So anyone who wants to follow this and make rude comments can check out the status here:

to look at the latest replay etc. If people want I can post updates as they come in as well.

This was the country selection/lottery:
Turkey - Spoonist
England - OmegaChief
Tarle (Salieri) - Russia
theadvocate - Italy
Calsattack (Dr Roberts) - France
LordRelvenous - Germany
CockneyWeasel (atg) - Austria

Since there will be most certainly dropouts etc, if you are interested to take over or help someone out then state so here and get an account at playdippy (state your tag if it differs).

First comment is.

atg, says its his first time - and he got austria. That is a pretty hard country to play as a newbie. So anyone who wants to give him tips through PMs or similar would be appreciated.

Well, it's better than starting as Italy.

[OmegaChief]

We all know England is the best anyway.

[atg]

Well this should be interesting

[Spoonist]

So spring 1901, there is a fresh century waiting for the lily dove to settle, but what is that on the horizon, oh no its the dust of marching armies.

But something strange has happened, some sort of hoodlum convinced france and england that their new types of ships didn't require them to get wet...
Also some very passive moves from some countries, while others march forward boldly.

It looks like war is going to be short this time around...

[OmegaChief]

Sue me for thinking the site would auto-parse my ship orders

[Spoonist]

Auto parse? Edinburgh to Norway, auto-parse? I'm sorry to say that the F doesn't stand for flight.

If you click the "Orders" at the top it writes them out as old fashioned orders, its the same place you finilize your orders for faster turns.

[OmegaChief]

Yes yes, I've worked out the site now, shouldn't be any more hiccups >.>

[Dr Roberts]

That moron of an Admiral has been fired

[Spoonist]

Well at least it was lucky that the admirals on both sides of the channel got bribed...

[OmegaChief]

I think the French Admiral just had a little too much of the old wine to celebrate his depature and then kicked the fleet into reverse instead of forwards.

[Bernkastel]

Well, this certainly has been an interesting turn, even if some developments were more unpleasent than others. But I will persevere.

[Spoonist]

Fall 1901

Germany +3
Austria +2
Russia +1
Turkey +1
France +1
Italy +1
England +0

[OmegaChief]

I see the French Admirality has yet to sober up.

[Spoonist]

So could someone get France off the bottle?
A triple hold, really? Germany getting 3, really?

[Dr Roberts]

I wasn't even traveling in that direction. God knows what's going on.

[atg]

Looks like the playdip website is experiencing some troubles at the moment.

[atg]

[Spoonist]

Me I thinks that we need a SDN Dippy IV pretty soon, with approximately the same players, cause this aint gonna end well.

[Spoonist]

Just a note since there is so little messaging going on, if everyone Finalizes their orders the turn will process right away.

So if you have done dippying for that round and think you have your orders in order you can just click Orders>Finalize and the turns will go faster.

[atg]

Everyone should finalize orders! I'm not impatient.... lol

[Dr Roberts]

Hurry up and finalize people.
