Rules
1. Diplomacy game rules can be read here: http://www.backstabbr.com/rules
One main difference from the rules given is in chaos diplomacy, you are allowed to build on any supply center you own, not just your home centre.

Spoiler: Most important mechanics to understand

For some more clarification on the mechanics of this game.
The phases will go in this loop, each loop being a year: (not including the year 0 build)
Movement (Spring)
Spring Retreat
Movement (Fall)
Fall Retreat
Builds

After the fall retreat, all supply centres that are currently occupied by an opposing unit switch sides. The supply centres are the countries with dots. (The territories people start with)
It's important noting that if someone is on your supply centre at the end of the spring phase, it's still yours because it doesn't change hands until the end of the fall phase.
The amount of supply centres you own at the end of each year is the max amount of units you can have. If you have more units than supply centres, you are forced to disband units on the build phase. Alternatively if you have more supply centres than units on the build phase, you will be allowed to build new units on any of your open supply centres.
If you ever find yourself with zero supply centres, then you will not be allowed to have any units making it impossible to take any more eliminating yourself from the game.
There can only ever be one unit in each territory.

Each unit can do 1 of 4 things during a movement phase.
They can

hold

which means they don't move.
They can

move

to another territory.
They can

support

the action of another unit. This increases the priority of the units action.
Fleets can

convoy

armies across water.
This link gives visuals and explains it.
http://webdiplomacy.net/intro.php

All orders are processed simultaneously so there will be conflicts. For example, if two different armies try to enter the same territory with no support, they will both "bounce" back and fail to enter it. One of these armies would need more support than the other to be able to take it.

Finally, if a unit gets displaced (if an army with 2 support moves onto a territory with only 1 army, it will displace the 1 strength army) it will either have to retreat or disband in the retreat phase.
Disbanding it removes it from the board. Retreating it lets you move it to an OPEN neighbouring territory that wasn't bounced that turn.

2. PM me your orders. They have to be clear and unambiguous or it will fail.

3. You may send me impossible orders, but it will fail to succeed.

4. Game ends when one player has 18 centers or all remaining players vote (via PM) for a draw. All draw votes remain anonymous and hidden and the game only ends if all remaining players vote for a draw.

5. No editing any of your posts. If you make a particularly embarrassing typo or grammatical mistake, you're going to have to live with that stain on your record.

6. Once you get officially eliminated, you're allowed a few bah posts, but don't clog up the thread.

7. If you don't know how a certain move combo would work out and you don't feel like researching it, don't hesitate to pm me to ask.

8. No talking strategy for this game outside the game thread. Everything must be public.

9. Take over the world and have fun.

10. Switzerland is impassable. No one can go there.

11. Remember that only owning supply centers give you units. Other territories don't give you any new units.

12, Request for an extension of deadline can be made at anytime in the game thread or via PM. They have to be bolded, and the duration of the extension has to be mentioned clearly.

The game has begun!

Everyone must PM me what build they want (fleet or army) for the first year.

You Have:
(expired on 2016-03-10 18:00:00)

[Fluminator]

Leggo. Before I say anything, are we allowed to talk right now? The rules say press is disabled during the build phase.

In public press, press is allowed during builds and retreats.
Thanks for asking.

[Fluminator]

I updated the first post with some basic mechanics for the game for those who are still a little confused about how Diplomacy works. Hopefully it clears it up a little.

[Fluminator]

Orders have been resolved.


Time Remaining until next phase.

(expired on 2016-03-13 20:00:00)

Please PM me your order for the spring movement phase by deadline.
Once again, http://webdiplomacy.net/intro.php is a good place for understanding orders.
Since this is the first movement turn, extra time will be given this phase.

[Fluminator]

Oops. The jdip sucked up a bunch of fleets for some reason. Give me a minute.

edit: FIXED

[Fluminator]

Sicily isn't actually a territory you can enter.

Correct
Sorry! Sicily isn't relevant enough.

Also, Flumi, if you can put the original map with all the names on it somewhere, like the second post? So it's less confusing to find people.

