I don't have any messages from Germany yet T_T No love for the Turks?

Haven't started sending out any messages yet personally until a couple more people weigh in, but I'm thinking it's probably best to just play it out as it is now unless someone is really unhappy with which power they got.

Argh, just as I was totally getting into character of the French

I mean...my irl name is even French! It would've been perfect...ah well, time to get this Russian wave on track unless stenole changes everything back to how it was originally planned.

I'd definitely prefer to play as Russia rather than Italy, but I'm willing to go through with it the way it is if that's what you guys want to do.

I guess the website decided to give us random countries. All the PMs I got had people saying they would play anything, so I guess we're fine. Only 2 of you got your first choices anyway. And since we're not all equally experienced at this game, I would argue that it's more fair to keep people out of their comfort zones. I'm Austria now. I'm so clueless as to what to do. In a way I'm glad because I had made some bad promises when I thought I was Germany.

Bad promises? I thought we could've had an alliance

France+Germany pals for life!

You broke my heart man...

Ok, so since we're pretty officially starting with the new powers now, stenole, Falcynn, 'fess up, you two were allied against me in the original, weren't you?

You can't be allied when no orders were turned in. I admit nothing.

This game is SOOO good! In high school, my friend made a War Games club and I played this game every thursday during lunch. dipbounce is a good place to play online too. GERMANY//TURKEY FTW.

My favorite alliance is easily the Maritime - England and Italy. Alas, I play as neither power this time around.

I've seen this opening before (twice actually) and with the way it was used against me you can understand if I'm a bit hesitant as to trust you right now.

The thing is, it's supremely adaptable and rarely scares anyone but Russia, so in a game with people I've never played with before it seemed like a good enough option, given that Russia and Germany fighting is rarely a desirable outcome.

'Sides, if I really wanted to fight Russia, I would have just moved to Sil as well, screw the DMZ. ^^

I'm down with that, and rather than taking a vote (a distinctly anti-Diplomatic thing to do) I'll just post up the Spring 1901 orders here, and take them down if too many people threaten to kill me or something.

Spring 1901

England:
The fleet at Edinburgh move to North Sea.
The army at Liverpool move to Yorkshire.
The fleet at London move to English Channel.
France:
The army at Marseilles move to Burgundy.
The army at Paris move to Gascony.
The fleet at Brest move to Mid-Atlantic Ocean.
Italy:
The army at Venice hold.
The army at Rome move to Apulia.
The fleet at Naples move to Ionian Sea.
Germany:
The army at Munich move to Kiel.
The army at Berlin move to Prussia.
The fleet at Kiel move to Baltic Sea.
Austria:
The army at Vienna move to Galicia.
The fleet at Trieste move to Venice.
The army at Budapest move to Serbia.
Turkey:
The army at Constantinople move to Bulgaria.
The fleet at Ankara move to Black Sea.
The army at Smyrna move to Constantinople.
Russia:
The army at Moscow move to Ukraine.
The fleet at St. Petersburg (South Coast) move to Gulf of Bothnia.
The army at Warsaw move to Galicia.
The fleet at Sevastopol move to Black Sea.

and the player list in the OP is accurate now so you guys should know which country is who.

Not exactly because that move would've seriously sucked. eh whatever, I'll have to see what you build in winter to see for sure if I'm being threatened...

Spring 1901

Like Musoeun I'll take this down if people want. (oh and of course, if you're not playing please refrain from giving advice

this is just for anyone interested in spectating)

I can't see any reason for moves or maps to be taken down, it's not like we're posting classified information here or anything. Everyone in the game has access to all of it.
