Diplomacy Zine - EP #188 Chapter Three From: mad-2@kub.nl (C. Wekx) Date: Thu, 27 Sep 1990 11:04:39 +0000 Issue #188 of ELECTRONIC PROTOCOL: ------------- Chapter Three ------------- This chapter contains results from DAWN PATROL (#23), BERLIN (#32), EL ALAMEIN (#41) and SQUALANE (#45). Winter '10 of the game DAWN PATROL (BNC number 1989II) (GM is sinhaa@mcmaster.ca/Anand Sinha) Date: Mon, 17 Sep 90 14:43 EST As I was told a number of times, I forgot that Italy lost a unit. I had mail from Constantijn telling me that Friday, which I did not read until now. It was postmarked early enough for me to include it in the Winter 1910 adjustments. Austria builds A Vie, F Tri Italy builds F Nap ====================<Final Unit Positions>============================= Army Fleet Austria : SIL, UKR, BOH, WAR, SEV, MOS, GOL, CON, NAF, TRI GAL, TYO, VIE England : BER, PIC ECH, BAL, PRU, NAO, POR, SPA(sc), MAO France : MUN, BUR, RUH, KIE, GAS Germany : Italy : MAR, PIE WME, TYS, NAP Russia : STP, NOR Turkey : ======================================================================= Anand PS. Deadline is still Thursday.... Date: Mon, 24 Sep 90 11:02 EST I am still waiting for Austrian orders. Meanwhile, I can gloat because the Toronto Blue Jays are still a game up on Boston, and Roger Clemens may not be back :) :):):) (sorry Valentine :). Doug, please get those orders in ASAP. Anand Fall '07 of the game BERLIN (BNC number 1989KQ) (GM is cwekx@htikub5.bitnet/Constantijn Wekx) Date: Tue, 18 Sep 90 10:04 N Yo folks! Fall '07! France is eliminated, but since he's never forgotten to submit orders before deadline, I have decided to cut one Italian support (GM decision). ;-) Thanks for playing, Donald. Despite the difficult position at the moment of the take over of France, you have tried to improve your position all the time. Pity, you didn't make it after all! Players!

Austria: 0 England: 0 France: eliminated! Germany: 0 if GoB retreats to Fin, +1 if GoB is disbanded! Italy: +1 Russia: 0 Turkey: +1 The press! London: The English Government deeply regrets the tactics required to remove Mr. Quayle as president of Western Iberia. "Unfortunately", said Prime Minister Sinha, "the WUSS (Western Union of Spanish States Ship)Quayle, stationed in Lisbon, caused negotiation difficulties with our Italian neighbours. They threatened to cut off our supply of Lasagne and Olive Oil. As we could not allow this to happen, we decided to support the offensive Italian, err Italian offensive into Western Iberia. Mr Quayle will be offered full diplomatic immunity in London. As well, we will not force him to enlist in the Navy." Berlin: The Kaiser, denounced the Austrian Empire as a "Marauding Elephant! A PINK Elephant!! The only way to stop it is by shooting it!" The Vatican Enquirer for Fall '07. (When Diplomacy fails, a club becomes a handy item. -Hussein.) MISSIONARIES TRY TO VISIT PORTUGAL, ARE RUDELY WELCOMED (Spain) The Holy Catholic Missionaries of Spain have made plans to visit President Quayle of Portugal during the Fall. This comes irregardless of several things that the President said, including a reference about our Pope, some rubber tubing, and a yak. The people of Portugal look forward to the event, saying that it's about time some good catholic boys showed up around their parts. Apparently the former French fleet in Portugal has not been living up to good Christian standards. AND NOW, A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR: Italy -> Germany: Don't worry, help is on the way... Italy -> Austria: Don't worry, help is on the way... Italy -> God: Who is going to help me while I'm away? >From our illustrious Editor: Pope Not-So-Pious I of Berlin, #32. God -> Italy: Don't worry, help is on the way... ;-) The bets! England said France would go first (but he's excluded, since he was the one who made this happen). ;-) France said Russia would go first (not correct). The Gm said both would go at the same time (not correct). Joris said Anand would go first (a bit opportunistic, but not correct). ;-) So the can of Dutch beer (Grolsch, yes, those with the beautiful bottles) is still available! Open some new bets! Who's going to stab/eliminate who? ;-) The prediction! Joris and I have tried to predict the outcome of a game with an ordered response model (see Chapter Seven for an extended explanation) with data from the first three years of a game. For game Berlin we predicted a three way draw between Austria, France and Russia with Germany as survivor and the rest eliminated before game end. Compare it to the current state of the game and....surprised? The deadline! Autumn '07 (retreats/disbands): Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7:00 pm MET. Winter '07 (builds): Next Thursday at 7:00 pm MET.

Austria: 0 England: 0 France: eliminated! Germany: +1 Italy: +1 Russia: 0 Turkey: +1 The press! Lisabon (AP) - Moving with swift and forsightful action, the loyal followers of President Quayle have pulled off a stunning coup! While the majority of the brave troops of the 1st (and last) French Fleet continued to play dumb, a crack force of select naval personnel (Quayle's family and friends) boarded the new French submersible (we said it was forsightful, didn't we??) Le Gouse Roaste and escaped past the unsuspecting (and traitorous, vile, evil, treacherous......etc. ) English Navy. Fleeing the Cylon tyranny (oops, wrong plotline!)...Fleeing the English treachery, Qualye and friends proceeded on accross the Atlantic until they reached South America, where President Quayle proclamed himself the President of New Iberia!! All Europeans were quickly rounded up and are now an integral part of the commerce of the capital city of New Iberia .... it needed a new breakwater, after all. So long and thanks for all the fish! Donald Daybell (aka Dan Quayle, President of New Iberia) The bets! Received one private bet. The deadline! Winter '07 (builds): Tonight at 7:00 pm MET.
