19 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: Just a reminder to everyone our countries are going to get shuffled and so we should wait on press
19 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: Good luck and good games to everyone though! Looking forward to the tournament.
19 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: wait so are we our countries not final?
19 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: Yeah, this was explained in the PM from goldfinger. We shouldn't talk until he says so in Global.
20 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: Tournament Director: (goldfinger0303): https://giphy.com/gifs/southparkgifs-26ybvAxkNX15ejfqg Country assignments have been shuffled. You all are good to go!
20 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: GL everybody!
20 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: Good luck, all!
20 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: I'm happy we can start! Good luck and enjoy the game!
20 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: Off we go!
21 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: Yes, that's a one point I don't like in the original map. If I can agree with him in dmz that makes your life more difficult and vica versa. It is very unlikely that we can agree in a 3-way alliance with Russia... in a 10-player map it is more easy. I can still promise if I can manage my western front I will come and help you. Until that you should try to pact with Turkey or with Russia.
21 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: G, you probably meqnt to say that to Austria!
21 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: lol
21 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: Probably. :)
21 Nov 19 UTC	Spring, 1901: 3 mins to go! GL everybody!
24 Nov 19 UTC	Autumn, 1901: GERMANY - I am getting a notification that you have muted me. I don't understand why you would do that, and I also believe that such conduct is not in line with the standards expected in this tournament.
24 Nov 19 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Tournament Director: (goldfinger0303): Please be aware that many users have reported accidental mutings. This is likely due to logging in from mobile. It's been happening across all games, and each instance has been accidental that I've looked into. I've made the moderator team aware of this. In the meantime, please check to make sure you haven't muted anyone :)
24 Nov 19 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Nah, he's just really sick of you and is planning to do the rarely seen anti Austrian reversal.
24 Nov 19 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Don't let goldfinger fool you
24 Nov 19 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Yeah I was muted in another game, was just an accident
24 Nov 19 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Yes, I was realized this mute and checked out already. I hope it is okey now. I've got the same message about you Austria. Can you please check the mute checkbox? :)
20 Dec 19 UTC	Autumn, 1906: GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders.
20 Dec 19 UTC	Autumn, 1906: So sorry, that was me. I had this as tomorrow in my head.
20 Dec 19 UTC	Autumn, 1906: Tournament Director: (goldfinger0303): Bad England!
23 Dec 19 UTC	Spring, 1907: Tournament Director: (goldfinger0303): Pausing for Christmas week. I'll be unpausing on the 29th. Enjoy your holiday everyone!
30 Dec 19 UTC	Spring, 1907: Tournament Director: (goldfinger0303): Hi everyone. I've received a pause request on this one, so we'll be staying paused thru Jan 1 (unpausing the 2nd)
13 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1909: I think it's worth everyone start thinking about stalemate lines and stopping any solo attempts. Remember because of the structure of the tournament all that matters is stopping a solo, and only in the case of a tournament score tie does it matter who has the high count in the draw.
13 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1909: So as far as things go, if you don't think you can get first place in the draw, or a solo, you might as well draw now/set everything else aside and stop any solo attempt. Doesn't matter if turkey and I are eliminated, or not, as far as your score and our own scores matter.
13 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1909: If no one thinks they will overtake Germany, we might as well draw now and let us all focus on round 3.
13 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1909: And to Germany, might as well draw now unless you think you will get the solo.
13 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1909: Except it's not just a tournament game, it's also a ranked DSS game.
13 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1909: So for my GR i would prefer to wait until you and Turkey are elimimated.
13 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1909: Ah, fair enough. I'll let myself be eliminated once you have your defense set up.
21 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1911: Off we pip. I think you made a mistake trying to eliminate turkey, Italy, but hopefully the solo can still be stopped. If not, congratulations Germany. Ugh.
21 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1911: I think 03 autumn was really the swing season for the west, with France cutting bel's support of North sea to hol. (he can confirm at this point but I believe a misorder.) oh well.
22 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1911: GG.
22 Jan 20 UTC	Spring, 1911: The people's Austrian Republic of Apulia lives on!
23 Jan 20 UTC	Of course everybody can live free in any place even in any repuplic, until they do exactly in every minutes what Germany's ruler says. :)) ... I think it is over, if I won't make mistake or I'm wrong. :) So, I would like to thank all of you this game. I've enjoyed it a lot. I was luckier this time, but I wish all of you this in your next or actual games!
24 Jan 20 UTC	Gg.
24 Jan 20 UTC	I should have micromanaged Russia more in the endgame to prevent this outcome. O well. Congrats to Germany who will probably win the tournament now!
24 Jan 20 UTC	Thanks a lot again! I've enjoyed this game a lot, and not only because of the solo. The alliance with Russia was so great, it worked so well, I felt really bad because I needed to break it to arrive here. The war against England and France was very exciting at the first part of the game and it was also when I felt the solo can be reached. Sorry for every lie, I don't like to do that, but it is necessary in this game. I think you should concentrate to the Tournament rules if you are here. I think only that counts how can we reach the solo, and if it is clear we can't do it, only that count to stop any attempt fot it. Survival or better draw shouldn't count. Even a punishment for previous lie/stab/not fair or not understoodable movement. Don't forget, still everybody can win. I was lucky in the first two round, but everybody can reach this in an other rounds. Good luck for it!
24 Jan 20 UTC	Congratulations to kissemo on his victory. I felt it was a difficult game and it would have been very different if I had not made the crucial error of cutting England's support from Belgium in autumn 1903 by entering the wrong order by accident. Thanks for playing.
25 Jan 20 UTC	Good game - congrats to Kissemo !
