	Dip 50, Imp3 - NEEDS A NEW FRANCE Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Hey All,

Dip 50 needs a new France. The position is a little battered, but still playable. You can find the current map under the Dip50 SUMMER RETREATS thread. Will someone help us out?

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't matter what you think Victor, you gave up the country, if it mattered to you , you wouldn't have quit. Du Chateau asked first, he should be allowed to get it.

I didn't quit, I ordered all my units proxied to Holland. Then MDR just started looking for a replacement. And I just said nothing because it lightens my diplomacy games load.

Victor,
You can only proxy your units at the dicretion of the GM, and MDR realizes proxying those units would be stupid so he is looking for a replacement, which is the correct procedure. You don't get to tell him that you want your units proxied, it must be agreed upon by the GM. So in essence, you did quit, regardless of your reasoning.

is that...........................conceded minds want to know.

Du's got the country since he asked first.

Victor, you quit. You weren't even going to write orders for your own units. Let someone else give it a shot.

If you had something like four units left & proxied them, I would have let that go through. Proxying yourself to Holland now would have made him too powerful without him earning it.

Well, thanks to the amount of time it took to get a replacement France, I doubt we'll get to the next turn until after the Holidays. I'll be out of internet contact from Dec. 12th to Jan. 7th. It'll take at least to December 12th for Du to get settled in with the country.

Who was supposed to be the temp GM in times of need? We set it up at the beginning of the game, when everyone was having trouble trying to find a full-time GM for the game. Was it Snowfire?

MDR,
First of all, have a nice vacation, we should start asking people but I will try and persuade Chazzy, as long as it is temporary, he just finished off Titans and his outlook is bleak in Frontier, so he might be willing. That is of coarse if Snowfire doesn't want to do it, he might enjoy GM'ing this game temporarily.

It will be temporary. I would do it over the holidays since I'd actually have some extra time, but I won't have access to the internet, much less a machine that can view the map.

Concede - is what you will do to me when I land that army in Kamchakta!

Conceit - is the attitude that I will take with you after showing you for the umpteenth time how this game is played.

Dude, if you are planning to insult me, at least use the proper word.

MDR: Will you be adjudicating the Fall turn before departing for vacation? If not could you send what orders you have to the temporary GM?

And in this case, maybe orange would make the better replacement France, because Du Chateau can GM. Just an idea, and I don't mean to be volunteering Du_Chat to take on anothe global game GMing duties....

Hey Dude yourself,
That is why it took you so long to respond, you had to look it up. I used the right word just mis-spelled it.

And you tried Kam once and got your ass kicked, even if you do make it, it would be a short lived stay, you would have to commit too many troops to maintain your position and just like France, you will slowly but surely concede to the might Chinese.

Nah, let Du play. He seems to run a lot of games on this site, let's give him a chance to get some licks in, too. Besides, I wouldn't want to force on him the logistical nightmare of running two Imp3 games at once, even if it's only for roughly a month.

As for orders, if we get a temp GM before the 12th, I'll send them across. Otherwise, you'll have to resubmit them. That shouldn't be too hard, since they're in your email histories.

Defiant, I believe the correct phrase would be "you will slowly but surely conced to the might _of the_ Chinese."

You see, as a diplomat, not only must you spell your words properly, you must also construct your sentences properly.

Let's see if HDS will jump all over this one...

Geeee thanks for jumping on the "lets hit Defiant with semantics" day. Your phrase is also correct, but the context I meant it in was mighty Chinese, I only forgot the "y", just typing too fast.

MDR, poor old Defiant couldn't spell the word right the first time. You think he's really gonna catch it this time around?


Okay, fine by me if Du plays the Frenchies. Although I don't see a temporary GM stepping in at all here. We can ask SnowFire or Berzerker, but they would really be the only option UNLESS Victor wants redeem himself...

Why only Berzerker or Snowfire, both of whom most likely will not do it?

I don't have the time in the next month to do the diplomacy that would save my ass, much less GM a game this big. Two weeks from Sunday, I'm going skiing in Mammoth, CA. That's so far from civilization, it's not funny. I hardly believe that I could adjudicate dip moves, considering I'm not even sure I'll have an internet connection. (I'm leaning towards yes, but I can't guarantee that I'll have access to my e-mail (my dad's laptop is just crappy that way)).

I choose not to "conced" to you the satisfaction. Illiteracy is a burden that your soul must bear, not mine.
