13 Sep 19 UTC	Spring, 1908: GameMaster: Russia 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.
29 Oct 19 UTC	Thanks for an interesting game guys; a very difficult start with Turkey looking alarmingly powerful. The Italian intervention was critical in reversing the tide. Nice to be allied so effectively with the good Doctor, albeit briefly - I was genuinely aiming for a 17:17 draw, hence always building only armies... however either Italy mistook my selfless use of 3 units to wipe the last of Turkey or decided to stab in Autumn '13. Rather telegraphed by F(MAO)-WMS... But as insurance against this I had deferred a build in A' 12 so I could respond to a stab in the Levant effectively, without having to stop my drive on the Winter Palace. The last few years were also puzzling in that if England and Germany had stopped their bitter conflict and an English F moved to the Barents and a German Fleet in the Baltic they could easily have forced a stalemate position. I could not see the point of not taking England's exposed Lpl centre and continued Northern expansion - supporting Germany and wiping England would've been a much more productive strategy, surely.
29 Oct 19 UTC	Funny game. Good alliance Austria. I saw you building just armys and I liked it. In 1910 I thought it was an evil intention that i loose Smyrna. In the following years I tried desperate to finish off Turkey and it didnt work. I never want to attack you Austria but i saw that you sometimes prospone your units. And after I cant finish Turkey maybe you were a bit exasperated of mine? Its allways the same. I play the good allie and i am waiting for the stab of the other. And then i react but cant win anymore. I like my interaction with Sir Bobby Lotion. That was my validation if Austria attacks me. I am honest, i thought about it to kill England and maybe then I would have won this game. But i am hating stabbs at the moment. I am playing in peace love and harmony at the moment. Good game guys. Specia greetings to Austria and England.
29 Oct 19 UTC	sigh For once you had an ally who had no intention of stabbing you, but I couldn't let that game of whackamole with that last Turkish unit carry on otherwise it would continue to hold down 4 of our units!
29 Oct 19 UTC	Good game, congrats to Austria. Funny game indeed, and thanks for the cooperation Dr! I find it quite enjoyment when I’m able to find partners in gunboat. I was expecting a stab anytime, but figured I had to make myself as useful as possible. As for the Germany feud, there were no hard feelings. I wasn’t counting on Italy holding their SCs in the south, and thought eliminating Germany would expedite a draw. And admit it was fun having an enemy.
29 Oct 19 UTC	In the start I was hoping for some sort of cooperation with Germany, with my taking Sea and coastal areas while Germany took land areas. That plan went south real fast once German fleets started appearing.
29 Oct 19 UTC	Congrats Austria. Well played. Very wise to head straight into the Balkans at the beginning though that made early conflict between us two unfortunately unavoidable. When Italy finally entered the scene and optimistic me missing the chance to block them out of Eastern Med, the game was lost. But I am glad to hear that my desperate fight to survive still played some key role in avoiding a boring 2-way-draw. ;-)
