Deraldin Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Crafty how Reveilled is pretending to be inexpert so as to curry favour in another Diplomacy game ... metagaming par excellence ... " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All the experience in the world doesn't help if you have 3 people attacking you at the same time. :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is why the name of the game is Diplomacy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which only works if people are willing to listen and respond to your attempts at diplomacy... :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I must say it is such good sportsmanship of Baley to participate in the game as much as he does. Boy, I really want to play more games with him, he's sooooooooo much fun!

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 That is why the name of the game is Diplomacy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think the diplomacy part went out the window with the first game. I mean now we KNOW who are backstabbers(everyone) and who are trustworthy(noone). If we played another game with the OBS1 cr3w, everyone would be so paranoid we'd get nowhere :D But I dont like OBS-1, noone is writing fun and witty news articles anymore p.s Whats wrong with Baley? Sure, he keeps saying that hell quit but he never does it its just clever disinformation DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

metadigital Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I would write an article, but I have no grey press to issue. You are too fundamental in your views, Kaftan. There is no way to win the game if you keep your alliances with everyone (even if that is just one person).

Baley Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 You know there was that great saying,"Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience." Anyway, Kaftan:Don't worry,we're gonna crush the inavaders next turn. Even if that's gonna be in OBS 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Yeah, you can't take it personally (especially since it was one of the conditions of playing the game: check the first post ). The fun of the game is not stabbing others, it's trying to work together: rating the opponents in trustworthiness, and seeing if you are correct. After all, we aren't playing for money!

Reveilled Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Sorry, yeah, my bad. I've been unable to get on acomputer all day, and I'm only on here for a few minutes. I'll extend the deadline until tomorrow and move each further deadline forward one day, if that's okay with everyone. If it's not, well, I won't find out about it until tomorrow anyway. Soree. Hawk!

Reveilled Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Okay, unless there are any strong objections, I'm going to do it all now, intead of in 45 minutes. When you send in your orders for next year, also add whether you are happy wil keeping the deadline for Fall at monday (thus shortening this turn), or moving it to tuesday (thus moving every deadline forward one day). A unanimous agreement is required to shorten this turn, and any non-votes will be counted as abstentions. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveilled Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Until Kaftan is actually eliminated (basically, until the end of next winter), declares that he has quit, or misses his next turn, any draw will be between the three of you. Personally, I think declaring a draw would be rather contrary to the spirit of the game. once France and Germany are actually out, you'll both be within a few centres of a win, and I think you both should press for it. Since by that point no negotiation would be required, we could speed turns up further for the last few days. Go on. Don't you want to be the winner of the first game of Diplomacy on the Obsidian boards? As we're finishing soon, I'd like to request that people begin posting End Of Game statements. If you could talk a bit about your plans, strategies, who you trusted when you shouldn't have, who you didn't when you shold have, what went wrong, what went right, and so on, it would make for interesting reading, and would help both other players and my upcoming online archive.
