I'm tried a new Historical format to reporting on the Media Wars Game. I know a lot of my opponents are on Webdip. It was an epic game. Here is the story from Franz Joseph's perspective. Please heap on your criticism, thoughts, and impressions.

I figure I might as well post here and not create multiple threads:

This is a video journal I made of a match played against 6 other Diplomacy content producers. I recorded everything in real time, just like how I wrote my journals in the past. This is an absolute monster of Diplomacy content, given that everyone in the match is making content about just this one game. I don't think any Diplomacy match has ever been (or ever will be) picked apart as much as this one particular match.

I came within striking distance of a solo win, by the way.

Here's a link to the first episode.You can get to the first 6 episodes through my site or Youtube. I will publish the remaining episodes over the next couple of weeks.

Wow, 10.5 hours!

Yesterday I got a request from The Briefing to try to keep my recap under 500 words. :lol:

I'm pretty sure that's shorter than most of Jeff's messages in that game

Rise up against Umble! If you make it more than 500 words he'll still have to use it, he's committed to publishing on Friday :P

The good part about being in the game is that i can just skim to the parts of the video that involve me without having to give up 11 hours of my life. Awesome stuff Cap!

And yeah you were right, i do disagree with the 'hero' label. ;)

Alright, I have my full 12 episode series published now.

Check it out!

Also, if you were bothered by audio mixing before, please be aware that I re-mixed the audio and re-uploaded the videos.

Also also, if I am missing any links to the other players' content referencing this match, someone please make me aware so I can add it. I want all the Media Wars content to be easy to access.

Took some time, but I have gone through almost all of the resources, including the BrotherBored series and the mighty 10,5 hrs CaptainMeme video. Interesting to see the different perspectives and author styles. Also respect for all the effort you put into covering this game ;)
