And thanks to my teammates most of all. I couldn't have asked for a better team. <3

Well I mean technically...

You are a scholar and a gentleman Goldie. Thank you so much for organising and for cajoling us all like a herd of cats across the line. Huge amounts of work, more I am sure than I know goes into it. Must have been quite fun being able to see the chats of each team and laughing at us when we missed t...

Yup those guys are pretty awesome at 1v1s, full credit to them for the huge effort they put in and pretty amazing results. Lucky to be on a team with them

Good job we eliminated those aussies eh? Makes the all timezone friendly point much easier.

I was doing real well for a while, even despite the troubled start XD
what a match!

Mate, they put you at the top of the power rankings in the middle of the game...

My own vanity required I watch it almost immediately. Very interesting watching things back in the cold light of day - rather painful reliving some of my more dubious decisions. Its a really good video, nice pacing and great insight. They have pretty much hit the nail on the head with the underlying...

For those of us in lockdown with no entertainment other than spectating the gunboat games, a slightly higher pace would be appreciated, waiting a full deadline for a single nation no option retreat is not giving me the adrenaline rollercoaster I am seeking. If people need the deadlines, all well and...

Great summary Goldie

My tuppence worth without giving it huge amounts of thought is that I agree with Teccles around the Turkish position. It is the power I would least like to play because of a Turkish alliance being extremely difficult to manage for both Italy and Austria compared to other alliances. Leading to inhere...

I would also add that as a convert from another site originally (that had coloured units) I too felt your pain - however that quickly passes and I have no problem seeing and know who is where (except for retreating units) even on a phone - so just stick with it my friend.

I was indeed representing PlayDiplomacy, however once the shock of not having group messages available wore off (and my goodness does that make a difference) I decided I preferred this site so will be making it my home going forwards. Thanks CaptainMeme - you are a hero Very fun match, very fun tour...

I was very curious while spectating to see what was going to happen after Autumn 1915 when it looked like F/G and I/R were locked in. As you asked I will drop a few thoughts in response... This was where I was a little naïve, I was pretty sure I would win on countback so had thought that if we reac...

Totally agree, huge thanks to both and all the other mods that supported too, especially in the early rounds when there were pause requests and players leaving almost every day it seemed

Thank you both, my goodness DougJoe - that is some commitment to follow, I think all of us in game gave up hope of seeing an end at one point or another so well done to you. I am very willing to share/discuss the game will my fellow players and all and sundry. I would also be happy to do a full AAR ...

Oh and also your simple system does not factor in relative positions. Most people would agree that say if you topped the board with 8 you deserve more points than say you get 8 in a 8-11-15 draw. There is no difference under what you said but there is in SOS

I read a really interesting article on scoring systems: http://windycityweasels.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/2020-03-To-Whom-Tribute-Is-Due-The-Next-Step-in-Scoring-Systems.pdf I say "really interesting" that clearly depends on your personality and the extent to which you are a geek like me. Now k...

How are numbers going diplomacc?

Sadly (as you know) I cannot attend the march event this time despite having a wonderful time at the last two but will be there for the London event

So... shall we get this party started?

Let's dink dank do this!

On the full press point not sure how I feel about that will give it some thought. I would want at least anything too personal an un-game related to be redacted.

I'd be interested in the SoS score for each country, if you have records that can produce it easily. If bulldog doesnt have this I do. However I am away for the weekend so I will put up on sunday evening/Monday. @VI for too long professions such as lawyers - with the sauve negotiation tactics and t...

As somewhat OCD about these sorts of things and an accountant by profession you numbers both being "essentially" but not actual the same as mine fill with a cold sense of dread. A mystery I must unravel. If not too onerous if you could let me know where the differences are via PM so I can investiga...
