Doper Diplomacy - Winter-Spring 2003

How do you figure? England was my very last preference.

Ugh. I was really lloking forward to Austria, too.

Anyway, good luck to all. The only e-mail address I’ll use is the only one I’ve used.

JC, I’m orginally from southeast Iowa (as my location said until recently), so most of my family is Hawkeye fans. I couldn’t care less about sports, so I have no rivalry going on at all, and ISU completely blows away U of I for engineering, so I’m here. So I certainly won’t hold your Iowa Citydom against you, and I hope you won’t against me.

However, you called me “Wikket”, and for that I have no choice but to completely and utterly obliterate you. Fair warning.

Ben/Wikkit/England(ugh)

Well I’d be willing to swap with you, but I’m England over in Minime. Maybe if you could get a 3rd person, we could all engage in a little kinky 3 way action.

Yub Yub!

Ok, I can recognize seething, but I have no idea what that means.

I’d be willing to trade Russia for England. Do you like Borscht, ppg_shg?

Besides, I love 3-way.

Perhaps I should restate that.

I didn’t want to be England, but I will be. Random-except-for-Wikkit wouldn’t really be fair, and quite honestly, would put me at a disadvantage. My ex-neighbors would already know the plans.

I’ll be Croatian next game. Thanks for offering, though.

Anyone want Italy? :smiley:

A hint…

Return of the Jedi?

If you guys really want to start swapping I really don’t care. Personally I think it’ll just delay the game further but if there’s a consensus choice that that’s preferred it’s no skin off my nose. Juts let me know if anything has to change; at this point I’m just looking ahead to Tuesday S01 adjudication.

Based on Soddy Boy WikkEt’s last note, I’m assuming that we’re moving ahead with our designated countries.

I just want to say whereas before when I was Italy, I was lying. However now that I’m Austria, well frankness is my middle name.

Not a problem. I’ll still open up a can o’whup-ass on all of ya, Italy or no Italy. Hell, I could play as Switzerland and still win!

Now, the little ship thingies can only travel on water, right?

Best you not go with Jonathan’s answer to that one, Bib…

Do you mean rankness?

Dammit, you try to innovate just once and no one let’s you forget it!

Dammit!

Didn’t you make the same ‘innovation’ in Aberration as Byzantium and in 1040 as Italy?

“Guys, I meant to to that. . . Really I did.”

I meant in relation to the original preferences, and you didn’t give any for the first iteration. I didn’t even look at the second round of preferences except to note that there weren’t a complete set. Sorry.

Tues. Feb 18th, 10pm EST. S01. Be there.

10 pm Eastern? So, like 7 pm out here in civilized country?

I guess I’ll be putting my moves in Monday night…

Good. We’ll be able to pick on you while you’re at work!

Dogpile on tj!

I was under the impression that the majority in this game pointed east. I’d be happy to set the deadline to 8 or 9 pm PST. Just trying to be accomodating.

I hope you guys are busy.

Well, that’s better for me. Should we put it to a vote?
