[shubaka17]

[Ullar]

bad host smh

 

[Agape]

no you both got it wrong

walrein is ullar's alt

 

[Ampharos]

shit guys you got me

 

[shubaka17]

I'd like to take this moment to remind those folks still in game and still spectating that there's about 22 hours til deadline, submit your orders either on Smogon or on Discord.

If y'all want to send me more logs; I've gotten a few, but the smogon PMs are SubOptimal for in depth chats, so sending me those discord logs are also good!!!

 

[shubaka17]

deadline extended 7 hours bc i am tired from 12 hours on the road. unless y'all want me calling deadline and not updating map

 

[shubaka17]

9 hours, 7 hours, time is an illusion.

Leaving us in Fall of 1901, with the board as this

Deadline is in 54 hours, 3:00 PM EDT on 2017-05-17

A very...interesting moveset by Germany

 

[Hitmonleet]

 

[UncleSam]

What even is the point of having a sub if it's just a idle - idk whether it's even worth playing a game where one power idles from the offset tbh, I'd rather just set up a live game lmao

 

[Agape]

we cannot have a perfect diplo game on Smogon, better to lower expectations imo

 

[Ullar]

im just stressed from everyone bombarding me w/ walls of text and spamming me in DMs on discord

why did i sub in x.x

 

[Agape]

that is exactly what diplomacy is: gigantic social pressure

we are masochists for playing it

 

[Ampharos]

sorry for flaking it's just really hard for me to find time to play diplo this week

 

[Drawesome532]

tbh I don't feel like your dropping affected the game all that much. I mean you did it before the first turn even happened and it sounds like you hadn't made many binding agreements with people. I don't feel like the end result was much different than if Ullar rolled Germany to begin with so I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

 

[UncleSam]

Ya I wouldn't feel badly about it but uh

Honestly sorry but I'm gonna request we either put this game on hold until someone reliable can play for Germany or I'm gonna ask to sub out; it's just not Diplomacy if the countries are not all playing.

If anyone wants to set up a live diplo game so that we can actually finish one of these without AFKs I would support it and play whenever

 

[Agape]

:disappointment:

the game wouldn't be strictly worse without germany IMO, just different

 

[Asek]

i would put my hand up but as a new player (read - never played before but i know how countries generally interact) + being already on backfoot i feel like id just get steamrolled

i will if you need it tho

 

[Agape]

I would be ok with a sub even though I'm against it in principle.

Would prefer US surrendering tho!

 

[UncleSam]

IMO Asek should get to submit moves given Germany's were fairly obvious and the game should be allowed to continue from there (let's be real, Germany should and was supposed to be moving A Mun stands, F Kie -> Den, A Ber -> Kie; the only unusual move here is A Mun stands and given that was the order for that unit in any case I think it is the least we could do to try to let a sub have a real shot at playing the game)

And I mean if Agape wants to play a diplo game where no one else is playing than uh I guess he can feel free to do that lmao

 

[Agape]

5 players is hardly no one else

otherwise agree, but we cannot assume any opening for germany, also the A Mun H you suggested is highly questionable

continue without subs, sub asek without retcon, restart game (new signups) or abandon game imo

 

[UncleSam]

I'm ok with restart

 

[Blazade]

if you guys start the game next week I'd play, and from the looks of it maybe walrein would too?
