If you haven't let me know if you guys reciprocate! It's also up to y'all if you want to work out some sort of formal organization thingy like Mediterranean is doing or if you want to be #Casual allies, that's cool too. Just know I'll be around to help out.
I see you sitting back waiting to take advantage of a misstep from your neighbors. You've over-allied yourself and don't have a year one move that could possibly see you making gains unless it comes at the expense of one of your allies. What's your plan?
Supporting my allies. Joint victories are a thing, and not every country needs to earn a territory in the first year anyway.
In post 244, Klick wrote:3. @Kiel (N): As long as you're not attacking me, I have no interest in attacking you. I have reason to focus on the seas, and you benefit more from southern land gains. Non-aggression pact?
yes
Klick, can I ask that I be included on this? All of Germany wants no quarrel or war with you. We are focused on the people who have directly stated they're coming after us.
Sure thing. We both have more important things to worry about. Plus, the idea of Radio/Aya/Teeth cooperating sounds hilarious. I'll be a friend to Germany.
@Gale and random:
Cooperation with both Great Britain and Russia simultaneously is unreasonable. We're in the middle. We're who gets targeted in the North after the first few years if everything goes according to the current plan. As it stands now, we're drawing the short end of the stick while our neighbors are going to make quick gains. This is bad. I am still all for our Scandinavian alliance, but we need to pick a side. I'd love for us to be able to be allies with everyone around us if it were possible, but war is necessary for growth. I don't know how much experience either of you have with Diplomacy, but from my experience/according to logic, the nation in the middle of a multiple-nation alliance is most susceptible to being stabbed in the back. Gale, you in particular have nowhere to go if you support the current alliance. I don't see how it would be possible for you to gain any territory in the next 2-3 years without a stab. Edinburgh is moving to the North Sea, and that cuts you off from essentially the entire south. I propose we work with Germany and the Low Countries.
@Cybele and Jelly:
I'm in. Consider me an ally. What's the plan? I know the idea was that I'd get the first spoils, but I'm not really interested in that - I'd rather stay home and ensure my safety. One of you two should take the North Sea.
@STD:
Cybele's hinted at being willing to support you. I'm with you. Jelly's your brother. Want to work together and push on GB?
I think that allying with GB is our best move and ditching Russia whilst maintaining a non-aggression patch with Germany and moving into Holland. I think GB our our best chance for allies.
Cheery/Warsaw, a free Poland mustn't be beholden to Russia. If the armies of Germany and Austria arrive at your doorstep will you fight with us or stand in our way?
STD/Brest, have you decided if you will project your naval force north or south? If you work in concert with Bel/Hol/Den/Nor y'all can take both the English Channel and North Sea in the first turn and take a decisive upper hand against Britain by the end of year one.
midget/Sweden, where is your fleet headed? I think there is room for you to make considerable gains going against Russia with us.
I'm headed into the Baltic. I'll follow Klick's decisions, so I'll wait to see what they have to say.

Midget, Baltic is a declaration of war against Germany. Understand that before you lock your move in.
Klick, if midget won't follow your lead in Scandinavia I suggest we move towards eliminating him and getting either you or Gale control of his center.
In my last post I literally said I would follow whatever Klick decided. Nice slip. VOTE: OhGodMyLike
Your post reads: 'I want to ally with GB, but I'll follow what you do, Klick' which means you're not planning to ally with GB and you are on Klick's side, is this correct?
I would prefer for Scandinavia to ally with GB. But if Klick doesn't want to, I won't.
I really wouldn't trust Germany by the way people. OGML really shouldn't be trusted in particular.

I actually agree with Random, OGML's 417 was scary. If we want to support the German Low Countries, then I would like Klick to move into North Sea instead of Jelly.