I did have an original map there, but the font was a little hard to read, so I just replaced it with a better map.

Also mod if you could include a map of all the alliances that would make you the best mod

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the game, I cannot update an alliances list.

[Fluminator]

Results coming. My computer decided to start being finnicky all of a sudden.

[Fluminator]

Orders have been resolved.

Check the second post for specific orders sent.

Everyone must PM me their movement orders. I'll give 48 hours since the retreat phase was skipped.

REMEMBER THAT AT THE END OF THIS TURN, ALL SUPPLY CENTERS WITH A DIFFERENT UNIT ON IT CHANGES HANDS.
(Don't forget about the retreat phase.)

[Fluminator]

Extra extra!

Word on the street is last night, Cuddly Caucasian, the leader of Serbia, was out in a monastery doing poetry. While he was out there a new faction took over the government.

Drixx has replaced Cuddly Caucasian as the leader of Serbia.

[Fluminator]

One more announcement.

Since the retreat phase was skipped last round I feel I should make it crystal clear how it works for those who don't read the first post.
If a unit gets displaced, it has the option to retreat to any open neighboring territory (That isn't bounced). This includes being able to retreat to an open supply center.
It's an important mechanic to keep track of.

[Fluminator]

Replacing out. This is a huge time commitment, and life just got weird.

Noted. Thanks for playing while you had the time.

If anyone knows anyone who might be interested in the slot, let them know

[Fluminator]

EXTRA EXTRA
The current leader of Berlin while in a campaign in Prussia apparently fell in love with the country and decided to leave the army and take a long vacation.

The people quickly elected a new dictator.

Diamond Sentinel has replaced Lady Lambdadelta.

[Fluminator]

Also, I'm increasing the deadline by a few hours because something's come up and I'm going to be away at that time for a couple hours and unable to update it then.

[Fluminator]

/out. sorry, but this is way too much to keep up with.

Noted.
Thanks for playing!

I'd like to remind people that the display post at the bottom of the forum is invaluable in this type of game if you're short on time.
It allows you to read only specific players (probably the ones more relevant to your position would be best).
Also take note that year 1 is usually the most chaotic.

[Fluminator]

The game will eventually reach a point where fear tactics no longer work due to apathy.

Heck no. The fun is just getting started.

Spies report the four of them all got exiled to Siberia and partying it up over there.

[Fluminator]

Emperor Klick was out sailing with his Navy. He was enjoying the cool breeze when he went on deck. He went to the railing and looked over. A bunch of sharks were circling the boat.
"That's pretty scary!" he thought to himself.
Suddenly a brusque push sent him over the edge yelling "Mutiny!".
He splashed into the water and watched as the sharks came closer. Then the sharks swam away because contrary to popular belief they rarely kill humans and are actually really cool animals.
A whale then ate Klick for three days before spitting him out in Siberia.

The Bad One has replaced Klick as leader of Denmark

[Fluminator]

Everyone built armies!

I was going to make the phases shorter at this time, but I'm going to make it 48 hours for one last year. (Partly so PrivateI can get back from V/LA before this phase is done). If there is support for ending the phase earlier, let me know.
Send me in your movement by:

(expired on 2016-03-18 20:00:00)

[Fluminator]

Preemptive warning that I will be needing a replacement next week when I go V/LA.

I should have someone available in a week to replace if you need it. If it's not long you can just give me orders for the next few turns and you'll be fine.

As a note, I'm running short on replacements at this time, so if anyone knows anyone who'd be interested for Belgium or Serbia let them know. Until then they'll be in civil disorder (a pretty normal thing in this type of game, and another variable to take into account).

[Fluminator]

Orders Resolved!


I set Greece to automatically retreat to Albania since it had no other options.
I need orders by:

A tip that would help some of you is to send your order in right away, and change it when you need to!
Cheers!
Second post updated.
I initially had a mixup in Pablito's/Venice's order moving to Trieste instead of Bohemia. It's fixed now.

