Smid's Diplomacy Game Thread #3

How about I act as a referee for this game, and everytime someone has unsportsmanlike conduct I give away one of their provinces to the victim

That does it, I'm giving one of your provinces to Ilikeverin.

Trying to invade my responsibilities.

Iceland plz.

Not one of Lunar's provinces. You shall get Mallorca.

[minionofmidas]

Perhaps I'm mistaken

With units in the game it's never too late to know the rules.

In fact, it is always too early.

[minionofmidas]

Oh my god! The neutrals have been completely annihilated on turn one!

Switzerland shall be suing all of your asses off in the World Court.

[minionofmidas]

Sweden isn't really neutral. They're allied to Austria.

[minionofmidas]

A unit busy defending itself can't support an attack elsewhere. Pretty obvious rule, really.

A Belgium Supports F North Sea - Holland (*Void*)

lol

[minionofmidas]

I believe muon is right and smid just mistyped.

[minionofmidas]

D'you mean Liverpool?

[minionofmidas]

D'you mean Liverpool?

Yes, yes I did.  I had my hellish post-industrial wastelands Oop North mixed up.  So sue me.

It'd be like a Brit mixing up Cleveland and Buffalo.

No, no. A group of interrelated areas on the East Coast versus a grubby city on the West Coast? You basically just confused New England with Oakland.

[minionofmidas]

Yeah, what's up with Erc? Giving up?

Why Sweden wouldn't move to Norway is obvious - he has a pact with Teddy. Why he wouldn't move down to Denmark is less obvious, given that Germany looks (and looked before the move) to be crumbling, though maybe he doesn't fully trust Ted.

[minionofmidas]

     Wow, that's a lot of failed moves in the Balkans there.

"Failed" "moves", mostly.

[minionofmidas]

Shouldn't France (and Italy too, actually. And technically everybody else as well) have time until after Spain has withdrawn? There are after all two options. (Three if you count disbanding.)

     He said he'll take builds once the English fleet has retreated, so I'm not sure what you mean, exactly.

It means I cannot read. That should be obvious from my posting history anyways, though.

[minionofmidas]

I'd never seen that mapping software's builds map before.
And they seem to be the one thing it does great.

[minionofmidas]

How about I kill all your families so you can go on playing Diplomacy for my viewing enjoyment?

[minionofmidas]

*cough*

[minionofmidas]

Thing is, today is January sixth. If these orders aren't in now, they're probably not going to arrive. This game is in serious danger of falling apart if it's allowed to rest much longer.

[minionofmidas]

I'll take over if it's okay with everybody.

Seeing as we're this close to a deadline, I'll probably send in some provisional orders now and then attempt to analyze Teddy's alliances more closely, pm all my neighbors, etc.

REVOLUTION IN ST PETERSBURG

Tsar has fled, Duma chairman Muromtsev seizes power

[minionofmidas]

Statement by interim President Muromtsev:

"The autocracy never enjoyed the confidence of the people and was never granted any authority by the people. We have therefore decided not to allow the repayment of such loans as have been made by the Tsarist government when openly engaged in a war with the entire people."

[minionofmidas]

Snip

(If your wondering the only word you can spell with all the letters is FRIGATE)

Snip

I always publish results in this order.

That's only in English. In German you can spell FREITAG. Or IT-FRAGE.

[minionofmidas]

Turkey's plans are devious!

I pity the poor Bulgarians.

[minionofmidas]

So what's wit' dat retreat?

[minionofmidas]

Oh. Lol.
