17 Mar 21 UTC	Spring, 1920: GameMaster: Italy 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 Apr 21 UTC	Autumn, 1922: GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders.
15 Apr 21 UTC	Gg, guys, that was a tough game.
15 Apr 21 UTC	GG Germany, gg. Other countries....whooo boy I have some words for you. Turkey, your play at the end threw the game. That is unacceptable. Also, I'm annoyed you for some reason wanted to prevent me from attacking Italy in the beginning? I was very clearly going for Tripoli. That should be something you let happen. Especially when Italy started off as well as they did against France. Russia, why on earth did you build fleet north in 1913?? I was as pro-Russia as possible (not convoying), and Germany is uber-strong on this map with that extra center. And then even when he takes Sweden from you, you just...keep bashing your head against Austria? Honestly all the eastern powers were just extremely frustrating - Austria, you did the best you could, but I think as Germany was growing you could've stood to be a bit more proactive there. 1922 it might have made a difference. But as much as I was frustrated by this game, I'm sure you were even moreso than me. France - I think we worked well together...or as best as we could. At least I have no complaints about your play, except you were a bit overprotective of Brest :p As for me, my blunder was forgetting it was fall when I moved to Hel. Stupid, stupid mistake, and I deserved to die for it. It was supposed to be a spring move, grab Belgium in the fall, an have a build to cover Edi.
15 Apr 21 UTC	Well done Germany. Once you got behind my lines - and you caught me off guard there - I was toast. But we’ll ground out from there
15 Apr 21 UTC	I was absolutely overprotective of Brest — and then let someone else march right in. Given how close Italy came to wiping me off the map, then Turkey, then Germany, I'll take the survive. Thanks all!
15 Apr 21 UTC	Italy one thing that bothered me all game - fall 1913 moves...why support yourself to Switzerland from Piedmont and not Milan? Not that it would've changed all that much, but it could've kept that French fleet from touching the Med.
15 Apr 21 UTC	@England: I like it when other players analyze the game of the others. "Threw the game" is a bit exaggerate. I want to cooperate with Germany but then I lost Liverpool. At the end I lost a bit stupid Moscow. I just speculates wrong and this could happen. What should I do better? And you dont annoyed me in the beginning. I just want the bounce for a few years in Egypt. And because its a gunboat game I could not knew that your opening is against Italy and Tripoli. If I would have known it before I qould have not moved to Syria.
15 Apr 21 UTC	Well yes first year moves are always a guess. But after spring when you saw I moved to CYR and not Eastern Med, I was pro-Turkey (as every England should be). I would've either 1) Refrained from bouncing there or 2) With my Smyrna build the next year immediately go for Egypt and hope Austria is friendly. Had Austria kept doing their guaranteed moveset bouncing Aegean, you would've been trapped for even longer in your corner. As for your move to Liverpool in 1920, I don't think that was bad. You needed Germany to attack France to break the Med, and could only hope Russia would break Austria quick enough to attack Germany and prevent the solo. But 1921 you attacked Russia. And that threw the game. I was dead, France was busy in the south, and you just helped kill off the only check to German power. Had you completely backed off from France when you stabbed Russia, that's one thing. But you didn't, and France couldn't defend themselves. I suppose PPSC incentivizes this sort of behavior, but I dislike it.
15 Apr 21 UTC	@england. Simply trying not to be overtly full on attack on France in year one. Expected a little element of surprise when headed towards him year two. Unfortunately he had exactly the same idea!
16 Apr 21 UTC	@England Many things you said are true. The reason to attack Russia was that I could not accept his move into the black sea. The German surprising attack on Russia was at the same moment. I couldnt know it. I would never attacked Russia but the move into the black sea makes me angry. GG
