A triple alliance? England, Germany, and I have been playing the other two off each other every turn since the game began. Nothing any of us have done could really be considered an alliance.

I haven't lied to anyone besides England and Germany as far as I can remember.

I seriously want to move to Bohemia and Tyrolia just so that I can turn those lands purple...then again, maybe we should leave those as a DMZ to honor Austria?

I think he was refering to Italy's armies failing 4 out of 4 times. Your move to Holland was successful.

Wow, Turkey could have gotten Sev and Rum on a fall turn...

F Bla - Sev

A Arm S F Bla - Sev

A Bul - Rum

Worst case, it's a standoff, otherwise Turkey gets Sev because Rum support gets cut, or as in this case he gets both because Rum moves out of position and Ukr gets overwhelmed.

Yes, Russia would be in the Black Sea, but with two centres on a Fall turn Turkey could build on Con and Ank, so it's not a big problem.

Good job convincing him to give that one up!

Yeah, we aren't very happy with Turkey right now. I think he decided to screw it and let Russia win.

Yeah, I think the main draw back here though is next game I'll probably get gangbanged by every single country.

With my luck I'll get Austria and get screwed by everyone except England.

Edit: and the weird thing is...this is the only game I've played where I wasn't eliminated first

Looking through the game:

-Germany had no idea how to play, and one weak player unbalances the whole game!

-I'm pretty disappointed that Italy-Austria didn't open Lepanto. With the Juggernaut dismantling Austria, Italy usually gets boxed in, and gains little by Austria's destruction.

England had no idea how to play and Germany got screwed because of it. He went for a risky opening and paid the price.

Everybody thought Italy was opening Lepanto, including Turkey. I think that convinced him to change his mind and do something unusual.

Also, if anyone's interested, at the end of the game (if all the players are cool with it) we can give a basic rundown of everything going on during negotiations.

Yeah, but he mostly got screwed with that risky opening because he didn't try to adapt to something else when I blatantly told him I knew exactly what he was doing.

I'd like to play in a game, as long as it's okay that I'm an almost complete noob at this.

I've been typing my thoughts into a document every turn, and I'll post them up afterward. They're unorganized and somewhat stream of consciousness, but they've been useful for helping me plan each turn out. I think I'm up to 5 pages of notes, haha.

Germany's opening moves made no sense. He didn't have to bounce on Holland and put no pressure on either Sweden or Belgium.

It's an opening known as "The Centrifuge"...don't know why it's named that. Basically the opening is used primarily to give everyone the impression that he has no idea what he's doing, then set up his armies and builds in order to convoy the shit out of me (Russia). Although this strategy works primarily in gunboat games, since it kind of messes things up once communication comes into play.

The only flaw in his plan was that he read France completely wrong, and despite me telling him I knew what he'd do, he continued anyways and I was able to prepare while France took Munich. So instead of giving off the impression that he was an idiot before beating the shit out of me...he just gave everyone the impression that he's an idiot.
