14 Jul 13 UTC | Spring, 825: (The Ambassador): Ready to give this a go lads :-) |
27 Jul 13 UTC | Autumn, 831: GameMaster: Danes voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has. |
30 Jul 13 UTC | Sorry about prolonging that guys, I just wanted a 3-way not a 6-way draw. |
31 Jul 13 UTC | I would love a rematch. Thoughts? |
31 Jul 13 UTC | I'm just happy the Scotts got destroyed ;p That initial stab by them screwed me from the start. |
31 Jul 13 UTC | Come on kaner, we all know the Scots were the good guys here. And it was hardly a stab. More a unprovoked attack from Day 1 ;-) I was disappointed a little in the Danes killing me off when I'd helped him a bit, but hey, kind of what this game's all about. |
31 Jul 13 UTC | I'm up for a rematch. But only if its anonymous. So there's no hard feelings. :) |
31 Jul 13 UTC | Oh, I don't keep grudges Bretons. Every game is a different story for me. No hard feelings, it's a game! Well... I'm SO happy you didn't win, though! :P |
31 Jul 13 UTC | Ok well then. Anyone want to do a rematch? |
31 Jul 13 UTC | Well, sorry about that, but he wouldn't draw with you in, so I figured I'd save us a lot of useless phases that way. |
31 Jul 13 UTC | Hmmm, I may pass. I have the feeling I was in 1 too many games. |
31 Jul 13 UTC | I've been the first putting down the draw vote, not actually because I was looking for a 6 way draw, but mostly for sending a further signal to Norse. Benk, you did well in going forward. Sharing the draw among a minor number of players is universally seen as a good thing, as long as the solo isn't caused by this process. If I were in your position, probably I should have tried to break through the defences of Danes+Norse... I don't think this was a mission impossible. This was a gunboat, moreover... I was freaked by the idea that I didn't find a safe WEST vs EAST stalemate line. Some of you guys (we have the variant developer here...) is willing to share possible stalemate lines in Dark Ages? |
31 Jul 13 UTC | Scapa Flow and Straits of Dover seem highly defensible |
31 Jul 13 UTC | I didn't really want to go for a solo and was happy with a 3-way draw. As for the stalemate lines, there don't seem to be any. |
31 Jul 13 UTC | http://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=15348 gunboat 901 anyone? |
31 Jul 13 UTC | http://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=15353 and a rematch for those who are interested |
31 Jul 13 UTC | Yes, Benk, I understood your intention not for trying to solo when I saw you offering to support Norse to Zetland. |
