Diplo in a Day!

The greatest military minds of a generation will gather on the muddy fields of Europe on Sunday November 8th for a pitched battle of war... and wits.

Start-time: 10am PST/1pm EST (Yes, it's early. Stop whining. You want to finish this thing before you have to go to work on Monday, right?). Randomly selected country assignments will be revealed at 9:30am PST. First moves due at 10:00am PST.

Moves due every 20 minutes, starting at 10:00am. Late moves will not be accepted. If a country has not submitted their moves on times, all of their units will be treated as Holding.

Maps will be posted as quickly as possible. Regardless of how long it takes to post the new maps, moves will be due in 20 minutes. If things are adjudicated smoothly, then you might have 15 minutes to scheme before your moves are due. If it takes a little longer to post the maps, then you'll have a little less time to digest the map before your maps are due.

It's official!

The mighty charge of the hand-holding juggernaut was too much for the forces of the world to unite against. Who could stand in the way of such passion, such dedication? Congratulations, these are your new overlords.

Princely Machinations

Dearest Diplomats:

A reminder that moves are due in today. On account of drunken revelry, I'm going to grant an extension on sending in your moves. Please submit them by midnight, Pacific Time. When submitting moves, please specify exactly what country you are attacking/defending and what moves you are supporting, if supporting an action. Also, use the abbreviated names from the map below. An example of an appropriate move would be: Ank (fleet) supports Smy (Army) attacks Arm. Carry on, my wayward diplomats!

Spring , 1901 (The Velvet Glove)

The Velvety Glove of Outrageous Insult

It is December, 1900. The leaders of the Western world convene an assembly to put their collective will and might to the task of ending war, famine, plague and pestilence. As tipsy dukes are wont to do, representatives of the great powers turn to boasting, insult and counter-insult. The toss of the velvet glove leads to the crack of the cane to the cut and thrust of the cutlass to the mass arming of the unwashed masses. War beckons. Come great dukes. To war. To war. Wounded honor and noble pride demand satisfaction!
