Diplomacy: Next Conquest (Austria Wins!)
« on: September 14, 2011, 08:40:10 PM »

Alright, time to start the next game because there can never be enough world domination!  Anyway, the map is Loeb9, which is a variation of the standard map with Spain and Norway as playable countries.  Here are the differences between the maps (other than the fact that there are 2 more countries).

An extra space is inserted on the north end of the map called the Arctic Ocean.  A unit in the Arctic Ocean may not be given any sort of orders durning a fall turn.  No unit may attempt to move into the Arctic Ocean during a fall turn.  The Arctic Ocean is adjacent to the North Atlantic, Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea and Siberia.

Passage between Cordoba and North Africa and passage between Naples and Sicily is allowed by armies.  However, such a move is made with a force equal to the number of supports (as opposed to the number of supports plus one).  Note that fleets may not make this move and support cannot be given in this fashion.  This form of movement is treated much like a convoyed movement by the adjudicator.  An unsupported unit will have no effect whatsoever on the destination providence for the purposes of cutting supports or banning retreats.

St Petersberg is divided in half.  The eastern half is not a supply center.  It is called Siberia and it is adjacent to Barents Sea, St Pete, Moscow, Kazakz and the Arctic Ocean.

Moscow is divided in half.  The eastern half is not a supply center.  It is called Kazakz and is is adjacent to Siberia, Moscow and  Sevastopl.

Prussia and Silesia are neutral supply centers.

The Russian fleet in St Pete starts out on the north coast rather than the south coast.

Victory condition is 20 supply centers.

---

Rules

1.) Win condition: THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE: There will be no allied victory allowed, one country must control 20 supply centers, or all living players must surrender to one player.  If anyone tries to get around this by simply refusing to send in orders all parties involved will simply be modkilled and the 3rd (or 4th/whatever if the alliance has three/whatever members) will win instead.

2.) Send in your orders on time:  Moving phases will be 72 hours, retreat phases 24 and build phases 24.  If you have no sent in your orders 12 hours before the deadline I'll prod you to make sure you didn't forget.  From there, you have 12 from the time of the prod to send them in; meaning if the deadline was originally at 8 PM, but I didn't prod you until 11 AM then your orders wouldn't be due until 11 PM.  You will ALWAYS have 12 hours from the time of my prod to send in orders.  After that, if it's the move phase my extensions will work like this:
First time sending them in late: You have 24 hours additional to send in your orders
Second time sending them in late: You have 12 additional hours to send in your orders
Third time sending them in late: You have 6 additional hours to send in your orders
Fourth time sending them in late: I'm sick of waiting on you, your orders are now hold orders and if you send them in late again they will be hold orders then too
No extensions will be granted for retreat or build phases, though I will still prod you 6 hours before the deadline, and you will have 6 hours from the time of my prod to get them in.  If you don't send them in then I will assume you want any dislodged units to be disbanded and that you don't want to build anything and that you want your units disbanded by RNG.  The deadline isn't until I start updating, so any changes can be made before then, and your orders won't be considered late until then.  If everyone sends in their orders early I will update at the soonest possible opportunity.  Any orders send to me after I start updating will be ignored.

3.) PM Kitten4u your orders: Preferably with a title like Diplomacy: <season> <year> Orders.  I will only accept orders by PM, any other format will be ignored.

4.) Be nice, have fun, etc.: If someone's being a jerk PM me with relevant logs and I'll deal with it.  Be sure to let me know of any circumstances that prevent you from playing the game and I'll try to work around them.

It was pointed out to me that I forgot to mention one difference about the map in the opening post:

Passage between Cordoba and North Africa and passage between Naples and Sicily is allowed by armies.  However, such a move is made with a force equal to the number of supports (as opposed to the number of supports plus one).  Note that fleets may not make this move and support cannot be given in this fashion.  This form of movement is treated much like a convoyed movement by the adjudicator.  An unsupported unit will have no effect whatsoever on the destination providence for the purposes of cutting supports or banning retreats.

As the leader of the Norwegian Armed Forces, I'd like to open discussion with the other world leaders about the taxes levied on the export of cheese. As you all know, cheese is an important product of our country, which goes well with the French whine. We'd like to open our trade borders with countries other than Germany and Russia, for all that they are our nearest neighbours and are looking towards France and England specifically. We're not opposed to flying shipments to Italy, Turkey, even Spain or Austria.

Please let us hear about this business proposal; we're very excited with the prospect of broadening our market.

Message received from Starship Command HMS Elizabeth III:

Morning to all you folks back on the homeland! We've just about run out of crumpets here so it would be absolutely marvelous if you could send a few more crates through the warp gate; really, that would be fantastic. Anyhow, we've assimilated the Polaris system into our empire, and we welcome its inhabitants to join us in galaxial domination against the anti-Heros and dark Shadoweh creatures of the void. The suns of the universe will never set upon the British Empire!

If you got all the orders before deadline, would you update early?  You could still keep doable deadlines for you, just an earlier update.

I must say, I'm disappointed by the efforts of certain rogues to pin the blame on us when by all reasonable measures we were merely fashionably last-minute.
