yes. How are we ever going to find someone like Darren who will play in 9 whole games of over 2 turns length in 7 yrs while lieing about how busy he is though...
Vegas, you assume that games in which you are GM should be counted in the positive column. Those who play in games you GM would likely rate them as negative...
What a drag! I contend that all games are decided by NMR's. At least this game didn't have to suffer that, though abandonments are not much beter. Fred ... ...
That's not true, Michael: you can be quite diplomatic when you want to be, I've seen you do it. It's just that sometimes you prefer to act crazy and drive...
Proving once more that quality can be superior to quantity. Even, or perhaps especially, in Diplomacy. LOL Seeing that Christian is "valueless" enough to...
Well the BS is really flyin' isn't it? Vegas has GMed a lot of games I've been in over the last 4 years and in my opinion he's the best in the business. I've...
This just goes to show what I know. I used to think that I was worth at least six or seven John Strains, but after comparing our stats, I've found out that...
Gentlemen: While I am admittedly new to this group I find I feel compelled to comment. I'll spare you the details of my involvement in the hobby (if you want...
I agree that GM's need not be flexible when players don't follow the rules, Scott. But the issue here is that VEGAS didn't follow the rules as GM. Any ...

Part of the problem seems to be that some think that they are entitled to negotiate during adjustments and retreats. You are NOT! This is a common fallacy that...
Now we're getting somewhere. This seems to be generally ignored. The rules of the game state quite clearly that no negociations are allowed in retreat or...
As I mentioned in one of my first posts on this issue: "I am assuming that as with other PBEM tournaments, negotiations during retreats and adjustments are...
You did know he will soon be gone for a month, didn't you? You did know I had to contact his teammates once his moves were over due since he was the captain so...
Perhaps someone can educate me as to why this really matters in non-face-to-face games. I understand the rule, but don't see what the big deal is. What...
DW389 Germany looks especially good but DW393 France only a yr in & got the 2 01 builds. If people want some good positions time to walk on in. Argentina in...
Not a detriment issue. If Chrisitan had stuck with complaining on the retreat phase I would have had to yiled grudgingly per rules. It was adding the 2nd bit...

I came onto the dip scene somewhere around 1993 as a replacement in dip 229. A lot of things were said and done to me and by me and not all of it nice. There...
I'm refraining from commentary that cannot be taken back, as requested, Jim. But I think a little clarification on what Vegas is saying right now would help...
Diplomacy is divided into negotiation and movement phases. The point is simply, I think that the rules make no provision for a negotiations phase over retreats...
