Electronic Protocol Games played on the Diplomacy Adjudicator

I have split this issue into two parts (parts 1 and 2) due to its size!

(PARTS ONE AND TWO are in issue 294, part 1)
PART THREE - Report from the Battle Front
    Cubit endgame report
    Evolt endgame report
    Gallon endgame report
    Hector endgame report
    Lot endgame report
    Ounce endgame report

(The lot endgame statements are worth reading, mostly due to Russia's
 controversial 11 to 18 centre comeback in the last year.)

From: Judge Dash Request <jdr@u.washington.edu>

Due to popular consensus, Diplomacy game Evolt has been declared an
English-Russian-Turkish draw.  France admits defeat.

-Ken


Broadcast message from cebulad@physics.orst.edu as Turkey in evolt:

Thanks for an excellent game.  Everyone played well.  Stabs seemed to
be the key here.  The Juggernaut would have been pretty nasty if Russia
had not of stabbed me.  I was in real trouble from France, but Andre
helped me out with his stab.  Its always a more interesting game when
you patch things up between countries after a stab (or two).  Its
just too bad things are so balanced to prevent a single win.  I hope
to see all of you in future games.

-Dave


Broadcast message from andre@duteind.et.tudelft.nl as England in evolt:

 Hoi Guys,

 Thank you all for playing. I think this was all I could get from it.
 Russia and Turkey were just a bit too strong to push back. I am sorry
 for France who has been a trustworthy ally for so long. However the
 progress he made was a little disappointing. That was the reason of
 my stab.
 When I look back at this game, I have had better moments to stab, but
 at that moment it was not one of my options.

 Hope to see you again some day.
 Andre/England

Broadcast message from lokendr@ecf.toronto.edu as France in hector:

I'm glad I was fortunate enough to be the one to finish the game off.
Thanks to everyone for keeping this game running smoothly, I definitely
had fun.

It was definitely quite interesting to be able to win this game without
France taking a single Italian centre. We were quite a team :-)

My Best Wishes to all the players in this game, no hard feelings I hope,
none taken. All the best in your future conquests.

Subject: Diplomacy notice: lot

Broadcast message from maltby@unpsun1.cc.unp.ac.za as Turkey in lot:

Hello all,

Having taken Turkey over from a friend who had just been stabbed
by Russia I decided to follow his likely response - the armoured
duck.  So I broke off all engagements with France over Italy and
headed behind Russian lines.  That resulted in enormous gains
for France - 5 builds for that year.  Next I felt rather guilty
at having dashed Russia's hopes so - I am not a heavily armoured
duck myself.  Russia and France had already agreed that France
would win, and that served Russia right!  But, feeling guilty, I
offered to support Russia again and try to arrange a neat final
battle between Russia and France.  Alas, we miscalculated and
Russia decimated the remaining Germans as well as myself,
getting 7 builds in the process.  So no final battle there.

My apologies to you, Joakim.  I didn't mean to sink you, I just
wanted to make sure you had to fight for it.  Just a great pity
about the enormous success of things!  Sorry, once again.

Cheers

Gavin


Broadcast message from ndb026@nov.hb.se as France in lot:


>11 to 18 centres in one year?
>
>Could someone tell me what is going on around here?

Well, with a turkish player with only one interrest, to terminate
this game as soon as possible, it ended up like this.
He gave Russia all his centers freely.

The question is why he signed on in the first place. Turkey?

Broadcast message from d91-dho@nada.kth.se as Russia in lot:

I really do not know. Have you got the latest result? I have not been
very active in this game, actually.... believe it or not...

Could I have a copy of the latest hall of fame, by the way?

Broadcast message from d91-dho@nada.kth.se as Russia in lot:

Seems that I came out of it all more lucky than I could ever imagine.
But truly, I intended to give away the victory to Joakim...

Russia


Broadcast message from nick@sunburn.uwaterloo.ca as Observer in lot:

Russia:  Why would you want to hand the win to France, is this Diplomacy?

Nick


Broadcast message from d91-dho@nada.kth.se as Russia in lot:

I got persuaded and felt that he deserved it more than I. And anyway it
was pointless to fight both France and Turkey at the same time. Therefore
I wanted to end a strong second.

Russia

    was pointless to fight both France and Turkey at the same time. Therefore
    I wanted to end a strong second.

How many times do we have to go through this.  There is no such thing
as a second place finish in Diplomacy.  Check the Hall of Fame, see
what a second place finish gets, 0.  The same as and 1901 elimination.
Do you guys read EP, we did a piece on this one in the last issue!!

* = 1 unused build.

Index is the sum of squares of the number of supply centers divided by the
number of players.  It is a measure of how far the game has progressed.

Some of them are legitimate, but most of them are bogus.  I don't believe
in draws that are not stalemates.  Game Ounce is not a stalemate; I will
not declare it a draw.  I will, however, declare it a Russian win!  Russia
can take and hold Munich, Smyrna and Trieste uncontested.  Congratulations
Russia.  I hope Italy thinks twice before handing you the win at the expense
of the other players next time.
