Whoops, replied with the wrong quote. Sorry for the confusion, not that I’m ever that clear anyway.
Will the accolades ever cease? I’m going to have to stop reading my own press clippings or my head’s going to get too big.
I need builds in 1046
Austria: Supp 3 Unit 2 Build 1
England: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
France: Supp 0 Unit 1 Remove 1
Germany: Supp 0 Unit 0 Build 0
Italy: Supp 7 Unit 6 Build 1
Russia: Supp 10 Unit 8 Build 2
Turkey: Supp 7 Unit 8 Remove 1
ppg, did you watch that til the end?
I did. For me, it looks the same at the end as it did in the beginning, except at the beginning there was actually a Germany for a moment there.
Where have you gone Franz Beckenbauer? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
Sorry I missed the deadline for my last move. And I WAS going to order A Gas S A Por-Spa, thus leaving me with Portugal and keeping me alive for another turn. But I have a good excuse. My first child was born Monday, and I’ve been a little bit distracted. She’s cute and pink and perfect. So getting snuffed out isn’t so bad. Ah well, I had fun, but as you said there’s nothing you can do when all 3 of your neighbors decide to team up and destroy you.
Oh, and Shibb? I offered you nothing but friendship against the evil English. And you decided to attack me. And so Italy thought they’d get in the game too. I can’t blame the English for taking part too, that’s just their nature, they can’t help it. But I expected better from you. Well, looks like Turkey will get my revenge for me.
Best Regards,
Lemur the First, Emperor of France (in Exile)
Wish I knew. I guess I missed the memo, although everyone else seems to be in on it.
Poop, I forgot the real reason I was going to post.
Lemur866, Congratulations*!!!
Lemur, again, congratulations! Things just didn’t fall right for you in this game. Your meteoric expansion worried a lot of folks into attacking you early, and a couple of lucky guesses by me broke your center. I’ll explain a bit more of the “why” in the debrief, it’s still classified at this point, but it wasn’t unreasoned.
Have fun playing with your daughter instead of reading e-mails. That’s such a great feeling, I look forward to hearing more details about your new angel.
Lemur, I’m sorry. When your orders weren’t in by 1:00 I assumed you’d tossed in the towel. Congrats on the baby, BTW
Everyone else: Should I allow him to submit those orders and stay alive?
You may reply by email, I will keep your votes secret.
I would abstain on that vote. I don’t think that it’s possible to be impartial.
I say we let him back in. . .
If he lets us name his daughter.
Oh yeah. Congratulations to Shibb for being the Big Dog.
Hell, I’d let him in.
But ask him if he wants back. I know from experience what a load of work a newborn can be.
Nah, I think it’s best if we leave the results as is. Maybe in a few months I’ll get involved in another game, right now my free time is a bit too limited. And anyway, even if I stayed in, Portugal is completely undefended, it would neccesarily fall to someone or other next year. I suppose I might blunder into one of the other centers somehow, keeping me at one unit. No, it’s better this way. I’ll just sit here in the dark by myself. I don’t want you kids to put me in a home. Just set me adrift on an iceberg when I’m no longer of use, like the Eskimos…
Hell, sign up as an alternate for the WorldMasters competition. That way you can heckle Dave and Co while my team, Wooley’s Mammoths, ride to glory.
You mean rides to glory on the back of an 0-7 start?
Congrats Lemur. You have your own little baby Austria to take care of. . . nurture, until she has 5-6 centers, and she’s ready to go off on her own.
Sniff.
Shouldn’t there be a Winter adjudication in here somewhere? I mean Winters aren’t that tough, are they? No Dipping, just a few hasty and erroneous decision and voila, no? Just checking.
It’s done
I see. Not to pick nits, but I think you called Winter 1907 “Fall”.
Winter, fall…it’s all a season, isn’t it?
(fixed)
