Congrats hellalt on GB1.

Not my best game, I was Italy and as often seems to be the case in my games as Italy, twa was Austria. My usual strategy of lepanto-to-austrian stab didn't work as well here as R and A worked together marvelously.

A big part of the win was when France got TUN in 1912. I was still in play enough and it allowed him to keep it without contest until he could muster the forces to hold it.

The game then came down to BER, I think Russia would have been better suited to bring one of his armies in Scandinavia down to LIV right away as the only remaining potential stalemate was on this territory. Scandianvia couldn't be stalemated and France recognized this very well and went head-long for BER and it paid off.

This was a very, very well played game by all parties. Glad I could be a part of it.

Very good game indeed. France won Berlin with that brilliant convoy to Livonia... It was obviously there to break Prussia's support of Berlin. I mistakenly assumed they would gamble and use A Munich to break Silesia's support of Berlin as well and I went for Munich... and failed. It's clear I overthought that move a bit and should have just supported Berlin, but oh well. All over now.

Congrats California on the win. I believe its mathematically impossible for them to lose now?

so goldfinger you think I'm from California right? :P
with one game left everything is still possible!

As far as the gunboat game is concerned I have to say it came really close to a 3 way draw but I ve got 2 consecutive good guesses that opened the way to the solo, the convoy to liv and then the support to mun hold expecting aus to attack with triple support (instead of expecting sil to support hold ber and mun-sil to cut support which would have led to me losing mun and the solo).
thatwasawkward I don't think you overthought the moves. it was gamble indeed and we all tried to get into the opponents brain.

haha nooo, i knew you were Balkans. I just thought the previous post had the updated score, that's all!

Well played, Hellalt. Congrats.

mathematically speaking california balkans and iberia can still win but Balkans and Iberia need a solo in the last game. capital region, pacific northwest, ontario and texas can also get the silver medal depanding on the results of the last game.
spell of wheels, lardo: thanks!

And while the outcome of the game is certainly in flux, I highly doubt a solo is possible in a PP game, let alone this PP game

I agree. They may as well just draw now.

lol, no they shouldn't it. it should be played to its conclusion for obvious reasons.

hey don't be so american. there isn't just the 1st place. 2nd and 3rd place matter too. the last game is important at least for that.

Two things:

Firstly, South America is reported to have won the last World Cup with 438.5 here (when they actually won by 468.5 ):
http://tournaments.webdiplomacy.net/diplomacy-world-cup/world-cup-2010-1

Secondly, when is the information from this edition of the world cup going to get on that website? Who is supposed to be doing that?

Well, first this edition of the World Cup has to conclude before results can be posted.

Not true. Results began to be posted for the last one before the finals even started.

one game left to complete the last world cup.
no idea how uploads results to the site :P

Maybe someone can ask TheGhostmaker (userID=2188)?
