Diplomacy: URLDT

[calandale]

Can't play. Just heckle. Sorry.

 

[Merentha]

If it really becomes necessary, I have a real-lif friend who's interested.  He'd have to register, but if its alright he could join up and play for Prince.  Otherwise we could continue to wait, your call.

 

[Sir. Velmu]

It would be great, if he could join! None of my friends would


And cal, I was merely joking, you already said that you couldn't play. I don't want to push anyone

 

[Adaham]

Ok, but since Turkey also still needs to make a plan, I hope he could come on soon. Not that I'm in the rush, but by now most countries have propably already made their moves.

 

[Sir. Velmu]

Actually you all have made your moves. They can be chanced until the last moment, though.

 

[leprechaun]

Gah. Deadlines being tooo flexible here, perhaps?

 

[Sir. Velmu]

To flexible? It was set before we even knew who was going to take care of Turkey!!

 

[leprechaun]

That's no excuse! 

 

[Adaham]

But an explanation...

 

[Sir. Velmu]

Finally we have our first turn played! the next deadline could be set to the next Friday (June 15).


Here's the current map:

By this, it would look like the Balkans are going to reach the boilingpoint soon. We'll see.

 

[Drachenfaust]

Would you mind posting the orders so we can see what (if anything) failed?  It probably isn't much of an issue right now, but it will be vital information in the upcoming years.

 

[Sir. Velmu]

Yeah, I was meant to do that in this one already, but as none of the moves failed, I didn't bother
In future turns, there will be all he moves stated with the map.

 

[An4Sh]

Two questions, is this always gonna take this long and why the hell didn't you move my fleet?

 

[Sir. Velmu]

Move your fleet where?

And no, this is supposed to take only a couple of days/turn max.

 

[Cirdan]

Both of your fleets have moved, An4sh--Fleet St.Petersburg -> Finland and Fleet Sevastopol -> Romania. You must be misreading the map.

 

[Drachenfaust]

Don't feel too bad... I did a double-take when I saw the map too.  It's easy to read once you memorize the map-key.  If all else fails, just repeat the following mantra:

The big blobs are not my armies.
The big blobs are not my armies.
The big blobs are not my armies.
The big blobs are not my armies.
The big blobs are not my armies.
The big blobs are not my armies.

 

[An4Sh]

Wish you'd change the map to the one you showed me earlier.

 

[Sir. Velmu]

I would, but as there are the names of the provinces included, it would be even more complicated to fit the troop markings in.

 

[Merentha]

Well, a decisive move by Turkey there.  Interesting.

 

[Voutare]

I wouldn't mind jumping in here for the next game, but I have no idea how to play.
