PE, thanks for your congrats, but it's not me the one who played very well.
I took over kaner406's position in Dip. Autumn, 1909. (
threadID=22998).
I will turn your congrats to kaner406 as he'll come back.
So... sorry, but I can't do meaningful comments because when I took it over I was already in a splendid position and fighting with everybody but UK. I played only last 7 Dip phases. So no strategy, at that point. Only tactics.
I just can tell you something about this thread.
At first, I wondered why PE (who's usually careful) opened a EoG...before the end!
Well, not a big issue, if it was only a misjudged time.
But I must confess that when you opened it (it was right after Ret Spr 1911 and Germany just missed his retreat to Hun from Yug), I thought you were Japan (my 2nd most serious enemy) complaining about a "retarded" Germany who missed that important retreat. LOL.
Only after the next turn, when you threw all you had against UK, I realized that the missed retreat was intentional and you were actually Germany complaining about UK! It was rather obvious... a shame I didn't understand it earlier.
Yeah. I do the same when the only chance to survive is helping the winner to win... ASAP!
(I throw all against a weaker enemy, I mean. And usually he's the latest enemy I got)
However. Can I ask you a favour?
I followed what you and Oli said. I have to tell you that I agree with Oli.
But what I want to ask you is to read this
threadID=23668, in which I wrote my considerations about how anonymous game are misused (with my awful rethorical questions, please forgive me, I can do nothing about my style), and to read how an anonymous player feels when somebody else in the same game reveals himself in a Forum.
What I hope is that I can convince you and that a smart thinker like you will join the battle against NAA games.
Thank you. :)
Kind regards,
G.
