11 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1860: (Adnarel): Don't sign up unless you intend to honor the DMZ unconditionally.
13 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1860: game on, I will do the DMZ's, should be fun
13 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1860: Awesome. It improves the map immensely, I promise. Good luck!
13 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1860: I'm game for it
14 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1863: Lake Michigan harassment fleet is best fleet.
14 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1864: yeh I hate that damn thing
14 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1864: Oh, shit. I'm sorry, that was a misclick into Chesapeake. I'll withdraw immediately.
14 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1864: thanks, we'll be fine, just move back, it's good
14 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1865: It will be doing no SH or SM. Consider it invisible this turn.
14 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1865: Shit. Our first retreat phase of the game.
15 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1866: I did not see you in Anchorage. =I
15 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1866: it's colored blue!
15 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1866: I am not a clever man.
15 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1866: going to have to not finalize here as I have a busy weekend, sorry
15 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1866: That's fine. Have a good weekend.
19 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1869: I'm appealing what I feel is an unfounded metagaming ban. If I suddenly disappear, the appeal has been denied. Just FYI.
19 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1869: oh, sorry to hear
19 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1869: Meh. I metagamed once, in ignorance. But that's no excuse, so I accept that. This time around, I think somebody may have gotten butthurt and flagged me.
19 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1869: whaddya mean, you metagamed? i won't say anything and obviously you are a good player ... just curious
19 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1869: In a previous WWIV I died almost at once... New York wanted a share of my territories, but I wanted to give them to Quebec, since I knew Quebec from elsewhere. That was when I was pretty new to the site, and did not know that such practices are quickly bannable. I got a come-to-Jesus talk from a mod, and set off with the earnest intention to not metagame again. Well, now in this new game I've apparently been accused by somebody and found guilty. It's frustrating, because by my interpretation of the rule (no alliances based on familiarity) I've not infracted upon it. Yes, I know a guy in a game. But we've been everything between non-aggressive and hostile in the game so far, and none of it was based on the fact that I know him. So I really don't get why I'm guilty of metagaming. Once the mod gets back to me, I'll present my organized case to him and see what he thinks. I admit that the first situation with Quebec and New York in the first infraction was legit; and ignorance is no excuse. But this second offense - which is having me face a ban - I just can't take lying down. We'll see. Because you're right: I am a halfway decent player and I don't need to metagame to do it.
