Balance of Power (Sign Up/Rules/Commentary Thread)

[windjammer]

Well,
Just to say I'm sorry. I have made a big mistake and I assume all the consequences and I prefer to resign.
Sorry,
Windjammer

Thank you, Windjammer.

Look, you're an active part of this game and I certainly don't wish to see you resign. I think we easily can overcome these last incidents.

As of the debate that's been going on, I propose we'll suspend this, to cool off, and give this "war" a chance (after all, it's just one phase).

Sorry, but I prefer to stop. This game has made me more aggressive. And I don't plan to say something wrong again, I don't want to hurt someone anymore.

When something is wrong, it's better to stop completely rather than trying to appease a bit, and then making the same mistakes.

For AHU, even if I haven't posted the reforms, Lumine is personally aware of my reform. So I mean he calculate easily the results, and then make AHU no playable.

That's too bad.

Wasn't a person interested in playing as AHU?

Oh ****,
Well, I have forgotten butafly. Yep, he can replace me.

Yeah, AHU is too big to be left as non-playable.

[windjammer]

Well,
So I have posted the reforms, Lumine calculates the results of that, and Butafly becomes the AHU player?

[Lumine]

Well, I have already asked Butafly to take over next turn. The reforms could be posted as well, it's up to Butaly if he choses to make one or two changes once he takes over.

Can I have a little more time to do the French orders? After all I am commanding two countries each who have loads of moves each turn

Sure, I will wait until Saturday afternoon then!

How long does it take to write surrender notes?

He's probably pondering style

[free my dawg]

[Lumine]

I have all I need, phase two today and next turn in the late night today or tomorrow afternoon!

[Dr. Cynic]

I have to go on LOA from this game, guys. Sorry.

[Lumine]

Sad to hear that, for how long do you plan to be out?

To His Excellency: President Portfiro Diaz

For His Eyes Only: Intelligence Assessment of the Great War

Alemania:
Unless a major power joins the Entente or some of their allies decide to quit while they are ahead, it is difficult to see how Alemania will do any worse than a favorably negotiated peace.

Argentina:
It's odd that having declared war they haven't tried to take the Malvinas, or perhaps they tried but the news was bad enough for both sides they are both keeping quiet.

Brasil:
Unless Brasil is intent upon taking some of islands in the Caribbean or South Atlantic, it is difficult to see why it chose to attack both los franceses and los británicos.  Guayana Británica is only accessible to them by jungle or sea and Venezuela can't be happy to see land it has historically claimed slip out of its grasp.

La Estados Unidos:
Aside from the seizure of Canadá at the start of the war, the E.U. has done shockingly poorly considering they started the war.  The lack of maritime offensives and the pullback from Hawai suggests that either the E.U. has done far worse in the naval war than their propaganda would suggest or that they are planning for a major operation elsewhere.  In either case, it may well be that they would be willing to accept a token payment for both Clipperton Island and our former island possessions they acquired previously in this game, both for the money and to concentrate forces they have there elsewhere.  A discrete inquiry might be made provided it is not seen as any sort of "or else" proposal.  Whatever weaknesses the Yanqui Navy may be suffering from, there is no reason to doubt the Yanqui Army at present and that would is sufficient to cause us to tread carefully with them.

Francia:
They are only doing atrociously poorly on the alemán front, which unfortunately for them is the only one that matters.  They should be sending out feelers for a separate peace vis a vis alemania alone, but whether the alemanes and franceses can agree to terms is unknown, especially with the collapse of the French government and the policies of its replacement yet to be determined.

Gran Bretaña:
If the alemanes don't try to impose too harsh a peace on Francia, G.B. is likely to go along with it to free up resources to retake Canada.  Whether they try an invasion likely to be doomed or a blockade that may well succeed, any effort to reclaim Canada is likely going to have to be done at the negotiating table, and even then the best they are likely to achieve is a nominally independent Canada.

Italia:
Given how distracted their enemies are by other more important fronts than the Mediterranean, their seizure of Malta can hardly be considered a solace for the setbacks they've suffered elsewhere.

Japón
They cannot be happy at the course of the war so far.  The apparent collapse of the yanqui navy in the Pacific leaves them to shoulder the fight alone, with only distance and lack of resources on the part of their enemies giving them comfort.

Turquía:
While they have made some advances, it's difficult to see any major changes resulting whoever comes out on top in the Middle East.

So, I'll be on holiday from Tuesday, July the 1st until July the 8th or so. That time I won't be able to play...
Maybe one of my allies could take over Germany that time, Kal, Clarence or Sawx? I might be able to send orders for the next war turn, but certainly not for the following...

I think, due to it's being an European front, Sawx or Clarence would be in better position.

Yeah. Sawx, Clarence? Who of you wants to take over Germany for ten days?

[Cranberry]

Just to make it "official" now, Sawx and I have agreed that he takes over Germany during my LOA.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

My orders are coming later today. Sorry for delay.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Wife took me on a trip to the beach this weekend..........I am back now

[Lumine]

My orders are coming later today. Sorry for delay.

It's okay, I had a delay as well with the next turn, it should come today!

[windjammer]

So  Russia is recovering hmmmm, interesting.

[Spamage]

Writing the war moves along with answering my questions is taking a bit longer than expected, and my word just crashed ruining 30 min of work . Can I have until tomorrow evening?

Reports are reaching us here in Antwerp that unspecified agents are boasting about a successful plot to sabotage the carbon paper used by the British Ministry of War in a manner that has caused their typewriters to gum up and crash, leaving their paper a blue mess.  We've also heard that applying boot polish to the typewriter mechanism is able to prevent the problem, but only for a while, so the typewriters are having to be rebooted as needed.
