14 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 2021: GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders.
27 Mar 20 UTC	Spring, 2026: GameMaster: Netherlands 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.
02 Jul 20 UTC	[Portugal]:Calling the game here. While I could have taken out Netherlands, I do not believe a solo run was feasible for me, now am I really willing to play it out just for a few extra points. At the end of the day, I worked extremely well with Netherlands against Ireland, and while I sensed both of us were going to end up stabbing the other as a result of a lack of a mutual enemy, I never held it against him given how large I was growing. From the mid-game, I had already decided I wanted a five way draw and was just waiting on the elimination of several smaller states, as well as for Serbia's draw vote. This is, to me, just a return to my original plan. Well played all.
02 Jul 20 UTC	[Ukraine]:Good game all! I’d forgotten that I was in this, given how quickly I was eliminated. I like this map, but I don’t think one can really argue that Ukraine has a great starting position...
02 Jul 20 UTC	[Netherlands]:Wow, thanks for keeping me alive, Portugal. This was a difficult game for me, but at the end had resigned myself to being killed.
02 Jul 20 UTC	[Serbia]:All I wanted out of this game was to kill Turkey and Italy at a certain point, and I was fairly convinced I could pull it off, and I didn't want to draw when I knew it was possible. @Russia when I initially attacked you, it was to secure more fleets to flank Turkey and secure dominance of the black sea, which I achieved. Later on, I was playing to see if I can hold that and try to a convoy a unit to DNT, which i think could have allowed a breakthrough. Ultimately, my chance of breaking through wasn't that good conpared to Portugals. Took Georgian centers from you to hold against them. @Czechia you were a great ally this game. Could not have done this well without you allowing me to not worry about my northern border. @Turkey you had to die. All, in all, fantastic game, though it dragged on near the end. Glad to be back above 1000
02 Jul 20 UTC	[Serbia]:On an interesting side stat note, 3 out of the 7 lowest starting ratings in the game made it into the final 5 player draw, despite how many high scores there are this match
02 Jul 20 UTC	[Lithuania]:@ukraine : think your attack on me...killed is both. Czechia , Russia and serbia have to thank you. But...is just a game. Nice map ! Gratulation to the 5 „survivers“ :-) Well played !
02 Jul 20 UTC	[Russia]:yes, well played all!
02 Jul 20 UTC	[Ukraine]:@Lithuania, surely you don’t mean me? I got gobbled up by Romania nearly immediately; I don’t think I ever interacted with you.
03 Jul 20 UTC	[Georgia]:I held out far longer than I should have. I really wish that Russia didn't attack, as I knew Serbia would end up taking my centers.
03 Jul 20 UTC	[Portugal]:Sorry Georgia you were always going to die. I wasn't going to draw with you alive, don't really have a personal relationship with you to justify your survival
03 Jul 20 UTC	[Lithuania]:@Ukraine: upps. Sorry. You are right - Romania was the „bad boy“ :-) Was á bit confused about those many, many states.
03 Jul 20 UTC	[Russia]:Yeah, Georgia only survived because they are impossible to attack from the north because Grozny is 1 territory against 3 centers. It was only when I had naval control that I could take it. Quick question - I was transferring from Navy to Army while trying to take control of a center in Autumn, but it seemed like it did not work. Does transferring interfere with center control?
03 Jul 20 UTC	[Serbia]:Visual error, russia, known bug with that specific center. Georgia lost a unit+center if you looked at bottom
03 Jul 20 UTC	[Russia]:Ah, I was so confused! Thank you, Argyle!
04 Jul 20 UTC	[Czechia]:Good game all. Thanks to Serbia for the game long alliance (though admittedly I almost stabbed twice) Poland has a horrible position in this particular map imho
