Newbie looking for my game...
Sorry if this is obvious, but nothing in FAQs helped. I joined a game yesterday, my points went down from 100 to 75 (and still at that level) indicating that I joined.... but nothing shows up under "my games". How do I find the game I joined? Am I missing a step?

White House Hypocrisy...
They get the debt deal....and before the ink is dry, Obama is out giving his victory speech, proclaiming that the battle is not over, that everyone must sacrifice....Higher taxes are on the way. Kind of make a dude want to puke.

Great game. I had no chance without any fleets.
Anyone wants to make comments?
I fucking hate Turkey.

LOL @ Eden. I thought that was why you had that rant a week or two back about being Turkey.

I don't think you did anything wrong Eden, but when AI decide to have peace and attack you, it was just a matter of time. Maybe the only that might have helped would have been to support Russian in Rum during 1903.

I have had my share of bad gunboat games were I got eliminated Super quick but this was probably my worst. I would rather get eliminated quickly because of dumb moves then killed slowly.
I feel like I had an oddly easy time at the start of this game with Germany ignoring Denmark entirely. That coupled with Russia not bouncing me in Norway led to British domination of Scandinavia fairly quickly. My overall strategy was to basically just dominate the Atlantic. I blockaded the Mid-Atlantic Ocean early and took St. Pete, and Germany never really had much of a navy...
Yeah, I don't know. I'm usually terrible as England. Everything went better than expected.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

I hope you don't take offense Riphen, but man, I have to agree with you that it was a very badly played game as Germany. You ignored Denmark and Belgium to go... after Burgundy. That precisely made England into a powerhouse and once that happened, England was pleased to have you butthead with France while he invaded Russia and blocked off MAO.
Riphen (198 D)

I was hoping England would try for a power rush on Russia.......so I could Focus on France......
Riphen (198 D)
02 Aug 11 UTC
but I mean with armies...
zultar: I did. I supported Russia into Rumaniafrom A01 to S03. I stopped in A03, which was incidentally when he stopped trying for Rumania and tried to sue for peace with Austria by supporting its hold. Problem is, I was supporting the army in, he kept trying to move the fleet in and didn't pay attention to the fact that Austria was hostile until it was far too late.

Basically, all my neighbors decided to open as anti-Turkish as they reasonably could afford, and the only reason I got a friend at all was because Russia realized he was the odd man out and had to work with me. And unlike with, say, Germany or Austria, where your collapse directly hurts everyone opposite you and can spur some opposite theater powers to help... NO ONE and I mean NO ONE gives a flying fuck if Turkey dies, and they're actually happy to see it happen, because it usually takes for-fucking-ever to do. The East wants it dead because the East decided they want it dead, and the West is just like "Oh cool, they just wasted seven years killing one power, now if you'll excuse me I'll be doing some open running behind your stalemate line."

I thought Riphen's opening was interesting and that I was going out early, but kept fighting and it paid. Troodonte had a great game as usual and Gobba took the risk of signaling to England that he wouldn't win by giving a center to Austria. I'm glad that it worked!
@Riphen: I'd think your opening is more hoping to stir up an EG v F than F v G and E v R. You're not going to get anywhere against France solo. If you want to spark some 1v1s as Germany you want to see E v F and G v R.

Riphen (198 D)

If I didnt jump the gun on attacking England for no reason what so ever I think England would of left me alive longer and probably if Austria continued to Grow I would of survived........uhhhhhhhhhhh fail.....by me.
Riphen (198 D)
02 Aug 11 UTC
I dont have as many points and would like to keep some I think I could do 150.....
Heh, Riphen, yeah, I was kind of planning to just ride the England/Germany alliance as far as it would go until that.
Gobba (2209 D(G))
02 Aug 11 UTC
I thought I took the biggest risk at the end of the game, when I convoyed to Albania, and then removed one of my two units in Italy proper. Austria could have had an inside track on the win, but I was hoping England would grab the draw when he saw the position.

Beatles White Album
Thoroughly enjoying it at this moment...reminiscing about the various states of mind I encountered myself in low those many years ago in college when I discovered this album. That was the time in my life were I enjoyed the vision of purple jellyfish dropping their tendrils out of the sky upon an unsuspecting humanity. Ahhh....good times...

After nearly 3.5 years, I finally finished 100 games!
I like how I still have single digit survives, since survives are my least favorite, they mean I gave up a solo while alive. I was kind of hoping for 50 draws and 25 wins, along with the 16 defeats and 9 survives, then D = 2w, w = d + s, D = w + d + s, and d ~= 2s, but suppose I won't complain. ;-)
