Confirmed. As a reminder, I have surgery at 0900, est, tomorrow morning. I should be able to check in later that night, if all goes well, but I won't be around as much as normal the next few days during recovery.

jakobagger

Oh, didn't catch that earlier. Good luck, man. Hope it's nothing too serious.

LoserForHireX

Hooray Bob!!!

Also, I'm confirmed.

Hmm. I am playing Italy apparently. According to something I read this is difficult for new players. Oh well.

Soulgrind

Alright, German - looks like fun!

Assuran

Hmm, drew Russia again. OK then.

Statistically, Italy wins the least. On the other hand they're not the ones who get totally eliminated most often (that would be Austria). But it's fun to be in the middle! And now you get to be double underdog, so any achievements will be extra impressive.

It was Spring of 1901, and the sun was shining. Birds were singing, and children of all countries were playing together on the borders. A friendly discussion of national foods developed, and leaders smiled at each other and laughed heartily. Nothing could possibly go wrong...

So apparently I didn't realize that liverpool and london don't touch on the map, this is what I get for trying to make my order quickly at work and not look like I'm wasting time=fail

Bob had a similar issue with Naples and Tunis

Soulgrind

When writing up my orders, I always use a grid map, like this one:

It can help cut down on mis-written orders (they still happen though >< )

Rough night on the meds. Sent out a few messages, hope no one holds it against me.

SeGaTai

That French war machine is a churning!

stever777

Shh!

BobCesca

Just in case it isn't abundantly clear, I have no idea what I'm doing. Arrggghh.

stever777

Did you read the rules on the site?
It's mostly a very simple game, with a couple of occasional twists, like stand-offs & retreats.

this has at least become obvious to me. I have the most horrible Christmas tree knocking on my door!!! There's green everywhere!

jakobagger

I'll just continue to assume Italy has some horribly clever and convoluted plan.

SeGaTai

Hey I'm getting a duplicate key error when I try and send a message and all my previous message histories are no longer there-anyone know whats up?

LoserForHireX

I'm not having the same problem

SeGaTai

Now getting server crash errors just trying to get to the main site-anyone?

LoserForHireX

Yep

stever777

Our world has crashed.

BobCesca

Seems fine now.
