16 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1900: (Enriador): This game will end after Fall 1906. The country with most supply centers will be considered the winner. Points will be divided according to SCs held.
16 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1900: (Enriador): Pay special attention to the special rules of the variant!
16 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1900: Hi everyone
16 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1900: Hello! May we have a good game. =)
16 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1900: Hopefully there are no NMRs!
17 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1900: Hopefully! Though if we have to have a NMR it's better to get them now, so we can find a replacement.
17 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1900: Yay, no NMRs! =)
18 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1900: Good to see everybody's interested in the game!
21 Jun 18 UTC	Autumn, 1900: Will everyone please ready up?
28 Jun 18 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Another game of '1900' with an identical setup for those interested! http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=35331
28 Jun 18 UTC	Autumn, 1901: So I could get screwed with the worst country on the bd again? No they need to fix Turkey.
28 Jun 18 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Having moved Venice to Milan there's no reason for Itay & Austria to ever disagree. Turkey is always going to be out in the cold.
28 Jun 18 UTC	Autumn, 1901: "fix Turkey"? Turkey has a better performance record than Classic's Italy or Austria, on-par with Classic's Germany. It's statiscally the "worst" country in '1900', but: 1) It's pretty close in score to the average (far more than Classic anyway). "In a census of 304 full press '1900' games (email and web), if you score those games using old-school DSS (what you all call WTA), the overall percentages of points won by each power: AH 13.2% BR 14.1% FR 12.8% GE 21.1% IT 15.2% RU 13.1% TU 10.2%" 2) Historically, Turkey was the worst country - and someone has to be last, right? You have to be a good diplomat to get out of your corner! 3) The dynamics of '1900' are different from Classic. Italy & Austria (and Turkey) are no longer on the same sphere. In Classic, you have West (Germany, France, England, Russia) and East (Austria, Italy, Turkey, Russia). Here in '1900' the spheres changed: we have West (Britain, France, Italy, Germany) and East (Austria, Turkey, Russia, Germany). Did you notice how Italy is now focused on the West, rather than the East? If you want someone to hit Austria, you need Germany/Russia, not Italy. I assume you are a new player, and you just played/saw one game of '1900'. Perhaps you should try it a bit more before suggesting a power needs a "fix"?

30 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1902: Come join a game of Canton! http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=35340
02 Jul 18 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Will everyone ready up please?
12 Jul 18 UTC	Autumn, 1903: GameMaster: Someone has taken over Italy replacing "cooleniek". Reconsider your alliances.
12 Jul 18 UTC	Autumn, 1903: A new king rises in Italy! Welcome, whoever you are.
13 Jul 18 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Welcome, new Italy!
14 Jul 18 UTC	Spring, 1904: Quick question: How does Russia have 3 SCs but 4 units? Does it have to do with Siberia?
14 Jul 18 UTC	Spring, 1904: Yes.
