Diplomacy

[Ranholn]

austria is better then italy, man austria is a great one to start rapid expansion and if your good at diplomacy (the talking part) you can isolate and crush with lots of fun

[New History lovers]

Italy's in the generally bad position for a diplomat, Austria's in the generally bad place for a non-diplomat.  But, really, there is no WORST country for all players; only worst for certain players.  I suck with Turkey and Italy myself, I can pull a game with Austria, Russia, and France, but can pwn with England or Germany,

[tak]

but actually I can see a huge imbalance with Austria taken out. It should have been Russia instead, as suggested.

[New History lovers]

The rules explicitly state which countries are to be taken out with fewer than seven players.

[Zimmerwald]

Well, I'm a far better diplomat than tactician.  Fuck.

[Algerianbania]

Same here, but it seems like that if I befriend the right people, I can rape you guys in the ass.

[Zimmerwald]

I see an R/T!

PLEASE NOTE: "National Provinces" (i.e., supply centers under a certain country's control at the beginning of the game), you must continually occupy for TWO TURNS to switch it to you (the other side loses the supply center, but you must wait two full turns before gaining it.)  THIS INCLUDES AUSTRIA.

Also note - a fleet cannot convoy in the same turn that it moves.

Your majesties, your excellency, you have 48 hours to submit your moves.  IF AND ONLY IF Turkey (Latagon) does not submit orders in that time, time will be delayed until Tuesday evening.  IF this does not occur, and Fall 1901 goes through, Winter 1901 (i.e., the building phase) will not end until Tuesday evening.

[Ranholn]

im dropping out of the game sorry

[New History lovers]

What?  Why?

[Zimmerwald]

PLEASE NOTE: "National Provinces" (i.e., supply centers under a certain country's control at the beginning of the game), you must continually occupy for TWO TURNS to switch it to you (the other side loses the supply center, but you must wait two full turns before gaining it.)  THIS INCLUDES AUSTRIA.

Does "two turns" mean Spring and Fall of a year, or two years?

Also, Ranholn, please don't drop out of the game.

[Simple]

ill pick up where ranholn stopped!!

[Zimmerwald]

You want to take over Ranholn's nation?  That's fine.  I'll send you a note.

[LLANYDERN]

Can I play?

are we allowed to come in late, I won't complain if my alloted nation has been mildly raped already promise 

[New History lovers]

Alright, then, if you both want, Simple, you take up where Ranholn left off with England, and LLANYDERN, you take Austria.

Read the rules, and submit orders.

And, on the national provinces, yes, that's Spring-Fall.  So, basically, a whole year.
