Glad to hear it. I’ll start e-mailing you orders every turn. Send them to the GM as-is, and you’ll be the winner in a few short years. Don’t worry if they look a bit odd in the beginning, the plan is beyond your comprehension.
Is garius back? I’d missed that somewhere. I don’t mind if he resumes if he’s back; it’s not like Italy is positioned to crush anyone (except perhaps that annoying Austrian, Wikkit). And don’t worry, McG, I’m clearly on your side, regardless of whether you’re England, France or Russia. Although it would be helpful if you’d identify which it is.
Have you two decided who’s Italy yet? Or are you going to run it together? Or maybe split it in half, and have a nice civil war.
Perhaps we should start using the Democracy rules?
To cut a long story short i got evicted from my house (Well - the house i was renting) due to the b*Stard landlord not paying the mortgage and the incompetency of my Letting Agent.
So after a frantic week of fighting off bailiffs wrongly attempting to reposess my stuff and (at the same time) find somewhere to store it i’m finally back at work.
All i can say is that its a good job my Sister has a comfy sofa (Even if she doesn’t have a computer).
To be honest i’d quite like to take Italy back over (yes i’m a glutton for punishment) but its probably not practical since i’m confined to office-hours email access at the moment (Which is about 3am - 12pm in YankTime i think) which would probably lead to difficulties in communication/last minute dipping.
garius, here’s my proposition:
I’ll run Italy as the sort of Vichy Government and you can be the figurehead in absentia. Whenever you are ready to step back in, assuming that I’ve not got you eliminated by then, you can-- just send me an e-mail. Thus you can blame every thing that goes wrong on me. You can take credit for anything that goes right. That’s what a real government would do, anyway.
Just how little does the UK gov pay that your place was repo’d, anyway?
they pay me alright (although WELL below my market value if you ask me 
)
unfortunately it turned out that my rent payments were not being used by the landlord for important things such as, say, paying the mortgage…
git.
And sounds good to me - hopefully i should be computered up again in a couple of weeks. So i’ll keep an eye on the game. Can’t think of anyone i’d rather hand over power too.
be warned if you become too successful or popular however i may have to have you killed.
Don’t worry, garius, there are plenty of people in this game that would be glad to help you out.
1099 Bobble is officially over. England has been declared total winner, really hoopy frood, and overall god of all things hither and thither.
Another game is supposed to be starting up, but I don’t know the status. Contact Dave if you want to be involved.
Thanks to everyone for participating, and a pox to the ninth generation for not finishing.
The new thread is here. Go, sign up, die.
And I will repeat here: Richard Sharp passed away on March 7, 2003. RIP.
I think it was quie clear that Germany won that game, thank you very much.
Ha! If we’d have played another turn, you would have found that your units wouldn’t have gotten to the west nearly fast enough to save yourself.
