Remember to finalize your orders if you don't want to wait, so the game isn't held up unnecessarily!
09 Feb 17 UTC [Libya]:A real nail biter this one. Thank you everyone for playing.

Almost got me with your possum playing major Mitchell

Capt brad you played mighty well but I got the right guesses on you in the last couple of turns

Sorry to every all I betrayed, I did appreciate the help. Thanks the game tho
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:I think that was the most unnecessary betrayal I have ever experienced. I am most annoyed about that and it only have contempt for you as a consequence. For silly emotional reasons, I regarded that game as the most important Diplomacy game I have ever played. I take a rather Catholic view of the "forgiveness" process. After tresspass comes confession, then acts of contrition, and only then should an apology be offered. So I refuse to accept your pathetic apology.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Western-Canada]:i'm just sorry that it took so long for OZ to stop fighting me and start fighting Libya. it seems that i was the only one fighting libya
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:I would have supported you, swordsman all the way. I had deployed my units so there was no way I could be any threat to your country. How else could I fight Western Canada succesfully other than with total commitment. Ithink my move that captured Mexico was pivotal in messing with a powerful defacto alliance. I think your betrayal was despicable, duplicitous and downright stupid. I wasn't playing possum, I was expressing my absolute contempt for your actions
09 Feb 17 UTC [Western-Canada]:what alliance?!?!?
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:Furthermore you despicable, disloyal, unprincipled, selfish clown, your actions have been a big influence on my decision to quit playing a game I have loved for more than thirty years.. Well done indeed.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Western-Canada]:wow.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:@wc yes, it was my my surprise move with fleets earlier that stopped Argentina from launching an attack North while you were finishing off Québec, but then a little later there was this demilitarised zone between you and Argentina, which looked like a defacto alliance, or at least defacto peace. By taking Mexico, both you and Argentina moved units to that area, and a fight broke out between you both. Simply getting those units to be moved there helped, in that they couldn't be used elsewhere. I had a devil of a time early, thanks to the way Sth Africa played.
Anyway as I have remarked, I am deeply offended by the behaviour of swordsman, I only have one other game going, and that's gone pear shaped on me, so I can now NMR my way out of that quickly and leave backstabbin' dogs behind me.
If there had been no viable alternative way for swordsman to win I might be less annoyed, but there was a viable alternative, it just would have taken longer. So I see his backstab as unnecessary, selfish, impatient and definitely despicable.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:Consider this, I'm not upset about swordsman's actions, I am not angry, I am INCAN~FLIPPIN'~DESCENT & you have barely glimpsed my fury, my absolute contempt.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Western-Canada]:i took over the account when the previous person was removed by the mods
09 Feb 17 UTC [Europe]:There is really no place for someone like him on this site. Emotional maturity of a 3 year old.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Western-Canada]:ah he will get over it; i did
09 Feb 17 UTC [Brazil]:geez, maybe diplomacy isnt your game! try something that doesnt upset you so much
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:Oh I absolutely intend to do exactly that. Something else entirely. My name for this game is "A lament of lice and fljes" which sums up some of my feelings about the whole affair.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:Bloody typos..A lament of life and flies.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:And again, this asinine s/w..A lament of lice and fljes.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:F f f .. Triple f. ..A lament of lice and flies...hoo- bloody-minded rah
09 Feb 17 UTC [Libya]:Well, thanks for playing one last game with us then majormitchell.
09 Feb 17 UTC [Oz]:Triple f again .... hoo- bloody- rah.
