I was. I appreciate the level-headed commentary.

Yeah, my low reliability comes from getting interrupted by my family during live games. I ought not to have played so many of them.

Hey everybody,
Please calm down.
It's not ok to start name calling on the forum, but it's not ok to start threads dismissing other players on the forum too.
If you do not want to play certain players you can always use the "block"-feature to keep people you can't stand out of your games.
But it's not ok to start flame-wars here on the forum. Thanks for your understanding.

We had a chance but Italy ignored my calls to kill Austria two years earlier and turn towards France and Russia was too fleet heavy in the north. He wanted me to give him an SC the turn he disbanded a fleet, saying he would build an army, but how? He would not have had a build as his net change would have been zero SCs. Italy thought I was just going to stab him, but why? I had just held back and attack by he and Austria and managed to regain ground. I was no solo threat and I'm not an idiot who is going to attack a vital ally in stopping the solo. That's why I hate anon. Anyone who knows me knows I don't attack allies on the border unless they are trying to throw the game to someone else. My biggest mistake was not either convincing Italy to take out Austria quickly or convincing Austria I'd let him live and making him a valued member of the solo stopping alliance.

And maple does deserve the win. Even without the NMR that triggered the concede, at that point he had a solid chance of getting the SCs he needed in the north as Russia refused to listen to me and just sacrifice those fleets and let France have StPete.

Let's settle this on the field of battle. Head to head game, you pick the two person scenario. No points, unrated, WTA of course, 24 hour phases. I've lifted my block to play this. What say you maple, you got the nads to take me on head to head and prove who is the better player?

gameID=20590 For the record, we already have settled this on the field of battle. One on one is not Diplomacy. Nevertheless, a challenge is a challenge, and as a proud Canadian I must accept. I'm the Juggernaut. You're Frankland. Good luck.

What's the password? I can't join without it. PM me the password.

"One on one is not Diplomacy."

Arguably neither are gunboats, but you play those anyway.

Please redirect all flame wars to www.diprepublic.net :)

Be quiet, fool. You caused all this with your horrible play attempting to kill me rather than Italy as we agreed and forcing me to put you down like a rabid dog. :-)

The game is underway for those who wish to watch the beat down.

Already I take a 2 SC lead. Maple picked the map and the nation, so I don't want to hear him whine that he got a raw draw.

Sorry, a 1 SC lead. I took 2 more SCs than he did, but he started with one more than I did.

Now it's a 2 SC lead.

Typical noob, fixated on SCs in the early stages, rather than position.

Victory is mine! Bwahahaha!!!!!

That was so fun, I am making a standing offer to anyone who wishes to try an unrated head to head against me. You pick the scenario and the side. My only rule is 24-48 hour phases so I don't have to play live unless time permits as it did this evening.

That's a pretty unbalanced 1v1. Perhaps you should go head to head with Duo?

^ Agreed. Victory in an unbalanced scenario is not an indicator of being more skilled than your opponent, especially if you are the favored party.

I told you Draugnar, I'll play Russia and you play Germany.

"You pick the scenario and the side."

It was maple's choice of scenarios *and* nations. Defend him all you like, he lost the duel with his own choice of weapons on the piece of ground of his choosing. My honor has been restored and his bragging rights revoked.

Start the game, SY. 24 hour phase minimum and PM me a game link and password. Non-rated (no need for you to lose points and stat numbers when I embarrass you).

Victory is a duel when your opponent gets to choose every aspect of the battleground is a indicator of new honor. If you two wish to try your hand against me, start a game of your choice taking the side of your choice. No points, 24 hour or longer phases. PM me the game I'd and password. Or don't you have the courage to stand by your convictions?

gameID=20603 hahaha

Your laughing but I am holding my own and kept you to two builds while getting two of my.own despite you having better position and more units...

Good game sorry but its over mate.

Yeah, it was a waste of time. There is no way Germany cam keep up with the fleet production of Russia nor does Germany have the ability to grab French or Austrian territory without exposing himself to Russia where as Russia can go for Scandinavia and Balkans, and Turkey with spare fleets and build armies to counter any German press.
