Title: Diplomacy: New Game, New Thread and (maybe not so) New Host (completed)
Post by: Dorian White on March 28, 2011, 05:35:17 PM
Well ? basically I was bored and since this Game (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,6686.msg504442.html#msg504442) won't start any time soon I decided to start it myself. But with some a change: All countries are available from the beginning, I intend to play with 5-7 players the remaining countries will stay neutral, a full map would be nice but I don't share Serps optimism in that case. So much to the formalities, let's see who's interested.

I will put you were it fits if you don't mind, cause if we start like this our Doll Creator would be terrible lonely.^^

The game is designed to mimic the quite static battles of WWI so it's mostly Europa, but there are also other scenarios, for example:
Asia:
(http://b.imagehost.org/t/0525/Asia.jpg) (http://b.imagehost.org/view/0525/Asia)

Or The Discworld (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,7197.0.html) what we already played.

Hmm, I've never played this but something similar.  I'll read and try to get the rules the best I can and try to verify with mod what I don't get but I guess I'll in as Russia.

I would choose those crazy Germans but they look like they'll be raped by everyone around them. :V

Only one spot left, time for a before we begin announcement:

You are free to use any kind of communication to negotiate with other player but orders shall only PMed to me, you will have 72 hours to send me your orders for a moving turn (spring and fall), 48 hours for the build turn (winter) and 24 hours for the retreat phase. Last time I said things like ?I will  not be so forgiving about the deadline? or ?don't expect me to spent much time on fixing mistakes or incomplete orders? and I end up doing exactly this, I hope that it will not be necessary this time, well we will see. Also if you don't send in orders for more then 2 turns your country falls in to civil disorder and turn neutral.
So If you have any question to ask, suggestions to make or if you just want to tell me what a lazy jerk I am, feel free to PM me or find me on IRC* #scarlet-library on irc.ppirc.net

I think that was it.

*if you are in a compatible time zone (Watch out! Enemy agents are everywhere!)

Excellent, now that everything is said and done we can begin.
The deadline for first turn Spring 1901 AD will be 2.4. at 1:59pm/13:59 GMT, If I'm not mistaken. Have a nice game and Good luck!


PS:
There was the idea (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,6686.msg507378.html#msg507378) to collect all game PMs for a better archiving of the games course, any suggestions how to do this?
Title: Re: Diplomacy: New Game, New Thread and (maybe not so) New Host
Post by: Conqueror on March 31, 2011, 11:11:43 AM
Perhaps we could voluntarily consolidate all PM's at game's end?
Title: Re: Diplomacy: New Game, New Thread and (maybe not so) New Host
Post by: Yonowaaru on March 31, 2011, 01:07:43 PM
That seems like the easiest solution. I wouldn't know how else it would work..
Title: Re: Diplomacy: New Game, New Thread and (maybe not so) New Host
Post by: Dorian White on March 31, 2011, 02:59:31 PM
You mean that you save all your PMs and send them to me, after the game ends, to sort things out?
Sounds like a lot of work for me, but manageable so I'm fine with it.

Post by: Schezo on March 31, 2011, 03:11:43 PM
I dont know. I was going to keep a text file with times dates and names as my records because keeping all these PM's might get messy.

Can you not take over provinces without supply centers? I thought they would still count for game winning purposes.

No, only supply centers counts for victory, and the requirement on this map lies by 20  supply centers.

The rule book says the there shouldn't be any communication during a retreat phase or winter turn but the book assumed here that we all siting around a table, so communicate as much as you want.

How does supporting a support action work? Do both units count as supported for holding?
Title: Re: Diplomacy: New Game, New Thread and (maybe not so) New Host
Post by: Dorian White on April 11, 2011, 11:16:23 AM
When a supporting unit is under attack the support turns in to a hold order, so it is the easiest solution if you don't know which area will be attacked.

Deadline for Winter 1902 AD will be on 16.4. at 3pm/15:00 GMT.

PS. For clarification:
I've to confess that I misunderstood the map as default with just a few additional regions and supply centers, and interpreted such as Cordoba - North Africa as similar to Denmark - Sweden, only after I reread the variant description I found this modifications:
Quote from: Difficult Passable Borders
Passage between Cordoba and North Africa and passage between Naples and Sicily is allowed by armies.  However, such a move is made with a force equal to the number of supports (as opposed to one plus the number of supports).  Note that fleets may not make this move and support cannot be given in this fashion.  This form of movement is treated very much like convoyed movement by the adjudicator.  An unsupported unit will have no effect whatsoever on the destination province for the purposes of cutting support or banning retreats.
Quote from: Icy Seas (Arctic Ocean)
An extra space is inserted on the north end of the map called the Arctic Ocean.  A unit in the Arctic Ocean may not be given any sort of orders durning a fall turn.  No unit may attempt to move into the Arctic Ocean during a fall turn.  The Arctic Ocean is adjacent to the North Atlantic, Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea and Siberia.

I'm awfully sorry that I didn't noticed/said that earlier, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. :ohdear:

Anyway, since I'm doing to go down soon, here's a prediction for who'll win!

Germany. Why Germany? Because it has been gaining ground and the countries who are surrounding it that can put pressure is either a) Too busy with someone else or b) In an Alliances with Germany.

That would be correct if there wouldn't be a exception.

Quote from: From the Rulebook
Support is cut if the unit giving support is attacked from any province except the one where support is being given. The support is cut whether this attack on the supporting unit succeeds or not.

(http://i53.tinypic.com/zj6mm8.jpg)

In Diagram 16, the German support isn?t cut by the attack from Warsaw because that is the province into which support is being given. To cut support, the Army in Warsaw would have to dislodge the Army in Silesia, not merely attack it.

