Game 77 Private and Confidential

Recommended Posts

I appreciate everyone's input....and I'm sure I don't have ALL the information on either topic, but I know where the vast majority of Poland's troops are currently. I hope you are right, and I hope he does stick it out, as I much prefer a human opponent. Guess we'll have to see how accurate my claims are (they were never accusations) in a few turns.

 

As for the resource question, the issue has already been identified to Russ, who says it is not uncommon, but that he is inclined not to interfere. I guess the previous message indicating that ethics are up to the individual player probably is the most compelling I have heard. Everyone has their own perspective on what is an acceptable tactic within the spirit of the game. However, I hate to see players explicitly playing a position for the benefit of another, with little or no self interest. That can be very imbalancing to the game, and generally speaking, will discourage new players. I have played PBMs for twenty years, and seen issues like this destroy games.

 

Hi Jared

Your not talking about Norway are you?

What's he doing spying on me?

Are you under any threat from the Canadyank Axis?

I'm wondering what's next with them.

I'm well prepared for an attack from them but I'm wasting troops covering the possible entry points of which there are many.

I had an idea Iceland might come through France and I'm watching for change of territory there but nothing yet.

Hi Paul,

 

Why are you worried?

Ireland is soooo pleased with his self imposed position of the martyr who has been wronged, that he will be putting up a hard fight, he'll keep us busy until the end of the game :drunk:

 

But seriously, why would I attack you? I've followed your build up since the beginning...

No sense in breaking my back on those fortifications!

 

By the time the smoke has settled down in Europe I'm sure an opportunity will present itself, it always does...

Maybe France will cede a port city to me, via via, in his final moments...

 

Just saying...

 

Greetings,

 

Don

President of the usA

 

Hi CD

I don't know why you would invade my country????

Maybe 'cause we are at war.

Nah, wouldn't be that.

How would France cede you anything?

He's at war with Iceland and could let him in the back door but I'm watching for that incident.

I don't know what to do about the Austrian question.

I think there could be a good ally in that direction.

Especially as I haven't got any TA's left.

I still have a slot for a TA if I can find one and Austria would be a good choice.

Once I have taken out Morocco I can contemplate Algeria as a good invasion choice.

Over to you CD

Paul

You're not bursting my bubble.

CD would never do that.

Why can't you be more like him?

Not only is some of it old, but some of it is inaccurate. He has deliberately changed some of the information. I assume it is to see who is paying attention and who isn't.

 

Wrong Earthworm

All Alliences are accurate as at the time I got them.

Have a drink and chill..... :drunk: Yes, maybe some of this information was accurate 6-10 turns ago. And some of it is still accurate. None the less, the information as a whole is inaccurate currently.

Hello PeePee,

 

I only wish!

No more wars, friends with all my neighbours...

It must a very lovely place you live in!

Never neverland wasn't it...? :angry2:

 

You made me look up some old turnsheets...

Keep up the good work! It keeps me sharp!

 

Greetings,

Don

President of the usA and all North Atlantic Territories (By right anyway..!)

 

Hi again Prez

See I was right "Sanity Prevales"

I'm guessing you've never been to Neverneverland.

But you should at least go there once in your life.

If you never never go you'll never never know.

No one is prepared to share there espionage on Alliances ah?

I'll get the latest next turn on a few of you a see if you think they are wrong then.

That'll be fun.

But I'm not allowing mine to be shown here it is private between me and my allies.
