Message from Observer to Observer
It's late, and I really ought to be going to bed, but I just flipped
through the first and last month's worth of press, and figured I'd
get whatever post-elimination conversation is going to happen going
by offering a few thoughts of my own.
1. The end press thing really was a newbie mistake. I had assumed
powers in a few games before comments, but this was my first start
(and now, first finish...still going strong in a few over on USIN).
2. It was interesting to see the split of opinion on my generic
openings to F and G. In the game that I've started since as E, I
sent greetings emails rather than "let's attack X together" presses.
France didn't respond for three days, Germany responded right away,
and it's still EG in 1905.
3. Why the surrender? Mostly because I'm too new at this to
realistically hope for a solo, and I know it. I felt from word "go"
like I needed a partner to have a realistic chance. When G stabbed,
there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. France and I got on
for a couple years, but I can't imagine anyone being a more annoying
compatriot than Tamas. (Yes, he'll read this later. It's the God's
honest truth, though.) I felt the whole time like he was running the
show and I didn't have much room to push back. The stab of Germany
on the retreat phase of 19-0-whatever was my bid to establish a
little independence and maybe shift from a French bent to an Italian
one. When France stabbed right afterwards, though, there was wailing
and gnashing of teeth and no real recourse. I couldn't turn back to
Germany, having just stabbed him, for the same reasons that I didn't
want to turn back to France after the (second) abortive E/G/I. So
that left me in horrible position (F army on E soil, G navy in north,
RG cooperation) and no attractive way out. I wanted Germany to find
a way to get as many of my centres as possible because...well,
because he's not Tamas. See earlier discussion on that point.
Didn't really pan out, though.
All right...it's now even later, and I'm even more tired. I'll check
in tomorrow and see if there's a flurry of questioning. Please offer
criticisms...they'll be well received and -hopefully- learned from.
Yours,
Dave (England)

Now that you are in the Ionian, and given the large French presence,

Also, if i help to work it such that you get Venice back, do you have
a problem with me getting Tri? I would like to help you get Venice so
that you can use your fleets to defend against France

Message from Austria to Italy
So what changed your mind....or made it up for you
Message from Italy to Austria
Well, it was your talk that you did not want our units intermingling.
As I mentioned last night, I see 3 options for my A Ber, should I have
kept it
1. I work with G and R to fight France. Maybe in that scenario it travels
to Holland via Kiel.
2. I work with F against G. Maybe I take his support to Munich.
3. I send it to Sil and then Boh or Gal to help you fight back Turkey.
None of those options seemed feasible. 1 causes France to attack in the
MEd. 2 causes France to get insanely big in the north. And you just shot
down 3.
So, barring that, I thought I'd just remove it and pray Germany doesn't
want ANOTHER unusable build.
I still have no plans of ordering Tus-Ven in spring, and will only order
it in fall if we can agree that it will not cause you to be overrun with
Turkey. Remember I have just as much a vested interest in Turkey not
overrunning you as you do (i.e. because I'd be next).
I'd still like to see Ven-Tri (instead of Ven S Tyl-Tri). I will either
move Tus-Rom or Tus-Pie (or maybe Tus H)

Well, if you want me to defend against France, you may want me to have
more than 4 supply centers. But at this point, givem that you're about
twice as big as me, I'll take whatever scraps you want to throw me, ya
know?
Message from Italy to Germany and Russia
Gentlemen. As you can see, I have opted to remove myself from the
northern front. I wish you well against the French.
I expect that you will just take Berlin anyways, but I think that you both
have a vested interest in not seeing France and/or Turkey run away with
this game. Leaving Berlin in my hand (at least another year so I can pick
up a center to replace it) I think directly correlates to that.
But I leave it in your hands...

Well, i can't get to help you into Trieste until i get to the
adriatic or Trieste..which isn't probably going to be this turn.
however, unless that English fleet in Brest makes it down, you'll
have an advantage over him in the South.
Also, my offer still stands that you could use one of my fleets. One
could be spared..and isn't doing anything right now. I would love to
have it past your defenses, attacking France.

Message from France to Turkey
Dear Sultan,
I am somewhat puzzled by your last message. I understand
what you are saying and I indeed anticipated that in my
previous email to you. But I am probably too hard headed to
understand what our situation is now. Would you be so kind
as to let me know:
1. whether you are still interested in the 2WD and if not
then why and then how would you describe the goal for you
in this game,
2. whether you are interested in cooperating with me or
not.
On a side note, I'd like to ask you stopping this
"whishy-washy" argument. Both of us have played this game
before and we both know that when Turkey has 22 unit orders
in the game next to ION then blaming France for not taking
it is at least quite funny. Especially in light of the
centers in question are of Turkish intereste. (I must admit
at the same time that your approach is one which I have
never seen played before as I have always thought that ION
_is_ the main target of a Turkey who has any ambitions.) In
any case, I suggest that we quit this near-insane argument
which fools noone and serves no useful purpose. Thanks.
Ok, then what are we left with? We cannot fight each other,
so to me it looks somewhat a waste not to cooperate at some
level. I am sure that if you told me what you want, I would
be quite flexible to accomodate your needs. We certainly
can do some great things together instead of letting AI
doing damage against either of us. And I am trying hard to
understand why you are not pushing this when almost all the
gain (balkans, ION) would go to you.
Andy, I do not really know what went wrong between us. For
anything you think I screwed up I apologize, clearly the two
of us do not have an identical view of the game. But we
appeared to have an excellent start: building our
relationship from the beginning to capitalize on in the
midgame later, and we are at this very point and we should
not miss this train.
What do you think ?

