10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, the start of the battle: GameMaster: Please remember that negotiations before the game begins are not allowed.
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, the start of the battle: Info: This is a choose your country game.
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, the start of the battle: Had a chuckle when i read the name of the game.
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, the start of the battle: BobRosscommended was too long ;)
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, half an hour after the start of the battle: Doc you want to extend the phase for your trip?
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, half an hour after the start of the battle: How are you actually gonna go about the FoW games if you're going to be gone for good part of the weekend?
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour after the start of the battle: Usually the timing works out so that I can save orders for a turn that happens when I'm gone, and then I'll have 2 days before the next turn. I'll be PMing the players to see if they are willing to extend by a day if needed. You OK with that?
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour after the start of the battle: Or maybe it's easier if you just concede?
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour after the start of the battle: Sounds good to me. I'd rather wait a few days than to see a NMR take place (both in this game as in the FoW's ;-) ). You probably know what timeframe of phases will be necessary in order for you to be able to avoid such a situation
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour after the start of the battle: Hahah darn. now i "Sounds good to me"'d your proposal to concede.

I'm not the kind of diplomat that likes to make a deal he can't live up to.
10 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour after the start of the battle: Yeah...well....I think you just agreed to concede there. Tell you what, let's count that only for this game, and we'll finish the other. Deal?
11 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour and a half after the start of the battle: I'm gonna give it to you straight, i have no idea what i'm doing.
11 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour and a half after the start of the battle: As in, i have no idea what the most sensible moves are. It's really just chasing hexagons with thick blue lines and hoping to do it in an advantageous order.
11 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour and a half after the start of the battle: That makes us pretty much even in this :)

I'll save my orders here, which will ensure no NMRs.
11 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour and a half after the start of the battle: Sure thing, enjoy your trip doc!
11 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour and a half after the start of the battle: Thanks. I'm going to be very sore, very soon! Got about 20 miles of hiking ahead, through loose basalt and pumice fields, going up and down between 5000 and 8000 feet. Going to be painfully glorious :)
11 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour and a half after the start of the battle: Sounds like you're partaking in the most pure of saga's: Man versus Nature.

In any case, count me jealous as it's impossible to even ascend to any heights, living in perhaps the flattest country on earth haha.
11 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour and a half after the start of the battle: Let me correct that: Just found out Jamaica, Qatar and the Maldives have even less to offer, i shall not take our precious hills for granted.
11 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 1 hour and a half after the start of the battle: Haha. Where are you, again? Did you say you are Dutch?
14 Aug 17 UTC 7 October 1571, 2 hours and a half after the start of the battle: Thanks for your patience, I'm fully back now.
