SDnet Diplomacy Game Sign Up Thread

Question: How will the 'padawans' be assigned? Randomly with d100 rolls, or similarly?

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2005-10-20 08:10pm

Nah, you guys can work that out amongst yourselves.

OH, and this is a rule I want followed closely: Padawans will discuss game strategy and their player's moves and plans ONLY with their player. If I find out anyone's been chit-chatting in SDnet chat or something about what their player's clever backstab is, there will be trouble.

Could you move me to "padawan" status, please? I have neither the time nor the experience to fully pursue a nation.

::waits impatiently for turn::

In the case of me not being around, I'm gonna throw in my prefs through fifth, in order of preference, so take them from the highest number of mine, whatever I'm allowed (well, sending in via PM).

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2005-10-21 03:06pm

I choose:

The sun shall never set on the British Empire!

I volunteered for a position on the substitute list on the last page, but I appear in no lists...

Kaiser Ente has chosen his nation.

Oh, and cookie to whichever player choses Austro-Hungary if they display the proper flag

Well... what year is it?

1900. Kind of a grey area, considering it's Austria-Hungary. Were A-H a Lovecraft monster it'd be She With The Thousand Flags....

Game will be starting Sunday night at midnight. Everyone, get your positions in.

The Guid · Post by **The Guid** » 2005-10-22 10:46pm

I'll take whomever is left but I'll go for France if nobody else (*checks) has taken it.

Um, you aren't playing.

The Guid · Post by **The Guid** » 2005-10-22 11:18pm

Oh sorry, I thought I was signing up to be someone's Padawan. Apologies for being a fucktard.

Has been along day.

Post by **Surlethe** » 2005-10-23 12:56pm

I have corresponded with MRDOD via PM, and he has accepted me as his padawan learner. I shall be following the game with much interest.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2005-10-23 03:58pm

Akhult has become padawan of the British Empire.

By the way, what happens if Weemadando doesn't turn up before midnight? Do we push back the start date?

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2005-10-23 05:02pm

If he doesn't, I'll put him at the bottom of the list for picks and add another day to nation chosing.

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2005-10-24 10:57am

Alright, as of 10 hours ago, weemadando was moved to the bottom of the queue.

Picks are due in at midnight tonight, EST.

3. Beowulf
4. haas mark
5. Stark
6. Adrian Laguna
7. weemadando

I guess it's time to start promoting Padawans, then, right?

Not Midnight yet! (Sorry, I'm slightly sick, and needed a nap after work...)

Tsar Beowulf has made his choice!

haas mark's last will and testament lands him:

Forwards the Ottoman Empire!
