Just to finish off this story, I managed to hang on and actually start to prosper in a northern alliance so that I finished in the DIAS with the third-largest SC share (technically fourth-largest, but only because it was Autumn when we stopped and the three SCs I'd just won had not yet...

About Face Slappy continues with dueling janissaries. My little pal California is about to knock Mexico's henchman Texas out of the game. Meanwhile, I'm essentially henchman to much bigger Heartland and New York LINK

Yeah it was very messy at the end of Round 1 and lead up to Round 2. Doug kept including me in the list of confirmed Rd. 2 players despite my dropping out of Round 2 back in July and writing him twice since to remind him of that.

We haven't even had all team members check in by email yet. Nothing close to discussing power assignments. I've floated a few dozen ideas for team names though. :)

You're considering joining a Diplomacy game here at CFC? I don't believe there are any. Try www.redscape.com if you want to join a Diplomacy game. They start up games for beginners every so often...although some so-called beginners may only be new to the site, not the hobby. ;)

I've just struck a deal (I think) with Heartland and NY. I was planning to resist them and hope for Mexico to join me in an eastward push, but an email from Mexico late yesterday more or less announced his intention to occupy the entire west coast right up to my doorstep. I've since ordered an...

Okay, note the time and date. BC's goose is cooked as of this moment. I am now being dictated terms...not quite explicitly for my survival but the writing is on the wall. New York won't cut me any slack on my efforts to hold off Heartland and Mexico has informed me that his little Texan...

I think you need to worry about opposing alliances more than anything else...kinda like any one of EF&G needing to avoid the other two ganging up. With BC, it's HL plus any of QU, NY or CA that will be deadly. Get one of the other three on your side and you have a chance. I made the decision...

Fall 2002 in Bravo This looks like the beginning of a slow downturn in BC's fortunes. New York has committed a minor stab, and nobody else is really doing much in the way of returning my emails. I could be wrong, but it looks to me like I'll only survive this thing at best.

Sign yourselves up here, gents. :D

Okay, it's getting a little difficult to compare the progress of the two games now because Charlie is now nearly a half-year in front of Bravo due to our having to replace a player. Still, one of the interesting differences that I see, at this stage, is that Quebec and Texas have been so...

You forgot a link. Charlie: Fall 2000 Man, Cali's really got it in for you, eh? It looks like Cali and Mexico may be patching things up in Bravo so I'll have to start sleeping with one eye open myself. :scan:

Okay, for better or worse, I'm taking my bite of Quebec and hoping that NY is willing to work with me. Bravo: Fall 2000 I'm anxious to hear Gnarf's commentary on Charlie: Fall 2000. Lots of action for BC as well in that game.

Meanwhile, I've got pretty good relations with Cali (mainly because he's under attack from Tx and Mx) and I'm torn as to whether to help Qu resist NY and HL or help to take QU out in the hopes that NY will join me in turning on HL next rather than the opposite.

I'll get it next year or maybe the year after if other opportunities arise first. ;)
