I think it was communal, in that at least one MAD who is in both games was snowed in, and then a DAD who is in both games got the sniffews.
Dip Minime could beat up Dip 1099[sub]although I hear that Turkey guy is pretty tough[/sub]
I’m short two sets of orders still. One of them has contacted me and promises them soon. I’m still waiting for the other one.
Ah, gimme a break. Bobble would kick Minime’s butt into Iceland. Turkey ain’t all that great, either; I hear he’s so mixed up he plans to go for Portugal.
Well, yes. In 1099 Turkey will be going to Portugal.
Via Italy, Austria, Russia, Germany and France.
England I like, so it can be a satellite.
All orders are in. adjudication shortly, shorty.
If, if, this is the game where the results were sent this morning, then it’s really taken some interesting turns. Obviously Mr. Steve suffers from his lack of kibbitzing on the Boards. It sure looks like a dogpile on Germany. Our beloved JC is rounding the bases in the wrong direction, and glancing off France on his way to England. WL is all in Germany’s sh!t, which can’t be making the Kaiser too happy. Weirddave, in Austria, seems to be doing okay but he needs to see a surgeon about having that Russian Army removed. Speaking of which, what the hell is that Italian army doing roming up around Bohemia? Looking for a good latte? Meantime McG and Omni seem to be wetting themselves over the prospects in Northern Europe, but where will the builds come from once the German is destroyed? Schnitte, meanwhile, seems stuck in neutral down in the other corner.
All in all quite entertaining, but a bit difficult to predict where things will go once everyone finishes pounding on the German war machine.
Retreats went out.
Germany’s Belgium army retreated to Ruhr
Germany’s Munich army retreated to Tyrolia
I still need one build order, and then will post that.
JC didn’t capture Portugal so much as he ran smack into it because he misjudged the corner at Gibraltar.
I’m sorry. What with sending in the minime build, getting the 1099 adjudication out, all that stuff this morning I failed to forward myself the Minime adjudication. Would somebody forward it to me at inthetank2001@yahoo.com again so I can heckle people from work? I’m hoping for a slow day here today.
Abe, you got my build, right?
The webpage has been updated including the map with retreats already executed. I believe all builds are in as well, so once AB gets them sent out I’ll plug them in and post the winter map and results including next year’s deadlines as provided.
Enjoy.
WL, see theMini-Me Webpage here.
I’ll just plan on cc’ing your yahoo account as well from now on, WL. That do ya?
Please do heckle. Other than Shibb, the only razzing is whose game is cooler. An we don’t need to get into that.
Schmoove. You da man, Omni. Merci.
Abe, I tried to get into that with you, but I just couldn’t figure out where I stood on the issue. I mean, 1099 is clearly a better game from a purely administrative standpoint, but obviously it would be folly to argue that the players are of a higher caliber than those of Minime.
I’m just so conflicted about the whole thing.
I had been trying to avoid having them all sent to my yahoo account because I was getting close to my space limit there, but I cleaned it out. So I guess this is by way of a ‘thank you’ for adding my yahoo account to the mailing list.
Better from an administrative standpoint?
When we had an error in Mini-me, we worked through it. Dip 1099 has a snafu and shuts down. It’s like the Windows of the Diplomacy world.
And I refer to 1099 as It That Must Not Be Named.
Hey, if you don’t watch out it’ll be Dip 1099: Abe’s Butt.
Winter page has been updated.
As a neutral party, I’d have to say that so far 1099 - Get Smart has been more drama and humor, but the fighting in Minime has been more intense. As for administration, I might have to give the nod to Omni in his GM debut, especially for his careful explanation of the orders in his last note.
Well, gee, thanks Shibbs.
[sub]bow before me plebes![/sub]
I’ll have to see Omni’s letter before making any decisions on that.
The Noob game definitely has the best smack talk going around, though.
I [sub]bobble[/sub] disagree. [sub]bobble[/sub] I [sub]bobble[/sub] think [sub]bobble[/sub] it [sub]bobble[/sub] has [sub]bobble[/sub] a [sub]bobble[/sub] perfectly [sub]bobble[/sub] fine [sub]bobble[/sub] name. [sub]bobble[/sub] [sub]bobble[/sub] [sub]bobble[/sub] [sub]bobble[/sub] [sub]bobble[/sub]
Didja know that France and I were allies? Makes it even more interesting, doesn’t it?
