Diplomacy ITP

[Errandir]

No, honestly, I don't mind.

[Thrice Dead Cat]

I definitely think that we should grab replacements for Russia and Turkey before continuing.

[Capt Spanner]

Retreats are:
French fleet to Wales.

I've retreated the Russian fleet Stevastopol so that the player who takes them over isn't too disadvantaged and PM'd players asking if they'd like a seat.

[Murska]

Hello all. Tsar Murska is ready and willing to steer Mother Russia back to greatness.

[Capt Spanner]

Coups in the East!

After a year of civil unrest, strong leaders have now emerged in Russia and Turkey. Murska become the new Tsar of Russia, and Nailuj has emerged in control after a coup. Nailuj said "Turkey will be one of the greatest superpowers the world has ever seen!" and Murska released a statement saying "That will teach the old leader for always stealing my lunch money at school."*

They intend to lead their respective countries to greatness in Europe, and extend a hand of friendship to all willing to aid them.*

In other news, Swiss scientists invented a machine for turning platinum into gold!

Also, we now enter diplomatic phase Autumn 1902.
This ends on 12th August (8pm EST, midnight BST) with the deadline for moves being 24 hours after that.

Aww yeah, I'm totally going to go invade Switzerland!

..wait.

Anyway, yeah. Welcome, new players!

[Capt Spanner]

Just so you all know, I forgot to put a French Army in Burgandy. It should be there. Letting you know in case this affects your plans. The map has now been corrected to reflect this.

[Capt Spanner]

So I totally misread the date and gave you lot a double length move. Err...I mean, I hope you appreciated the double length move to let the new players integrate fully.

In any case, diplomacy phase over, please send me your moves in the next 24 hours by PM. If you haven't subscribed to this thread, please do that too.

[Thrice Dead Cat]

I thought the extra time was a little odd, but I can't say that I'm not thankful for it as I almost missed my moves anyhow.

[Eurus]

Oh, yikes. The turn was so long I almost forgot about this.

[Deathslayer7]

France gains a fleet in Mar
Germany gains an army in Mun
Italy creates a fleet in Rom
Russia creates a fleet in StP (NC)
Turkey creates an army in Ank.


Also, many thanks to those of you keeping me updated on your behind the scenes stuff. It will make writing the game report far easier, and more in depth.

It is now Spring 1903. Diplomacy ends 20th August, moves by 21st August, please.

[Thrice Dead Cat]

There are errors with the French units again. I've still got the army in Burgundy and the army in Liverpool is actually a fleet.

[Capt Spanner]

Thanks, that's now been corrected. MS Paint is not the ideal tool for maintaining the map...

For those unsure, if information conflicts, the "Moves so far" list takes precedence over other sources of information, though I welcome corrections to other information, naturally.

(In other news, I'm thinking of getting rid of the "List of unit positions" and replacing it with a list of controlled supply centres. The former doesn't add anything you couldn't get from the map and is kinda tricky to maintain, while the former may actually be useful sometimes. Any major objections to this?)

[Capt Spanner]

Could I have your moves by midnight tomorrow.

Thanks.

[Thrice Dead Cat]

Bah, I don't even remember if I sent my moves! I'll get on that unless I've already done such.

[Murska]

I'm used to a bit faster pace. It's horrible waiting for a week after you've sent our moves, to agonize over everything that could go wrong.

[Capt Spanner]

Still missing three sets of moves :-S

DukeGod is saying they can't keep it up.

[Murska]

Austria, Turkey and... Italy?

[Errandir]

Nope, I sent my moves in on time.

[Eurus]

Yeah, one would be me. >_> Having issues, sorry. Can send them in now, though.

[Capt Spanner]

Nope, I sent my moves in on time.

Yes you did. Oops. Had you on that list by mistake. Sorry.

I'm not sure whether or not to replace Turkey. There isn't anyone "on the bench" as it were, so I'd have to actively search for a replacement. It might take some time, by which time Turkey may be so behind they have very little influence anyway.

Anyway, there is one retreat to resolve, then we'll get onto Autumn 1903, hopefully tomorrow night.

[Murska]

The map has my A War in Galicia instead of the A Ukr.

[Eurus]

The map seems to not be updated yet.

[Deathslayer7]

thats cold Russia. and after everything i did for you? I see how it is.

[Capt Spanner]

The German army in Sweden retreats to Skagerak.

If the map hasn't updated, try doing a full refresh (Ctrl + F5 in most browsers). A normal refresh may use the old map from the cache.

I've also added
Germany: A Hol holds to the move list.

[Starfols]

thats cold Russia. and after everything i did for you? I see how it is.

If it's any consolation, I'm only borrowing it.

[Deathslayer7]

no no its not. cause he lied to me.
