29 May 17 UTC	Autumn, 1649: Would have helped to know this was "build in any center you own" from the beginning (that would have changed my early strategy). I've written the mods to add this to the game description.
09 Jun 17 UTC	Spring, 1651: GameMaster: Someone has taken over Palatinate Wittelsbach replacing "demeter". Reconsider your alliances.
15 Jun 17 UTC	Autumn, 1651: Wettin, are you dragging out retreat and build phases for any particular reason?
16 Jun 17 UTC	Spring, 1652: Ooh! Ooh! I readied up first!
16 Jun 17 UTC	Spring, 1652: congrats
16 Jun 17 UTC	Spring, 1652: in a few more turns I probably won't need to
05 Jul 17 UTC	Autumn, 1655: I got back to this game with twenty seconds left to enter orders. whew.
22 Jul 17 UTC	Autumn, 1658: There's nothing quite as embarrassing as missing orders when you've checked in earlier in the day. Sorry, guys. :(
22 Jul 17 UTC	Autumn, 1658: Well you gained a build
22 Jul 17 UTC	Autumn, 1658: But now my ally has to destroy a unit.
31 Jul 17 UTC	Spring, 1660: GameMaster: Bavarian Wittelsbach voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
08 Aug 17 UTC	Good game. I think I could have solo'd, but I made a few mistakes along the way. Best not to drag it out.
08 Aug 17 UTC	fun times! you might have still gotten it, but we were going to give it our best fight
08 Aug 17 UTC	Yes, a good show indeed! I feel very fortunate to make the draw considering I made more mistakes in this one game than in all my games here at vDip. I sure was I was going to be eliminated for about 2/3 of this game!! And then Spanish Hapsburg was oh so close to the solo in the end. Nice play by Bavaria on thwarting that. Early, I thought I thought Bavaria and I would take the lead and each have a chance to solo, but the stab by Bavaria in favor of Hohenzollern as a partner put an end to that. And then the additional stab by the Pope later put me close to the edge. Fortunately, I was able to find a way out of elimination. The knights, as well as the layout of the territories make this a very tricky variant.
08 Aug 17 UTC	And it doesn't help that the territories have overly long and duplicative names!!
