The Official Diplomacy Game 01 Thread

[Tolbethessar]

This morning, I made the maps and then just now I've delivered the maps to your inboxes.

On the rest of this day I've things to do, so this will be a very quick post. England, Netherlands, and Portugal each has 1 build available. Their new permanent colonies' names will be announced with the results of Winter 1493.

If you don't mind, send me a PM by tomorrow night, July 5th, alright guys?

Please enjoy your July 4th!

Update: I do have everybody's build orders, I will disclose them in a couple of hours.

Tolbethessar , are you alive? It's been over a day since Winter 1493 should have ended...

even I, a spectator, am worried

Since Tolbethessar has the maps needed to play this game, I don't really see any other option but to wait as long as we can. That is of course assuming our goal is to preserve this game.

He's been inactive for approx. 1d 8h, so take that in mind. I personally believe we should wait for 5 days, perhaps a week (accounting for the 1d 8h), but that could be too long for y'all.

Perhaps 72h? A clear waiting period is better than quitting out of uncertainty, and I see 72h as a bare minimum to give Tolbethessar enough time to deal with RL.

[Tolbethessar]

Aah! I'm so sorry you guys!

Stupid human error of the GM (me). I had assumed that we're on Spring 1494, but before I knew it... It's already July 8th this morning now, and I hadn't put in the winter build announcement yet!

My brain is literally still on July 6th or 7th in my mental calendar.

Again, I really would like to apologize much as I can. I'm sorry that was entirely my fault in such a disastrous lapse of time management, leading up to a massive goof up. Things in RL are definitely fixed. I hadn't intended to cause this.

Do you guys want to proceed with the Spring 1494 by tomorrow night or do you want a normal 2+ days?

[Tolbethessar]

I'm a little worried about Spain. Even before the Winter slash Spring boondoggle, I wasn't hearing much from him. And now, even now, he hasn't been on since July 4th.

Byz, I would be pretty sad if you had no choice but to stop. Please let me know if you need anything, Christ Pantocrator.

[Tolbethessar]

alkania, Would you want to join as Spain? I haven't seen a peep from Byz, 5 days running now, which was BEFORE I even posted that I did get build orders from all 3 on July 5th.

I'm letting you know (and everyone else), that you have an extra day left for this phase, so you can get on with it as it's your first phase. You're the only one remaining.

Anyone else also may opt to put in some alternation to their orders in the meantime, of course.

Sound good, everyone?

I'm actually in the middle of working on the maps right now, I should be done with them within... an hour at most, as an estimate.

[Tolbethessar]

Ok done! All maps have been delivered!

Alrighty then... onward to Fall 1494! July 13th, at the end of that day.

Guys, if any of you need time, or even have any questions, let me know, okay? I'm happy to help out.

If you are struggling with the clock thing, I'm using midnight time for NYC or Eastern Standard Time as the endpoint of my deadlines. I can give you the local time for your time zone.

I got all orders except from France, but I had to wait a few hours before I could release the public results. To make up for the slight longer wait: I've got the maps uploaded at the same time as this post too! Enjoy!

---

England and Portugal each has a build available, by the way. (Don't have the names of their new colonies)

Congrats on the growing colonial empires!

If you will please give me a build order before tomorrow night? (can be extended to a normal 2 day phase if necessary, by the way)
