15 Nov 17 UTC	Autumn, 1904: GameMaster: Someone has taken over Germany replacing "v2macy". Reconsider your alliances.
16 Nov 17 UTC	Spring, 1905: GameMaster: Someone has taken over Austria replacing "diplo1v". Reconsider your alliances.
13 Dec 17 UTC	Well done GOD.
13 Dec 17 UTC	Lucky, I'm survived. Congratulations, England.
13 Dec 17 UTC	gg England. Too bad I took over an Austria with 2 centers.
13 Dec 17 UTC	Yeah, from 1908 on I kind of just rushed it...didn't see that Germany was being eaten up from behind by Austria too :D
13 Dec 17 UTC	I was escaping persecution at the hands of those irredentist Italians.
13 Dec 17 UTC	I was protecting Austrian territory from the Turks. Always happy to help.
13 Dec 17 UTC	What a horrible game this was for me. It's always some sort of gamble to take over a CD in FoW, but to start with 4 British units in direct striking position of Denmark (in Skaggerack, North Sea, Heligoland and Denmark) and 2 french units in Picardy and Burgundy was really signing up for a death sentence. I managed to call GOD's moves quite well in the first few phases, being able to hold him off from getting solid ground on the European mainland. Yet, then France made a crucial mistake in Autumn 1907 when he supported himself into Belgium rather than going after London. At the same time, Austria made me his Nuclear option. First of all taking Munich for survival, which I tolerated by not trying to recapture it. Yet, then Austria grabbed Berlin for absolutely no reason and I had been pretty much fucked by all my neighbours. That's also when I decided to make France my nuclear target and let England do whatever he wanted to do. Congratulations GOD, on a solid victory. Yet, you should be grateful to France and Austria on how they handled me while I was the only power making a fist against you ;-)
13 Dec 17 UTC	Denmark is supposed to be Sweden in the first paragraph*
13 Dec 17 UTC	Taking Berlin definitely didn't help you. I was just trying to force the game to an earlier conclusion (and I still had an army in Albania that lasted an extra year against Italy). At some point, I don't care about the puntos for taking over a CD. But if the game ends quickly, it inceases your reliability regardless. Trying to make up for the NMRs when I first started on the site.
13 Dec 17 UTC	I don't understand your calculation. Since when to faster games give you a better RR? That wouldn't make any sense at all with all the different variants here...
14 Dec 17 UTC	For my PoV : Battle with German and then with Italy opened my soft end against England stab. And German is right, I was better off taking London rather than support myself to Bel, but at that time, I was thinking to not taking more opponents since I have already embroiled with 2 opponents at that time.
14 Dec 17 UTC	Taking over CDs increases the max number of games you can play at any one time permanently. But playing as a 2 center Austria getting demolished isn't particularly fun. So end that game and move to the next; I'm not issuing actively bad orders but having a little fun with it. RR-wise, the only way to improve it is to increase the denominator of turns finished and games finished. Games finished is much harder to get quickly unless you're actively throwing (but that kinda defeats the purpose) or taking over CDs in a hopeless position.
