Diplomacy, anyone?

[Lieutenant Kije]

I have build orders for two players, am waiting clarification on another, and have yet to receive anything for the fourth.  

We've lost our internet connection at home, and so the only time online I have is at my work, my wife's work, or my wife's school.  Which is plenty, except that for some reason my work computer won't save jpegs and the like.  So putting the map on the web is a little more difficult now.  I'm thinking I'll just put a new map up when I have all the build orders.  You can read from the orders results and the old map to see what the situation is now when looking to build.

Italy build orders - Army in rome, army in venice.

[Lieutenant Kije]

Thanks - just waiting on a clarification now.

if the clarification is to me, post it here and I'll get it to you asap. Otherwise, tell me where to dispatch mroe ninja monkeys

[Lieutenant Kije]

Not to you, or you would have known.  And not because it's absolutely necessary, but just in keeping with confidentiality until all is revealed, you'll have to do your own detective work to track down whom to send those simian freaks to.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

not really. I cna't check that email account from work.

*shakes his fist at Kije*

Curse you fair moderator!

[Lieutenant Kije]

Build orders are all in:

Austria builds fleet in Trieste

France builds armies in Brest and Paris

Italy builds armies in Venice and Rome

Russia builds fleet in St. Petersburg (north coast)

It might be helpful for those involved to brush up on the rules about bi-coastal provinces (St. Petersburg, Spain, Bulgaria.)  You can find the info in the Notes on Geography file on the Yahoo site or the Notes on Geography post on the Diplomacy Reference Files thread here on the forum.  

I will get a new map posted when I can (Saturday at the latest.)

So new round of diplomacy: round ends midnight next Thursday (Jan. 20) night -7/8 GMT.

Eric needs a map to properly visualize this.

[Lieutenant Kije]

I apologize for the inconvenience.  I can email you the powerpoint file that I use to make changes to the map if you'd like.  

Then if you were feeling saucy, you could convert the latest slide to jpeg and post it on the site.  I'm not asking you to do this, but feel free.  If you don't I'll just post it when I can.

So would you like me to send you the file?  And if so, to what address?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I'll muck with the source image when I get home.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I have completed, in a very short space, a crude, but usable map. FYI, that Russian Fleet in the north is in St Petersburg, not the sea.

[Lieutenant Kije]

Well thankee Saint.  The only correction to that map stems from my failure to mention that the English fleet in Yorkshire disbands as a result of England having lost Edinburg.  I'm thinking my map will be up tonight, so no need to correct yours unless you really really want to muck some more.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

nah, I'll leave it. everyone just remember. Kije's will look prettier.

[Lieutenant Kije]

Map's up on the site.
