Missed deadlines and country assignments?

Has anyone felt that there is a connection between some players NMRing and the country they have been assigned? I get the feeling that Germany’s and Turkeys are usually the culprits for NMRs in my games with a good chunk of Italys as well

Well, they probably don’t want to play those countries, then. Italy’s win rate is statistically lower, and Germany is surrounded. I don’t know about Turkey, though, because i thought they were a decent country.
Not an excuse for NMRing, though. You make the decision, you better follow through.

I've always enjoyed playing Germany. Turkey probably gets NMRs because of the dumb turtle position that happens in 40% of games. Italy is potentially the weakest country, although the statistics that point to them being the "weakest" are based on solos. In my experience, Italy draws a lot more often than Austria but solos less. Both are weak (which is probably part of why Jug is so powerful).
