Spring, 1907: As one might wont to do during a pandemic lockdown, my wife decided that it is the BEST POSSIBLE time to re-paint the kitchen and the cupboards. So... | |
Spring, 1907: 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. | |
Spring, 1907: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): Sigh. I've been on this player for a while about entering orders. My sincerest apologies everyone | |
Autumn, 1907: I think I chose the most vanilla set of moves. I probably should have maintained the support order for Tyrolia to Trieste, but... | |
Autumn, 1907: There's a real prisoner's dilemma thing going on here, but it's just between myself and myself! :) I do have to say, thank you all for the lovely offers. All are being considered with equanamity. | |
Spring, 1908: 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. | |
Spring, 1908: That was NOT me; I just checked. My orders were in and saved. Poor goldie...this is happening in every single game I have been a part of. | |
Spring, 1908: Was not me either | |
Spring, 1908: Ive never played a game that missed so many turns before. This is the Masters Tournament. Whats going on | |
Spring, 1908: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): :( I try guys. I'd be kicking people if they were consistently doing it, but it's pretty evenly distributed. | |
Spring, 1908: :) You're a stalwart, goldfinger!!! This has been a pretty momentous organizational challenge. | |
Spring, 1908: Yes indeed thanks Goldfinger | |
Spring, 1908: This was me guys! Don't know how that happened. Apologies to all of you as well as Gold! | |
Autumn, 1908: Good game Italy - it was really fun playing with you. You are a great player and clearly deserved a better result! | |
Autumn, 1908: Well played Italy, sorry I couldn't help you more. I suggest we draw this now. I have the units to stop Turkey, and although I have openings on my German front, having had discussions with Turkey I am confident he will pull back so I can re allocate as needed to stop Germany. So I think this game is a draw. | |
Autumn, 1908: Good game, Italy! | |
Autumn, 1908: France is the only one who has played this game with any sense of decency (i.e. didn't fight me) so I say he deserves his draw! | |
Autumn, 1908: 3 or 4 way my vote is in | |
Autumn, 1908: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): Hi guys. I've received a pause request through Sunday for this game. | |
Autumn, 1908: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): Unpaused | |
Autumn, 1908: 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. | |
Autumn, 1908: Ah, so you three DON'T want to see the 2 remaining Italian units destroyed! I'm touched. | |
Autumn, 1908: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): Pausing while I look into this | |
Autumn, 1908: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): Hi everyone. To give you all an idea of a timeline, the player who requested the pause has not yet returned. Given that the nature of request was stated to be covid-related, I'm going to give them a few more days, as they had some spare pause time anyways. If I don't hear by Sunday, I will look for a replacement. | |
Autumn, 1908: i hope they are safe | |
Autumn, 1908: if it is a key player (tur or ger), then maybe give them a bit longer? | |
Autumn, 1908: if it is a key player (tur or ger), then maybe give them a bit longer? | |
Autumn, 1908: It is not me | |
Autumn, 1908: And yes, I agree if is a key player (no offense, Italy :)), I am fine waiting a bit longer as well. | |
Autumn, 1908: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): Hi all, Just checking in with everyone. The mod team and I have both attempted to contact the player, but haven't heard anything in response. If you're willing, I'll give it a few more days. But I'm eventually going to sub someone in no matter what. Gold |
|
Autumn, 1908: I'm willing to wait a bit longer, but agreed, we will eventually have to sub someone in if there is continued silence | |
Autumn, 1908: I'll sub... | |
Autumn, 1908: Ok happy either way. | |
Autumn, 1908: I was kidding about subbing; I think it would violate a rule. I do hope Turkey is ok. | |
Autumn, 1908: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): Hi all. I will be making a substitution in the next 24 hours. | |
Autumn, 1908: Can it be someone who loves the French? | |
Autumn, 1908: Hello, sub here. Time to read through old press. | |
Autumn, 1908: Moderator: (goldfinger0303): Phase reset | |
Autumn, 1908: Welcome to the game Turkey. | |
Spring, 1909: Here are my odds at this point: German solo 1-2 on (i.e. v likely) 3 way draw 2-1 Turkey solo 25-1 France solo 50-1 |
|
Autumn, 1909: okay i have changed my odds. Turkey solo 1-2 3 way draw 5-1 Germany solo 15-1 France solo 100-1 |
|
Autumn, 1909: all because germany supported a unit into Tuscany. Bad mistake. | |
Guys I think I’m going to have to settle for the draw. Had I gotten Belgium like I’d hoped and gotten into Gal might be a different story, but as is with France throwing to Turkey and Turkey likely to gain several this year I don’t see a choice :-( | |
I'm going one more turn then will draw if this doesn't work out. | |
You might not get the choice to draw in one more turn. I think this is a fair place to draw it, well done all. Thanks for coming in new Italy | |
Sorry new Turkey | |
Good game all | |
Yes a hard fought game, well played both. Thanks for stepping in Turkey. | |
Sorry I wasn't part of the finish but thus far my most enjoyable game of the tournament. Good game!!! | |
Bloody awful if you asked me. Congrats to the drawers. |
