04 Aug 15 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Also, an observation: the game will progress to the next turn if everyone has hit ready, which I recommend doing unless you think further diplomacy will change your move.
05 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1902: Looks like we are facing a good old fashioned Juggernaut.

14 Aug 15 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Hey everyone, I and Russia had a peace treaty, and I swore that if he broke it I would put his destruction as my number one priority. He did break it - any attacks I launched against him were unsupported, and just purely defensive attempts to cut support (albeit failures). As such if anyone want to destroy Russia, I will help in any way I can, even if it doesn't advantage me.
14 Aug 15 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to look far back enough in the message log to see it, but I think calling it a peace treaty is overstating it. I will note I proposed a series of entirely defensive moves to Austria, which would have secured them against any danger from me.
14 Aug 15 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Calling it a peace treaty was understating it. It was an alliance against Turkey.
14 Aug 15 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Worked pretty well, y'all got Bulgaria off of me, and can probably finish me in a year or so.

09 Sep 15 UTC	Spring, 1905: And then there were 6. Farewell England, you fought nobly and valiantly against superior odds. The world is poorer now, and you will long be remembered.
09 Sep 15 UTC	Spring, 1905: Austria... avenge.. me...
20 Sep 15 UTC	Spring, 1906: Farewell Russia, my greatest ally. The world shall not again see your like.
21 Sep 15 UTC	Spring, 1906: Good game. I may have lost, but I take consolation in the fact that the people who stabbed me are dead (or dying) too. If anyone wants one last support against Italy, let me know.
22 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1906: Woah, Germany is actually winning here? Didn't they stab all of their neighbors, twice over? I guess it says something about the LW crowd when that's the winning strategy :P
25 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1906: No, Germany didn't. Germany didn't stab me, Russia was clearly preparing to attack, and so Germany pre-empted, and Italy stabbed Germany. There has been a lot of stabbing though. I particually liked the bit where Italy decided that instead of being part of a three player central alliance and going for a three way victory, he'd rather stab the rest of the alliance and end up at war with everyone. How's that working out for you Italy? Having fun being crushed between Turkey and France? I still have one unit left if anyone wants support into Vienna or Trieste!
25 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1906: Italy could have been invading France alongside Germany, if they wanted.
25 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1906: Honestly I think the only person I stabbed was France, and that was last year. I feel kind of bad for stabbing him, because he's obviously a very nice guy, but well, the goal of the game is to win, and the stab was just too good to ignore, even taking into account the opportunity cost of burning bridges.
01 Oct 15 UTC	Spring, 1907: Alas, Austria. The glory of the world is sundered and faded. I call upon all nations to resist Germany, who is making itself the ruler of the earth. We must face him together, or die seperately! Resist his honeyed blandishments and battle him to the last!
03 Oct 15 UTC	Spring, 1907: Guys please ready your moves when you are certain you won't change them anymore. This phase doesn't have to take 3 days.
18 Oct 15 UTC	Good game man
18 Oct 15 UTC	Thanks! That was a strange game. In the end if went much faster than I had thought.
