France WAS a pretty cool guy, etc.

Poland, feed me now! This war has done nothing but famish me.

Conqueror · « **Reply #273 on:** September 11, 2011, 01:56:23 AM »

So yeah, we can kill France in the next few turns. But Poland is screwed, that plus the retreat into Saxony means Germany is screwed, Italy is screwed, and then Spain and England will get overrun by the builds taken from the conquered countries. Till next game, till next game. But I think we're done with this one. Good for you Kittenblock, you win.

* Conqueror throws in the towel.

At this point I support a joint win for Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, and (grumble grumble) Egypt. There's really no point in dragging this out after this turn.

PX · « **Reply #274 on:** September 11, 2011, 01:57:53 AM »

tl;dr, this game sucked

We had no chance of winning from the beginning.

Conqueror · « **Reply #275 on:** September 11, 2011, 02:16:15 AM »

Well, Spain and England kinda had a special situation with Gib and all. :V
Sadistic mapmakers.

Kitten4u · « **Reply #276 on:** September 11, 2011, 02:20:01 AM »

Well, I think what happened was that the east united before the first movement happened and the west stayed scrambled and started beating each other up. Though, I do think this map favors the east more than the west in general.

Schezo · « **Reply #277 on:** September 11, 2011, 02:27:02 AM »

Hmm yeah the baltics were just a fuckton of gains for the east while west war just kill each other, start.

Who would like to host next? I can do it but does anyone have a map in mind they would like to play?

Kitten4u · « **Reply #278 on:** September 11, 2011, 02:27:57 AM »

I already offered to host the next one. I think I'm going to need a break after this. :V

But yeah, map suggestions are fine.

Conqueror · « **Reply #279 on:** September 11, 2011, 02:28:14 AM »

Well I kinda want for Italy, Germany, and Poland to agree to a surrender first. :V
~~I think Kitten4U wants to host the next game.~~ Cut.

Doll.S CUBE · « **Reply #280 on:** September 11, 2011, 02:30:39 AM »

Well, it seems people are willing to end this but like before I would need a majority vote before calling this game an end in favour of the eastern alliances. Please vote for what you want to do.

Also for next game map suggestion, how about something set in the distant past?

ActionDan · « **Reply #281 on:** September 11, 2011, 03:31:07 AM »

##Vengeful kill:Kitten!!!!!!!!!

I surrender

ActionDan · « **Reply #282 on:** September 11, 2011, 03:34:47 AM »

I think Poland is fucked on this map regardless.

Schezo · « **Reply #283 on:** September 11, 2011, 03:43:05 AM »

I would second that, since the only real alliance he could get was with me, and if Russia decides to do that, Poland can easily end them anyway so who wants to do that? :V

Kitten4u · « **Reply #284 on:** September 11, 2011, 03:52:46 AM »

I disagree. Poland is the gambit country. They are in an excellent position to attack people if they are really good at the diplomacy portion of the game. They can work with Russia, Ukraine, Germany or Italy fairly easily, granted the center countries may be harder to work with in the long run. What made Poland so scrwed this game was that it was right in the middle of two alliances and therefore had no real chance to grow.

##Requiem Kitten4u

ActionDan · « **Reply #286 on:** September 11, 2011, 04:32:17 AM »

My only chance was if turkey wasn't allied with you... And I tried to convince turkey to turn on you (I predicted your alliance early) but to no avail :/

PX · « **Reply #287 on:** September 11, 2011, 04:33:08 AM »

The reason why I find this game and the Kitten block so lame is one basic reason: The purpose of the game is to play to win. Before the game even started, they decided to troll everyone and end in a draw, while everyone else was trying to fulfill the wincon, thus ruining the game for everyone else.

Conqueror · « **Reply #288 on:** September 11, 2011, 04:48:43 AM »

Okay, given that Lambda gave up on this game a while ago, and Dorian was working with Kitten4U last turn (even though she stated her intentions to gobble him up later) I'd say this game is over.

I owe my survival to you alone Dormio!

Shallow Grave is such an apt name. Dazzle. Best support.

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #291 on:** September 11, 2011, 05:29:54 AM »

I still find it extremely fortunate that I was able to talk to Kitten and tell her that you were going to bounce in War. :V

ActionDan · « **Reply #292 on:** September 11, 2011, 06:05:18 AM »

Reading the logs. I made my moves mostly by myself (and was obviously betrayed at the very end), I was helped my info twice in a significant way.

First Dormio told K4u false info fall 1994. Then I got a whiff of what Russia was up to spring 97'. Otherwise I did things that made sense for me.

I never communicated with PX.

I support this too but the problem is there's no Gensokyo map for Jdip (At least that I know of), unless someone can program something for it.....

Conqueror · « **Reply #295 on:** September 11, 2011, 09:31:46 AM »

Right, so here are most of the messages that I missed from before. I'm probably missing a bunch of stuff from #MotkTown or #shadowkittens but the log files for those channels are so huge that I'm not going to bother filtering through them. Teamspeak convos are also not included for obvious reasons.

http://www.quicktopic.com/46/H/xcnUaQyhC76Y - Miscellaneous Diplomacy logs

The first convos are group convos in one-off rooms in no particular order; following that are convos with other players not included in the previous QT, also in no particular order. Next, the QT contains all convos between me and Dormio, ordered chronologically. The last series of convos (i.e. the one at the top) is just one that I found amusing, because we got called obvscum for some reason. >_>

Pretty sure no one is ever going to read these given how ridiculously fucking long the whole thing is, but I figured I'd include it for completeness's sake. Since the rest of you are lazy bums.

I don't even understand how you FOUND all the convos with me.

That's odd, I'm pretty sure we won. :V
This is also completely untrue. I guess this means we never get to kill capt.h after all. <.<
Honestly with the amount of lying everyone else did, I don't get why you thought -we- were telling the truth.

Bah, everyone seems to want to end this so I might as well end this.

This game is now officially over and everybody loses

That is my official declaration as this games host.

Now I'll wait to watch the next game.

I'll also post the PM's you all sent me sometime later.....maybe....
