WorldMasters Diplomacy Tournament

I don't see a way right now that you can hold onto that last supply center. Both Britain and Turkey are in a position to kill you and if the British and Turkish players are smart you will not have a supply center territory to run to. Unless you can strike up some sort of deal, I would just go with holding as the game is drawing to a close. Good luck!
 
Gosh, you make it sound bleak.

I think it is a really good position.
 
Well, 1909 ends in a week and I will survive, most likely with just Berlin in my hands. Ahhh well, I learned a lot... at least our team won't finish in last place! :crazyeye:
 
After alot of diplomacy I succeed in holding out in St.Petersburg!

I am proud to say Austria, Turkey and Italy all used the moves I set them that final Fall and that my scare tactics concerning Germany handing England the game worked a treat :D

Well, so far THIS is the BEST result of our Civdip team :lol:

Well, my game ended in a furious finish, there was no solo, I ended up with just Berlin, tied for 5th place and got our team exactly 2.5 points, which is at least more than Kitten got us! :p

We (CFC team) are currently 72nd of 73 teams, ahead of only a team that was thrown together of extras!

I think am going to have to change my avatar to a scarlet 'D'... ;)

Yes, well, at least you gentlemen finished with points. My game ended with no solo victory. However, since my ship into oblivion sailed away from Turkey many, many years ago, I end up with nothing. :lol: but I had a lot of fun and would most certainly do it again. just don't look for me to win....:lol: :lol: :lol:

At least nobody (technically) finished ahead of me, so you could say I tied for 1st. :p

We could, but we aren't going to and in terms of points earnt, you were tied 7th and then thrown off a bridge into a river :p
 
I haven't read this thread above yet, so I don't know if it's been reported, but I just finished my game with one measly supply center (Naples).

We finished 72 out of 73 teams, earning a total of 9.0 points (the last place team has 8.0 points, so it was close!)

CivFanatics 9.00 (4) 0.00 (0) 9.00
WM02R106, Austria (Flatlander Fox) SC: 05 05 05 06 02 01 01 01 01 5th (3 way tie) 2.0 points

WM02R107, England (Toasty) SC: 04 03 01 02 02 00 00 00 00 Eliminated 0 points

WM02R109, France (4 players! finished up by Col) SC: 03 03 03 00 00 00 00 00 Eliminated 0 points

WM02R113, Germany (Magnus) SC: 05 06 08 08 08 06 05 03 01 5th (2 way tie) 2.5 points

WM02R118, Italy (Richard III) SC: 04 05 04 05 05 03 02 01 01 5th (2 way tie) 2.5 points

WM02R126, Russia (kittenOFchaos) SC: 05 02 02 02 02 02 01 01 01 6th 2.0 points

WM02R140, Turkey (Ambuel) SC: 04 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Eliminated 0 points

The Tournament's cut-off to get to Round 2 is based on individual rather than team efforts, but either way, nobody on the CFC team will be advancing.

Thanks for playing, my fellow CFC-ers, and remember, when we get back into this game in 2 years, we can hardly do much worse!

ROFL!

4 of us survived. Those that I expected to survive, just not with only 1 supply centre, did so.


I will be honest and say I'm sure that in future tournaments myself, Fox, Magnus and Richard III in particular will do better.

For my own part I have to say I have never been in a game of standard diplomacy where I was so isolated diplomatically and I can place that entirely upon the heads of Austria and France. The Austrians by working with Turkey, the French as they managed to get an Anglo-German Alliance against them so setting up the Alliance that almost let England Solo.
 
I'd like to be in from the start next time. NMRs really kill you in a competition like that both because you fall behind rapidly and you miss your builds but mainly because the other players cant trust that country and just want rid of you as fast as possible......
 
Often wondered what a tournament game would be like...
 
The 'CAT' Tournament runs every 2 years so the next available one will be fall of 2006. Redscape has an annual tournament which will be up and running shortly however you need to have completed a non-tournament game there to be eligible to play in it.
 
Might be worth getting those non-Tourney games in so we can put a team in.

It'd be better if we get in training sooner so we send in a stronger team, at the very least one with no nmmers.
 
Who would be our seven?
Is Flatlander Fox still active? He tried to send me a PM a couple weeks ago, but my inbox was full and it bounced off. I sent him a PM notifiying him of this, but it remains unread.
