Will he though?
I don't want to have to struggle to get people from another alliance to coordinate with a future attack on german soil. Random's role is obvious enough, but it's not like Def. in Bur will attack in Munich, instead of say, moving to Ruhr.
Bur is also not "northern territory" considering that's it's one space away from Mar as well as Paris,
and lastly, I'm not sure any one of you realizes that Brest is not the biggest concession because despite the amount of fleets in the area, none of them could possibly stop an invasion of Paris in two moves by Ani and Mist

Missed this. There's almost no difference. But one of us should support the other in. I've already sent the A Rom S A Apu - Ven Pm in already. I could change it

I concur. Hence the Germany invasion.
@Anyone, is it possible for Gae to support me into Kiel?
I tried to cover this already but apparently you just don't read my posts anymore. No, Gale cannot support you from where he is. You have no support and no chance of taking German territory this year. Bummer for you. See my earlier post for the reason why your best move is home to Sweden. The MedAgree is definitely in the strongest position to threaten Germany for the foreseeable future, but it really doesn't make sense for any northerners to work with them or help them get there because they'll take the spoils and you'll just have an even stronger MedAgree to deal with when I'm gone.
STD you can still bounce ani's move into Brest this round and take the center in the fall. You're playing for yourself and yourself alone, this is Diplomacy. You don't have to weaken yourself at the behest of your alliance.
Dan's ultimatum that the MedAgree should be allowed to surround Paris because they can try to take Paris anyway if they want to is bad. Upper France can and should defend itself by bouncing a MedAgree army away and having STD build an army instead of a fleet once he captures a territory.

Exactly how can a northern alliance stop A Gas S A Mar - Bur / A Mar - Bur / F Por - MAO and A Bur/Gas - Par / A Gas/Bur S A Bur/Gas - Par (with F MAO doing w.e)?

After some more consideration, make it random between Munich, Bohemia, or Vienna

Just take it by ear and pay attention to posts like ^
I mean it is diplomacy but there's a difference between 7 players and 20 players. You're not wrong that this isn't a team game but having everyone say "yes" to something and then having me do something else isn't necessarily great for me when they surround me. Telling people they need to play for themselves doesn't mean that siding against 10 people and having 2 or 3 armies now is somehow better than having 1 for now and having people willing to support you. Yeah, it's a risk but judging from how many times you tell people that I think people are willing to take that risk.
Also even if I did bounce ani it'll take me a while to get a new territory with my fleet so I'm not sure how that helps me anyway.

Why on earth would he be okay with that? I literally do not understand half the things people say in this game.
Other then supporting Aeg into Greece with Bulgaria I think we're just holding. As much fun as it would be to give Rory heart attacks by convoying to his backdoor.

I'm no longer liking this arrangement very much. This is assuming that Ani is listing to what Dan is actually saying.
I want to go back to the original plan of Convoying Gale into Belgium with STD/Snakes support.
The only thing I would like to change is having Defender move into GAS so that he has multiple options next turn and makes it easier for us to either push Ani out, take Spain/Mars, or protect Paris.
