Autumn, 1901: no England AND no Germany? looks like france should have an easy game lol |
|
Autumn, 1901: It is a shame | |
Autumn, 1901: Maybe someone will drop in | |
Autumn, 1901: its only a 105 pot, so a cd or two is expected no biggie |

Spring, 1904: GameMaster: Oneshot0813 was banned: Multi/Meta/No Reply. The time until the next phase has been extended by one phase length to give an opportunity to replace the player. Remember to finalize your orders if you don't want to wait, so the game isn't held up unnecessarily! |
|
Spring, 1904: Wassup | |
Autumn, 1904: looks like france has the solo win here boys unless we all band together to stop him |
|
Autumn, 1904: Hey, that's me! | |
Autumn, 1904: Agreed. Sorry france! | |
Autumn, 1906: Russia is out. France is contained. I suggest we get Germany out and call a 4-way draw (sorry Germany). Thoughts? | |
Autumn, 1906: sounds good if turkey supports hold at tunis, and I support hold at Tyrrhenian, france is blocked in the south and if Austria and turkey send armies to rum/bud; then we can also block france in the centre France - you got close, but 12 is far enough from 18 that we can prevent a solo |
|
Autumn, 1906: I will draw with Turkey, but not with little guys | |
Spring, 1907: then you'll lose we have a stalemate, meaning it is impossible for you to gain ground so you can agree to a draw (once we have the stalemate line in place) and then you can either enter moves forever and never take anything, or agree to draw |
|
Spring, 1907: ive been caught in a stalemate myself a few times, once I had 17 centres, and the remaining 4 players, each with only 2-3 centres, manged to stalemate me because I didn't know the stalemate lines now I do and you will too frustrating though, doing well and then getting caught in a draw |
|
Spring, 1907: That is tragic. | |
Spring, 1907: I think france is suggesting that England and Germany be eliminated before we draw. If so, I agree with them on that and I dont think stalemate lines are irrelevant in those cases. | |
Spring, 1907: Or are you calling italy and I lite guys too?! :-) | |
Spring, 1907: Because italy and I do have you at a stalmate ... So if you are including us, then for that part of the board I agree with italy n | |
Spring, 1907: If you agree to a draw after eliminating England and Germany, then france and turkey should work together to make it quick, | |
Spring, 1907: I think that if Germany and England really work it, they can hold off france that being said; lets settle for a 4 way draw; france, turkey, Austria, myself we have stalemate lines from tyrolia down to tunis, france cant break past anywhere (ion support hold at tunis, naples support hold at tyrr, ven sup tusc=stalemate) also, about 1 move away from stalemate in the centre (if ser-tri, and bul-rum its a stalemate) scandanavia - as soon as that wraps up, we're done but france - you need more units there, fleets in mao, Africa, nao etc don't help as much as skag, Norwegian sea etc |
|
Spring, 1907: I think Austria and Italy should fight it out, and the winner gets to live. What do you think Turkey? | |
Spring, 1907: I like to watch a good fight | |
Spring, 1907: I wouldn't be opposed | |
Spring, 1907: But I can't see Italy or Austria agreeing | |
Spring, 1907: We could prod them into it. | |
Spring, 1907: How very Roman of the two of you ... :-) But I am not in. If Italy and I fight, then the two of you will be able to easily nibble away at our SCs. That will only lead to one result: giving France the solo. He's at 12 now, can easily get to 16 with Edi, Den, Nor and Swe. He just needs to pick up two from a weakened Italy, and who would blame him. Don't be lured by the blood sport Turkey!! France won't draw if he isn't forced to draw. And you need Italy and I to work together with you to force the draw. Anything else and you lose with the rest of us. |
|
Spring, 1907: PS. I have to say that I like your style France. But I still don't want you to get the solo. Nice job leaving those northern SCs until you find a way to break through the southern stalemate line. It's tempting to take them (the northern ones) but clearly you know that we will all gang up on you if you do take them and get to 16 so you have been patiently biding your time. I don't think it is going to work this time though. Unless Italy goes all Roman on me... :-) | |
Spring, 1907: lol france, Austria and myself are clearly both experienced, intelligent players why lose if you have a draw position? this is exactly why diplomacy is more like chess, than it is like risk more pure logic; you CANNOT take any more ground from us why would we give it away for free? bittersweet as it may be for you, this is a draw game the only questions now are 1. how many in the draw; 4,5, or 6, wind up in that final draw (and the answer is 4) 2. are the three of us going to try to kill you while you slowly wander up north and kill England and Germany? I bet if the whole board teamed up, we could kill france off, and then look at another draw scenario any thoughts? England??? |
|
Spring, 1907: Hey, what about the Turkey? I think he is a wise guy too... :-d | |
Spring, 1907: Perhaps England and Germany also, I just never chatted with them. | |
Spring, 1907: Not quite the Diplomacy master myself | |
Spring, 1907: france seems to like the turk; you and me I'm not so sure lol | |
Spring, 1907: Well, I am fairly large in comparison to you two. Maybe I'm a threat, or he wants me to attack you guys. | |
Spring, 1907: This is quite fun. I say, let's kill the little guys. I think I need 6 to win, I don't think I can do it. But this is good sport. | |
Guys, I am trying to wipe out England and Germany. It makes us all richer. Please, leave me alone while I help you. | |
I think that because England and Germany have both "left" this game, we can safely draw now and they get none of the points or anything unless we plan to keep pushing into old Germany? |
|
Yes, since England/Germany have left, they would not be part of a draw. So vote Draw France! Until you do, I will recommend that the rest of us keep trying to advance against you just to be safe -- don't want you to see an opening and change your mind about a draw! |

good game all! |