I am not sure exactly what you have in mind?
Like you, I am trying to increase the size of my holdings and my
position. Of course it is going a little slower than you because I
have 3 really good players surrounding me.

Message from France to Russia
Nicky,
How is it going? I hope to get some reply from you to my
last message before the turn. In case you are busy, here
are a few concrete questions:
* Are you still working with Germany?
* If yes, is there anything we can solve diplomatically
rather than drawing each other's blood?
* If no, how could I help you?
* Would you object me trying for London in the near future
(not necessarily this year though)
* Can you promise not to support G to Hol this turn?
* Are you planning to stay on NTH?
* Are you interested in Edi-NTH-Den so that you can safely
take Edi in the fall as well as me defending any of your
Scandinavian gains against the Kaiser's madness?
I could ask more but they are just different ways of saying
"what's up?"

It means the following. I am all for the 2WD and it is most
clear that 2WD means France-Turkey. There are no other
options on the board. This is not true for the larger
draws, which are still possible in various flavors and
although I would really love to end the game with you rather
than many others around, as long as I am in, I should really
not care much who the rest of the players are. If you say,
let's go for the 2WD then let's clean up the sea between
us. But if you say 3WD then I let you guys fight on the
east and will end the game whoever is the best (and I still
wish it would be you but strategically it is not justifiable
for me to get involved in that).

Well, I was asking what _you_ have in mind. If I were to
decide, I want Italy lose Tunis at least this year. Also
your control of Adr will mean the curtains for Austria. I
suggest moving EAS to ION with three supports (one might be
cut) and if needed I cut the support of one of the Italian
fleets. I also might get to Naf in which case Tun is more
or less guaranteed.

I would rather say that I have been more lucky _recently_
than you. Remember, when we started this you were growing
exponentially when I was still inside France with all my
units. And the last year showed that 5 players are against
France together while you faced little opposition. And
maybe the battle on the Balkans is not that easy, it will
certainly pay off in terms of SC's.
In any case, I would be really surprised if I did not take
off a piece at the end of this year. GR against me
certainly can rid me of Holland and Edi, and if Germany
frees up his home centers at the same time, he will build
two new units. Rest assured, it will be just as tough for
me.

Will you attack Tunis THIS TURN to cut support, so that I can gain the Ionian?

Why????
Never mind... But I almost never lie about actual orders.
If I say that I will cut the support then you can sleep well
without any anxiety.

No, the above will fail if Gre is attacked and Ser-Gre is
quite a sensible move. Look, both of us have some level of
decent relationship with Italy, if we decide to move hard,
it has to be guaranteed success (if there is such a thing -
like in this case).
So it has to be either Alb-Adr, AEG & EAS S Gre-ION, or F
Alb has to take part in the show. Notice that guaranteed
taking of ION in the spring gives us more flexibility in the
fall.

OK, no deal then I guess.
the only other thing I would consider is:
alb-ion
eas,aeg,gre all support alb-ion.
you then attack tunis.
that would guarantee Ion but also guarantee that I am not in ADR.
I would favor taking the chance that serbia won't cut Greece support
and also move Alb-adr
Message from France to Germany
Dear Erik,
No problem, I understand too well what it is like when you
do not have time to even open up the map on the screen.
I will say a few things shortly so that you have something
to work with to submit orders before the deadline.
England has left, you can continue hammering me but it does
not lead us very far. It is your responsability to secure
your place in the draw and I doubt that you disagree: your
only choice is replacing Russia and securing the northern
edge for yourself because two edges are already taken and
the south is no good for you.
I do have things to do. The south is open and I have to go
there to make sure that Turkey does not get past the
stalemate line even if he picks up all the Balkans, which he
will do in few seasons. If you go after Russia and
reestablish our peace then I readily forget what happened
the last two seasons. Deal?
I will try to defend Holland in the spring based on the bad
experience recently. But if I see something like Kie-Bal,
Ruh-Kie or similar then I will give Hol back to you in the
fall. If any of your units move in a western direction,
then I cannot do this.

I think you have your priorities right....hold off France while
trying to convince Russia not to eat you up.
I need a strong ally in one of you such that France doesn't solo. If
Russia decides to attack me, would you be willing to squash him?
While you may give up a little to France, Russia could be eliminated
and you could control the Scand and ST. Pete centers which would
ensure you are around for part of a draw.
Also, if you want, I can try to get italy to remove his lone unit up there.

That would surprise me a great deal. I don't think Austria has any motive
to
support France to Munich, and Austria would have to expect you to try to
throw the game to France if he moved to Munich. We've talked a bit. My
