Spring 1905 in Dip 936 has been adjudicated.
Enjoy!
Some of you.
Waverly, you really should warn me before you try a move with so little chance of success like that one. If I’d known three of your fleets would be tied up in a hopeless attack on London, I could have taken much better advantage than I did 
Math Geek: It wasn’t so much an attack as it was a hunch you would try to move London to the continent. No matter. You aren’t going anywhere soon. Had I known you were willing to sacrifice so much for the N. Sea, I’d have relieved of your Norwegian responsibilities.
“Sacrificed”, my butt. I was prepared for an attack on Norway (as prepared as I could be, at any rate). Heck, I was expecting it: the assault on the North Sea was actually a hedge against that possibility. If I’d known you were trying shots in the dark, I would have relieved you of your Belgian responsibilities.
Of course, now that I do have the North Sea I have so many interesting choices for the fall turn…
Great. We have these two people firing guns at each other in the dark.
Turn on a damn light, whydontcha?

Aw, come on, RTFirefly. Surely your Missus won’t mind a little virtual paddling between friends. :innocent eyes:
Ooops, I forgot to add. . .
I’ll even let Mrs. RTFirefly borrow my virtual paddle for those times when you’re especially naughty. Now how can she say no to that. [giggle]
Hey, you wanna see shooting in the dark, try my house these days.
OK, I don’t own a gun. My mom’s good with her .45, though. Me? I prefer the ‘blunt instrument’ approach myself.

Is it just me, or is it a bit warm in here?

A small administrative issue…
RT? Abe? Those yahoo accounts are bouncing for me, boys.
Any ideas?
I’ve had not trouble with other people, and even got a letter from you today successfully.
Lemmee know if this still doesn’t work tomorrow.
Last incoming email I got there was at 8am, but outgoing email seems to work OK. But if you’ve sent me any emails today, please re-send to the email I list here on the SDMB.
I’ve sent an email to that effect from the Yahoo! account to all players. Someone let me know if they received it, OK?
And on the subject of email: Weirddave, could you please drop me a line to let me know if you’ve received either of my last two letters? I may be experiencing email hiccoughs.
Thanks.
Man, I’m glad I checked…chique, your e-mail’s bouncing. Yahoo’s mail server claims your account has been “disabled or discontinued”. Is everything all right?
Yeah, it appears to be a problem with yahoo mail!
Get a real mail server!
Jeebus people, don’t hate me because I’m beautiful and control your lands. Hate me because I’m an obnoxious prick.
Abe: you just climbed into the commode and pulled the chain, buddy.

In between razzing each other, I’ve got some questions for the multitudes that have played Dip:
-
About how many times have you played Dip:
a) online (email)
b) FTF
c) postal -
For each of the above that apply, how many games have you been in that have had a winner (18 bases)?
(If you remember, which countries won?) -
How many games have you won?
1a) I’m guessing I’ve played 12-15 games FTF (it was a long time ago).
1bc) Dip 983 is my fifth email Dip game; I’ve never played postal.
-
There were winners in 2 of the FTF games. Austria both times.
-
I’ve been in some DsIAS, but have never won outright.
