Um.... which account are you?

I think you left the last digit off the gameID. Is this the game you mean?
gameID=140703

Yep sorry gameID=140703

Seems an odd comment, since 1912 is where you finally seemed to be finding a direction and sticking with it. Abandoning Sevastopol was pretty gutsy, I think, but Bulguria and Greece were the weaker parts of Austria's defenses, so it seems reasonable to me. I'll be interested to hear what others have to say.

It's hard to tell without the press. You'd hope that, at that point in the game, turkey would realize that Austria doesn't have the fleets (or time) to eliminate turkey but it's definitely normally on the larger power to foster trust and create a safe stalemate line. Austria's move to Rumania was pretty unnecessary, IMHO. Likewise, turkey's fleet shouldn't have left turkey but clearly you guys were on the same page enough to get the draw nailed down.

It was gunboat game btw

Haha, oh. I have no idea then. God damn gunboat.

It looks an awful lot like Austria is trying to cut you out of the draw. The support to Ukraine was entirely unnecessary - Moscow should have supported Warsaw or Sev (to emphasize friendliness). Likewise, moving to Rumania, combined with the move to Ukraine, really made it look like Austria wanted Turkey gone. I would have done the same thing.

Looking only at 1912 onwards, I think your play was fine, Maniac. You were in a difficult position at that point and did well to hold on to take part in the draw.

(I'd say you made a mistake in Fall 1902, and from then on you were fairly hemmed in.... but that wasn't what you asked)

Yeah I was hoping people would ignore early mistakes Jamiet

It was a gunboat game, but anyone can see the global after-game chat here:

Those EOG comments might help add some context to the discussion that Maniac was alluding.

Also, let me give the voting history, which I think also adds some further context to the moves. Immediately after England's 1909 stab on France, every other player put up their draw votes.

After France and Russia were eliminated at the end of 1911, it was down to just Austria, Turkey, Italy, and England. At some point (I think in early 1912 before the spring moves), Turkey took down his draw vote, so it was just Austria and Italy voting for the draw. Turkey's draw vote finally came back up during early 1913 (before the spring moves). The game was eventually drawn before fall 1913 moves since Italy got banned and England chose the classy route of not capitalizing off the CD for a cheap solo.

I had expected that the game would have just been drawn at the beginning of 1912, since we had the stalemate more than assured, but England clearly wanted to see some more action. Turkey's removal of his draw vote signaled ominous (and misguided) intentions, so my (Austria) moves in 1912 were aiming to address any trouble by securing my rear.

Even the beginning of 1912 was not threatening to Turkey. One of Austria's fleets was parked far away in TyrSea, while the other in Greece was not very threatening given Turkey's ability to guarantee possession of the vital Aegean. I figured that we would just sit tight and wait for England to realize that none of us were going to flinch and give him an opportunity to solo. Instead we saw Turkey taking off his draw vote and then preemptively initiating paranoid (but apparently malicious/irrational) aggression against Austria.

Turkey taking Bulgaria in 1912 was annoying, but I guess that can be chalked up to over paranoia, despite the fact that I had not shown any aggression to him and was merely responding defensively to his sudden signalling of "no draw". However, the really dubious move was the spring 1913 attack on Greece and Rumania. It may have improved Turkey's safety, but came at the cost of sending a very negative signal that had me thinking that Turkey had no intent to play for a draw that included me. I don't think that move was justified given how 1912 had ended with no hostile moves against Turkish SCs and Austria losing a vital fleet.

I gotta +1 Yonni on this one. I would comment but I have only played the classic version (barring ONE gunboat game) and am not qualified to really add anything.
