20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: I do just want to say that this map is awful and stupid unbalanced, but anyways good to be here thanks for inviting me
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Kind of like the real world then! Ok, ok, balance is always nice, but a lot of powers in this one, so if you're thrown into a bad situation, there's a lot of possibilities on how to get out of it.
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Nice to have you aboard!
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: This map is stupidly unbalanced but I enjoy it a lot anyway lol
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Last game I played on this map I got crushed by all my neighbors right at the start, hoping for a slightly longer lasting game for me this time around lol
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Remember: Gang up on England, Germany, Czechia, Serbia, and Russia, unless I'm one of those in which case do not gang up on the one I am
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Nothing like a little pre-Diplomacy diplomacy!
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: I wish they made this a no neutrals variant and just did every country in Europe
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: But those are my favorite allies?
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: I think I remember there being something broken about this map from before - in the programming sense, not balance. Does anyone know what it is (or am I misremembering?)
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: At the very least there's a number of provinces with unaligned interactive map provinces, some provinces that don't change color when entered, and I'm pretty sure you can built a fleet in Madrid
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Looking at stats, no fun to be Poland or Rumania.
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Can you pass that info about the broken features you know of onto the mods?
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Is the name of this game based on a Pink Floyd song?
20 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: You bet your floating pig baloon: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nYAYn7pyues Us and them And after all We're only ordinary men Me and you God only knows it's not what We would choose to do "Forward", he cried from the rear And the front rank died The general sat and the lines on the map Moved from side to side Black and blue And who knows which is which And who is who Up and down And in the end It's only round and round, and round "Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?" The poster bearer cried "Listen, son", said the man with the gun "There's room for you inside" They're not gonna kill ya So like, if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock, they won't do it again Dig it? I mean he got off lightly 'cause I would've given him a thrashing I only hit him once It was only a difference of right and wrong, innit? But really, I mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they, eh? Down and out It can't be helped But there's a lot of it about With, without And who'll deny It's what the fighting's all about Out of the way it's a busy day I've got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died
21 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Poland and Rumania could be interesting to play with players who are willing to actually discuss things and provide space to work with an ally. Too many games I play are played gunboat after turn one diplomacy reveals alliances. No spirit of trying to play a game where you talk to another human.
21 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: Will send out 8 more invites to past players in this series tomorrow, give 24 hrs for response, and then repeat until the game is filled.
21 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: so you only get an initial build on your supply centers not in a box?
21 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: yes
22 Mar 24 UTC	Spring, 2020: No fun being Poland... sounds very accurate to history.
