Eldritch (884) Autumn 1911 results and news

Hip hurray! Germany is back in it's 1900 size of three centers. Maybe this is the beginning of a magnificent new empire? Well, meanwhile, Turkey loses three centers to Austria-Hungary, so gaining one in Naples doesn't really balance it out. England also manages to gain one center this turn despite losing Kiel.

English solo victory has been proposed. May I have your votes before the coming deadline, please?

Next deadline, for Winter 1911, is 12.8.2002, 12:00 GMT.

Austria-Hungary

to England: Seems you want to trade some dots? Well, I'll try to help you to Naples when I get the chance... if you're happy with Rome, Naples, Sevastopol, Warsaw and Moscow then I should have a pretty good lock on the second place, actually. If you've dislodged me in Sevastopol then all the better - it'd be right on it's way into Turkey unless he moved to Armenia.

As for telling everyone, there's no need to tell me any more than what concerns me directly - where you are moving in the south where it has effects on my planning.

to Turkey: English solo? No kidding. Can you imagine which power's actions and which power's reactions brought that one about? Funny if you didn't realize that this was all bound to happen if you stabbed me. But then again, you don't care about draws so you'd rather drag your allies into the sod than letting them achieve their goals when your own are out of reach. But then again, that's the big difference of what is fun for a soloist and what is fun for an alliance player, isn't it. You have great fun making other people fall short of their goals, lying to them, belittling them and so on, while an alliance player likes to get to know players around the table, play the balance of power game to benefit an alliance, and look for mutual goals a bit further than one season. Am I right?

Sure, you can argue that a solo is the goal of the game and one should strive to achieve one. Fair enough, but a solo means nothing to me. Just as much as the perfect game ends in a draw because nobody is stupid enough to give up a solo given a strong enough level, which you wouldn't even take, you'd rather ruin it for everyone but one by directly or indirectly throwing a solo to one power.

Germany;
Welp, here we go with the problems of commo in an open press gunboat. Both of us asked to move to Burgundy with support from the other. More then a 50 % chance of neither of us making the right moves to make it happen so I did something else.
Lets try coordinating on the longterm instead.
I've decided Germany will go to Burgundy, but will try to get the army into Belgium first. That should work just fine if Germany will move their army into Ruh after I vacate. With only two armies in Europe and no chance at a build any time soon, even if France defends against this it will be two to our three armies pushing into Burgundy.
One last thing: just let me know which army will be making the fatefull move into Burgundy...Ruh or Munich?
See you in France.

Austria;
I thought about your suggestion and decided to go with Rom.

Germany

to England:
I hope this went as planned. Once I looked more closely at the map I realized Turkey could just walk into Munich if I went to BUR, so I supported you in. If it didn't work out then I will support you in again in the spring. If there are no hostile units bordering Munich I'd like you to support me in instead.
