23 Apr 24 UTC	Spring, 1: GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders.

Thu 09 May UTC	Autumn, 5: Everybody, Carthage of going for solo! E we should stick together and stop them!
Thu 09 May UTC	Autumn, 5: yeah
Thu 09 May UTC	Autumn, 5: I figured I should really play a game aggressively at some point in my career lol
Thu 09 May UTC	Autumn, 5: sorry Carthage; I really was serious about Cyrene at the time. until I saw I could go +3 this year :/
Thu 09 May UTC	Autumn, 5: er, who am I? Egypt. I'm Carthage.
Wed 15 May UTC	Autumn, 8: I propose to draw after this building phase
Wed 15 May UTC	Autumn, 8: okay
Wed 15 May UTC	Autumn, 8: so is Alexandria adjacent to Sinai? this map around the Nile gets a bit weird
Wed 15 May UTC	Autumn, 8: yeah, I never got the hang of the rules regarding the Nile
Wed 15 May UTC	GameMaster: Persia 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.
Wed 15 May UTC	Yes, the Nile delta has always been full of surprises !
Thu 16 May UTC	Greece, are you voting for draw or do you prefer a that cartage and me we share your centers at 17-17 ?
Thu 16 May UTC	Carthage, in order to give you some context, Greece is very angry against me because he imagine that I stabbed him, and therefore in order to take his revanche against me he want to give you his centers so that you solo. This is why he does not draw. You can judge by yourself the level of my discussions with him. I tried to explain him that it would have been a very strange stab from me, I even never attacked any of his supply centers, I only attacked Egyptian positions. So stabbing without attacking is a very strange concept… By the way, let’s suppose that I stabbed him : to stab in this game is not a shame, it is the heart of the game. So if I had done it, why wouldn’t I assume it ? But nothing, no way to convince him to draw here. He is sticking on his idea to sabotage the game, like a child which makes a caprice. So if you have a chance to make him reasonable, please do. Me, I give up here. This game is finished. Good game to you Carthage. I appreciated your moves, especially when you decided to accelerate and play aggressively. It was quite challenging for me to stay in your wave. I hope not to meet this Greek anymore because we are here to play and have fun, and this kind of attitude kills all the pleasure.
Thu 16 May UTC	Ooh, "revanche", nice word of the day :) I suppose that explains a few things. Honestly I expected more pushback when I stabbed him. It is unfortunate how common it is to run into thin-skinned Diplomacy players online. I admit I can get cranky sometimes, but that's more to do with players' personalities/press style than their moves in the game.
