28 Apr 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: Welcome to the game, Bernd! About time... haha.
28 Apr 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: Also, Mike, since people understand this map well, it could be good to post a link here in global to that website with write-ups on each nation's opener and general strategy. The one you showed me when I started. I can't seem to find that site though.
28 Apr 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/strategy.htm
28 Apr 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: Also FYI to everyone.. The cardinal rule in diplomacy is that what happened in previous games doesn't play into the next game. Thus there is to be no making of deals outside of this game to other games that may or may not yet be in progress. Each game is to be played as its own entity with no grudges or retribution based on previous outcomes. That is termed meta-gaming and we strictly forbid that on this site. Just thought I'd make that clear.
29 Apr 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: What is the deal with me getting the only country on the map that is known as the "Mother"land....????? Haha!!! Also, I hate the color purple, but I'm not complaining...
03 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1901: He's still got a day, but since it's still early we might want to extend a day for Bernd like we did in the other game for the first weekend. I'm not sure he's going to make it by tomorrow afternoon.
04 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Ok, I bumped it by 1 day.
05 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Hmmm, I wonder if I should make you all wait for me to ready.....??
05 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1901: You don't even have a choice to make!
05 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Ha! You're right, but I knew it would be you to respond....... :P
08 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Hmmm, I wonder if I should make you all wait for me to ready.....??
08 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Silly refresh.. Sorry!
13 May 14 UTC	Spring, 1902: Ready up?
17 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Would everyone be okay with having shorter retreat phases?
17 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Yes, ideally everyone ready's when they've decided on a retreat path. However, in this case, Sal is just slow to check and hasn't been on since yesterday.
17 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1902: I see.
22 May 14 UTC	Spring, 1903: Can we extend this phase by a day or two? I will be out of town until Sunday night, and I don't know if I'll remember to get online.
22 May 14 UTC	Spring, 1903: GameMaster: Russia voted for a Extend. If 2/3 of the active players vote Extend the the current phase will be extend by 4 days. Please consider backing this. If the majority is not reached by "Spring, 1904" the votes will be cleared.
25 May 14 UTC	Spring, 1903: Looking as if Italy might NMR... (No moves returned) I'm not 100% sure how the settings I put in place handle this, but since this is no longer first turn of the game or the game joining stage, I will not be extending using my mod powers to extend (as that is influencing the either in my favor or not in my favor), unless everyone agrees that we want zero NMR's moving forward. In this case it is too late to get that consent from everyone. Thus for now we simply need 2 more extend votes in 36 minutes.. Not likely!
26 May 14 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Sorry, a bad stomach virus whipped through my house over the last five days, and it seems like all I have been doing is cleaning up messes from the kiddos. Anyways my moves are in, but it isn't fair since I can see the moves of others. You can hold my stuff in place for the missed turn.
