Surprised Pikachu face.

Russia is our ally. We have always been at war with Turkey.

At least you have an ally.

Are you even trying to make any? I mean, it is kind of messed up 3 people are tag teaming you because they know each other outside the game, but are you trying to stop it at all? I mean, them 3 have to know that only one person can win.

Also, your moves down in Spain have been super questionable.

I can't remember the last time a game of diplomacy actually finished- I'm not sure first place is that tantalizing a carrot versus being on the winning team

It is a solo victory game. Everyone wins or one person wins.

Technically you do have to be alive to be included in a draw. People can get eliminated.

Nobody wins a draw though so everyone won. Or everyone lost however you look at it. People eliminated didn't get to 18 areas just like the rest of them.

---

Sure, those might be the rules as written. And maybe

In my experience most people's goal is to stay alive, doing well, and having fun until the group loses interest

You might not be winning more by getting second place compared to the person who was eliminated in year 6, but it certainly feels better

A motion has been made to reduce phases from 48 hours to 24 hours.

Anyone opposed?

Do it.

Do it.

Could we do it after this weekend? I'm going to a wedding tonight and have a long drive there today and home tomorrow.

24 hours for moves.

After this turn I'll be reducing phases to 24 hours.

@turbopuns3

Add me on discord and message me please.

ScareChan has been replaced by someone I know IRL who doesn't have an account here.

If you want to contact him you can do so through the backstabbr client.

Also, phases reduced to 24 hours, from 48.

couldnt even stop on my terms hmm
---

I would've taken completely different actions if I knew Scare wouldn't be allowed to surrender...

---

*completely* different?

PM me with any disputes.

I'm sorry I just think telling players you're quitting without telling the host you're quitting is both dumb and unfair.

*some players (not all)

Well, 25% different.

---

Instead of getting a new supply area like I assumed I would after Scare scooped I failed to take that zone AND lost a supply center that I didn't think I had to defend.

---

Oh no, someone betrayed the other players!
---

Fortunately it was spring so you haven't lost anything yet. Perhaps you have an ally to assist you in taking it back.

(Look someone straight up quit without telling me, I realized it through indirect conversations, I got them replaced in time, please don't make me the bad guy.)

No. Not even close to what happened.

---

Aww if I knew someone was leaving I would have offered to take their spot.

if I knew someone was leaving I would have

Yeah

Oh please act like it fucked you. My entire turn was wasted due to it. Lol.

---

MI you literally would be dead in the water if the slot hadn't did what he did. You woulda lost 2 zones and had a third lost in the fall. I don't wanna hear it.

---

And, I was literally not putting in moves and spent the day lobbying to end the game because someone told me everyone wants to quit and isn't having fun. That is an out of game tactic. I thought I was being nice by agreeing to just let it end and remake with players who wanted to play when I was in the lead, and you are going to complain you lost a zone you will regain next turn over it???

---

But, hey, if you wanna complain, roll the phase back and redo spring. Lol

---

"air your things in public"
"Shut up please"

Oh I forgot MI is allowed to complain about not having someone suicide and give him free zones to quit on their own terms, but I can't point out how dumb that is.

Got it!

---

I'm just trying to discourage *ineffective* drama.

Hence why I posted something then immediately deleted it.

I am just trying to point out how dumb MI's argument is!

---

Ok well MI is dropping out so good job you won I'm looking for another replacement thanks :)

@Pokewars?

Put me in, coach!
---

Tsk tsk

---

So I assume I'll get an email invitation.

And which country am I taking over?
---

Germany, I just need an email @Pokewars

I sent it to you @turbopuns3
---

I'm not drunk, you're drunk

So am I in the game? I see the board and everyone's profile, but do I just pm you my moves or...?

(I haven't used Backstabber before)
---

I just activated the replacement, you should be good now.

From what I can tell, I can't permanently shorten the phases...I have to manually shorten each phase once it's started. So let me know if you ever notice I've forgotten.

We're currently in build/disband phase. Everyone is encouraged to click the "process when everyone is ready" box.

I may not have internet access when deadline happens tonight but I'll shorten the next deadline once I do
