Civdip XV: Gunboat fun

[slappy]

I've had a request for a 24 hour extension of the deadline. I won't be sending out another reminder, but the adjusted deadline for this season is Saturday at 11:59pm GMT

 

[Magnus]

Hah, Magnus I wish I'd known it was you. I feel quite the fool now, outlining specific moves for your strategy plans. Appropriate for the newcomer I thought you were, but I feel like a patronizing bastard knowing who it really was.

Yea I definitely tried to uplay the n00b card to hide my identity as much as possible. I guess it worked pretty well...

Played it like a natural you mean

I burst out laughing.

I've received all sets of orders, but I don't feel right about cutting the extension short in case other players are now counting on the deadline being tomorrow. If you want me adjudicate before 11:59pm GMT Saturday, send me a quick mail saying so. So long as everyone agrees, I can adjudicate whenever.

Rogue German Army not yet destroyed kisses it's ass good bye

 

[Dreadnought]

I really do not care...

I want to see how this fight resolves.

Damn, looks like I didn't get back in till too late to check my mail and update my provisionals. Great game of rugby (and game we win 25-0 is great) that we won today, though my face looks abit worse for wear with a lovely cut and a massive shiner developing.

 

[Keirador]

France would accept a three-way draw at this point. A four-player draw seems excessive.

 

[Magnus]

Italy would accept that.

and Kitten why'd you move BLA to SEV, I could have been in Galicia instead of stuck in Rumania...

Reading my post would have been helpful.

As for a 3-way draw, who'd be getting the chop Italy/France? Russia and I await your reply with interest.

 

[Keirador]

I care little, I just don't like 4-way draws. They seem so inconclusive, if you're going to end the game with over half the participants sharing in "victory", why play at all? Seems likely that Russia would get the chop, though, as it's smallest.

 

[Keirador]

I doubt it'll be an issue, but just to avoid any potential problems, I will no longer be checking mail with the francecivdipxv@yahoo.com account. Keirador@gmail.com is my normal account.

 

[TrailblazingScot]

How I feel about "draws" is it just isn't, it simply is an end to War and then rankings taken by supply centers.

So France 1st. Italy 2nd, Turkey 3rd, Russia 4th and the rest by order of elimination - so Austria 5th, Germany 6th and England 7th place respectively.

 

[slappy]

Just so we're clear, we don't really have any definite draw proposal on the table right now. If you folks are serious, I'll need someone to make a clear proposal, either four-way or three-way (naming the three), and then we'll have a 48 hour period for votes, either public or private. In the case of a 3-way proposal, I'll need a unanimous "yes" and non-votes will be counted as a "yes" vote.

 

[Dreadnought]

Disband fleet.

I vote no and probably always will.

 

[slappy]

France:
Build F Marseilles

Russia:
Remove F Livonia

Germany:
Remove A Prussia (eliminated)

Spring, 1910 orders are due to me at 11:59pm GMT on Friday, Jan 20.

I read it - but why'd you order it anyway?

 

[Keirador]

I vote no and probably always will.

Assuming anyone wants this game to end, the task that confronts us, gentleman, is to eliminate the Russian without allowing me a chance to win. I suggest this could be accomplished by putting Italo-Turkish troops into position, whereupon they wait for the complete withdrawal of French troops from any territories sufficiently close to Russian land to inspire trepidation, before seizing Warsaw and Moscow for Italy and Turkey.
