Biblical proportions Fall 1917

Fall 1917 - when the sh*t hit the fan.


Lots of draws had been requested around this time; especially from Russia for everyone excluding himself (he just wanted to get the game over I suppose) and I even suggested just me and England which was instantly rejected.

My draw was suggested because Russia was in decline and in my opinion, Turkey had made no progress all game so I didn't feel like he deserved the win/draw. Well I publicly stated as much and got blasted in the shout box (public message system) by both Russia and Turkey. Turkey's messages were about supposed moves earlier on in the game that I'd made and Russia went so far as to call me names! I'd heard Russia getting into arguments with other players before but this was the first time he aimed his bad mouthing at me!

As an aside, I did mention that he'd missed a turn and so was another reason not to include him in the draw. In retrospect, that wasn't fair of me - everyone has a real life outside the game and circumstances sometimes prevent moves being submitted.

Nevertheless, I still stand by my opinion - that Turkey hadn't done anything all game and so shouldn't be included in the draw.

Well anyway, Russia "threw his dummy out of the pram" as we Brits say and surrendered. I sent him a private message explaining my actions and hoping for a response but so far, I've not received one.

His moves were still processed in such a way that he gave a couple of supply centers to Turkey and then we got a new player to take his place.
