04 Oct 21 UTC	Autumn, 1863: gopher27 (Moderator): Greetings, A player in this game has had a real life obligation pop up. The game is being delayed for 5 days given the lack of messaging to coordinate this process yourselves. Hit "ready" when people want to bypass this extension. Have a pleasant week. Best, The Mod Team

17 May 22 UTC	[Russia]:gg everyone! I took over Russia in an open position several years ago after there was already a Russia-Austria alliance. CSA, sorry about those attacks on your couple of units in Ireland/UK--I just wanted a border that was easier to defend in case there were major changes. Austria, glad we didn't have any conflict in the period after I took over.
17 May 22 UTC	[Mexico]:GG!
17 May 22 UTC	[CSA]:GG! Sorry to Mexico, I tried to attack France and Japan across the ocean, but I failed. Southward expansion became the only option. Sorry to France.When I retreated from the east coast of the Atlantic for the first time, I tried to keep peace with France, and persisted for several years. But later France NMR several times and Holland was attacking west Africa, I must stop Holland from winning by myself. Happy cooperatioin with Russia, Austria, Brazil and Japan, you all have a strong view of the big picture. Congratulations to Holland for winning the firsr place, good job.
17 May 22 UTC	[Holland]:GG all! Sorry about attacking you Japan, but I just had to see if a solo was possible :) Was hoping to help CSA knock out Brazil, but obviously that wasn't happening.
17 May 22 UTC	[Britain]:Well this one was frustrating. I apologize for the NMRs, but my interest in this was sapped almost immediately by every single power other than Russia and Turkey either attacking me or not helping me. Not an excuse, but I don't think much of anything would've changed had I made those two turns. But, uhh, yeah was real confused why Germany didn't help me against France. Tried my best as I was dying to cause problems for Holland and France, but the rest of the board just never seemed interested in fighting either one of them in their main theatres. Really weird. Well, let this be a lesson to everyone - don't let the Indian Ocean fall under one person's control that quickly. If there is no Britain to fight Holland (or vice verse) someone is going to run away with the game.
17 May 22 UTC	[Britain]:Also, Holland - if in Autumn 1869 you had gone OKN-CMN, I'm pretty sure you would've solo'd the game.
17 May 22 UTC	[Japan]:My game was just trying to survive Hollands stab haha. Which I didnt expect at that exact turn. Glad I made it. I think Holland could have breaked through my line in China and really didnt try that hard. But better for me eventually. Thanks to CSA for letting me reorient my forces and not taking advantage of the situation. Trying to solo would be very risky for you but possible nevertheless.
17 May 22 UTC	[Britain]:Japan - I looked into it as well because I thought that too. Holland could've taken the first "layer" of your defense. Essentially every space you have that currently borders one of Holland's units. But I'm pretty sure there's a line after that.
17 May 22 UTC	[Holland]:@Britain, yeah looking back that could have done it for me. But it is one of those things that is really just hard to tell at this point.
