20 Sep 17 UTC	Spring, 1901: GameMaster: Please remember that negotiations before the game begins are not allowed.
20 Sep 17 UTC	Spring, 1901: Info: This is a choose your country game.
20 Sep 17 UTC	Spring, 1901: Good luck!
20 Sep 17 UTC	Spring, 1901: You too!
20 Sep 17 UTC	GameMaster: Austria 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.
20 Sep 17 UTC	Well done. I couldn't hold on to any of those three centres. I should have had some more units at the front I think. Nice save!
20 Sep 17 UTC	Thank you, this was hard-fought. I agree with your assessment about what went wrong. Tunisia, Berlin and Munich seem like the decisive centers. From limited recent experience with this format, whoever wins Germany wins the game.
20 Sep 17 UTC	Will you vote Draw? I think we are stuck at 17 each.
20 Sep 17 UTC	I hate to be the bearer of bad news for you, but we are not. I am going to capture the remaining centers on my side of the line and build only fleets. I will continue holding my side of the line until I can move the newly-built fleets into Gulf of Bothnia and Barents Sea, whereupon I will be able to order the following moves: F Barents -> St. Petersburg F Sweden -> Finland F Gulf of Bothnia S F Sweden -> Finland F Norway -> St. Petersburg F Barents Sea S F Norway -> St. Petersburg F Finland S F Norway -> St. Petersburg F Gulf of Bothnia S F Norway -> St. Petersburg Unless I misorder, no aspect of this sequence should be stoppable from your side. I didn't want to mention it earlier because I felt it unsporting (as it's your responsibility to yourself, if you're playing to win, to make me execute all these moves without error), but I want to avoid the appearance of unnecessarily prolonging a stalled game, so I'm explaining it now.
20 Sep 17 UTC	Oh yeah, I forgot about StP.
20 Sep 17 UTC	GameMaster: Austria voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes Concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Conceede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat.
20 Sep 17 UTC	kaner406 (Moderator): game uncrashed. Not sure why it did this.
20 Sep 17 UTC	This game is not a draw.
20 Sep 17 UTC	Thanks! But it should be a win to France. :(
20 Sep 17 UTC	I'll drop a line to the mods.
20 Sep 17 UTC	kaner406 (Moderator): I've drawn this game because for some reason it was triggering an error message after I unchrashed it - not sure why the concede button wasn't working, but I'll bring this to Oli's attention because he's doing some behind the scene work updating the code.
20 Sep 17 UTC	It crashed when I conceded, so it should be a French win. I've been in a game before that crashed when a concede happened. Can I be re-opened and I will lose in a more elegant way?
20 Sep 17 UTC	Ahh ok. Sorry for my terse response. Hope everything is ok with the code. Thanks for the very quick response and for digging into it further :)
20 Sep 17 UTC	I do not mind the end result on the site being a draw, if that would save some moderator work. It's clear enough from chat what was supposed to happen, and I'm sure Devonian will be able to accommodate the circumstances.
20 Sep 17 UTC	For history's sake... I hereby notify. FRANCE WINS! FRANCE WINS! :-) Yeah, it could be a pain for the mods to re-open it. If you're OK with it, then we can let it rest.