Klick - Support Jelly>North Sea
I'll try to keep up with the thread after this post. Again, sorry! Super busy.
I'm for this. The other option was having Belgium support Brest, but it appears STD probably won't be contested anyway.
Gale
, this also frees you up to go into the Norwegian Sea if you're interested.
In post 478, Randomnamechange wrote:Klick are we waiting to see first round moves before deciding where we stand on alliances?
I've already made it clear what I prefer and will be supporting the Low Countries, but if you want to stay neutral to the whole thing, I don't mind. Just remember that Germany will consider it an act of war if you move south. Moving to Skagerrak might be a decent option?
So Random to Skagerrak, Klick to North Sea and I am going to Norwegian Sea. If this is okay for Jelly and Cybele, then I am with you guys. Otherwise, there is no difference to this plan from the previous plan and I would prefer to stick to my word (to DeathNote) if possible.
Jelly - Support Klick>North Sea
Cybele - Support Klick>North Sea
Klick - move to North Sea
Gale - Norwegian
Random - Skagerrak
Sorry, didn't see that.
In post 534, Cybele wrote:randomidget, what is your plan, as it stands?
I'm allying with Russia. I would still like to help Scandinavia, but I'm not allying with Germany. OGML has made it very clear he wants me gone, and once Russia falls I can be attacked from the East. If GB (who I still want to ally with) backstab us I won't get support from the rest of Scandinavia as they'll be too busy fighting on the Western Front.
Also, Germany could invade Scandinavia if they build fleets.

Let's clear this up. I very much appreciate your decision to not take the Baltic, and since you didn't I have no quarrel with you. As it stands right now none of the German states will be gaining a build this year, so there is no possibility of German fleets. I don't even have a coast to build fleets. The honorary German navy belongs to the Low Countries and Denmark, and they're engaged in the battle for the North Sea. No one is coming for Sweden. So with all that said, I think you need to reconsider your alliance with Russia, because Russia is the only place you can expand and gain territory. Germany will withdraw and defend itself against you if you move into the Baltic, and you're blocked in from the west by your Scandinavian allies. But I will gladly help you take StP in the coming turns. Warsaw will fall soon, and after that we'll be in position to make it happen.
Shouldn't have threatened me out of the blocks if you wanted to work with me.

Alright. I don't trust Britain. I'm going to trust Gale for now.
@Gale I think our best option here is genuinely to support Russia. They longer they can hold the longer we don't have to worry about being attacked from that direction.
@TheBreeze, I'm going to play this one defensively but if Gale shows he can be trusted I will move into a position to help you.
PEdit: Hey The Bad One. You up for Scandinavia-Russia alliance?
In post 1076, Snakes wrote:I like the other plan better. I'm cool supporting whoever wants to be supported into Belgium.
I would much rather prefer to work with Scandinavia, but if they're against us, that forces our hand.
Snakes
, would you support a Viking Army to Belgium via convoy from North Sea?
I think with Klick leaving us in a difficult position, we can look at a renewed agreement between GB and Scandinavia?

@Gale & Random
, how is our relationship with Germany? The way I see it, if Gale's plan from post 1145 works out, Random will occupy Kiel, Gale will occupy Ruhr and Holland & Belgium will be in hands of our allies as well. Thus I am pretty much forced to go to the Baltic Sea if I want to expand. So that's why I want to know how our relationship with Germany is at this point?
Germany is pretty dodgy. I really wouldn't trust OGML.
In post 1203, OhGodMyLife wrote:TBO, the reason not to trust that plan is that you are one of the people that it possibly leaves out to dry.
And N, that is definitely your cue to try to take Den. If he insists on loyalty to Scandinavia, we are best served trying to eliminate him altogether this year.
DN, I understand your position vis a vis nearby dangers and faraway Germany, but don't let yourselves fall too far behind. Snakes supporting STD into Bel this turn is a better move for you than letting Gale take it and hoping against hope that he'll give it up so STD doesn't get eliminated. For you personally, if you order your fleet to attack NTH this turn you will disrupt the convoy. If you support AcRv into NTH you will not just disrupt the convoy but take control of the space. Just some options to think about. This game is never as straightforward as 'this is my alliance trusty trust trust.' If Germany successfully knocks out Denmark this year you'll gain the upper hand at sea in a major way.
Yeah I don't mind snakes supporting STD into Belgium this turn. If that is what makes everyone happy, then I will just support hold my units. *shrugs*

I thought this meant something other than 'support me into Sweden'.
It did. Then you moved into Sweden thinking I wouldn't be there.
Is it me? or is this game bonkers, I don't see synergy in certain areas. *smh*
Whatever, I think of myself as an ally who can work well in the public press. Just not getting a good response from people. *sigh*
Well the game is almost over for me, so I will just try to hang in there till its possible.
Thats not true Action Dan, you need to read up to understand.
Yeah, no I read. You're an unabashed backstabber
Well, it's not entirely unabashed. But definitely backstabbing.

