Game is cursed.Two players banned for last Saturdays antics and now a third.
I don't want single envelope for this game it should have three permanent ones seeing as it is a gunboat.And can't get rid of it till it ends.
By the way what is the record for most bans in one game.

I'll take over for turkey if someone PM's the password.

This is SO annoying. I was GOING to win that. Seriously, you guys *couldnt* stalemate me. But, seeing as if I don't draw, then people will freak out at me, fine.

why are you guys discussing this on the forum? eail the mods, this issue has nothing to do with the forum, especially not those parts where you discuss stalemate lines...

also I think, the general policy is, NMRs/CDs are part of the game, so are bans, find a replacement. Drawing/cancelling for that reason is up to the participating players unless there ws a cheating in the specific game in which case mods should cancel. Otherwise I don't see why mods should interfere, though you can still write them, if you think there's a chance.

You got a point roka, I should have PMed
That... Sorry.

@podiom, I don't know about the record, but this game can certainly qualify for the race :)
gameID=100409

I also volunteer finishing that Turkey. I sat it during its most recent expansions and was getting the hang of that game :-)

Yeah red house... We don't have to password, and this one wasn't paused while I let the mods figure what to do about the passwords... So, I drew... Though it was impossible for you guys to win..

No it wasn't, IMHO. http://www.diplom.org/Online/StalematesAtoY/western.htm

That's why I didn't vote draw. Austria had to be kicked out from the game and frankly, I was planning on taking down Russia in one go, hoping achillies would pick up the signal and support me into Moscow. Lame 5-way. Meh.

GG.While it ran anyways.
Believe France had it despite Turkey's bold plan to take Russia and Austria out.Since he had me surrounded in Berlin/Munich.

My plan was this:

A Con build

Tri-Tyo [Ven S]
Alb-Tri [Adr S]
Rum-Bud [Ser S]
Con-Rum [Bla C]
(Sev-Ukr / Sev S Mos h)

And then in autumn strike at all the key positions. The reason I struck Austria from Bud was to continuously convey the message to Russia that it was the cutting of Austria out of the draw (I believe that was a message he'd picked up on) I was after and not him. Then a turn after I'd have decided whether or not it was worth the risk cutting Russia out with a single devastating blow, risking French victory or not. Anyway, the game was, IMHO, and like many games I've seen played on this site, far from over...

I would have won that you guys. I just figured that... My GR should already be going up, so I didn't care... Good game, I had that won though.

Arguments?

Seriously though Redhouse, I had a plan with 100% chance of success. I would have taken Tunis Berlin and Munich as my final three SCs, and I would have won even without the CD... I'm unhappy that I clicked draw...

Moves?

GoL-Tuscany.
You guys * wouldnt* have enough supports.
I would have taken Livonia and Tyrolia that turn, I would have won that game 2 years from now.

Zmaj's butt wasn't (completely) kicked, that's what matters to me. But thanks, achillies :)

I'm starting another game zmaj, care for a rematch?

Thanks for the invitation, but I'll stick to live games from now on.

Lol, OKAY.

In the future, please wait for the game to actually finish before discussing it.

Understood, gold medal bearing sir.

I agree with red. When I looked at the position, Austria had to go, and it was possible to eliminate Russia. France was soon to be stalemated (as long as Italy could do what needed doing).

You guys couldn't have stopped me from getting Tunis...

There is no way achillies would have lost that game, he could have moved into tyrolia anytime, you were playing a guessing game in munich, and livonia was open for convoy. No, he had that win down pact.

Thank you Jmo.

Nothing wrong with Tri-Tyr, Alb-Tri. If it all bounced, that'd keep piedmont occupied. The battle would be decided in Italy. Tunis was going to France, sure, so as long as Italy recognized that, I think you could have been held off. I'd have to look again to confirm. (On my mobile now. Might check later tonight.)