How about next time, use quicktopics instead of PMs? :D

Not that we used it much, the most poster in our one is me talking to what is apparently air :V

QTs are good use if your planning a permanent alliance with someone but yeah, not good for general use.

Also, Kasunagi. You should learn to predict better :D That's how my one fleet messed around with you. And probably be a little bit more aggressive.

Do I seriously have to?
Because.. I have like.. over 100 PM's ;-;
Oh dear! :ohdear:

I think it'd make a nice narrative, with all the behind-the-scenes manipulation. And it'll also teach people what not to say if they don't want to get stabbed. >_>

I'll probably pastebin it, yeah.

Edit: What would really be nice is if we could put together one large chronological file with all correspondence. But that would take an inordinate amount of effort, so.
I think it's simply impossible to bring all conversations into one file without killing the context, let alone chronological. Well I need to view the material fist, before we can decide what to do with it.

Well, in theory, Italy might decide not to go into that gentle good night, so we probably shouldn't count the game over yet.
Of course, a declared victory has the same requirement as a draw, unanimity that includes Schezo as well.

About QT: Pesco also suggested it for that purpose, but I didn't found the time to look into it so I'm not sure how it's supposed to work.

Thank God I've only documented up to 1903. I put everything in an easy to read note pad everything sent to me and everything I sent because really, dumping 800+ messages on the mod sounds like bullshit.

Dorian: I like that thing you gave me and I would be more than willing to run the next game whenever you guys are ready.

You see, the point was to save the messages you sent not the one you received. Well shit happens, but I would prefer that you say that yourself in the thread.

:V Yeah, I forgot to save my sent messages....not that there's much. All the messages I sent and received is like, under 30......

I mean if all the players but Shadoweh, Conqueror and myself forfeit.  In that case, the three of us could declare a draw.

So now that I have Yonowaaru agreement I call the game officially over with a declared victory of Germany, Austria and Norway, congratulation!

And to the mess that's supposed to be a game documentation, it's already foreseeable that it will have a lot of holes in it so I wonder how much I can do with it, well we'll see about that. However if you've a Pastebin just PM me the link or post it here, what you prefer.

Did I forgot anything?

\o/ VICTORY FOR SYLVANIS AND MY LORD ANTI-LURKER CARTHRAT!

I think as long as the post times are included people can compare. And again IRC is a good way to have long logs of what happen in the future, better then 65 Quicktopics ^^

Anyways, I'm really surprised how that turned out. I think it's funny I hopped in to choose Germany at the last minute >.> I decided two things at the start of the game: I was going to destroy one place no matter what (Russia) and I was going to ally with one place unless he tried to keel me (Austria). I let people come to me first to see what they wanted, then approached people to say I would totally leave them alone because people like peace treaties for some reason. I was deeply amused by how England and France were too busy attacking each other to grow and let me take all the way to Belgium.

I originally couldn't decide if I wanted to go with Norway or Russia. Schezo really did send me the most adorable message and I was thinking about just ignoring the east completely. I blame everything on my horrible, horrible allies who went behind my back to tell him about my wishes for furry hats and Prussian dancers. Oh well, Norway was more convenient for my eventual takeover plans anyways. It was totally my decision. Yes.

Only really trust countries that are not next to you, the whole point of diplomacy is backstabbing. Backstabbing and surprise of course, you should try to be less obvious in your backstabbing Schezo. Oh and really think of your priorities, an army instead of a navy could have really helped you in the north.
Why, I'm not annoyed by it at all :V

Alright, entire correspondence from me to other people has been pastebin'd. I'm assuming PMs to me will be posted later by others.

Alright, so my basic strat this game was to buddy up to obvtown Germany, set up a DMZ with Italy, and play Russia and Turkey off of each other until I found someone that I could trust. Turkey insisted on Greece on the very first turn, so I backstabbed him (sorry!). After that I pretty much had to court Russia's support in invading Turkey, so I leaked Norway and Germany's invasion plans to Russia to give me townie points. That alone wouldn't do me any good, so I fed Germany a few lines about a joint Russia-Norway invasion (which Schezo had hinted at earlier). Germany was a better long-term ally though, so I didn't keep that up for long. Anyway, this bought me enough time for Russia to help me cut Turkey down to size, and in the end when Germany wanted to finish off Russia I wanted to let Russia keep a few territories a little longer, at the very least out of gratitude.  :3 Then all we had to do was attack Italy (with a fleet I had said was heading towards Turkey or Spain) and then...the game ended and I didn't actually get to carry out my plans of conquest. But it was fun and Germany was a good ally.  :)

Hey Doll, how much do you want Sevastopol? I know you don't trust me, but I have a plan that depends entirely on your actions, so you don't have to worry about me messing it up. Suffice to say that I have evidence that Russia is planning on backstabbing you in the near future, and by doing this, you snipe his actions in the bud before they can do any damage. (Russia is also about to be attacked from two other fronts, so you might want to grab territory before Norway and Germany do). As a bonus, this will strengthen your position against mine - I don't gain anything from this personally.
 
So here is the important part. Your fleet in the Black Sea should move into Sevestopol. Now you may ask, how will you be sure Sevestopol will be empty for your fleet to move into? Well, your army in Bulgaria will support Russia's Sevestopol fleet into Rumania. Bulgaria itself will be supported by Constantinople.
 
Mind, I'm still going to be attacking you afterwards :P (not this turn, I have to take care of some border trouble first) but this is a little something that will help with the extra variables.

In any case, I just sent a sort of gambit to Turkey. It should help us take him down in the fall if he goes for it (unlikely, given our history).
Good luck with your Northern brothers. :P
