Diplomacy 1: Learner Game

[Grimbold]

Takers (correct me if I'm wrong):
-MadVlat: Turkey
-Vardaen: Russia
-Amaris: Italy?
-Melvyst: France
- Kilroy: Germany
-3rd-I: England
-Brennor: Austria?

I'll pm Brennor to see if he is playing. If not, we could perhaps find another player?
(Estimated starting date is Monday). For those who know their nations, feel free to roleplay a bit right here.

[Kilroy]

Kilroy Von Kilroy has self-decreed himself as the leader of the modern German war machine. The people of the Motherland rejoice (or so the government controlled papers say)!

"Greetings fellow leaders! I look forward to negotiations with all of you!"

[Vardaen]

Drunk on Vodka and wearing very tall fur hats, the steriotype Russian Czar Vardamir Postsalot raises the hammer and sickle flag over his domain and sets his sights on the rest of soon to be Not-So-Free world.

Havent yet heard from B. If I don't hear anything today, we will try and give Amaris Italy, and find someone else for Austria-Hungary.
I also thought of limiting the number of turns to 10. The winner is the one who controls the most supply centers after 10 turns. Tell me what you think.

"You've seen all sorts in shapes and sizes, marauding about the moppamound. How's the cock and the bullfight? And old Auster and Hungrig? And the Beer and Belly and the Boot and Ball? Not forgetting the oils of greas under that turkey in julep and Father Freeshots Feilbogen in his rockery garden with the costard? And
tid you meet with Peadhar the Grab at all?"

[Melvyst]

Limiting to 10 rounds looks good to me, I'm still a bit busy at the moment (we are building a house and have tons to negotiate) but should be ok from wednesday on.

[MadVlat]

Sounds good to me. We of the Ottoman empire embrace the chance to have the world bow to our whim. I Emir Tuktuk shall see that the fleeing refugees have bread and warmth in my lands. They may sit by the funeral pyres of their dead and eat of the finest goat milk cheese. Of course, they will sacrifice their women to our harems. For I tire of camel hair in my bed chamber...

[EvilMonkey]

If Brennor doesn't wish to play I'll give it a shot.

[Grimbold]

The game has officially started. Start negotiating, threatening whatever...
(Please do keep in mind that this is only a game - no real life rows...)

I would like to keep this thread a mix of ic and ooc. Put in as many flavour posts as you like and ask any rules questions here as well. Refer to the ooc rules and maps threads for more information.

The players are the following:
-MadVlat: Turkey
-Vardaen: Russia
-Amaris: Italy
-Melvyst: France
-Kilroy: Germany
-3rd-I: England
-Brennor/EvilMonkey: Austria (will join later today)

First deadline is exactly in four days (from the date of this post). I need your first orders by then (by pm). Please write "Spring 1901" as a subject, so I do not get confused.

Faites vos jeux!

[Vardaen]

OOC Question: How many, and where do our units start out at? What kinda troups do we begin with and where?

I would like to say to the rest of you, I'm looking forward to a good game here. I personally have never played this before, so I'm sure you don't all mind letting me win, thank you
