It is now Spring 1901. You have (expired on 2024-04-19 09:20:48) to submit your orders. If all living players submit AND agree to end the phase, I may resolve the Season early. Happy Hunting.

The “G’Day Mate” of Austria… dear god

Also Jingle will we be allowed access to the Backstabbr room? Just to make it easier to see the board. I’ll need to either use that or create my own parallel instance to keep track of this madnrdd

My plan was to run it as a sandbox
I've got a site launch tonight, but when I'm back at the hotel I'll look at how easy it would be to grab the links.

At the very least I will be posting the map during every phase, so the most up to date map will always be in this thread regardless of anything else.

[Jingle]

Egoing to spectate

Also @Jingle I highly recommend going to your backstabbr settings and enabling 'Enable colored shading of occupied provinces' - makes the map look much nicer and it's more obvious what everyone controls

Nice catch!

An update:

I am aware of all the things. No orders have been submitted thus far with improper structuring. That is all the mod action warranted at this time.

[Jingle]

Sorry for the delay in resolution. I had the post ready this morning and saved it but something broke in the Imgur. There are no order conflicts requiring a Summer season, but it’ll be lunchtime before I can get back to a computer I can access backstabbr on.

[Jingle]

Summer is for retreats and conflict resolutions when those things come up. Winter is for that and resupply. Both phases have shorter deadlines because they’re really just potential resolution phases.

[Jingle]

As models turn on the catwalk, so too does Spring turn to Summer.

Unfortunately, Summer of 1901 was boring as fuck, so we're gonna skip right past it to Fall 1901. Get ready for a whole new era, featuring the thrilling music of ABBA and an innocent dog getting launched into space where it dies a gruesome death. Also, something something the tides of war something.



DEADLINE IS (expired on 2024-04-21 17:09:27)!

GOTTA WAR FAST!

Edit: It was brought to my attention that the wrong screenshot was placed here. This is the accurate game board.

[Jingle]

Screenshot changed for convenience.

[Jingle]

NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISCOTENTS!



Deadline: 24 Hours!

[Jingle]

Where's the convoluted version with all the arrows? I should be confused when I look at a big map like this, not perfectly informed with no issues!

[Jingle]

I'll probably be unable to update the linked Backstabbr until tomorrow evening, so be aware that the above information is the current data.

[Jingle]

State of the World, 1902

As we can all tell, the earth is flat and abruptly ends just south of the Mediterranean Sea.

AniX - Administrator of Turkeys - Yellow - 4
Cephrir - Wizard King of Italy - Green - 4
JacksonVirgo and KayJayQueue - Royal Family of France - Light Blue - 5
ORAM - Council of Russia - Purple - 5
DragonEater and usesPython - Apex Predators of England - Dark Blue - 5
Straight Flush - Master Beaurocrat of Germany - Black - 4
Gypyx - G'Day, Mate of Austria - Red - 5



It is now Spring 1902. You have (expired on 2024-04-25 21:53:51) to submit your orders. If all living players submit AND agree to end the phase, I may resolve the Season early. Happy Hunting.

[Jingle]

@mod I submitted a fleet build yet seem to have acquired an army

Same here

Fixed. Adding 12 hours to deadline to apologize for the confusion and make it so I'm not resolving the phase at work.

[Jingle]

Back in the summer of 1902, uh-huh
It was the summer of 1902, oh, yeah
Me and my baby in 1902, oh, oh
It was the summer, summer, summer of 1902



Russia Russia Russia!

Russia needs to choose a retreat for the Rum Fleet. Until this is done, no one may communicate. Russia may post this retreat publicly if she so chooses, at which point, y'all can talks again.

[Jingle]

Please remember to submit orders by the deadline. I’ve had a few submissions after deadline and once I’ve begun processing orders I don’t go back to check if there are new ones post deadline.

I’ll post a deadline and board tonight, but feel free to begin plotting

[Jingle]

Might be late resolving tonight, this airbnb sucks Wi-Fi wise.

[Jingle]

Action Resolution!

Several players submitted actions after the deadline, but I had already resolved the Sandbox.

As a reminder, please submit your actions before deadline. As an additional reminder, all action submissions should contain a complete list of actions, as the most recent PM is the only thing I will check while resolving.

(expired on 2024-04-30 19:30:09)

More recent post is the actual board state.

[Jingle]

Are you sure you’re checking the actions/deadlines properly because I submitted shit 45 minutes before the time shown here and if you lock it before that timer for some reason that should be clearer

I think I see what happened, actually. For some reason my deadline counters were changing to display not the same timezone as my posts, which caused confusion on my end. My post is displaying the deadline as 4 hours earlier than it actually is according to the tag when I edit. That does mean the UP and JV submissions were on time. I'll fix that momentarily.

Springtime!

[Jingle]

A mod error occurred with the Fall 1902 resolution, but I didn't catch it because the board state did not change as a result of the error. F Sev H Succeeds should have been F Sev - Rum Fails.

[Jingle]

Goddammit, so it does.

I missed that when fixing my deadline error, and it's become compounded.

Given the non mafia nature of this game and the fact that it's probably best if I not try to resolve anything in my current state, I'll let the group decide on a course of action.

We can restart the game, continue from post 76, or rewind to the correct resolution of F1902.

I apologize to all of you for the quality of moderation in this game. I have been trying to get sick for a few days, but I should have found someone to help me resolve things instead of fucking up consistently.

[Jingle]

(expired on 2024-05-05 12:12:23)


It looks like this is the consensus. Winter of 1902

Again, sorry for the disruption and the inconvenience, I will be docking my pay accordingly.

New Backstabbr link, (sandbox'd from previous state instead of multiple rollbacks) https://www.backstabbr.com/sandbox/None ... 5407492096

(expired on 2024-05-08 14:31:28)

[Jingle]

More than half of submissions haven't been received, so I'm extending the phase by 24 hours.

[Jingle]

AniX has requested replacement.

[Jingle]

[Jingle]

(expired on 2024-05-14 20:00:00)

[Jingle]

I'm still attempting to find a replacement for the moment. I'm additionally open to suggestions about alternate options.

[Jingle]

Ending the game would be an option if people want. On an individual level it's not much different to search for one replacement or 2 if others are just not feeling the game anymore.

[Jingle]

PookyTheMagicalBear replaces AniX. No one else has explicitly notified me of a burning desire for replacement, so the season will resume with (expired on 2024-05-15 10:12:06) on the clock!

[Jingle]

(expired on 2024-05-16 12:44:44)

RETREAT!

[Jingle]

(expired on 2024-05-16 13:44:44)

DESTROY! BUILD! DESTROY!

[Jingle]

i think maybe it would be best to

replace me

. sorry, i just don't like this game as much as i expected to

:THUMBSUP:

[Jingle]

ALLCAPS

[Jingle]

Deadline paused for replacement.
