Hyborian Diplomacy: Spring 07 Results From: Martin-Charles@cs.yale.edu (Charles Martin) Date: Fri, 30 Jun 1989 18:29:25 +0000 Can anyone hear me over the noise from that Tavern?? These are the results from the Hyborian Diplomacy game I've been running. I sent these to the players last week, but all my mail to Zingara has bounced back to me...Warlord, are you still on the net? Note that below I state that today is the deadline for moves. At this time I have received moves from Turan, Picts, Black Kingdoms, and Koth. I have nothing from Zingara (who missed last turn), Zamora (who had to drop the game), or Nemedia. I have heard from Venyda, but do not have moves for him yet. If anyone would like to take over the Zingaran or Zamoran positions, please contact me ASAP. Zingara has a strong position but was hurt by missing last turn's move (players may submit "treachery" orders for other countries for this purpose). Zamora is weakest on the board but is caught between two armies in supply-center rich territory and so has survived quite well (two seasons now without a leader). Both positions can have a dramatic influence on the game. Meanwhile, Nemedia and Vendya should send their moves in. I will delay the move resolution until Wednesday (after the holiday). ZINGARA FALLS VICTIM TO TREACHERY! ARMIES RUN AWAY! Rumors of the demise of the Warlord abound! Can it be true? Can anyone claim to have struck him down in his prime? This season sees a massive retreat of the Zingaran armies on the Pictish front...will a strong leader return in time to rally his troops? ZAMORA FALLS VICTIM TO TREACHERY! ARMIES DO EVEN BETTER! Followers of the Spider-God staggered into Corinthia, having debauched Upper Koth last Fall. Meanwhile, an excess of modesty ("you first" "no, you first") has led to a standoff over the Magic Lands. The people cry out for a leader! Will one arise? For better or worse than the spies? KHITAIN SORCERERS CAST SPELL OF TIME WARP! Since I am so unreliable of late, I thought I would just set the final deadline for a week from now. People now in the game tend to get their moves in right away or not at all, so I don't think this will be too much of a hardship (if people kick, I'll go back to two weeks). TURAN AND VENDYA STRUGGLE FOR DEATH GRIP! In the only front seeing large troop movements, Vendya successfully pushed into Stygia on the heels of the demise of the snake-cult last year. The much-vaunted Turanian cavalry proved generally ineffective in stopping the Vendyan incursions, and some commanders on both sides seem to have had trouble reading the map (not surprising...). Note that Southern Desert borders Zaporaska, and that along the eastern edge of the map, First Peak, Lost Waste, and Zaporaska are successive territories from south to north. NEW AGE OF NAVAL POWER? With three nations putting to sea, rumors of a fabulous treasure left by the Stygians on the Isle of the Black Ones would seem to be corroborated. In any case, merchants lament the increased acts of piracy which can only follow these naval exercises. Towns burn along the coast from Pictland to Kush. --- Spring 07 Results --- A Guide to the Results: Moves are followed by annotations. If there are no annotations, the move succeeded as stated.
