18 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1901: (fasces349): Since I am making the claim that I have a guaranteed victory, I will be giving you the benefit of making my moves public knowledge prior to the turn advancing. Here are my moves up to Spring of 1902, after that I do have to make some adjustments to my strategy depending on what orders you gave. Spring 1901: London-Norway Eng-MAO Fall 1901: Norway-St Petes North Sea-Denmark MAO-Spain SC Build: Fleet London. Army Liverpool Fleet Edi Spring 1902 Spain-West Med St Petes to Moscow Denmark to Sweden Lvp to Yor Edi to North Sea Lon to Eng Channel
18 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1901: Info: This is a choose your country game.
18 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1901: So if I get a draw than I win? Since you claim it is a guaranteed victory after all
18 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1901: Aren't you the won who claimed you could solo as any country on any map? A draw is a draw, a solo is a solo lol
18 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1901: yes but you also claimed "I am making the claim that I have a guaranteed victory," when you said victory there I thought you meant soloing. Did you mean a draw instead?
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Using this strategy neither me nor president eden has lost a game. However the exact moves weren't made public in the game, so while I am pretty sure I can still win, there is a chance that I wont. Either way, we both made outrageous claims and one of us will be shortly proven wrong.
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Was President Eden also playing as England?
18 Jun 13 UTC	Spring, 1902: President Eden has an undefeated record as England on this site. Over a year ago both of us took turns as Turkey trying to figure out a way to beat England. I lost as England once, but that was due to a series of misorders and neither of us could repeat the Turkish solo.
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Orders for this turn: Edi to Bel Eng to MAO West Med to Tunis St Petes to Moscow (This was the reason I couldn't give my orders following this turn, it was dependent on whether or not you would bounce me in Moscow) Builds next turn: Armies Edi and LVP Fleet Lon
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1902: *Yorkshire not Edi to Belgium.
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1902: My moves for the Spring (encase it effects your builds): Sweden to Finland St Petes to Moscow Belgium to Burgundy Edi to Holland Lvp to Edi Lon to Eng Mao to West Med Tunis to Tyrrhenian
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1902: once you confirm you want me to finalize, I will
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1902: finalize
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1903: St Petes- Livonia Finland- St Petes Holand- Kiel Edi- Holland Eng- Mao Bur- Mar Tyr- Rome West Med- Tunis
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Army Edi Army LVP Fleet Lon
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Orders for next turn: Livonia-Prussia Kiel-Berlin Holland-Ruhr Bur-Mar MAO-West Med Rome to Tyrhh supported by Tunis Edi to Holland Mao to West Med Lon to Eng
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1904: interesting, noone has bounced me in Prussia before. Bad luck about the misorder. I'd be happy to restart if you want. But I do have 1 amendment I would like to make to a previous order.
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1904: no I'm fine with it. I am basing my theory right now (for this game alone) that, given the information, I can make the best moves possible.Since I know exactly how you will act I move accordingly to maximize my moves and minimize yours. Thus, I can reasonably leave centers free, and take (in a normal game) "risky" and "crazy" alternatives that have little chance of success. This is to try and support my point that if you can accurately guess your opponents move, you can win any game that is not, fundamentally, unbalanced. I'll explain the bounce later if you want?
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1904: Ruhr to Munich supported by Berlin and Burgundy Holland to Kiel Livonia to Warsaw Tyrr to GoL West Med to Tyrr supported by Tunis Edi to Holland Eng to MAO
18 Jun 13 UTC	Autumn, 1904: No the bounce made sense. I would rather be in Prussia right now then in Berlin right now. and your right about the advantage of knowing exactly what I will do making you make moves that you would never do in real life. Had I not been announcing my orders, I would have done a few orders (only around 2-3 thus far) differently, but I have to make more cautious moves knowing that if it comes to a 50-50 bounce, it will go your way.
