04 Oct 11 UTC	Spring, 1901: It seems ridiculous that the pieces are color coded by type and not country. Am i missing something here. Once the action gets going its going to be very hard to tell whose pieces are whose (except your own...)
04 Oct 11 UTC	Spring, 1901: I believe that when a unit takes a region, that region turns the player's colour. So a unit will always be on the colour of its type.
04 Oct 11 UTC	Spring, 1901: That makes good sense. Cool.
11 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Hey guys, Sorry, I am new to this game. Can anyone tell me why Spain is not still under my control? Thanks!
11 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: You need to be there in the fall to take control of a new territory.
11 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Is there any way to make this go faster?
12 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: We have to wait for Lindsay to resolve some action, I'm not exactly sure what, but it may have something to do with her losing a unit... The only way to make it go faster is to get her attention.
13 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: www.mopo.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fat-cat.jpg
13 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Well Played Soph
14 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: sorry guys! Internet in laos is not the best
14 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Lindsey, there are two functions, SAVE and READY. If you have saved, the game will not proceed until you have confirmed that you are ready. Please click READY.
17 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: If people are down, we could start a new, faster game?
17 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: The moment every person uses the READY command, the game proceeds. We could be having a turn every day if people made their moves, but I think the point is that people are busy, which is why we have such a long turn period.
17 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Also, how's your fancy residence, Sam?
17 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Meet any politicians?
18 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Meet any politicians?
18 Oct 11 UTC	Spring, 1902: Not yet. I'm hoping to snag Iggy soon, but it hasn't happened. I'm giving a talk on Thursday about election stuff, so I'm hoping some politicians come and I can dazzle them.
24 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Completely missed a turn. Sheeeit
30 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: I'm trying to understand what went down between Germany and Russia at Norway and Sweden. Looking at the big map, it looks like Skagerrak attacked Norway, which Canceled Norways support hold of Sweden. And the Baltic Sea support held Denmark, but what was Denmark doing? Doesn't the yellow line mean a support attack? Duncan, explain yourself.
31 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Apparently I didn't properly understand how the support function works.
31 Oct 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: I guess Sam got lucky. Meanwhile Austria is awol
02 Nov 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: That support button is a real bitch.
03 Nov 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Remember, support is only useful if there is another army doing something in the region your supporting, ie: support hold from Buhr to Munich is only useful if there is already an army in Munich holding. Support from Baltic Sea a move into Sweden from Denmark is only useful if there is a unit in Denmark is actually moving to Sweden.
05 Nov 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: I self indulged and made an alternative visualization of the map. http://www.sfu.ca/~jdk3/Fun/Diplomacy/
15 Nov 11 UTC	Spring, 1903: that's awesome
15 Nov 11 UTC	Spring, 1903: I thought you'd like it :D
21 Nov 11 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Fatality
02 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: Dudes, are we playing this game or what?
22 Dec 11 UTC	Spring, 1905: vell, i think that it about it.
24 Dec 11 UTC	Spring, 1905: is*
26 Dec 11 UTC	Spring, 1905: :(
07 Jan 12 UTC	Spring, 1906: Sorry everyone, Christmas totally ruined my game. I think if we started again with quicker turns we would have better luck.
