01 Oct 21 UTC Spring, 1896: 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.
08 Oct 21 UTC Autumn, 1897: GameMaster: Russia voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Concede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat.
12 Oct 21 UTC GG everyone! Well played France and thanks to Russia for being a great ally!
13 Oct 21 UTC GG everyone! Sorry for turning on you Russia, but it's the thing about PPSC games.
13 Oct 21 UTC Gg all!
13 Oct 21 UTC Gg france. Since everybody wanted to kill me you were my ticket to survival.

@Britain: while I understand why you might have wanted to attack me early game, at some point you really should have stopped (same goes for Russia and japan). you effectively got 2 centers out of me, it bound a shitload of your units and it prevented me from working with the rest of you guys towards a draw - which, with my inclusion, i would have preferred. Speaking of Russia: good ally? That guy NMRed 3 or 4 times, did preciously nothing to prevent a french victory and was too focused on fighting me (admittedly he did a good job exploiting my bad move choices :)
13 Oct 21 UTC GG all!

@China, yeah thanks for not invading me, I’m glad you got a survive out of it.

@Germany, solid ally, sorry about the last minute stab but i foresaw Japan giving me real trouble if the game went on longer.

@Italy, had you decided to go after Russia instead of Germany I wouldn’t have fought you, I needed the German fleets in the pacific and Indian Ocean to help me out.
13 Oct 21 UTC Huh, I thought PPSC only mattered in a draw. Oh well.
The NMRs were due to me being busy in Uni, I'm sorry and all but real life is more important.
How the everliving hell was I supposed to prevent a French victory? I didn't attack Germany precisely so they could go after France, I left Britain alone once they got into the fight with France.
In China it was either defend the Sinkiang-Peking line or defend Kash-Urumqi-Mongol-Qiqihar-Muk. Guess which one takes up less units?
Anyway, GG, France played well.
13 Oct 21 UTC I think China is saying Russia should have stopped attacking them so China could attack me, but in a gunboat it’s really hard to disengage in that way
13 Oct 21 UTC it was more difficult for russia to disengage as we were at war from the start (though initially i didnt want to go beyond mongolia and port arthur), but britain definitely should have. for japan it probably didn't matter, as i was useless with the others attacking me
13 Oct 21 UTC You were allied to France the whole game as far as I can tell. It was fair to assume you'd continue being their loyal ally, like Germany was.
13 Oct 21 UTC In the first year i tried to sneak into TON. And had britain not attacked canton, signaling thereby that he wants war with me, i would have focused my southern efforts on expelling France from southeast asia. However, the decision was taken away from me. Britain was against me, France was against Britain, so i had no choice but to go with France in the region. But i still would have preferred a draw with me in it - or france winning if people are hellbent on taking me out. and here we are :)
13 Oct 21 UTC Such is gunboat
