20 Sep 23 UTC	Spring, 1901: Hello everyone! Good luck
21 Sep 23 UTC	Spring, 1901: GameMaster: Russia 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.
21 Sep 23 UTC	Spring, 1901: Please everyone vote draw so I can pick up an easy win :P
21 Sep 23 UTC	Spring, 1901: My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead– murdered by my brother-in-law, Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a meth empire for over a year now, and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, he asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded. I... I always thought Hank was a very moral man, and I was particularly vulnerable at the time – something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me in on a ride-along and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin, so I agreed. Hank had a partner, a businessman named Gustavo Fring. Hank sold me into servitude to this man. And when I tried to quit, Fring threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Hank and Fring had a falling-out. Things escalated. Fring was able to arrange – uh, I guess... I guess you call it a "hit" – on Hank, and failed, but Hank was seriously injured. And I wound up paying his medical bills, which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Hank was bent on revenge. Working with a man named Hector Salamanca, he plotted to kill Fring. The bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Hank had risen to become the head of the Albuquerque DEA. To keep me in line, he took my children. For three months, he kept them. My wife had no idea of my criminal activities, and was horrified to learn what I had done. I was in hell. I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, and in response, he gave me this. [Walt points to the bruise on his face left by Hank in "Blood Money."] I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Hank will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. All I could think to do was to make this video and hope that the world will finally see this man for what he really is.
27 Sep 23 UTC	Spring, 1902: Yo! Russia are you still with us?
29 Sep 23 UTC	Autumn, 1902: I'm still here. I'm in Australia so the time zone is usually a little different to everyone else
29 Sep 23 UTC	Autumn, 1902: I can imagine that being weird, always communicating with people and then needing to wait until the next morning to get their response because they are asleep
12 Nov 23 UTC	Autumn, 1908: Any takers?: https://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=57742
19 Nov 23 UTC	GG. That was an insane game. I'm glad its through.
19 Nov 23 UTC	Many shifting alliances with a Russian wild card to top things off.
19 Nov 23 UTC	Good game everyone
19 Nov 23 UTC	That was a pretty fun game! Always a pleasure to stick around and do stuff after being forced out of your home centers.
19 Nov 23 UTC	GG all!
19 Nov 23 UTC	How did the game get drawn? Was there a vote I didn't know about?
19 Nov 23 UTC	@Russia, everyone voted draw. Did you vote by mistake?
20 Nov 23 UTC	Russia, you were the first to draw. Look back at the global chat for Spring 1901.
