Sorry bud. I think I'm gonna go through with it. I've started it and I can't quit now.

Thanks! I kind of dread getting instant chats because its harder to keep up the character. Here's another one with Rowain with some interesting information.
Quote:Rowain: Hi Master of the hip-hop
shouldn't you be asleep already? Lewwyn: yo, 10:45
time for sleep when we dead Rowain: oh only 6 hours ahead i thought 8 Lewwyn: GMT +8 homie, yer +2 Rowain: What have you done to Amelia? Lewwyn: Wazzat?
I break her head or some shiz? Rowain: Everytime she mentions your name she adds unfriendly adjectives Lewwyn: She be hatin on my style yo Rowain: you now she called you Hippie in one post. Lewwyn: Hippie? Hippo? Hipster? dunno man
Hope she ain't out for blood, be unblanicin' da game Rowain: well she can't hurt you in the first year Lewwyn: yeah
I'm chill Rowain: As usual Lewwyn: Won't stop, hits keep comin. I be commited yo.
E'erbody needs a punk ta hate, guess I be classin the role Rowain: I got to go now (heading home) Lewwyn: cool bra Rowain: Yeah might be thaqts the cause
See you tomorrow Lewwyn: peace
Well, Amelia when you read all of this, I hope you forgive me. I'm really not the character I'm playing. Come to think this is our first real meeting, first time we've spoken directly to one another. Don't carry this pats the game please.

England:
Quote:Lewwyn,
So I'm hearing rumors of a Russian/Turkish alliance. Any idea what's up with that? Obviously that's not something you'd like to have happen given that you'd be in trouble if that happened... What's the word on the street in Austria?
scooter
Haven't replied to it yet, that's on the to do list.
From Russia:
Quote:Hi Lewwyn,
Sounds like you got the hedgehog down perfectly, and should be guaranteed a build. On the downside it looks like Turkey is going to potentially get 2 builds, which I guess isn't the end of the world.
In other news, sounds like EGI tried to all go after France but it looks like he must have figured something was up as he supported himself to Burgundy. That is probably worth looking at - it's probably not in either of our best interests for France to go down very quickly...
So are we bouncing in Galicia again or do you have better things to do with your army?
dan.

Reply to Russia:
Quote:Rego-bear,
Yeah bro. I be down to bounce in Gal again. You coming to Rum? Satin Sultana comin' guns blazin.
I gotta hold steady, get my build on.
How you comin' at 'er? How you gonna lock the Sultana down?
Lew
Next up a reply to England. A chat from Rowain and a bit of discussion between me an my Adviser Hop (Luddite).
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
Duuno. Punk in the hood be gansta, yo. Who knows who be frontin'. The Streets be hearin that the turkeys be running wild, hatin' on a playa. Russian Bear be hard as ice yo.
If they both be hatin', I may have to start shackin' up with you. Yall be hospitable brits right? You take in a broke ass punk. I wash yo' car bro!

