14 Jul 13 UTC Spring, 825: (The Ambassador): Ready to give this a go lads :-)
27 Jul 13 UTC Autumn, 831: GameMaster: Danes voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
30 Jul 13 UTC Sorry about prolonging that guys, I just wanted a 3-way not a 6-way draw.
31 Jul 13 UTC I would love a rematch. Thoughts?
31 Jul 13 UTC I'm just happy the Scotts got destroyed ;p
That initial stab by them screwed me from the start.
31 Jul 13 UTC Come on kaner, we all know the Scots were the good guys here. And it was hardly a stab. More a unprovoked attack from Day 1 ;-)

I was disappointed a little in the Danes killing me off when I'd helped him a bit, but hey, kind of what this game's all about.
31 Jul 13 UTC I'm up for a rematch. But only if its anonymous. So there's no hard feelings. :)
31 Jul 13 UTC Oh, I don't keep grudges Bretons. Every game is a different story for me. No hard feelings, it's a game!
Well... I'm SO happy you didn't win, though! :P
31 Jul 13 UTC Ok well then. Anyone want to do a rematch?
31 Jul 13 UTC Well, sorry about that, but he wouldn't draw with you in, so I figured I'd save us a lot of useless phases that way.
31 Jul 13 UTC Hmmm, I may pass. I have the feeling I was in 1 too many games.
31 Jul 13 UTC I've been the first putting down the draw vote, not actually because I was looking for a 6 way draw, but mostly for sending a further signal to Norse.



Benk,

you did well in going forward.
Sharing the draw among a minor number of players is universally seen as a good thing, as long as the solo isn't caused by this process.

If I were in your position, probably I should have tried to break through the defences of Danes+Norse... I don't think this was a mission impossible.

This was a gunboat, moreover... I was freaked by the idea that I didn't find a safe WEST vs EAST stalemate line.


Some of you guys (we have the variant developer here...) is willing to share possible stalemate lines in Dark Ages?
31 Jul 13 UTC Scapa Flow and Straits of Dover seem highly defensible
31 Jul 13 UTC I didn't really want to go for a solo and was happy with a 3-way draw. As for the stalemate lines, there don't seem to be any.
31 Jul 13 UTC http://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=15348 gunboat 901 anyone?
31 Jul 13 UTC http://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=15353 and a rematch for those who are interested
31 Jul 13 UTC Yes, Benk, I understood your intention not for trying to solo when I saw you offering to support Norse to Zetland.
