05 Apr 11 UTC Spring, 1870: well - I pulled France again... only everyone else has changed powers, am I right?
05 Apr 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Howdy Turkey, I've been waiting for their to be a Pere Joseph on this site to go with Cardinal Richelieu and Cardinal Mazarin.
05 Apr 11 UTC Spring, 1870: よもの海
みなはらからと思ふ世に

Yomo no umi
mina harakara to omofu yo ni
nado namikaze no tachi sawaguramu

The seas of the four directions—
all are born of one womb:
why, then, do the wind and waves rise in discord?


Peoples of Asia,

Arise from your national slumbers. Throw off the chains of alien colonial domination. The Empire of Japan represents a New Dawn in the East. We stand ready to lead you into a glorious era of Enlightened Rule. Place no trust in the round eyed devils. Turn away from their corrupting influence. Today, we announce the beginning of The Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. We hospitably welcome all of the peoples of Asia. In the new world we shall endeavor to create, you will each have a noble appointed role to pay.

High Chamberlain, on behalf of the Meiji-tenno.
05 Apr 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Just waiting for a Peter Mandelson now
06 Apr 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Wouldn't that be more like having a Count von Buol?
06 Apr 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Most likely. I haven't seen a Medici yet so we need a few more cunningingly named players
06 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1870: Jeez. Really? Again?
11 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: I give up. Once Turkey CDs, I think we should draw. The game will be irreparably broken after that.
11 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: agreed again, unfortuantely
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: Do we dare try a third time?
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: I've always wanted to try this variant, so yes for me.
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: 'struth! ok.
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: let's wait for Turkey to try to recover.
if not, we could pause and advertise for a replacement.
if not, I'll agree with the draw, no problem
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: But Turkey losing Egypt and not taking Rumania radically alters the game. Even if he "recovers" the game as it existed is over. Russia missing the first turn was pretty big, but this combined with it kind of ruins the game.
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: but nobody (not even myself) said anything when I lost the very first turn..
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: he makes a good point
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: I did
12 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: It shits me that whenever an interesting game gets going, some fool CDs
13 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: always happens at this site, in my experience, happens a lot in un-passworded games at webdip too
13 Apr 11 UTC Autumn, 1871: This game (players and variant pair) is just kind of cursed. I've rarely known Tadar to NMR. But in this game he did.
