Diplomacy - Sophomore

Like anyone is really going to miss Austria’s first two moves!

Sheesh, one little problem with cut & paste and everyone’s a critic

So, more importantly, everyone okay with the proposed next deadline? Anyone jetting off to the Hamptons for the weekend and can’t make it?

Keep in mind, Shibb, that one of the critics is speaking for Boscone – I mean, is playing Austria. All I’m trying to do is bring peace, harmony, and Imperial domination to these poor benighted Balkan republics.

I’m good with a Monday deadline. I’m just going to go jump in a lake this weekend. (Take a good look at my Location.)

BTW, happy 5000 posts, Shibb!

I never understood the allure of quarry diving, although some springs are cool. Where is Dutch Springs, anyway? BTW, I’m a certified diver since about -60,000 posts ago.

Will there be a page for this game? It makes everything easier, IMO.

I was just gonna say the same thing as Wikkit. Where’s our page! :smiley:

Yeah! :wink:

Ok, ok. Here’s a link for this game. The top part is done, I can’t add the GIFs until I get home to my place (visiting the folks right now). Maybe it works, maybe not. Let me know.

Just a helpful reminder, orders due at noon today. I’m actually logged on right now, so if the pots right I may adjudicate in a timely manner. Also, don’t forget, today is Bastille Day, so be careful not to leave your valuables out around the French…

I’m feeling generous so you all get Bastille Day off to go free prisoners, eat pate or knit sweaters while your countrymen decapitate the local aristocracy. Your call on that one.

Orders are now due noon, July 16.

Dutch Springs is about an hour north of Philadelphia. They have a lot of sunken vehicles to dive around and look at.

Like any good northern quarry, Dutch Springs is cold at depth. 7mm wetsuits are a must, and below about 50 feet, I strongly encourage wearing DRY suits. (We dove to 65 feet on Saturday, and got real cold real fast.)

Just so you know, “Game Press” on your game page gives a 404. I want my Game Press, dammit! I mean, how else can we do some public chatting and trash-talking? If only there were a place for people to post their messages…some sort of “board” perhaps…I’m just blue-skying here, people…

I guess the rest of the world isn’t too interested in the hum-drum politics of a bunch of small, unimportant countries.

sits uncomfortably, polishing his bayonet while shooting furtive glances at Shibb

When adjucation? Og demand adjucation!

Hey, at least you didn’t get up on 4 hours of sleep just to submit orders and see the adjudication…

You know I keep hitting the Send/Receive button just knowing that it’ll be that one time when they arrive. I could wait for it to automactically query every 10 minutes, but damn it, I don’t have the patience for that.

Here we go again…crap, nothing.

One more time…nope, still nothing…

I’ve got a bunch of Hungarian Magyar infantry getting antsy over here. They’re sobering up, and they ain’t staying around for the ambiance…

He’d better be laid up in bed recovering from his big birthday bash where he had to do a shot for every year he is old. Thats the only excuse I’ll tolerate.

OK, where does Shibb live?

Who is closest to that location?

Please go over to Shibb’s house and beat him with a jagged hunk of rusted metal.

Thank you.

That is all.

Shibb spent the morning driving from his lovely beach vacation condo on the Gulf of Mexico to bucolic Lake Wales, Florida, so that his wife could visit her father and his kids could see their “quiet” grandfather. Then, since we were in the vicinity, we decided to pop round to Disney World. It’s freakin’ hot in Kissimmee in July, lemme tell you kiddos. Especially when you’re carrying around a portable, living, breathing BTU generator. Now, just past 2 am we’re back on the Gulf, washed up and not a creature is stirring. Assuming all orders are in & correct, I’ll adjudicate as quickly as possible. Sorry 'bout the delay. Sometimes vacation is vacation.
