Slarti made a mistake. He should have used his two fleets to simultaneously attack Norway.

Frances moves are too conservative. Too cautious. Lost a little momentum.

There's an overall lack of coordinated assaults between players.

Now that you say it I realize the obvious, that Finland borders to Norway... shame on me. What would you think now about geography knowledge?

Is WEB now playing Turkey? Or is Billy back? This is confusing

I don't think it's very confusing. I mentioned on Monday that I had checked on Billy's profile page and it seemed that he had not logged in. To my knowledge, he still hasn't logged in since he left for vacation. I would like him to get back in this. Trust me, it's hard for me to make deliberately sub-optimal moves on purpose (which I've been doing thus far ). lol

I may have to actually start playing seriously.

There's a good chance Billy will be back by Monday. I will be filling in until then, which I have already explained in a very clear and public way. So I don't see how anybody could be confused by that unless they didn't bother to read the posts during the past few days.

I wonder if I should continue playing with mediocre moves. Hmmm, what would a noob do?

[W.E.B. Du Bois]

Yeah, I think I will play as Billy would play, like a noob.

Actually, what you said was that there was "No word from Billy yet. Looks like the Sultan's vezir (me) will be filling in for the Sultan again." That is a statement that puts forward a possibility, not a certainty. Since it does not necessarily require billy posting here to submit any orders or get into the game again, the possibility that billy had submitted a move was there. I just noticed that non-mods can also see when someone last logged in, so my question could have been avoided though, you'r right.

You see, strategy is subject to alteration depending on who the person is making the moves - you should take that as a compliment

Drake- what are you using for a program?

If Billy had not logged in for several days, then that would also indicate that he probably did not submit a move either. The fact that Drake did not come out and say billy already submitted his moves, WEB, you don't have to do it for him would lead one to believe that he did not submit any moves. Everything was explained.

Well, I'm going to deliberately play as a noob. I already made a move that I didn't like last turn. I know what I would do as Turkey, but I'm going to try to play in a more short-sighted, less strategic, less bold way instead.

[africanhope]

Oh no WEB. try your best, make the best moves you can make.

Anyhow, I oo must say it is a bit confusing. Some of us may have made delas with Billy, which now no longer is in effect since you would not know about it. But I'll just see it as an coup in Turkey, which may over turned.
