Since we seem to have a good streak going, I thought Id throw my hat in the GMing hat. This will be my first time doing so after years of playing. And, just to make it a really challenge, Id like to set up a gunboat variant. Nothing like secrecy to heighten the excitement. Since we do have a small group here, it might be nice not to know who's who for once. There will be no reputations to base anything off of. Here are the ground rules:
1.) Do NOT post your intent to enter the game here. PM me with that and you country preference list. First come first serve and a list of alternates would be nice. When I PM you back with you country assignment, PM me what you want your title and name to be.
2.) Once the game is full, I will create email addresses for each player. The idea is to keep identities secret until the end.
3.) The issue of mass press: If you wish to have press on the thread, email me or pm we with it and I will post it. Make sure the press is in quotation marks so I dont mess it up. Press may or may not be attributed.
4.) Order format as follows: When emailing orders, in the subject line you must have your country and the turn we are on. Ex. England Fall 1903 Orders. If you submit more than one set, Ill use the last set I receive.
Orders should be written out in order to avoid confusion.
Ex. A Paris Gascony
F London English Channel
F Barren Sea Convoy A St. Petersburg Norway
A Bulgaria Hold
A Venice Support A Rome Tuscany
So forth and so on ..I think you get the idea
5.) The goal is to have 2 turns a week, like Fall and Winter. Let me know if you have any vacation plans, family reunions, business trips, or anything else that gets in the way. Of course, the same goes for me. I would like to avoid NMRs.
6.) Ill adjudicate using Realpolitik. If everyone wants, I'll post the files. Maps of moves will be posted, too.
7.) Comments from anyone are always welcome on the thread.
Just a couple of suggestions: Perhaps pick a country you normally dont like to play to mix it up a bit. Vary your writing styles for your press. And have fun. I hope this works.
Let the game begin!
