Here is the current list of players:
G1
23. V+
26. Troodonte
164. Aristocrat
300. UnknownHero
772. Doug7878
1988. Ferdack
3152. Jamiet99uk
G2
14507. DarthPorg36
15724. CNote
16903. Hamilton Brian
We are looking to add 4 more players so that we can have two games.
Based on the discussion so far, how are these game settings for everyone:
36h phases
Hidden draw votes (I'm not aware of a way to hide other votes, let's just not abuse them)
Anonymous players
1 excused missed turn
DSS scoring (seems to be the current frontrunner)
Bet size: 5
The two games (if we manage to get there) can have different settings if the players agree to change them.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
Thanks Doug7878 for the bumps.
It is beginning to look like G2 will not fill up, so I'll issue one final call now. If we get no more sign-ups, I'll send out Invites for G1 as listed tomorrow.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
I have sent out the game invites to the top 7 players. Sorry to those players who didn't manage to get in a full group, I was hoping this would garner more interest.
The game is here for any who may want to spectate:

@Unknown Hero
Did the original Russia rejoin, or has one of the "Game2" players taken the slot? (I'm not asking which Game2 player, if this is the case)
I know its anon, but if you know, then all should know. Yes?

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
I didn't invite any new players, so the original Russia must have rejoined. If there is a future CD, I will post here before sending invites to other players, and share who joined the game.
Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
Not sure how many more people you needed, or even what my gunboat rank is, but if you need another person still i'm in.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
Russia is in Civil disorder again, so I will be checking with the G2 players to see if any of them want to sub.

WarLegend, if I don't get any responses from the above players in the next 10 hours or so, I'll send you the invite to join.
I will post here again when a sub is found.

DarthPorg36 has agreed to join as a replacement. Thanks for stepping up!

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
Shouldn’t we all be voting cancel on this? Germany/Turkey/Austria are getting a pretty massive advantage here (some more than others)

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
Well I thought I had the situation sorted with getting a replacement, but I guess the deadline passed to quickly. Dang. It's actually the original player who returned now, not DarthPorg36.
I'm open to either cancel since the game is not purely competitive anymore, or play on since the original Russia returned.
If we do cancel, I'll happily set up a new game.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
I don't think, at this point, that the quality of Russia's play matters that much. Germany's advance has been, and probably will be, a bit faster than it would have been had Russia entered reasonable orders, but Russia was in trouble regardless.
Russia was Turkey's ally (thus far), so I'm not sure that Turkey has gained any meaningful advantage, and Austria has very little room to maneuver in any case.
I would support cancelling the game if all other players were in favor. If even one player wants to play on, I think we should.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
Since it is gunboat, I am going to refrain from discussing the positions on the map and any specific impacts on strategy that the NMR may have caused (my last post was when Russia was still missing). I think the impacts are greater than you are giving credence for, though, for reasons that will be evident in coming turns.
I am still voting to cancel.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
We now have France in civil disorder. I have asked DarthPorg36 if they would like to try again to join as a replacement.
However, to avoid the risk of having another NMR this game, I am opening up the game to anyone who wants to step in.

Looks like we got a replacement in the nick of time. I don't know who it is, just as anonymous to me as anyone else.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
This has predictably devolved into Germany and Turkey squeezing out Russia and whittling out everyone else.

This game should have been cancelled and still should be cancelled.
