rratclif, why would you be sorry?

In your position, I would not be.

I have no hard feelings at all.

your right rratclif, and im sorry for possibly interfering with the course of your game and if it does go "sour" for anyone. But its not amateur BS only my observations of your game dialogue.

[Austria]

will it be possible for us to replace turkey?

[Russia]

Wait, why am I "Highly gullible" ?

And what is the thing about /giveup, sounds familiar...

[Italy]

A pleasure as always, mapleleaf.

rratclif, I disagree. If we didn't want anyone to comment, why didn't we just talk on global chat? I found WS's comments very amusing.

Austria, sorry for delaying my answer. Yes, do with your fleet as you see fit. Apparently, I need to defend against France...
If you could help my fleet north, that would be awesome.

Russia, if you would like my help, just let me know. As I said before, I'll gladly share Turkey with you and then we can go after FG.

France, When you're done being Germany's puppet (and if Russia hasn't already won) let me know.

[Italy]

Does anyone have a problem with advertising for a new Turkey?

i thought about joining but dont have the funds prolly...but im almost done with another game in which i should win very soon

[Russia]

Depending on very soon, Turkey might be gone by then.
Italy: The only help I would like is that of defeating Austria, who is annoying me.

And WS, you never answered my earlier question.

I think WS is leaving us alone.

lord alex i am the one that said /giveup in the first place in the thread that you mention much earlier...

and i cant explain the rest of my logic because a certain person, who will remain un-named, doesnt like it when others talk about them...

and Ginsberg....
yes i will be leaving you alone from now on. I just wanted to bring up some observations that i made when reading your posts thats all.

WS, I don't really care if you comment. Although it is rather amusing to see peoples' reactions.

I should really say,
WS, I don't really mind if you comment

[Itay]

Austria, are you going to help my fleet in Greece out?

[Italy]

Nobody seems very chatty...Did WS scare you all away : )

Austria, let me know what you're thinking.

[Austria]

Italy, I assume you want support into the Aegean Sea?

If so, you have my support.

[Austria]

Or do you want support into bulgaria from serbia?

I need serbia's protection right now, so I can't support you into bulgaria. but I can support you into aegean sea.

but seriously...in all honesty did no one else notice how germany acted in the very beginning and how he is acting now?

WhiteSammy, I've asked you to please not comment in this thread. I feel it is extremely inappropriate to influence a game you have no part of, and unless everybody in the game has an issue with what you're doing that should be respected.

"...and unless everybody in the game has an issue with what you're doing that should be respected."

...translation please

It means if everyone's okay with it you could comment all you like (or was meant to), but since people are taking exception to it it would be best to not comment in this thread about this game.

meh. We do not OWN the forum. My suggestion(from beyond the grave) is to chalk this up to experience, and deal to with extraneous comments as best we(you) can.

Telling people not to comment will only invite more IMHO. Ignoring said comments would be more effective.

Anyway, what do I know? I'm dead.

No mapleleaf, we don't own the forum, but Diplomacy is also a game with some conventions that are expected to be followed, such as no meta-gaming. It's frequently mentioned in the forums that it's bad form to comment on games in progress in areas where members of that game could read it.

You cannot be serious.

Those games are not public press games, for Christ's sake.

Please tell us all that you're joking, or you may never recover from this particular stupidity.

I'm entirely serious, WhiteSammy isn't part of this game, so he shouldn't be influencing it. Public press means that we can see all press, not that anyone who wants to can make press in the game.

EXTRA, EXTRA
READ ALL ABOUT IT....

INSECURITY ROCKS BERLIN

Over the course of the recent days the Kaiser has come to realize that civil unrest is growing rapidly throughout all of the German dominion. Recent news of the Kaiser's diplomatic talks with other world powers has many citizens concerned with the ability of their leader to deal with national security in a civilized manner.

In recent interviews by Heinrich Schneider, a reporter for the Deutsche Krigszeitung, many Germans were unaware of the harsh and openly critical actions taken by their Kaiser. They were also shocked to learn that the Kaiser had been using the geological status of the rising German empire to pressure its allies into continued support despite a lack of reciprocal support. 86% of the people interviewed found a hypothetical situation, under the same circumstances, highly immoral and expressed obvious concerns for the nations being "forced" to remain allied.

Many publishers across the motherland are becoming concerned over the increasing government censorship being impressed upon the populus. The Deutsche Krigszeitung and many other major newpapers will be holding a formal march later this month in protest to the growing amount of government objection to public press. If you would like more information regarding the event and many other ways you can get involved please call us at (011-49)030-477-1591.
