Doper Diplomacy - Winter-Spring 2003

Maybe you should check out the original before you comment. It’s not MY fault if these lugs bollex it all up!

Hmm… “song trousers”?

Anyway, I wish I’d known this was going on sooner. Shortlist me for the next time, please.

I think the required reply to anyone getting involved in SDMB Dip goes something like this:

Heh heh heh.

Sorry for the lack of reminders in the thread.

S02’s due in just over 2 hours.

I’ve got 7 complete sets of orders. I’ll keep accepting revised orders until 8pm PST/10pm CST/11pm EST and then publish the adjudication, unless I get seven notices that orders as submitted are final, in which case I’ll go ahead and release it straight away.

It’s shaping up to be an interesting year, I’ll say that much.

I take it back. I’m missing one set. Player in question has been notified.

Final Final Final! Release Release Release!

Please don’t be interesting around me. I don’t like interesting. A dull, methodical plod to world domination is what I’m looking for. Applications for lackeys and hanger-ons are still being accepted.

I’ll take that deal!

Do you want to be a lackey or a hanger-on? Do you have any references?

I was in the White House Press Corps for two years.

Maybe I should be the backstabbing underling.

Orders are in. Adjudication in just under 1 hour.

Email’s out. Could be more than one very unhappy clam this evening.

One retreat needed. Soon as it’s in I’ll get the updated map sent out. Aiming for this Thursday March 6th, 8pm PST/10pm CST/11pm EST for Fall 1902.

Here’s the link to the site, once Omni gets it updated, but let’s not rush him as he just completed a turn for his own game this afternoon.

Why is everybody always pickin’ on me?

Map’s out.

Fall 1902 due tomorrow, Thursday March 6th, 8pm PST/10pm CST/11pm EST.

I don’t know, but it looks like Bibliovore didn’t get the memo… c’mon, Italy, you don’t want your neighbors to have all the fun, do you?

I see my plan is coming to fruition. Soon you will all be begging for mercy.

Woohoo! Dull methodical plod, here we go.

Should have taken the lackey deal when it was offered.

New and Improved AlternateComeback[sup]TM[/sup]: Hey, you were in the White House press corps, you’re used to being lied to and acting like it’s the truth.

Just wanted to share a new page I created as a portal to all these games I’m hosting sites for. Its really simple, but might be nice for the kibitzers.

Orders Q: Does A Burgundy - Gascony (Dislodged) mean that the army first bounced, then got pushed? If France hadn’t A Spa - Gas, the first would have just moved normally, right?

Omni, it’s MPSIMS. Good to see it as Bobble, though.

Yes. If France hadn’t ordered A Spa - Gas, then A Bur - Gas would have succeded.

Instead, the two bounced, so A Bur was dislodged by the supported move from Munich. Gascony was not a retreat option because it was left empty due to a standoff.

I’m not sure if the bounce in Gascony was a mistake or not. it certainly didn’t seem to serve any purpose. I’m also wondering about Germany’s invalid orders (A Den - Ber, A Ber - Ruhr).

Ah, thanks.

A bounce like France’s is usually a way of defending three spaces with two units, right? Not that Gas or Spa were under any threat.

Germany’s moves reminded me of the English opening “Yorkshire Pudding”, where all English units are ordered to Yorkshire.
