[RUFFHAUS8]

Okay first off, my apologies for getting December's rankings out in a slightly tardy fashion. Just in time for January to start up too.

Well the DIAS conclusion of Saxony has brought about the need for several promotions. Congratulations to the many, particularly LordStone1 for all his effort with that game. Just a few gigs here and there. NMRs and the like.

Of specific note this month. Boshko is really kicking our collective asses. We may have an officer around here before long. We welcome Komitet to the ranks after a lengthy visit in the brig, but will we see him ain another Dip game anytime soon? Imran eared his first club points, which got him released from the stocks and his flogging, though he's still cooling off on the brig.

There are a few games out there nearing abandonment by their GMS, specifically Civilization, Colonization, Mahem, and Shogun. For the purposes of these rankings all of the above games will be considered abandoned if progress is not made by January 15, 2001. Naturally you should check with your GM for the specifics on the game's status.

If these game's later resume, then the point deductions assessed will be waived at the appropriate time.

[Defiant]

Ruff,
Have you dished out the points yet for Dip 12?

[RUFFHAUS8]

Dip 12 points have been incorporated already. In the January report I think I will also include a summary of all the points and gigs, and do that say quarterly from here on.

[Victor Galis]

I think we should try to salvage Civ dip. Colo dip has actually gone through enough turns to really merit a draw, but Civ dip hasn't. We can't just issue full draw points for two three years of game play.

[Scott F]

Naples, England, and Portugal seem to be the dominant nations in Colonization dip. Maybe Germany too.

[PolarisGL]

Are you still counting off from those games that ended when I got into my accident?

[RUFFHAUS8]

I really think we should try to finish them all, Victor. Unfortunately that is not up to us, it is up to the GMs who have let them deteriorate.

And just FYI, if points are issued at all to players in these games it will be one point for attempted participation, and nothing more. No one is getting 8 points for a draw victory for playing 4-5 turns of a Dip game.

Once these games are declared abandoned, the players might seek an alternate GM and restart it, but no players will receive penalties if the choose not to continue any of these games.

[Iain Lindley]

RUFF, Talon and Coug didn't abandon Alien Dip. AFAIK, they instructed Boshko merely to continue playing the same orders... so they are in theory at least still submitting orders. If Boshko feels differently now, then fair enough, but I think that needs clarifying.

[Victor Galis]

I think Civ Dip should be salvaged, I don't particularly care for Colo dip, and I'm not in the other one, but if that proves impossible, I will accept the death of Civ Dip. We should, however, decide on some guidelines so that something like this does not happen in the future.

[Shadowstrike]

As I said in this thread I'll take over Civ Dip to keep it alive.

However, somebody will have to take over my spot in the game.

[RUFFHAUS8]

Shadowstrike, your offer to take over Civilization Dip is a generous one. But it also may prove to be very demanding. Having a good understanding of standard DIp
s rules and protocol would help. And this variant has special rules will only add to the difficulty. That said if you are willing, I am still in. Defiant's participation as a mapmaker will probable help. Victor's also in this game. And he's a good analyzer of the adjucations, and helps me keep my Sh!t together, so between us, we should be okay.

I say, start a new thread for this. Find out who's still in. Get replacements for those opting out, and start collecting orders...

[Defiant]

Oh honorable Ruffsnoot,
What do you mean probably help, I could adjudicate those moves in my sleep.

[Victor Galis]

I updated the Apolyton Dip site a little, removing Saxony and SD V from the games in progress list, and adding domination Dip. I am sure there are several other games missing from this list, and also some sort of summary needs to be made for SD V and Saxony.

[LordStone1]

I'll do the summary for Saxony. Where's the website, BTW?
