Well played SA. You def had some luck at the start getting the NAP to drop as early as it did. But well played none the less

I hear alcohol thins the blood... makes it much easier to apply

Well... how else am I going to apply the varnish if i don't have a sponge..... clearly I have mistaken you as an anti sponge supporter... how... unfortunate......

Congrats to all that played. Hopefully I will be there in game 85

lol

Trans Jordan warming ze engines up

My friend got bumped out of this game, so i have pulled out. See you all in 85 hopefully. I was Trans Jordan

this will be my 2nd game. Be gentle

Must be the holiday's. But; S.Russia and N.Russia are still at eachothers throat's with Canada & Iceland bombing everything that moves in Finland. Chechoslovakia and Austria are defending their homeland against me and Iceland. (Fighting a loosing war, how pointless! ) PeePee is sitting this one out in his Portugese vineyard. That's my report. How are you doing? don I am better.... sorta. I feel I have the time to have a 2nd attempt at Victory. 77 Being my first game, I did learn a lot thanks to my allies and obviously, I still have a lot to learn. Thank you to those that responded All the best

a month and a half and no posts :'( y? whats happening? who is killing who now? FILL ME IN PLEASE

y did RL have to get in the way :'(

I do not agree with the above. I joined this game with a friend (who had to pull out before it started). This is my first game of Victory (although Norbert would disagree), and I joined effectively alone. My partners are both veterans (never played together previously), and they both joined stag as well. So in essence, newbies don't get quashed, however, it is dependant on player's mind sets more than anything else. Both of my mentors were very quick to start reminiscing about their first games, almost like they wished they were the nub, they also pointed out that they had been taken under the wing by a previous vet player. So its not that this doesn't happen, but perhaps it doesn't happen enough.. As for the five man alliance, we have only seen two in this game. The Bulgarian/Austrian/Czech/Greek/Poland (who are mostly RL friends) and the Scandinavians with Germany and France which was formed out of necessity to survive. As it turns out, both of these Alliances are cracking, so clearly, five man alliances are not the be all and end all. In regards to the veterans grouping together, the US/Canada team are playing the hardest countries so I think that is justified. However, there is a line when it comes to double dealing and again it comes down to the players mentality. There are ppl in EVERY game that will play to win at all costs, weather it is backstabbing a TA, or finding an exploit in an FPS game. My opinion is that you should never break a TA unless the player has dropped due to RL commitments and that you should keep your word in agreements. As I said though, this is a mentality issue. No one would play if fees were up front or at least, a significant number of ppl wouldn't. Perhaps ppl would be more willing to fight to the end if there was an option to "surrender". When the surrender command is issued (needs to be done once per turn for 2 - 3 turns to avoid accidentally typing it in) that country has 10 free turns to do as they please (basically to go out with a bang). Your idea about pairing is good but tbh, it shouldn't be needed. Everyone should be willing to help the n00bs, you were all one at one stage, even Russ.

France Ireland and Germany would've been a nasty bloc to go against if they had been together. congrats none the less, and perhaps when the game is over, or my alliance is trounced I will explain my logic.

? please explain

can u 2 get a room please