[Fluminator]

Oops. In my rush I mixed up Pablito's move. -_-
Next time I'm not rushing it.

[Fluminator]

Everything should be fixed up now!

Thank you Flameaxe for posting that. During deadline I was locked in a room with a bunch of people that we had to escape from. It was fun, but my phone got taken away.

The people of Holland have long stayed neutral and away from war. But the Dutch have been growing antsy with all the death and war going on around them, so they can't help but elect a new dictator to defend them and lead them to a prosperous future.

MattP has taken over Holland!

To clarify on Loki being V/LA, he's allowed to set conditional moves based on what happens. A possible conditional move is to do what certain people on the public board tell him to do.

An EMP from the U.S. shuts down all of Europe's computers a bit longer. The soldiers celebrate the year off playing football with each other. Soon, they'll be back in business.

I miss you guys too. Friday night I'll be back in business. No more long delays after that unless my next computer dies too.
Very sorry for the delay.

[Fluminator]

Stage 2 of the game commences.


I'll need a retreat from Ani, and movements from everyone else for Fall. I'll refrain from giving a hard deadline (although around 24-48 hours) for this phase since people probably didn't know when it would exactly be back in session. I'll be PMing the people who don't notice so it should be back in the groove by 48 hours. Hopefully the break ended up being good for you guys. (I know your soldiers liked it)

[Fluminator]

Spain retreats into Gascony!
Still some time left in the movement phase.

[Fluminator]

Still waiting on a couple people who haven't seemed to notice we're back yet.

[Fluminator]

Yes, a potential situational order is to do what another player publicly says. You can't submit orders on behalf of someone.
Although this mechanic was designed for people who couldn't make the moves.
It's literally less time consuming to just quickly put an order in though. ;_; It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes ever unless you're about to win.
If I don't get anything soon I'll go to the next phase.

[Fluminator]

All right! Orders are in! And I've been learning new mod techniques such as always have a deadline!


I need disbands by Radja and OGML.

[Fluminator]

In other news, Gale Wing Srock is a saint.
Thank you for the help!

[Fluminator]

Popping in to say thanks to Gale once again. My string of finals is almost done.

Just want to remind everyone to not take anything in this game personally.
There's a slogan with a group of people I play with.
"Only be offended if they go the whole game without stabbing you."

[Fluminator]

The official rules is if someone wished to give control over to someone else, the way they can do that is send in conditional orders to have their armies set to whatever someone else publicly says. Someone can't privately give orders for someone else because then you can just have multiple people in an alliance give control to one person and one of the main points of this variant is how well you can coordinate publicly with others.
Radja's orders sent in were

Rumania move to Serbia
Galicia move to Rumania
Ukraine move to sevastopol

The differences this makes is Bellaphent still has 3, but has the army in Budapest instead of Serbia, and Radja's army would retreat to Ukraine, but still has two.
I think the right way to solve it is fixing Radja's moves.
Before we officially rule it, TheBreeze said he based his move around being able to control Radja. What would you have done differently had you known you had no control over Radja?

[Fluminator]

I had a dream about this game last night where Mist won

Maybe you got a vision into the future.

Latest breaking news: The current leader of Holland and Belgium is too nice of a guy, and would rather start a peace movement in Siberia. MattP has stepped down from power.
A mystery surprise replacement for Matt will be taking over, but they can't get on within the current deadline, so deadline will be extended 24 hours.
Cheers.

[Fluminator]

And I'm officially back. You can just send the orders to me again, so Gale doesn't get bogged down with PM's.
Cheery Dog and OGML unfortunately have no where to retreat to so their units are disbanded.

Big end post coming soon.

[Fluminator]

After a very long war, the leaders grew tired. Too long has there been no peace in the land.
Although a few leaders didn't want to end in peace, the soldiers refused to continue marching and they spent the year playing football with opposing members.

The Breeze was sad his refusal to draw didn't result in calamity among the main alliance, but he ran a very successful socialist country for many years in the North called "The Breezey North"

LadyeAeaea tried to step down from power in Edinburg after peace was made, but the British people loved the Dutch so much, they demanded she stayed.

