02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: (omnomnom): You'll be wanting to attack the Caliphates, then, Crusader?
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: (Holy_Crusader2113): Yes and claim the holy land!
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: (omnomnom): And I will laugh when you get Denmark or Norge.
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: (omnomnom): That, or the caliphates themselves.
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: (Holy_Crusader2113): I will cut a clear path to the holy land none will face me or feel the wrath of God.
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: (The Rook): Pretty sure Urban II hasn't called the crusades yet.
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: (Holy_Crusader2113): That's what they need a crusades varient.
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: wow does this variant hate me!!!!! lol, I've played it twice, both times I've been Sverige
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: I am honestly sort of wondering the equality of this map. Some of the countries look screwed from the start.
02 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: http://vdiplomacy.com/stats.php?variantID=63
here's the variant stats, Burgundy is actually a lot better than it looks, at lest statistically
03 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: Oh I was talking about countries like Danmark.
03 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: i've only played this map once before but i managed a 4-way draw as Danmark. its all how u play the game.
03 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: I'm not saying impossible for Danmark to win. I meant it really isn't a fair game for him.
03 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: hmm turns out Danmark is one of the better countries 5 solos, that's tied for second
03 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: nice. and now that i think about it i don't think i drew i think i just survived and the Arab took the solo.
03 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 951: But all of them have big weaknesses, it's a good map in that respect. It's impossible to hope to preserve all of your territory - you have to calculate what you can afford to lose.
03 Apr 12 UTC Autumn, 951: so this whole, people who know each other in Real Life playing in the same game, but not telling anyone. is that a pretty common thing at VDip? i've played other sites where it was common curtsey to let everyone know from the get go that u have a personal relationship w/ another player. i'm in no way accusing anyone of Meta-Gaming. but there are (at least) 2 sets of "RL" friends playing this game (and i'm not outing them). what are the odds? and yes i know b4 anyone tells me, i can play and anonymous game.

but seriously, does this kinda thing happen a lot? what are your opinions?
03 Apr 12 UTC Autumn, 951: It does but it is fine as long as they play with them just like they do with anybody else.
09 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 953: Sorry, I'm going on holiday tomorrow - if I leave now, while Danmark isn't in a totally hopeless position, do you reckon you can find someone to take over?
09 Apr 12 UTC Spring, 953: we should be able to if you message Oli about taking you out of the game so Danemark doesn't go into CD, but I'm sure everyone would be happy to pause for you
