13 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: 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.
14 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: Looks like Italy has lost interest... 3- mins out and still no orders from him.
14 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: Joined this site on Friday, started in this and a couple of other games, last visited the site on Saturday morning, sent 1 message and thats it...

14 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: >sigh<
14 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: GameMaster: DaveSpermbank has taken over Italian Empire replacing "Captainflaime". Reconsider your alliances.
14 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: yo yo yo!
14 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: could someone fill me in?
14 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: looks like I have some opportunties for expansion, hmm
14 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1939: Greetings new Italy.
17 Feb 21 UTC Spring, 1940: Quick question... Carleon and Knollohr - you've played in every game together that you've been on this site. You also joined on consecutive days - 3 & 4/11. Can you please confirm that you are not RL friends or colluding? I am not accusing, just asking politely.
17 Feb 21 UTC Spring, 1940: Damn son, that's not good
17 Feb 21 UTC Spring, 1940: Yeah, because he introduced me into vDiplomacy and we played (or tried to play) with other friends... that didn't work out, so we searched a public game to play, but we are not colluding in any case outside of what is acceptable and/or comprehensible...
17 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1940: lmaoooooooo
17 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1940: I mean I personally don't care if they're colluding or not. Especially in the larger games, people often exchange info on discord servers, so collusion is inevitable imo.
17 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1940: If people are communicating about the games and their joint actions out of the game channels it gives tremendous advantage to them and the MODS will stamp that out, if the evidence is there. I've seen it several times in my 180+ games on this server.

We are all limited by our understandings of each other entirely within the context of vDip and in this case, where we are all not anon, we might know of another player from other games... for example, DaveS and I have played 3 or 4 other games together... although I don't think we've ever been allied. Thats ok, that's normal and is a good reason to work to developing a certain rep (or not to develop one lol).

If a player is introduced by a friend, thats fine, but best not to play every game together, right?
19 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1940: It appears that Japan no longer wishes to play - was it something I said?
19 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1940: GameMaster: EmpirePlayer has taken over Japanese Empire replacing "Carleon". Reconsider your alliances.
19 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1940: Hello, saw the open spot, so I jumped in... though I must admit that does look a bit tight a spot.
19 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1940: Welcome in :-)
