Retreats Fall 1913

ITALY retreats Vienna -> Galicia.

TURKEY retreats Warsaw -> Moscow, and (by default) Naples -> Apulia.

Winter adjustments are due midnight tonight.

Results Fall 1913 - CORRECTION BELOW

CORRECTION:  Italy also controls Munich, thus does not need to destroy a unit this year.   My apologies.

Sorry for the delay, everyone. I was without my laptop the whole weekend and had limited internet access. Retreats will be due midnight Wednesday. Winter adjustments will be due midnight Thursday. Spring 1914 moves will be due midnight Saturday. Of course, sending information earlier would greatly speed things up, which I'm sure would be much appreciated by everyone at this late stage of the game.

The Fate of the World

Alas, poor Turkish King, I believe lady luck, after loving you expectantly for several years, shall leave you suddenly. You, a self described Sideshow Bob, shall find Italy become a rake at your every turn. Whether it be in the Mediterranean, where your horrendous bottleneck of fleets chokes itself, or across the Austrian killing fields, where you foolishly should have taken Trieste when it was before you, you shall see Italy stand stalwartly in your way.

So, Turkey, my dear frenemy, I must throw the support of my pasta and woman loving army behind those who will help me drive the cheese-eating surrender monkeys into the ocean and ensure that a poor fool who caught the luckiest break in the game does not ride the luck to victory.

R.I.P.

Awards!!!

Since I am making an increasingly rapid exit...I will leave you with my end game awards

Most Gullible - This award goes to the person duped the most times...at some point, it had to be a willful decision to trust folks...oh well, lesson learned. -> Damian congradulations

Least Trustworthy - This is given to the person who has betrayed more people, more often, and more maliciously than anyone else -> I give this award, sadly, to myself

Most Trustworthy - awarded to the person who has betrayed people the least, been the most dependable ally over long periods of time (typically this is not someone who is WINNING the game...fitting really) -> Larry, you could have quit, you could have lied, but in the face of overwhelming odds you not only stayed alive, but conducted yourself quite honorably..much more honorably than everyone else. Larry, thanks for sticking with it, have fun in college.

Greatest comeback fostered through the complacency, malaise and stupidity of others. (self-explanatory) -> Owen...nice job jackass.

Most consistent and skilled schemer - for playing me and everyone else since the beginning of the game nearly every turn, feeding my moves to everyone else...as well as all of everybody elses moves to himself. Bill.

Most suicidal - Tony...nuf said

Survivor award - if only you weren't Italy..you would have one, Craig