“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
Here's a conversation I had about the next moves with Luddite:
Lewwyn: hey when do I build a unit?
XD
Luddite: haha
Lewwyn: how do I build a unit?
Luddite: after the fall turn
Lewwyn: where even
hmmm
you saw the map moves?
Luddite: yeah
Lewwyn: If I move my Fleet south to albania can I get a build in Bud and Tri?
Luddite: you'd need to capture 2 supply centers
to capture it, you need to occupy it during the fall turn
Lewwyn: I see
Luddite: so right now, you can only get 1 build
unless you capture venice lol
Lewwyn: so if Amelia goes for greeceI could block her from capturing bul
Luddite: yeah you could
she would hate that lol
Lewwyn: she'd only get greece then
and only 1 guarenteed build
whats better
if I give her greece or bul
hmmm
actually if I attack gre and she attacks ser she could capture both bul and ser
so thats bad
I should attack bul so that if she attacks greece her second army can't occupy bul
probably do F(Tri)-Alb, A(Ser)-Bul and A(Vie)-Gal next turn
Luddite: well
yeah, that's good and it'll hurt her a lot
are you willing to openly attack her this quickly though?
Lewwyn: what're my other options
I mean should I allow her to get 2 builds?
Luddite: you could, if you think she'd attack russia
Lewwyn: no
she's coming after me
everything everyone has said
Luddite: ok
well i have to say, russia's moves are extremely worrying
Lewwyn: I know
Luddite: if russia and turkey both gang up on you, then you're basically dead
hardly even matters what moves you make at that point
Lewwyn: well yeah
I know
thats why I said last night
I'm doomed aren't I
but we knew from the start that I'd be dead if they decided to come after me
Luddite: haha
but you never know
maybe you can get help from germany
and rowain did what he said, right?
Lewwyn: yeah
and he's talking to me now
do you think I should go galacia again
I thikn if I don't Russia will come
Luddite: hmm
well, you'll get a build
Lewwyn: though I guess he could support teh attack
Luddite: i guess either way you'll have an army in vienna and budapest
but probably better to move there just to keep him out of galicia
and if he doesn't move there you can support yourself into rumania
Lewwyn: well if he supports the move to galcia I'll know for certain what his intentions are
Luddite: yeah
oh hey
england is looking really aggressive towards france?
Lewwyn: yes
super agg
france be triple teamed
don't think they'll survive much either
Luddite: the only time i actually won a game of diplomacy, that was how i did it
i was england, and blitzed france with the help of italy
germany stayed neutral
Lewwyn: England to france yeah?
well Germany looks to pot stirring this time
3:45 PM Luddite: if france goes down that's gonna be bad for you
england would attack germany, and they'd be unable to help you
Lewwyn: hmmm
Lewwyn: Just thought of something
if I attack Bul
and she attacks greece
but instead of moving her 2nd army into bul she moves it back
she could seriously trap me
use the one build for a fleet in Con
I wouldn't have Ser captured
push me off Bul with no support
back line open to attack
do I risk attacking Bul?
would she think of that?
it would mean she only gets one build
Luddite: ummmm
Lewwyn: but pretty much annihilates my position
Luddite: if that happened, what's to stop you from just moving back to serbia?
Lewwyn: Russia maybe?
eh I should do it anyway
if Russia is against me I'm doomed
Luddite: i mean... i guess it's possible if turkey and russia coordinated perfectly
but yeah, if that happens your just doomed
Lewwyn: after all 1 of 5 austria's die before 1904
Luddite: wait no, it's not even theoretically possible
Lewwyn: Oh?
Luddite: because you'll get an army in budapest, which could support the bulgarian army back to serbia
Lewwyn: unless russia attacks the supporting army from behind
Luddite: but you're also moving to galicia to block that
Lewwyn: true
do you agree with F(Tri)-ALb
Luddite: yes
definitely
Lewwyn: so my moves are set
f(tri)-alb, a(vie)-gal, A(ser)-bul
Luddite: yep
No color, this time, too long and its a pain. Short version, I think I'm going after Amelia to stop her from getting 2 builds by attacking Bul from Ser and preventing her second army from entering the Balkans.
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
N-Core hit me up for a chat. I razzed a bit. Then he left in a hurry. I think that N-Core's first response might have been one of the best responses I've gotten so far.
Quote:Nakor: Hey Lewwyn, isn't diplomacy a nice game! Nothing ever goes as you expect... Lewwyn: Yo Bro!
It be wacked!
you looked like Tupac when they came ta find 'im Nakor: not sure I get you, but thanks! Lewwyn: All good in the hood dog
whacha got up yer sleeve? Nakor: nothing special, just keeping contact Lewwyn: yeah, me and you brotha, we be endangered like
like friggin' condors
you know them? They be extinct and I feel it yo, that brush O death.
Also Here's a message from Russia:
Quote:Well it's hard to lock down the Sultana when it seems like all of my units are bouncing every turn.... At some point if we're going to work together we're going to need to start moving them in other directions. Are you planning on bouncing me in Rumania?
Now I was planning on letting him go into Rum anyway. But if I play it off like I'm conceding something to him all the better. I haven't formulated a response yet.
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
as far as I can tell Russia plans to ally with Turkey against you. I told him I'd probably bounce him out of Sweden because I didn't like the idea of him allying with Turkey to kill you quickly and he didn't argue with it. Anyway I recommend you don't let him into galicia or anything like that.
And,
MSG from Turkey,
Quote:Guapo,
can you do me a favor, and support my army in Bul to Rum (using serbia, since i assume you want it to stay there anyway)? I'm also arranging for Germany to stop Russia's entrance into Swe, so that he gets no builds (He'll likely support a fleet movement to Rum, so with our combined support, we should stop russia from getting any builds), and let a A-T alliance begin!
Amelia
Well, it's official. Russia and Turkey are working together. Why? Because ethe only person that has said A-T or R-T or A-R alliance has been rego. Evidently she's been talking with him and picked up his lingo.
So how do I play this. Well, I tell Rego not to move into Galacia as I'm moving from Vie to Tri and my fleet from Tri to Alb. Tell him I'm planning to assault Greece in the spring which I am. I'll also tell him I'll support him into Rum against Turkey.
But in fact I will do the same moves I was doing. Vie-Gal, Tri- Alb, Ser-Bul. Basically I can prove I'm against Turkey by attacking and test Russia's loyalty in Galacia. If he doesn't move into Galacia I say, my bad I couldn't trust you before, but I am against Turkey so we can still be friends. I doubt that'll happen though.
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
Quote:Yo, Sultana be booty callin' fo support in Rum against you. And bro, you be right. WE need to pass the ball wit some teamwork. I be going Tri- Alb and Vie-Tri to come round da side of that Turkey. I got ya back in Rum ova the Sultana. Bring yo army Jus don't come at me in Gal, ya hear?
Lew
To Germany:
Quote:Yeah, I figured. Turkey is claiming that she's going to move to Rum with my support to stop Russia from getting any builds. I was planning on a Gal bounce anyway. I don't know if you can but I might need some help soon if Russia is coming.
I'll figure out what to write to Amelia next.
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
Guess the rumour you heard was a bit off.
Good to see you moving towards Italy, though that leaves you with a strong Turkey.
Any plans on how to proceed and how I can help you?
Cheers,
Nakor
And the reply:
Quote:N-Core
Well, I be hearing it from scoota-boy anyhows. He be mad gansta...
Yaw, Turkey be all up in biz, dunno how we shake out. We be makin' nice fo now.
Seems, you be upta yo neck already bro. If you bamboozle fools tha be cool. Just know, simping ain't easy.
Gettin' Busy,
Lewwyn
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
Had some more conversations with Russia and Germany. Germany says I shouldn't trust Russia and Russia wants me to work with trustingly. Pretty much the only thing that's certain is Germany has my back and the next move set will tell us where the true colors lie. Of course, my moves are going to piss off both Russia and Turkey.
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
I'm really not the character I'm playing. Come to think this is our first real meeting, first time we've spoken directly to one another. Don't carry this pats the game please.