Death Note who had united most of England managed to remain the leader even after his surrender because the Turkish leaders thought the English drank too much and didn't find them useful for their new empire.

Mist who also did not want to draw was very sad she couldn't make a comeback when she was well on her way. She instead took over the world several years later by infiltrating the Illuminati and forming a one world government many years later.

Animorph camping out in brest was surrounded by Mist's armies and about to be taken over when the war ended. He knew he was beaten in military, so he devoted all his remaining resources to a religious victory where he started a new religion worshiping animals which included the practice of morphing into animals. The religion became a big hit, and he surpassed the pope in popularity.

Bellaphent remained leader of central Europe for a long time, and imported elephants to roam it. After many years she exiled herself to Siberia because she missed the people there.

Shadoweh and Nyalite led a new era in Europe and revived the once great Ottoman empire making it great once again. They formed a classless utopia where everyone was equal and where the sun only sets every 24 hours because Europe is so small.

The winners of the game are Nyalite, Shadowehh, Bellaphent, Mist, DeathNote, TheBreeze, Animorpherv, LadyeAeaea

Congratulations! Each one of you deserved to make it to the end.

First off, I need to start with a shoutout to a player.
Gale Wing Srock literally saved the game. After my computer broke and there was a long break in the game, there was a period where I got sick and stressed out from finals and I really just needed a break from internet. But the game really couldn't keep its momentum if it had another break. Gale had previously told me if I ever need help running it to let him know, and I figured, "what the heck, maybe he can do it."
And boy did he. He did it much longer than he probably expected to, and yet he still did it without any complaining.
(I should also say he had some impressive game moments too. The stab of Axxle probably caught a lot of people by suprise, and he still managed to keep his reputation mostly intact from that first stab)

My second shoutouts will be to Nyalite and Shadoweh.
First, up until around 5 minutes before deadline, Drench was going to stab them and take out Shadoweh year 1 which would have made a very different game. But he didn't and they lead a very successful campaign. After year 1, they never came close to being in a bad position. Whenever something hypothetical would come up to prevent them, they dealt with it right away. The takeover of Austria was looking to be difficult, so they turned Bella to their side. The takeover of the Deathnote, Breeze, Ani group was going to be tough and they turn Mist to their side. They new the right people to turn to have control of the board for most of the game.

Final thoughts:
So yeah, this game was fun to mod, despite it being harder than I initially thought it would be with limited access to Jdip and computer stuff, but everyone was patient so thanks for that. I mainly wanted to test this chaos variant on here to see just how well it would work with the survivor and risk crowd. Some of the most fun games I've ever played were this chaos variant and I was hoping for people to get a taste here. I would say it worked quite well, with the early and midgame being very interesting and swingy. The late game battle ended up not being much of a battle when Mist went against Ani cementing the Turkish alliance's dominance, so the endgame may have been a little anticlimactic but everyone was still playing trying to get in on the draw which is fair enough.
Would this game type work again? Well, I think it might actually. Everyone would know what they're signing up for with an example game to see now so there wouldn't be as many civil disorders next game. (Fortunately there weren't too many civil disorders that changed the game. Serbia was probably the only one that had a noticeable effect.) Several people have told me they'd sign up for one if was run again so maybe in the future it would be fun to do one of these again. It would have to be anonymous now though, and I think there needs to be a live endgame once there are a certain amount of players. The live endgame would give a more epic finish I think.
But I think some simpler variants would be a better idea for the next while. And I wouldn't want to run the next one because I'd rather play it.

Time for some player rewards! (Nyalite and Shadoweh are disqualified because they lead the end game alliance and picking them would be too easy.)

Best Tactician: This reward goes to the player who made the best moves. They knew how to maneuver their armies or fleets to do what they wanted accomplished best:

Spoiler: Honourable Mention 1.

Although MarioManiac never got too many units to use, he actually always made the optimal moves for his current situation.

