PS - to the person who asked 'what is gunboat'

It is where no messages are allowed to any other player. You must intuit the intentions of other players from their moves alone. This is done on an honour system, and results in much hilarity as you try and form alliances by *not* moving to obvious places, or by launching an all out attack on a neighbour and hoping that another country joins in.

It's actually a remarkably fun game to play, and I would have joined if I'd seen the thread.

Guys, can I suggest a shorter time frame - after all, you don't have to wait for people to discuss tactics do you?

Well, I like it more than 24, but 30 or 28 would do too. I'm kind of wondering where Dingleberryjones is, and if the rest of the players is still in. We will need a replacement for Draugnar, 4 D is simply too less for a bet.

Ok, I have started the game, 25 points, 24 hours and WTA.

Just joined :) Good luck gentlemen, may you write passionately.

yay joined :D

my first gunboat ever!

@ cg white, I wouldn't cuz since its gunboat people will finalize asap so time isn't really a problem.

Seriously though Dingleberry, how'd you find out you can write to yourself manually?

Someone else brought it up in the Forum a few months back. I can't take credit.

And so she begins. Best of wishes to my crushees.

so if we die as a country do we post our logs or only once the game is done?

Only at the end, right?

I'd say 'at the end', but it's not like you're really giving away secrets to do so early...

I think it'll be funnier if you can see them all at once, though. :3

only when the game is completed.

end it is

Crud, I don't have the 25 just yet. Almost finished with 2 games that would have given me the points. Oh well, at least you got your seven nations already.

I'll be sure to save for the next one.

Good luck everyone!

A small thing you should be aware of: the chatboxes here save only to a limited degree, like 50 messages or so. If you don't want to lose your daily accounts, use Notepad or something. I do :)

Yeah, I thought of that after the fact. And I think its more like 20, not 50. So using Notepad may be the way to go. Unless you plan to die early.

LOL, even 20 messages should get you through ten years...

Not with the slander I'm writing about the rest of you ;)

They can be 20 LONG messages. Length is not the problem, its quantity.

My first journal took 2 pages >_<

lucky for me after that my recent entries have only taken 3 lines.

I write one HUEG message each season.
