San Andreas Dip - Spring '02 Earthquake!

[LordStone1]

OK! The ascendancy of the Ruhr has reached its conclusion for now, as we see Burgundy and Munich continue their weight gain, as well as Holland. Meanwhile, in the southeast, a great river is forming, writhing and wavering its way about the Balkans. Also, we're witnessing a great uplifting in the Alps that threatens to separate France from Italy forever.

Notes: Kiel now has its canal back. Napoleon failed to turn in his order. I've noticed that he hasn't made a post on Apolyton since January 19th. We'll see how he does in the fall turn. In the meantime, I'm opening a call for backup players. First come, first serve.

Austria (Midshipman)
Serbia and Black Sea separate, Bulgaria and Rumania connect (invalid)

England (Ruffhaus)
Denmark and Ruhr separate, Helgoland Bight and Kiel connect

France (Napoleon) – NMR!

Germany (SnowFire)
Burgundy and Ruhr separate, Munich and Holland connect

Italy (Defiant)
Marseilles and Piedmont separate, Gulf of Lyon and Switzerland connect

Russia (Victor Galis)
Serbia and Rumania separate, Black Sea and Budapest connect

Turkey (WarVoid)
Serbia and Rumania separate, Black Sea and Budapest connect

Actually, Napoleon posted in this thread he had no computer access, and that was on the 31st.

Also, I think Britain still has a fleet in Norway.

Count me in if you need somebody. I've been following the game anyway, I like the look of it...

[LordStone1]

Ok. Map updated. I'll wait for Napoleon to get his computer back (missing one seismic phase is not a big problem). If he can't get in contact by the next deadline, Iain will be our new France.

(Yes, that means Iain is our backup player, just like WarVoid was when Polaris stepped out of Anatolia.)

Oh, by the way, I finally got to do something I've been wanting to do for a long time: redraw the lines inside Switzerland! How do you like the new scheme? I tried some variations, such as making it a checkerboard pattern (but thought that was too distracting) and so on.

This game looks veeeery interesting... what are the rules?

[LordStone1]

Basically, you have your regular game, but after each spring and winter season, a special seismic season is inserted. There, each power makes one seismic order. They're outlined in the website: http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/res...es/seismic.htm
