Fall 1905

Re: Fall 1905
Victory Coalition? I didn't read anything about that in the rulebook I found. It's either one country wins, or we all decide on a draw.

Re: Fall 1905
There must be something about coalition victories somewhere. We keep using it to conclude most of our games.
Re: Fall 1905
If you ask me, it's a rather unfair way to end the game. I'm willing to settle for a draw, but to assert that Germany gets to call itself a 'winner' is somewhat of a slap in my face.

EDIT: AH THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
Sorry. I felt like I needed to channel the rage that apparently fills my soul into a different thread.
Good point.
I'll agree to a draw. Based on how things are, even if we continued, it was going to end up a stalemate anyway.

I kinda thought people just stopped playing after 3-4 players were eliminated / permanently AWOL.Octavius wrote:There must be something about coalition victories somewhere. We keep using it to conclude most of our games.

Apparently people continue to the bitter end.

Re: Fall 1905
The games tend to grind to a halt- like Youngstown, Japan and Doucheland were the two massive powers. It could have been fun for us to fight to the end, but also long and slow and boring for everyone else. Since this is a game of Diplomacy, I think its more interesting if they don't all end in draws. Since this ain't part of a league anyway it's not really anything to q_q about.

Re: Fall 1905
We were going to start a league at one point, but it never really gets going.
I suggest the following winners: Turkey, Italy, Russia. Since they are the only ones still left in the game sorta kinda...

Re: Fall 1905
I was going to insert a video of the Black Knight's line "Alright, we'll call it a draw," from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but apparently, nobody on the internet has thought to make a video of just that single line. Internet, I am disappoint.

Re: Fall 1905
Britain is more of a winner than Russia though. If there's a draw, it should be between the Turkey-Italy alliance and the Britain-Russia alliance.

Re: Fall 1905
Problem is that England quit. I'm against quitters being winners.

Re: Fall 1905
That's fair enough, Malliki. But sometimes you can do jack shit and still be a "winner." Like France after World War 2. Got defeated yet got an occupation zone and a security council seat.

Re: Fall 1905
They also kept fighting.
Re: Fall 1905
Vichy didn't. The Free French were technically rebels against their legitimate government.

Re: Fall 1905
Vichy France was replaced... by the people who kept fighting, and those people got that occupation zone.
Re: Fall 1905
Game finished. Unofficial winners are Turkey, Italy and Russia.
