Hey Sand, is that Metallica on the RS cover in your avatar?

If it's the one I think you're talking about... It's Dave Matthews Band.

Gentlemen:

I forgot how much fun this game is!!!;)  

I am sure I've already been lied to about 12 times!:D ;)  

Seriously though, is everyone okay with the three-day-between- moves time frame.  It seems slow but I won't seek to shorten it if everyone else is happy with it.

Also, I assume everyone is making communication through the judge, as opposed to otherwise.  Have we outlawed outside email communication?  I won't be doing it since the judge does a nice job of keeping track of things for me. I was just wondering!

GL all!

Except for Sand being able to read the emails sent via the judge, I'm not sure what the difference is between going through it and emailing someone directly. Rather, there is none. So, I dunno why anyone would feel the need to email someone directly.

I reckon that because Sand has to sit out and babysit us he should at least get the voyeuristic fun of watching you guys backstab eachother (I of course am above all that).

3 days is actually not that slow... when ya consider that some moves may rely on a lot of back and forth negotiations... it will probably not be enough time in a few cases I bet.

If possible, please use the judge. This way, I get to read everything. It's kinda fun reading all of the lies and double-talk.

Good Idea

Sandman:

As the master, you can see everything.  It would be a great idea if you could track, with a short summary, all the lies, deceptions, and changes of positions, i.e. germany has told France that it will help them against Russia and vice versa.  It would make very  interesting reading.

I will use only the Judge sol Sandy get's his kicks too!.

See you round the world!

That sounds like a lot of work... Hopefully I'm not overcome by it. :)

No biggie either way.  Just thought it might be interesting in retrospect!
Thanks for mastering!

I'm not saying I can't... Imagine a heavy sigh as I count the number of hours of sleep I did not get last night. :)


It's a good idea... maybe I'll secretly write a website and after it's all said and done, it might be fun to read. :)

Sandman, in my only other game of Diplomacy, one of the most entertaining aspects of it is the Master's analysis after each turn(after all retreats have been performed). It would be interesting to see your analysis of what's going on, who's growing, who's on their way out, etc...

Of course, you would be analyzing from only the moves on the board, and not your insider info. ;)

If you did that, the AH community would have the opportunity to add their two cents in, and it could get fun in a hurry.

Yeah.. that'd be very cool. Plus for guys like me who are rookies and don't know a whole lot, it'd be a great thing to learn from.

At the very least though, just saving all the emails in a seperate folder or something, sorting them by date and making them available to us to read afterwards would be swell.

One downside... All my email before June 7 evaporated.

BTW why is Syz sending messages in couplet fashion like he's paraphrazing Hamlet? This is 1901 afterall. The 'doth, thoust and wouldst' dropped out of usage centuries before. :D

We need to create an AAR-taunt thread.

Sandman...that would be your job :)
