First of all, thank you Brad for GMing this game.
I used to love writing EOGs but in the last few years, I have a horrible time remembering what happened and I lose interest in writing it. And frankly, that sucks. Anyway, I'll try.
The German and I exchanged one, maybe two emails. That was it. He had his battles and I had mine and we just didn't communicate. Pretty dumb in retrospect.
It has been mentioned that the Austrian may have been new to the game and I am not proud to say that I took advantage of that possibility. The fact that Russia and Austria seemed constantly at odds made that path much simpler. You both deserved much more respect from me than I gave. Sorry.
England and I were almost on the same path as I took with Germany. It was damned near halfway thru the game before we started writing frequently. I considered attacking England because his balance of fleets to armies made his expansion outlook slow, if not bleak. However, that number of fleets made him very well defended and if we had not agreed to join forces, a stalemate was inevitable. Besides, Italy made a superb coordinator of treaties.
Yeah, I do so love being in a game with George. Communication is what makes this game so special and when you come across someone with a flair for humorous writing, it rises to a level of complete enjoyment. George, I'm,so glad you arranged this measured ending.
Finally to France. Sendric, I owe you, man. If I'm ever lucky enough to get into another game with you, I hereby extend a solemn promise to be a rock-solid ally. I had to choose between you and George and by the time that crossroads was met, I had already committed to Italy. Next time, bro.
In closing, I wish more people played this game. I long for the old days of 6-10 games going on at the same time, the Patriot Games and the Tournament of Champions. I kept a folder in my Outlook Express. I may have missed a few by mistakenly deleting too quickly, but I had collected 836 emails in this game over a 6 month period. That's bloody fantastic. Diplomacy on Redscape is one of the true joys of this old man's life and I look forward to the next game.
A sincere thanks to one and all.
