08 Mar 22 UTC	Autumn, 1861: [Japan]:We, the Meiji Emperor, Esteemed and Divine Occupant of the Chysanthemum Throne, wish to express in our strongest terms that we lay zero claim to the esteemed state of Bavaria.
08 Mar 22 UTC	Autumn, 1861: [CSA]:And I, Jefferson Davis, Esteemed President of the Only Nation Allowed to Market Corn Liquor as Bourbon, wish to express in our strongest terms that we consider Bavaria to be an integral part of somebody else’s empire.
08 Mar 22 UTC	Autumn, 1861: [France]:Bavaria is a dangerous place to get to.
08 Mar 22 UTC	Autumn, 1861: [Prussia]:The State Of Prussia acknowledges the deep and ancient claims of the Meiji Emperor on the unfathomably valuable lands of Bavaria. Recognizing these claims and the untold destruction that could befall them should glorious Bavaria be allowed to remain neutral and thus subject to the whims of its destructive and brutish neighbors, The State Of Prussia volunteers to occupy the Lands in safekeeping until such time as the Meiji Emperor is in position to schedule a conquest.
22 Mar 22 UTC	Spring, 1864: GameMaster: USA voted for a Pause. If everyone votes Pause the game stop and wait till everybody votes Unpause. Please consider backing this.
23 Mar 22 UTC	Spring, 1864: [Russia]:Is pressing Pause all that is needed to vote?
23 Mar 22 UTC	Spring, 1864: [USA]:Yep, and press it again to withdraw the vote.
25 Mar 22 UTC	Autumn, 1864: GameMaster: Russia voted for a Pause. If everyone votes Pause the game stop and wait till everybody votes Unpause. Please consider backing this.
26 Mar 22 UTC	Autumn, 1864: [USA]:Do you need us to pause for something, or was that a test run?
27 Mar 22 UTC	Autumn, 1864: [Russia]:I dunno. USA voted Pause, I had no reason to, but thought, "meh, what's it gonna hurt?" Why did we press pause USA?
27 Mar 22 UTC	Autumn, 1864: [USA]:Well, because Britain was being oppressed by the Industrial Revolution and late-stage capitalism and had to scramble to write orders for the Spring phase just after work ended. That was an attempt to relieve the pressure. (He turned out okay. Well, no he didn't but the orders went through on time.)
06 Apr 22 UTC	Spring, 1866: GameMaster: Russia voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Concede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat.
06 Apr 22 UTC	Spring, 1866: [Russia]:hmm, trying to drop out so that Clay can take over. I'm guessing this isn't how it is done. lol.
06 Apr 22 UTC	Spring, 1866: [Russia]:Any better suggestions guys?
06 Apr 22 UTC	Spring, 1866: [Russia]:Ok guys, Clay has now taken over this account. Russia is now under new management.
06 Apr 22 UTC	Spring, 1866: [Russia]:I have no idea what I'm doing yet, please be gentle. I've never played Diplomacy before...
06 Apr 22 UTC	Spring, 1866: [USA]:sounds like this is more or less cleared up?
29 Apr 22 UTC	Autumn, 1869: GameMaster: CSA 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.
29 Apr 22 UTC	Autumn, 1869: [CSA]:I think this is a reasonable choice for us all to make, together, at this time.
09 May 22 UTC	Autumn, 1870: GameMaster: Japan 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.
