You'd have no way of knowing whether or not I planned them in advance, which would be both a great temptation to myself, and a great scapegoat to the rest of you if I successfully predict your moves.

metadigital Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Aren't you the GM of game 3? That makes you the final arbiter of the time frame ... if any of my players in game 2 screw up twice in a row then you may be offered a stand-in position there, though I'm trying to avoid that contingency.

Archmonarch Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 That's it. Im out. I was going to give it a chance, but if my strategies are going to be posted for all to see, thereby providing an unseemly advantage to all others, there is no reason for my continued participation. From now on consider England neutral territory.

jaguars4ever Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 England's far from out. Even she loses Edinburgh to the Fatherland she still has a chance: merely leave Liverpool vacant for a possible build (which is safe given that no adjacent unit threatens Liverpool) and take the Iberian Gamble - like Reveilled said, you have a 50% chance of stealing Spain or Portugal. Should you capture the supply centre, build a unit in the vacant Liverpool and you're back in the game. Come on everyone (except France and Germany), get behind Archie!

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Russian army invades Silesia by Ludwig Rotwang, Berlin The presence of Russian troops in the easternmost state of the German empire has been confirmed. A handful of divisions marched across the border in May and are now camping out in the countryside in the heartland of Silesia. A letter of appology was sent to the german high command explaining that the supposed invasion as a mistake under the intoxicating effects of the vodka these eastern rowdies favour so much. Oberfeldtmarschall von Rundstein was less amused as he announced this to the press yesterday evening. "A drunk Russian is still a Russian. In fact, drunk is their normal state of being." When asked what the high commands response will, be he chuckled; "We have a very large gun pointed at them this very minute. Its actually so large and powerful that its obscene. It makes me smile just to think of it" 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.

EnderAndrew Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Tzar Ender Wiggin the Great issues the following statement. "Just because we are drunk, that does not mean people can take advantage of us with large phallic objects. We have a moral obligation to handle the crisis in Europe with sober responsibility.

Hip-hip-hooray good chap! :cool: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You forget, however, that even if I were to gain an Iberian Supply Center, I would have only two, as France controls London and Germany will soon have Edinburgh. As I already have two units, I will be unable to build anything this winter. In the worst possible scenario, I do not gain a new Supply Center and must disband a unit, leaving me with one and absolutely no chance to gain another.

EnderAndrew Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 The unfortunate aspect of this game is knocking out players. I can honestly say I enjoy the group we have, and I feel a tinge of guilt each turn as I attack my fellow players. I wish all the players were in the game until the end. I understand that games often have winners and losers, but actually knocking people out in early stages isn't that fun. Futhermore, Arch is right that often you are well aware of your despise a few turns before it happens. While I think it doesn't really hurt to submit moves, even if in futility, I know it isn't fun.