Spoiler: Honourable Mention 2.

The Breeze never made any tactical mistakes either. The units were always doing something that benefited him such as poking Austria, or conquering Scandinavia, or hurting the south. At the end, he set up a nice stalemate line that wasn't easily taken either.

Spoiler: Winner

Yeah, if there was ever any doubt, year 2 takes it away. You may think he got lucky, but he had this exact thing planned from the start, down to getting TBO to move to Denmark to cutting support.


His moves were always max efficiency. If it wasn't for his alliance with Matt going a bit sour he definitely would have been a late game player.

Best Strategist: This involves having a good grip on the big picture. They knew what the best countries to work with were, when to stab, which alliances to join and who to join with, etc.

Spoiler: Honourable Mention 1.

Co-founder of the Medagree alliance, ActionDan was definitely behind all the strategic actions of it at the start. He predicted Aronis's stab as well making a very ballsy move to bounce in Naples. Although his alliance didn't last until the end and he lost the coin flip with Aronis, a sub faction of his alliance went on to be the winning alliance so maybe he gets partial credit?

Spoiler: Honourable Mention 2.

Pablito was actually very strategic in his gameplan. Although his relatively early demise due to some tactical oversight on PrivateI retreating to his home centre didn't let him stick around long, he had quite a lot planned out (down to when to time out his stab of the Medagree and join the central powers) and if he had lived, I think the alliance layout would have been quite different further down the game.

Spoiler: Honourable Mention 3.

Bella gets this for her impressive survival around the Austria and Balkan regions which ended up being a pretty deadly location this game. She started with the Austria alliance when it was still strong enough to be practical (RIP Eagle) and knew when to change sides quick enough (RIP Mario).

Spoiler: Winner

The King of the Brits Death Note. He was always quite aware of what was going on and at the start was basically the leader of the northern alliance. Being the leader didn't stop him from gaining all the land in the north west and having access to all the north. He knew when to time the stabs of Snakes, AcRv, Midget, etc. He correctly predicted how the endgame would shape up and tried to get the correct allies to deal with it in Breeze and Ani. He could have easily been the leader in the main endgame alliance.

Best Negotiator: They knew how to get what they wanted from their press.

Spoiler: Honourable Mention 1.

This might seem like ancient history at this point, and LadyLambda had to leave before the first year, but holy cow she was good at uniting and organizing players when she was in.

Spoiler: Honourable Mention 2.

Zulfy, a co-founder of the Medagree alliance. He was the guy who united and organized it (in a really clever and unique way I might add). He's responsible for uniting basically all of the south. Even the people against his alliance like Aronis didn't have anything against him. I think everyone was secretly sad when you died.

Spoiler: Winner

Animorpherv! His endgame demise from Nyalite convincing Mist to betray him might make this seem like an odd pic, but he had a very strong early and midgame. He played a more lowkey negotiation game not playing as a big alliance leader and gaining enemies. He played a leader of a subfaction in an alliance which still gave him power but not making him an obvious threat. What clinched this pick for me and made him my winner pick at the start was when he negotiated getting Brest somehow from an alliance he wasn't a part of even. If he finished his takeout of Mist, it would have again been a very different endgame.

People's Choice: This reward goes to the people's favourite players.

Spoiler: We'll get right to this one

The Italians Action Dan and Zulfy.
Not much more needs to be said. The alliance they formed and how they ran it, down to it's end was my favourite part of the game.

Gone too soon reward: (Aka Siberian Champs)

Spoiler: Who is it

Basically everyone who died in the first year.
Axxle, Eagle, Cephrir, and DiamondSentinel all died too soon. But someone has to die in the initial bloodbath.

Too nice for the game reward:

Spoiler:

Randomidget, MattP, Radja. They are great people, but not built for warmongering

Darkhorse award

Spoiler:

Mist. She was making a huge comeback in the endgame and she was next to most of the free-to-claim land. If the game didn't get ended (which she wanted to keep going, sorry ) I think JDGA's dream about this game may have come true.
