Well ? basically I was bored and since this Game 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.

Signed Up:

England: Kasunagi-no-Tsurugi
France: Naut

Aw yeah. Time to do this.

I'll take England this time.

Won't be joining but boy this looks interesting. Does it have to be Europe though?

Serp · « **Reply #6 on:** March 29, 2011, 01:39:17 AM »

Awesome, put me in as Norway.

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:

Or The Discworld what we already played.

Yonowaaru · « **Reply #8 on:** March 29, 2011, 01:48:22 PM »

Hmm.. I've never played this before, but it has to be the first time sometime, right?
I'll be Italy, rule it better than Berlusconi is :V

Conqueror · « **Reply #9 on:** March 29, 2011, 05:27:53 PM »

I played this game once. I got backstabbed by all three of my allies. And then they declared a three-way tie after wiping me off the map. :V

In as Austria, I suppose?

Schezo · « **Reply #10 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:56:32 PM »

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

Dorian White · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2011, 01:25:00 PM »

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!)

Shadoweh · « **Reply #12 on:** March 30, 2011, 01:29:04 PM »

So you are taking one more? This looks kinda like Risk. Seeing as I follow Anti-Lurker Hitler I'll take Germany.
Hey Schezo, DollS, let's team up and kill Conqueror then declare peace.

Naut · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2011, 01:37:05 PM »

Than I shall be France (which is what I wanted anyway :V ).

Dorian White · « **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2011, 01:57:38 PM »

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 to collect all game PMs for a better archiving of the games course, any suggestions how to do this?

Conqueror · « **Reply #15 on:** March 31, 2011, 11:11:43 AM »

Perhaps we could voluntarily consolidate all PM's at game's end?

Yonowaaru · « **Reply #16 on:** March 31, 2011, 01:07:43 PM »

That seems like the easiest solution. I wouldn't know how else it would work..

Dorian White · « **Reply #17 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.

Schezo · « **Reply #18 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.

Shadoweh · « **Reply #22 on:** April 05, 2011, 04:12:59 PM »

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

Dorian White · « **Reply #23 on:** April 05, 2011, 04:29:57 PM »

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

Conqueror · « **Reply #24 on:** April 05, 2011, 04:54:34 PM »

Just for clarification, can we communicate during the retreat phase or the Winter season?

Edit: Ah, never mind, guess not. Spoiled by webDiplomacy. :V

Linked rulebook says we can't. ;_;

Unless the game mod says otherwise?

Hmm.. That's indeed kinda weird.. Well, if it's in the rulebook...

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.

PX · « **Reply #29 on:** April 05, 2011, 11:38:02 PM »

So we come up with which units to create now? Or are they created in the Spring phase?
