DipNES VIII: Revenge of Bedbug Island

[Lord_Iggy]

You know the drill! Everyone interested in joining can list the nations they would like to play, in descending order of preference.

Deadlines will be 48 hours for moves, 24 hours for builds and retreats. I will only update if I have 50% +1 order sets, otherwise I will grant 24 hour extensions. If I have all of the orders before the deadline, I will update early. Please send your orders in a single PM, titled with your nation's name and the word 'orders'. If you want to change your orders, simply send a new orderset, and I will delete the old one.

For those of you unfamiliar with Diplomacy, it's easy to learn, and useful rulebooks and strategy guides can be found easily online.

[Terrance888]

Hi Nintz. We're Whatever Pals Together!

In as whatever.

"Hi I'm too lazy to make the minimally required effort of figuring out what nations I want to play so I'm going to be a massively unhelpful noob instead"

 

[Lord_Iggy]

No... they're here to play and they don't have a preference for one nation over another. Sheesh.

 

[Nintz]

@Terrance888 - Yay!

@Thlayli- I was more worried about not getting a spot. But, since you seem to not like it.

Turkey
France
Italy
Germany
Russia
UK
Austria

P.S. I am a noob at diplo, you know

 

[Thlayli]

In my world, not following the rules is a better way to not get a spot than spending 30 seconds making decisions.

 

[Terrance888]

Pfff fine.

I dunno which nations are what so uh... hmm.

I like eating Turkey, so Turkey goes first. And you can't have Turkey without Austria!
France goes with Spain, and Spaniards are funny. Especially Cocker Spaniels.
Germany should go with Spain though. Habsburgs amirite?
Italy. I forgot Italy. And England.
I just played Russia, so screw dat.

Turkey
Austria
France
Germany
Italy
England
Russia

GRFAEIT

 

[Lord_Iggy]

So you're not joining, Bowsling? We need one more to start.

 

[talonschild]

Bollocks. I wanted to play from the beginning, but damn this is popular. If there's enough support I might start a second.

Germany
Austria
Russia
France
Turkey
England
Italy

EDIT: You DO need one more. Cool!

 

[Bowsling]

Also recommended reading to avoid the same lolworthy start as last time:

[Bowsling]

Oh wow I hate unrefreshed forums. I initially miscounted, thinking the game was full. But I'll ste aside if TC wants to play.

 

[Terrance888]

But lolworthy starts are the best starts!
