08 Apr 17 UTC	Spring, 1939: (Technostar): (I know it'll go away once the game starts)
08 Apr 17 UTC	Spring, 1939: (slypups): Good luck all - hopefully the final two players fill this out and we don't have first round NMRs to delay it further.
08 Apr 17 UTC	Spring, 1939: (slypups): Kind of cool that you can actually land on Iceland in this map, compared to the unnamed blob in Classic which looks big enough to be a territory you can occupy, but you can't.
18 Apr 17 UTC	Spring, 1942: GameMaster: Someone has taken over Turkey replacing "Diplomat69". Reconsider your alliances.
26 Apr 17 UTC	Autumn, 1944: GameMaster: Britain voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
27 Apr 17 UTC	Autumn, 1944: GameMaster: Britain voted for a Cancel. If everyone votes Cancel all points will be refunded and the game will be deleted from the database.
20 May 17 UTC	Autumn, 1948: GameMaster: Turkey voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
27 May 17 UTC	Thank you for the game.
27 May 17 UTC	Yep thanks all - Turk, somehow you made it through!
27 May 17 UTC	Germany - I thought the stab might come, but you got me me a turn before I was really ready
27 May 17 UTC	Good game!
27 May 17 UTC	I had no way of beating my way through that British line at the end, so I decided to just take the draw as it was.
27 May 17 UTC	As for reflection, the early game was dominated by the peace between Germany, Italy, and me. Britain certainly helped me out quite a bit against Spain, though he expanded in a direction that was easy for me to attack. I was surprised the triple alliance lasted as long as it did. I think the most fun part of this game for me was sneaking units into the British middle east. I just love how SAO, RS, and PG are all connected. By the way, may I ask who created this game?
27 May 17 UTC	Also, I thought PPSC meant that points were distributed based on SC count in the event of a draw or win. Is that not the case?
27 May 17 UTC	Nope - both PPSC and WTA split points evenly in a draw, it is only per supply center where there is a win. So even if you lose in PPSC, you'll get some points. In WTA, everything goes to the winner, so there is greater incentive to stop a solo. In PPSC, you may be ok with letting someone solo as long as you pick up enough SCs to satisfy yourself. So pretty surprising Turkey survived here.
27 May 17 UTC	Strange, it's the opposite way around in WebDip's sum-of-squares scoring system. Draws are split proportionally while solos take all. I probably would've tried to kill of Turkey before taking a draw had I known that it's different here.
27 May 17 UTC	That was a good game. I was hoping the alliance between IT and F might brake. As i realized that this wont happened i decided that i cant play for the win. So i let Russia alive as a small allie in the southeast. Italy you was really surprised of my attack? Some rounds before my attack I give SM for Russia... Good game everyone. It was fun.
27 May 17 UTC	Not terribly surprised, just should've acted a turn earlier
28 May 17 UTC	Also Wbdip rules just recently changed, we have the long standing PPSC rules here
