SDMB Newbie Diplomacy game

Yes, it would be highly amusing if France suddenly surrendered to Germany, now that she has her icy clutches around his neck. An unusual courtship to say the least.

sorry guys - delay was my fault.

Jayla it is pronounced with a hard g - a very hard g in fact (Git)

and yes - my name has a hard G too.

its Ga - ree - oos.

Hmm, methinks it is England with the icy clutches around Germany’s neck, not me. An even more unusual courtship. I was just the distraction.

Actually the current neck-clutch is more of the hot, sweaty, suffocating variety. The iciness stems from the Sheffield steel inserted between my 10th and 11th vertebrae.

How could you stab a German with such wonderful prose? It’s the classic ploy, la femme France as the seductress, while the English coolly and efficiently destroys the prey.

I’d call it a ménage à trois really.

The retreats are finally out and I’m calling for adjustments pronto. We’re looking at a Friday 10AM CST deadline for the Spring 1905 turn, so be ready and don’t be late. Hopefully we’ll get those builds in soon enough to make it possible. As always, if anyone has any problems with this let me know sooner than later.

I’ve got to say that this game looks interesting and I have quite a few thoughts I’m itching to share. As GM I’m forced to keep them to myself, so I hope some of you guys manage to chime in with commentary.

The webpage has been updated. Enjoy.

Oh man.

Moscow is a wreck.

Don’t you people know what toilets are? And all of the livestock is now exceedingly skittish.

Sheesh.

Hey - at least i made the trains run on time.

Yes, well, you didn’t have to take them with you when you left.

only the ones that worked.

and hey - it couldn have been a lot worse - didn’t Napoleon burn the place?

ungrateful wretch.

I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned the bodies of your rear-guard that we left impaled throughout the Transylvannian countryside.

I’m too busy packing my bags and preparing for my pretty much inevitable flight to switzerland.

now where did i put my swiss bank account number…

Don’t worry, the Germans will likely have everything there all neat and organized and perhaps even have some Kuchen in the oven before your flight even departs.

don’t think that even a French Veto could save me now :wink:

yeah, whilst you lot are suffering the stresses of government and foreign affairs, we’ll be enjoying the Zurich night-life.

I’ve been to Zurich several times. The nightlife is not all that. And the rents are exorbitant. But if you can get a nice teak hulled skiff on the lake it’s very pleasant.

shouldn’t be a problem - i’ve had a nice little sultan’s slush fund set up for a while now. and there are always plenty of nubile young women ready to fall for an exile like me. :wink:

Well guys, I’m still missing a Build from our jet setting Italian friend, so the game and the deadlines are on hold. Not sure when he said he’d be back, if he mentioned it to any of you please let me know. If I haven’t heard anything by Sunday or so I’m going to start considering an NMR. Hopefully everything will get squared away by then.

Bump

What’s going on with this?

I asked but didn’t get a response on how long Soup would be on his trip. It’s school related, so my guess is a week over spring break, but that’s just a guess.

Just got back. Sending in builds right about now…
