22 Apr 21 UTC	Spring, 100BC: Hello everyone. Good luck!!
26 Apr 21 UTC	Spring, 100BC: [Ithsomn]:Good luck everybody
26 Apr 21 UTC	Spring, 100BC: [Shinto]:With 33% more armies than anyone else, I've clearly taken a commanding lead, you should all just concede! :-D
29 Apr 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: 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.

02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Ithsomn]:So it seems pink, yellow, and red all think that blue, purple and I are meta-gaming, I'd love to get your reactions on this. To me it's completely ridiculous, I've never meta-gamed and have never even considered it.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Payashk]:I agree it is ridiculous, I heard they think it's purple green and brown though?
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Payashk]:Red is the only one who has said anything to me, do the rest of you honestly think this?
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Namaq]:I think I am here to play Variant Diplomacy. I think I don't know anyone. I think I am going to make my game play decisions based on communication and follow-thru... It's like making an insight check in D&D. Sometimes, you roll a two and have a completely wrong read on a sitch... Sometimes you roll a 19 with an 18 WIS and proficiency for a 24. I am sure this analogy falls apart somewhere.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Ithsomn]:That's not an answer.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Payashk]:Just to clarify, as far as I can tell Oz is the only one who has specifically accused us of metagaming. Does anyone else believe we are metagaming? Or do the rest of you just think it's a possibility? Or do you think there's really no apparent reason for Oz to think that? I'd love to know anyone's opinion other than Oz's who has been very antagonistic toward me as soon as I refused him Yria.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Ithsomn]:Ah, I see, it's all about Yria
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Payashk]:I'm not saying that is Oz's reason, it's just a tad strange he's the one I heard from after he got upset about that, it doesn't explain why he accused you though.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Oz]:Lol, I was antagonistic towards you because you denied me Yria? Lol... read the messages again...this is Dip, I accept people lie as you lied. It was obvious - before the move - that you were promising falsely to me and to Namaq. I just don't think there is any point listening to more lies from you... is that antagonistic?
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Payashk]:Yes, that's antagonistic, and if you aren't mad over Yria, then you're mad for no reason which is worse. I told yellow I would not be supporting him to Yria in the fall, although I had told him I would in the spring, then my plans changed. The only reason I told you I would was to mess with you because you got on my nerves with your press. You obviously did not take me seriously, which was astute on your part. I still haven't heard a single good reason to accuse me of metagaming.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Payashk]:But what I really want is to hear from someone else, I know you think I'm metagaming even if I don't know why. What I want to know is do the other people you have claimed say they also think I'm metagaming actually believe that.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: GameMaster: Ithsomn voted for a Extend. If 2/3 of the active players vote Extend the the current phase will be extend by 4 days. Please consider backing this. If the majority is not reached by "Autumn, 99BC" the votes will be cleared.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Ithsomn]:In the mean time shall we extend instead of missing turns like idiots
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Payashk]:Sounds good to me.
02 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 100BC: [Shinto]:Why are we extending? If someone thinks there's cheating going on, let them report it and the mods can pause the game while they investigate. I'd prefer that to a hodge-podge of extends, missing orders and false accusations.
