Already with the intriguing developments. Doesn’t look too good for Austria, Russia looks well set, not sure about this new Italian thing yet. Now I have to figure out who is playing which countries.
Just in case there are any other armchair QBs like me watching this game, here’s a repeat of the who’s who:
Shnitte - Turkey
JC - Italy
Omniscient - Russia
ppg_shg - England
Weirddave - Austria
Steve Enzor - Germany
WL - France
Wow, just noticed that Germany got the quick start there. Can he hold this early lead if Austria goes under and it leaves a power vacuum to the south? Are Turkey and Russia playing a juggernaut? Can Austria survive a double Russian-Turkish attack? If not how will that affect Italy, as he moves on France? Lots of fun questions to be answered.
One question I want answered is what happened to my orders? I’m waiting on Abe’s reply.
Oh, great, now I can’t even post!
Abe, I’ve sent you about a half dozen emails in the last day, have you received them? Please email me, us the addy in my profile if you’re having problems with the NASEDave one.
(Holds breath and hopes THIS post goes through)
I never received a revised set of orders. Just the ones used which I got late on Friday.
Where’s those builds?
grumbles furtively
Sent mine in days ago.
There was apparently a snafu with Dave’s orders. An email has been sent to you, asking for a vote on something.
If the vote turns out negative, the builds I have from people I will use unless they submit revised ones. If the vote is positive, Winter builds will be due on Wednesday, unless I receive everybody’s earlier.
Anyone for tea and crumpets?
Tea would be nice.
English cakes give me the crumps, though.
And makes me a grump.
At least you don’t look like a frump.
Orders due tomorrow, ladies. Get 'em in or wait until Sunday night for adjudication.
We are still awaiting orders from two individuals. Let’s go, folks.
Adjudications have been sent out. There’s one country with a retreat.
FYI, I’ve set up a pretty simple webpage for “Mini-Me”. If Abe Babe gets me the RP orders for each turn I’ll toss them in there too, just like on “-GRY”. Hopefully this will inspire a little bit of noise from the peanut gallery. I’m missing the chatter that 10(W-)40 “Free State” inspired.
Here she is:
Speaking of chatter, has anyone spotted GoAlien lately?
Maybe we should require the Newbie Dip participants to give their comments on this Dip as a rite of passage, then grade on accuracy?
I love this idea.
Omni, the ‘Current Status’ noted in the Power list at the top of that website hasn’t been updated to reflect W01 adjustments.
Thanks, btw.
Thanks, Omniscient!
Just one little slip: In that table on the front page, there seems to be some little error: Both years are labelled 1901.
Thanks for the proof-reading, it was late last night when I did it. Those two things are fixed.
Oh, and I’m seriously missing Go Alien’s feedback.
I’m a little bummed, I’m playing in this game, and I’m trying to wear the professional, impartial mantle as GM of the other game, so I can’t really heckle.
