08 Aug 22 UTC	Bidding: 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.
08 Aug 22 UTC	Bidding: haha.... The game was extended as a player didn't enter orders - if you 'save', it'll tick over until the deadline then advance, if all players 'ready, it'll advance as soon as the last player readies up :) looking at it, everyone now has put bids in

11 Aug 22 UTC	Autumn, 1550 BC.: I have no idea what im doing lol
11 Aug 22 UTC	Autumn, 1550 BC.: Don't worry, that's the perk of this game being a learning thing :) I'm around on Sunday and can go through some how to's etc - alternatively drop me a discord message and I can break things down. I'd really recommend reading this: https://www.vdiplomacy.com/intro.php It gives you an overview of moves - for example, your move Olympia -> Ithaca needed a fleet in the Olympian Sea to 'convoy' Olympia -> Ithaca. These can chain (i.e we could have Thassos -> Chalies if the fleet in Thracian Sea, and Aegean Sea, both entered the Convoy Thassos -> Chalies). Ignoring Fleet's convoying units, you can only move to a neighbouring space. An army in Olympia can move to Achaia, Messenia, Sparta, Panon or Argos. A Fleet in Olympia can move 'around the coast' to Achaia or Messenia, but could move into the Olympian Sea. I also saw in your original moves that you 'bumped' a lot of your own troops (i.e Argos -> Achaia and Olympia -> Achaia) - only 1 unit can occupy a space. If you want 1 unit to support another, use the 'support' option (it'll break down like Argos -> Achaia and Olympia support Argos -> Achaia). In terms of territory, and what matters, there's territory which have those little white circles with black dots - they're called Supply Centres (SCs) - the number of them in your colour is how many units you can control (most of us will be building as we've taken more SCs than we have troops - you'll be losing 1 as I pinched Argos, and Byzantium hasn't taken any more SCs so won't be building). On this map you can build on any unoccupied SC you control.
11 Aug 22 UTC	Autumn, 1550 BC.: Yeaaaaa look, it’s all part of my 400 IQ, 4D chess plan to win, you can’t comprehend it, I’m like Paul mason
12 Aug 22 UTC	Spring, 1549 BC.: You're possibly not understanding Social Diplomacy correctly from a Marxism standpoint
13 Aug 22 UTC	Spring, 1549 BC.: half my fleets didn't move because of one Persian fleet bouncing them Feels like an important lesson in not sending all your units in a long queue of moves behind each other
13 Aug 22 UTC	Spring, 1549 BC.: Okay only 2, not half of them. But I'm still resentful
