03 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Hey guys how everyone doin'
03 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Doing great. How about you?
03 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: I'm doin' good! Excited for the game!
03 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Have a good game !
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: This is a really interesting map because it's really symmetrical in an asymmetrical way. A lot of powers on the board have opening moves which are really "zero-sum," where they just take resources from other powers or have to fight directly over centers with other powers. Hungary and Byzantium over Ser for instance. Feels really like cooperation is so so key here.
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Obv cooperation is the name of the game in Diplomacy but like-moreso than anything it's all such tight margins you really need to be good at coordination.
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Plus with the low solo SC count means betraying your friends at the end isn't a bad idea
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Yeah. So I guess we all have to be pretty careful here.
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Crazy you only need 1/3rds of centers to solo.
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Yep. I've played this variant once and went for a late solo that everyone else defeated through amazing coordination, but it ended as a 4 way (basically lowest possible draw)
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: That's such an interesting game. I think this will be really fun! I wish they fiddled with the crusades bit tho-can all set a challenge to see who takes Jerusalem.
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Uhh, no offense Fatimids.
04 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: (Ayyubids actually)

05 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Oh yes sorry Ayyubids
05 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: The righteousness of Islam shall triumph over the decadent Christians (no offence taken)!
05 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: Something something crusade and whatnot
05 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: 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.

07 Apr 24 UTC Spring, 1201: GameMaster: Lucadic has taken over Byzantine Empire replacing "wjdmann26". Reconsider your alliances.
