14 May 18 UTC	Spring, 1901: Moderator: (ghug): Welcome to the 2018 Gunboat Tournament! You've been placed into seven games. If you're not in seven games, you haven't received each power exactly once, or you feel you've been put in the tournament in error, please contact me as soon as possible. Games have been paused to ensure that nobody misses a phase due to the abnormal nature of the game starts. If you have not voted unpause by Wednesday, May 15th, I will contact you and begin docking from your seven days of allocated pause time in one day increments. If you need a pause, please let me know. Good luck!

31 Jul 18 UTC	played terrible as Turkey. never had a good game as this country
31 Jul 18 UTC	Congratulations dagabs0! I'll have to look back in the moves to see what I could have done differently around the north of Russia, but I will say...the final note I had written in Notes said, "So glad to have had this Turkey as a partner." We were really missing some signals, mate.
31 Jul 18 UTC	The solo could have been prevented if Turkey moved to Ionian when I moved to Tunis and then supported Tunis.
31 Jul 18 UTC	Yep...
31 Jul 18 UTC	And looking further at it, the Spring 1913 moves were pretty telling. With Tunis open, TYR was going to need to remain there. At the very least a bounce may have happened if Lyon had hit TYR. I don't get the move to Greece from Aegean.
02 Aug 18 UTC	Thanks Russia. And I agree with ya - I needed those 2-3 mistakes to solo as quickly as I did
