Autumn, 1578: GameMaster: Someone has taken over Shimazu replacing "sweabia". Reconsider your alliances. |

Autumn, 1578: Seriously, the dominant power on the board and who had extensive private press reach has now been replaced? Terrrrrrrific. |

Autumn, 1578: Private press reach? |
21 Dec 18 UTC |
Autumn, 1578: We should band together and stop this new threat |
21 Dec 18 UTC |
Autumn, 1578: And in the next phase, the /new/ dominant power fails to move? Shnikees, folks! |
21 Dec 18 UTC |
Autumn, 1578: I am about to do the pre holiday long drive. Will try not miss a phase, but am NOT readying up to allow the full run of the clock... should be connected reliably again in about 20 hours |
22 Dec 18 UTC |
Autumn, 1578: Where you driving? |
22 Dec 18 UTC |
Spring, 1579: south eastern california to southern oregon... 900 miles approx |

Spring, 1581: Man this is going to be a rough autumn |

Spring, 1581: How did I manage to fuck up this badly in Bungo |
27 Dec 18 UTC |
Spring, 1581: Don't worry, you'll have to fuck up a few more times to save me |
28 Dec 18 UTC |
Spring, 1581: The problem for you is that I don't have much to fuck up in the first place. |
28 Dec 18 UTC |
Autumn, 1581: I actually think my main problem is I have the rest of the players against me |

Spring, 1583: GameMaster: Oda 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. |
02 Jan 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1583: So unite against pink? |
02 Jan 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1583: Yeah, unite against me and it would be better if you abandoned your supply-centres for Oda as well. That's a better plan, right red? |
02 Jan 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1583: I was the first to draw |

Spring, 1584: The phase length is truly making this game effectively a gunboat game for me. I can never offer an option, then see and respond to replies before phases end. Holiday travel and family time mean I get one, maybe two, short sessions on line, usually once a day. That is part of the rationale behind my draw vote. I had negotiations with three players in substance during this game. One stabbed me for (I think) being habitually unresponsive. One repeatedly was unable to help me, again because I was unresponsive, and one NMRed and was replaced because (I again think) phase length. |

Spring, 1584: The schedule will remain like that for me until 10pm Sunday, US West coast time, which is, I think about 3 more phases, one of which, I am almost certain to miss. |

Spring, 1584: Same I had a feeling that this game was basically a gunboat. I tried to contact Mori, in order to beat down Shimazu, as he was in a corner. He just ran straight into me, and Shimazu proposed an alliance. I went with it, then I got stabbed by him just as Mori jumped at me. I had two supply centres, Shimazu majorily fucked up with his moves and I was able to get behind his lines. I thought that this game would be full of negotiations but in reality no one wanted to talk. |
