Diplomacy 2012: The Never Ending Wargame of Never Ending Stories

Yeah. I got all the names and linked to their profiles for fast message taking.

You, Terrance, are a god amog men. Thank you.

1 day remains for orders.

King Victor III watched as his armies marched. A foghorn belched as he turns to watch his fleet. Already, his opponents-not necessarily enemies- are making their moves. He might be inexperienced in the art of Diplomacy, but the little he has has been put into full use as spring slowly arrived.

With a nod, Prime Minister Borgia threw the bottle of wine against the newest battleship in the Italian fleet. Christined Imperium, it shall be the flagship of the advance into the Mediterranean.

As she pulled out of the drydock that was her womb and joined the fleet already steaming a long, he pondered on whether he has truly made the right choice.

The only way to win, I guess, is to not play.

All orders in. Updating now.

You made a mistake with my orders.

Edit: Hi.

Amazing German moves

Truly they will go down as Bismarckian in the legendary level of astute statesmanship displayed here

Never miiind.

This German aggression against our Austrian neighbors shall not be forgotten.

I shall lend support to the Bohemian-Viennese theater to those who ask for it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

King Victor, Prime Minister Borgia and Secretary of War Machiavelli gathered around the strategic planning map.

They're all thinking. What is this? We've been had!

But outwardly, they showed none of this doubt. "The mass movement towards Austria concerns everybody here" spoke Borgia, "There are plans afoot." And he pointed to the mass convergence towards the Habsburg territories.

"Austria is least of our problems" spoke Machiavelli "It's Germany I'm worried about. With such spread moves, I suspect they will consolidate in a vice here" he pointed on the map "before the end of 1902."

"Silence, this is the room for planning, not complaining" spoke King Victor, "Despite all these distractions , Diplomacy remains the key. Send for the Telegraph, I need to have a word with the Ambassador.

Whether Austria holds or falls, truly depends on what we'll get either way.

Besides, for the Germans I don't know whether to chuckle or chortle. At least they managed to fix that dastardly mistake.

Italy is weak. Only diplomacy can make it strong."

May it forever be known as the Milarqui Opening.

lurker's comment: Watching with interest.

My wealth of experiences with this game have not been good.

Lurking.

As I have never played diplomacy in my life, I'll watch with interest.

Send me your builds with 12-24 hours. The sooner the better.

Shucks. Dammit, did not get around to take Warsaw.

I am just astounded of the German generalship

Victor looked on the map, his fingernails digging into his palms as he remembered the Austrian Army secured their control over Venetia over the past few months. "What have I done wrong?" he asked himself. However his face was still when he finished, looking up into the worried eyes of Borgia and Machiavelli.

They should be worried. Father had the tendency for punishing ineffective officials.

"Well?'

"The main problem, sire, is that we haven't started lying yet" said Machiavelli, "Once the lying commences, the Diplomacy will Flow."

"The real problem" said Borgia, "is that we trust our opposition to lie, but do not lie ourselves. We have to leave open the rare possibility that they are speaking the truth sometimes."

Victor looked on the map again. Lying, to think of it! He's a bad lier since, well, his father forbid him from lying.

He's just out of practice.

He looked back at his ministers again. If he doesn't lie, that doesn't mean Italy won't.

It's good to be King.