We're going to need two supports to take Norway. Thanks for helping me out OGML, I'm willing to trust you. Can I have Norway as I'm in a quite dangerous position?
I never meant to degrade you :/ I'm sorry especially if you saw me talking about your credibility as a personal attack. This is just a game and I don't want you to feel bad or anything over it. You've brightened up this thread many times and I've enjoyed your approach to the game regardless of us not staying on the same page.
Would be super cool if I can live for two years, I can probably be a convoy partner for folks across North Sea or Norwegian.
I am content to have done what I wanted to do wrt the game.
But I am sad for how things turned out to be. Somethings were actually unnecessary and opportunistic, both from me and towards me.
And I consider Randomidget and TBO as my biggest stabbers. Randomidget, used the snow ball you threw at me to make an avalanche, and TBO used delaying tactics to take the fun out of the game for me. Both of these players forced my move in spring - year 2, which was kind of a nail in the coffin I built for myself after Axxle's departure.
You live and learn I suppose *shrugs*
Anyways I built myself a time portal with Nikola Tesla's old blue prints in the fall, and found myself a Night Fury to ride into the clouds. Btw, for who ever of you nerds get Norway I have destroyed all traces of the Time portal, so don't expect to find anything but dirty laundry, hanging all around, on your way in.
I did not stab you. You stabbed me when you moved into Sweden after saying you would support me.

You, STD and midget go conquer Great Britain. It will take a few turns. It starts with trying to get a fleet in NTH. I'm going to support Midget's other unit into Den, and my other two armies will go south.
Do this and you will die matt. OGML was going to save pablito and zulfy last round and they are now dead because of him.
Where does this keep coming from that I was in any way interested in saving zulfy? I wanted zulfy to willingly walk towards the light so I could save pablito. Zulfy was never anything but explicitly anti-me this game, and personally unpleasant at times to boot.
Matt, your options are to trust me, or try to fight me. If you trust me we can both try to expand away from each other. You have a fleet and not an army so you're already handicapped in a hypothetical fight against me. I'm not interested in having that fight. If you're willing to trust me, simply do not attack Kiel this turn. You wouldn't be able to take it even if you did, but you would disrupt my support for midget to move out of Sweden.
Aronis, why are we at odds? I've been cheering on your coup since before it was a coup and I want to help you keep it going if I can. For starters, if nya builds a fleet in Gre, you should try to bounce it in the spring to keep it from moving next to Naples (and in doing so disrupt any plans to convoy Turkish armies around the Med). Rome will be yours by the end of the year.
Midget, fair enough. I'm not really in a position to fight GB myself, which is why I was encouraging you and Matt to go make some gains there, but we can leave well enough alone. The MedAgree is going to make the short hop to their island soon anyway, so just prepare yourself for what comes after they do. Can you confirm that whatever unit you build in Swe you'll use to take Den with my support this turn?
That would be N. Mainly we need to get you to three centers to improve your position for the next phase of the game which is quickly approaching as the surviving players consolidate their holdings.

What's he supposed to do, allow Great Britain to be swarmed by Midget, who you just suggested contest the north sea? I'd propose Ani/Mist act as a shield against germany, and the brits as one against Midget. Pivotal is the north sea, which if taken by midget will allow him to swarm you faster than you expect. I dunno what Matt plans to do, but he's got to know that helping Midget won't get him a supply center and that Ani + Mist have enough power to push back Germany.
As for Italy, it's important that The_Breeze attack Vienna/Budapest again, and Mario won't have any reason to cede Trieste simply to move to Venice. Whether or not Aronis goes to 1 or stays at 2 supply, there's a couple of ways to ensure him going to 1 or being eliminated in a 2-year time frame
I said ages ago I would rather not attack GB. They are the aggressors here.
