03 Feb 21 UTC | Spring, 1999: GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders. |
05 Feb 21 UTC | Autumn, 1999: GameMaster: Someone has taken over Quebec replacing "James?". Reconsider your alliances. |
10 Mar 21 UTC | Spring, 2009: GameMaster: California 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 Mar 21 UTC | Congrats everyone on a great game! Special shout out to Mexico for being an enduring ally - great job “communicating” for a gunboat game, and anticipating each others’ moves! And good work New York as a strong adversary and earning the Board Top! One thing I couldn’t figure out: Mexico, why were you hesitant to attack California during the last few years? NY was still a long way from the solo (34 SCs), I think we could’ve culled Cali without giving NY too much of an opening |
29 Mar 21 UTC | It was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed how we communicated moves, although I didn't catch on to looking at the failed orders list for a while. I worried that if I took San Diego or Los Angeles then California would've disbanded their armies. Given no threat from the west, I figured New York would have moved on the north faster. I suspect we could have taken San Fran, Los Angeles, and San Diego but might have lost Washington and Oregon. I also hoped that based on California's move in Autumn, 2011, that they would send more of their fleets to fight New York in the North, I might have misread that move. Admittedly, it's been a long time since I've played Diplomacy so it might have been a naive move. |
29 Mar 21 UTC | GG all! Always glad to sub in |
29 Mar 21 UTC | Good Game all |
29 Mar 21 UTC | With Columbia attacking me with all his forces and the time it took to defeat him, Peru and Mexico were at my doors... And I was blocked during the full game. NT defeated Quebec faster and I expected Peru or Mexico to release their pressure but it never came. Given Heartland refused to cooperate, I had nothing to do but wait to see how would get rid of me. Among Mexico, NY and Peru, Mexico seemed the more loyal and less greedy. I played in such a way that I defended against Peru and NY and was offering him a situation in which he could take a max of Columbia, that way giving him an opportunity to solo. NY could not hold if he had decided to move North (and after that achieving me). [The loss of Anchorage was a mistake, as well as the terrible loss of Arizona sooner in the game.] I expected NY and Peru would not take the risk to leave the whole cake to Mexico, or Mexico would be smart enough not to keep me in the game... |
29 Mar 21 UTC | *to keep me or not to get rid of me... :-) |
29 Mar 21 UTC | Gg all. Nice to see a 4 players draw. |
29 Mar 21 UTC | GG all, quite amazing team work between Peru and Mexico! No hard feelings Cali, both of them already had such a strong foothold/alliance, only could try expanding your direction. And sorry to NY, tried to keep our alliance to stop Peru, but had to start going for your SCs once I knew there was no hope. |
29 Mar 21 UTC | Florida* not NY haha |
29 Mar 21 UTC | No problem. Thats the game. I try only to not menace Cuba so he can had a chance against Peru, but he was defeated early than I though. |
