29 Nov 16 UTC	Spring, 1501: (Rancher): well, this is not modern diplomacy, but let's go with it
04 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1501: Hopefully this game will be starting soon: http://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=29110 Come and join!
08 Dec 16 UTC	Spring, 1502: To be honest, when I sighed up for this game, I didn't realise it was going to be so slow. I didn't check. Basically one year per month of real time... dip x 2, retreat x 2, build. Its hard to keep motivation up for communications and it starts to feel a little like a very slow gunboat.
08 Dec 16 UTC	Spring, 1502: Maybe we should all agree to play like it's gunboat
08 Dec 16 UTC	Spring, 1502: I don't think gunboat will speed it up, people just have to actually hit ready when they are ready, especially on retreats and builds.
08 Dec 16 UTC	Spring, 1502: Plus the no process days slow things down more too
15 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1502: Can we hit ready on builds and retreats so this will go faster?
16 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1502: Yes.. sorry, but i was out of town for a couple of days and I was afraid of losing a turn.... so I slow down the movement... now I'll hit ready when I'll be ready.
17 Dec 16 UTC	Spring, 1503: Ya'll should all go see Rouge One. Solid B movie. I would give it an A- if it wasn't for one certain line. If you're a Star Wars fan you'll know what line I'm talking about as soon as you hear it.
20 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1503: Sorry folks, I had a computer failure while travelling and have only been able to restore access to the game now. Back into it again now...
23 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1503: Just a heads up ya'll. I'll be heading to Ohio and later to Canada for Christmas. I will be able to check periodically but not terribly often. I should be able to keep up communications and get my orders in on time but my responses might not be as quick. Merry Christmas everyone!
23 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1503: I'm staying in Ohio ...
23 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1503: Drunken question...Whats your favorite nation in vanilla dip? Mine is Austria followed by France, England, and Turkey.
23 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1503: For sure Germany, followed by England and Austria.
23 Dec 16 UTC	Autumn, 1503: Oh... Vij, you're here! Thought you'd disappeared!
15 Jan 17 UTC	Autumn, 1505: Vij has been absent now for 13 days + and Delhi for 6 days. Frankly, its starting to ruin the game. Certainly it is distorting it...
15 Jan 17 UTC	Autumn, 1505: Yes, it is..
15 Jan 17 UTC	Autumn, 1505: The player for Delhi is a pleasant person to play with, but he has dropped 3 out of 6 games so far on vDip and its looking quite possible he'll drop this one also. Vij has dropped 4 turns so far and has been away now for 2 weeks. Surely they'll go to CD soon and we can get some active players in?
15 Jan 17 UTC	Autumn, 1505: GameMaster: Persia 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.
15 Jan 17 UTC	Autumn, 1505: GameMaster: Persia voted for a Cancel. If everyone votes Cancel all points will be refunded and the game will be deleted from the database.
