What the hell are you talking about MinorAnnoyance? There are *days* left on my world game's signin and only one slot missing.

Only one slot missing?

Someone fire up the Digits Signal. I'm in.

I was referring to the other game, "Winner-2"
but two more have jioned that to make 16 with an hour to go so anything is possible.
I still have no precise idea just how many players a game of this type requires.

17. It says so if you click on the game variant's name and go to the variant's rules page. But being daft is a priviledge for MinorAnnoyances I guess.

well it seems you pulled out of that game Draugner

Because it had a number of quitters (CDs rampant) and new players with no games and accoutns created today. I offered in private to join a passworded and screened game of classic dip, ppsc if you like, non-anon or anon (your choice) with at least 24 hours and a 35 point bet. This all fits within your choice of weapon, but you are to chicken shit to organize it.

How would you choose the other players?

It never ceases to amaze me the number of rubes who devote their non-refundable TIME humoring bi-polar Fagnaur in his little ventures.

That's up to MinorAnnoyance. My only rule is they can't be quiters and must have at least 10 games under their belt here. Beyond that, he can stack the deck as he likes. Of course, metagaming with a preset alliance intent on destroyign me proves nothing until I win. :-)

Oh, and I do get right of first refusal on the list of up to two players from the first round and 1 player from the second round. It's kind of like a jury pool. So he is guaranteed 3 of his first round picks and 1 of the first replacements should there be any need, and his replacement of that replacement if needed is guaranteed.

So how about it MinorAnnoyance? Want to set this up?

As a speed up alternative, you pick three opponents that I can't refuse and I pick two that you can't. Your choice how we do that.

So come on MinorAnnoyance! And yes, you are probably in bed, so chat in the morning.

So I sent the ID and password to a couple alternatives. D33 chickened out. Just kidding D33. I know you have a sudden situation come up requiring a 10 day pause and appreciate your bowing out instead of forcing us to pause from the start.

And ninjanrd hasn't shown up yet. So two alternatives got the password.

If anyone else is still interested, I'll send the gameid and password to you too. Just post here or PM me.

Posts here again.

I sent it to you SD.

Joined it like a boss.

Whos eon now and wants to play? Comeone folks! One more needed!

So I have one question, where the heck is regular Russia on the map?

Never played a World game before. Can I get that last spot?

Sorry 2WL... And this is my second world game.

OK, thanks for the message Draugnar ( it only hurt a bit to say that )

I think the whole "mano v mano" duel is impossible to arrange by design & intent.

It is taking an "external dispute" into a game, so it is a catch 22 proposition & has to put other players in dificult position.

You will have to be content with Loving me from a distance Mr D
& we can always share our Love in Forum posts and the like.

Now that the game has concluded, I have pulled of a Scandalous and Promiscuous solo win and won a whole 22 .
The game was called "Diplomacy_is_for_winners"
England is my favourite country to play because I can use "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN"
in lot's of messages, but I rarely get it when joining games from the start, get stuck with Austria, Italy, Turkey etc, so I cruise the open games like an old tart, and buy in so I can play England.

Usually the previous management has left England in "distressed condition,
needs broken windows fixed & painting ,cigar burns and drinkstains on furnishings etc.

so I for a lazy 5 , I pick up a 3 unit England
facing a 5 unit France with fleet in Eng Ch
and a 6 going for 8 unit Germany with a fleet in the North sea
& there is a German led alliance with France against me.

3 move turnaround, control of North sea & Eng Ch & army in Holland from England
i got away with the dirtiest backstab on Germany, and with NO GUILT, as he was backstabbing his ally france in the same move ( he moved armies to Pic and Burgundy in secret attack expecting France to have convoyed an army to Wales, France hesitated, so when the lights came on, there were still 3 armies in France & 4th in Portugal facing 2 german armies, plus i speared the army into Holland in same move---
France switched to alliance with me, Germany imploded spectacularly,
( poor netzchhespeitzche has suffered a slight psychological blow & is consulting his Uncle Sigmund Freud. )
and France & I defeated the rest & I snatched a solo win.

So little Draugnar......

SCOREBOARD SCOREBOARD SCOREBOARD

you may have the higher "draw" %
but I am way ahead of you in win %

I should to be decent & publicly acknowledge that you were right onto the dificulties with
setting up a "duel" and that decision making in games has to be on what is going on in the game and clearly had no intention of meta gaming and that was all clear to me in the message you sent me.
So I should make it clear to other readers of these posts that there was no attempt
at any "hanky panky" that might cause interest of almighty moderators on draugnar's part & in fact an acute awareness of the need to be careful

Still can be a duel, just make it anonymous. What would be funny is if you guys ended allying if you do an anonymous game.

**ended up allying**

errr, Draugnar was way ahead of you there,
& we would both consider allying with each other in a game, if it was in the best interests of the country we had, plus how can we try to backstab each other without first being allies......

I still want to play MajorMickeyMouse. :-) So lets get a 35 point PPSC going. But password it so the riff-raff dont get in.

You see, this is what I get for not paying attention to the forums.

If you end up needing anyone else, I'd love to play. The World variant is a ton of fun.

We are underway. But I'll keep you in mind if someone goes AWOL.
