03 May 20 UTC Spring, 1905: @England, Germany and France. It is probably too late to stop the Russo-Turkish juggernaut heading our way but we should at least all stop squabbling and give them a fight. Message some suggested cooperative moves outside the Global tab...
04 May 20 UTC Autumn, 1905: My request fell on deaf ears! Enjoy your victory R/T.
04 May 20 UTC Autumn, 1905: Not necessarily. England did move into a more aggressive position. Taking HOL just makes sense if you take into account Germany is about to fall. Why not ensure it stays on the allied side and doesn't fall into the evil Russian Empire's hands?!! You, Italy, seem to have a decent position for stemming the tide coming from the east. But England hasn't enjoyed such a one direction scenario, he has had to deal with both Germany and France being hostile recently. Obviously he is trying to get some resources to be able to hold me back. My navy is still weak, so he does have a fairly good chance to do just that. If Turkey remains friendly though, I will probably be able to kick him off the continent. So, don't be so rough on him, your situation much better than his...
04 May 20 UTC Autumn, 1905: Sorry, Italy. Did not see this message until now. You have the Med covered, and though I could support, I have to keep diverting to stop England, who is attacking Germany and myself. They may be an ally of the Jug.
06 May 20 UTC Spring, 1906: England, didn’t want to respond separately, so posting this in Global. I am clearly the idiot because I already gave you the benefit of my doubts a couple of times. It cost me Paris and Brest. Now you offer me a threatening olive branch. Have you not heard about flies and honey?

Italy, look at the numbers. R/T already have this one. Can you find a stalemate line? It is hard for you to insist I cooperate with England while holding Marseilles. But I did attempt to move on you, so I find no fault with what you had to do. Plus, England has eight fleets to confront Russia’s four in the north. I foresee a three-way draw, with Marseilles being pink. But then again, what do I know. I actually believed England, . . . twice.
06 May 20 UTC Spring, 1906: The fleet situation is exactly what I pointed out to England when he was upset I built F STPnc. Really? I'm supposed to leave my north uncovered? He has been wishy-washy throughout the game, usually as a result of my builds, yet they have never proven dangerous to him. We could have had the north tied up and probably had you removed by now if he had just been an ally without the constant shifts back and forth.
06 May 20 UTC Spring, 1906: I hope we all look at this with some humor. It is just a game to have fun trying to outwit each other. And though I don’t trust England in this game, I do look forward to a future game where we might be great allies, with full confidence in each other. But for now, let’s bring it! ;)
06 May 20 UTC Spring, 1906: Exactly... I get that vibe from you, so I didn't think it would be a problem mentioning you would likely already be gone by now... if... ;-) We can't win every game. But we can have fun.
08 May 20 UTC Autumn, 1907: Good game, all. Hope to see you again as friend or foe. :)
15 May 20 UTC So when I created this match I went with Rulebook press because I had never used it before. Interested to hear everyone's feedback on this feature. I think I hate it, even if it does correspond to the original game rules.
16 May 20 UTC Ha! Yeah, I'm not a huge fan personally. Doesn't make the game more interesting for me personally and it's a bit annoying when I'm in the middle of a conversation with another player or already planning out next year's moves to have that gap. It's not a big deal, but it's not my preference.
16 May 20 UTC Not a fan either. Very annoying not to be able to talk for two rounds of fall retreat/builds. Doesn’t really add anything to the game experience for me.
16 May 20 UTC Agree with you both
16 May 20 UTC 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.
16 May 20 UTC My bad, may have made solo if I hadn’t jumped the gun. Good job circling the wagons! No sense dragging it out with y’all cooperating.
16 May 20 UTC GG all! That was fun!
16 May 20 UTC Well played Russia. You were unlucky as not many Russia players many get as far as Spain and don't win.
