Well, for me it was just a process of elimination. Dgan, you said you were in 3 games... which ones are you in?

powys, two owls games, and I also actually jumped into godofwar - they were looking for a player to run a power which was about to die - so I won't be lasting long in that one.

I've never heard of a godofwar game. Does Thorin run that one too? One of the things which bothers me the most about multiple games is running the same country in two games... that's where it gets really weird for me.

a "Gabriel Aston" is master. I thought it looked pretty cool because it is No_Quarter. Talk about weird! But I figured it would be fun to experiment, especially since the country was dying anyway.
The first thing I realized when playing multiple games, is I had to learn how to create rules in Outlook. Now that I send each press to its own game folder, it is not nearly as confusing. But yeah, the first thing I did when I started godofwar was send press to myself by accident because I forgot which country I was. LOL!

Can you post a link to the game so I can check it out? I know you're in Owls_78... what other one did you join? (just curious)

www.floc.net/dpjudge/?game=godofwarI am Fr...uh...what is LEFT of France. My other Owls game is still awaiting players, if that answers your question. I don't want to break any rules, just in case we should ever happen to be in the same game...

OK, guys. Wish me luck. This is a Crystal Ball game...I am England. If you don't know what Crystal Ball is, I'll save you the headache of looking it up. Essentially, you enter your orders two turns in advance. In other words, you have to issue orders for next turn before you've seen the results of this turn. That is the simple explanation but, as you can imagine, there are all sorts of complications that arise. Such as...I don't even know where my units are going to be two turns from now! This is my first time venturing into a Crystal Ball game, but I think it will be fun. www.floc.net/dpjudge/?game=strawxball02

Wow! That sounds really cool. I haven't tried one of those yet. I am in a no press game... getting spanked by Germany too... I might have to try that sometime.

I'll let you know how it goes. I just entered my moves for the next spring, and I don't even know how many builds I'm going to have? I'm already stressing over it....
In one of my Owls games, Italy is trying to throw the game to me so I can get a solo. I've been playing for a 2-way the whole time, so I don't feel right getting a cheap solo. I think Italy will be really upset when he finds himself still with 1 SC after this year. LOL! Serves him right, trying to throw a game...

LOL! I'd actually take him out right away.... I don't feel people who try to throw games should stick around collecting survival points any longer than neccessary. Personal opinion though... That'd be awesome if you beat me to a solo.
