I was France.

I got the most idiot England ever I guess, I was constantly supporting him into belgium, in the first 3 rounds, but he did nothing.

Russia:
Why didn't you attack turkey at the and instead of germany?
Why didn't you go to tuscany, when both italy and I supported you? That would have helped me a LOT!

Turkey:
The same, why didn't you attack russia at the end?

Germany:
You could have easily destoryed that russian ship, cover germany, and take scandinavia and StP whenever you want. It was a really bad defense


All in all, I really enjoyed this game :)
Russian or Turkish stab would have helped you a lot,that's true,but would also helped to a German solo.
France:
How you can't see it?

Well, for England it seems this has been the very first game :) That explains a lot ... No problem in that case, at all ...

Good game, gentlemen. I didn't attack at the end because I couldn't risk him suiciding and handing the game to the German. Though if I had managed to make it over the stalemate line in the Med, that would've required a rethink.

SplitDiplomat: I'm not so sure about that. Maybe you are right, seems likely, I'm just not sure.

I would have never let that happen :) A turkish fleet in the atlantic is disastrous for northern countries. Just look at how 1 single russian ship disturbed Germany.

I was Germany, historically I suck as Germany, so I was pleased with the result.

England: He was an unfortunate addition to this game, he really did not seem to know what he was doing (apparently his first game on WebDip). I really didn't understand his moves at all... he didn't attack France OR myself... what was the point in moving to the channel if you are going to do neither?

France: My Autumn 1907 moves entirely changed the game and suddenly made us allies. I agree I totally botched the end there with that Russian fleet. I really did not pick up on the fact you were going to stalemate the south until it was too late. In part the result of the previous turn was so unexpected I just wasted too much time completely changing strategy. That said, I continued playing shitty defense the following year or two, including in central europe where I should have just pulled back to the stalemate line immediately.

Russia/Turkey: I was hoping one of you would attack the other, but it never really looked like it would happen, which is fair, since it likely would have given me the opportunity to win, but may have also resulted in a smaller draw, especially if Turkey had stabbed Russia, since France could have pretty easily refocused his fleets and armies on protecting France/Iberia. Turkey, I definitely felt that before I jumped to a lead in SC's, you had a few easy pickups in the Balkans from Russia, and that was a point in the game that it looked like it would be a horse race between yourself and France.

Austria/Italy: Honestly I paid almost no attention to either of you throughout the game. Italy, you had some strange builds... too many fleets I believe, especially getting stuck with that fleet in Trieste that was useless at supporting any further moves towards the Balkans.

Agree with Roka, I had a lot of fun playing, and that was certainly my best result as Germany. I wish we'd had a more competent England, even if that had resulted in my demise.

France: I think they made the right decision not stabbing each other at the end... however I think a few years prior (before I took England's home centers), Turkey had a grand opportunity to stab Russia and run away with the game.
I'm positive.If he had attacked me I would have given everything to Germany. And I didn't even think once about the stab because it would have been the most stupid thing to do,I was weak from the start till the end,Russia is allways weak,even when he has 12 SC-s.
And Germany would have destroyed you easily if he hadn't been busy with me.

Marxism
Marxism is fundamentally a theory of history which should entail a commitment to social change; that is, a commitment to a socialist future in which the forces of production are not owned privately as they are in capitalist societies but under common ownership.

Chelski playing Barca
And Drogzilla scores. I effing hate Chelski, but I have nothing but admiration for Drogba. It helps that they're playing Barca, who I fucking detest since their several year long campaign to stoke Fabregas' discontent. Seriously, fuck them.
