Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.

fllying boat, I was just going to post that...lol Three of them turds (West/west/fuhrer) always play together, I had them in another game a few days ago.

I have my doubts on them, but they are so bad, Even vicky can beat them...lol

That could easily be the final game of my Resignation Tournament.

I think that terry32smith might be vicky's sage/mentor or something. Seems she is following in his footsteps :P

Vicky isn't a sociopath that lies about his dog and children being hit by cars to try and guilt other people into pausing a live game she loses, so she's nowhere near terry's level yet.

Vicky games are always 'interesting' lol She does like to play with some big names though dont she? Her big 25% resign rate though...wow I am sure it is higher, but I think sometimes, she CDs, and then everyone kilsl her, and the resing dont count.

no, she is just really bad at CDing/NMRing...lol

Oh, and she's not literally the lowest-rated (by GR) live games player right now, so...

can someone tell me what a 'GR' is?

I see it a lot spoken about, but I think maybe it is not on this site this 'GR'?

oh geez. I have a really low rating...lol I must suck then, huh?

here I think i am getting better...lol

Even funnier is that Zmaj is ranked below Vicky...

I feel like the Lindsey Lohan of Diplomacy, thanks guys! <3

vicky, you have earned it...lol You seem so eager to play a game, and then you go poof.

@theflyingboat, everyone DOES say that gr does
provide a better way to measure people's skill, so what does that say about Zmaj?

I blame my resign rate on my lack of desire to continue support holding with my last unit in St Petes as the reason. :(

@achillies Vicky>Zmaj.

You CDed our game last night as Russia (gameID=90756) and could have easily made a comeback, or at the very least changed the course of the game and possibly gotten into the draw. You left in Spring 1903 and St. Petersburg wasn't taken until Fall 1908. Up to that point, Austria was vulnerable in Moscow and you could have changed the course of the game and likely received part of the draw. Not only that, Norway was wide open for several turns, so you could have even built.


Buuuuuuuutttt.....you decided to quit the minute you started to lose. You're a horrible player and it's only by sheer bad luck that I end up in games with you.

I should also add that Czech has come back and won a game after being down to a single center.

I'd like to retort, but I would have to agree that it's horrible of me to leave games when I feel it un-salvageable.

On one thing I can argue back against is your ridiculous argument that a one center country is able to recover effectively. Please, don't cite The Czech, instead, show me how you yourself have been able to accomplish such a feat. :)

gameID=90882
Check out this game ....... what a carve up.
I'd love to see the EOGs from England, Germany and Italy ..... something was very wrong here

The Czech's case is obviously the exception. However, I still stand by my assertion, which is quite valid, that a one center country can easily affect the outcome of a game and be a part of the draw. In gameID=90756, for example, you could have taken Norway in F1911 and built another army in St. Pete. The following turn, Austria left Moscow practically undefended when I blitzed Warsaw, so you would have had an opportunity for a third build, given I was in no position to attack Norway. At that point, both Turkey and Italy were well on their way to being eliminated and you could have continued to pressure Warsaw and Sev while I moved on Vienna. You gave up a draw because you quit at the first sign of adversity.

Vicky, you need to play til the end, so that you can help effect the outcome. Get in on a draw. Germany and france wouldnot have stopped you from helping fight austria in that game, and I can see you ending up with 3 SCs at the end, and holding Moscow.
