Winter 1845 Builds
With a British fleet in Gulf of Mexico, I'm sure pulsar is taking the necessary steps to defensively secure herself against an incursion... wait, she waived? Okay then! In other news, Britain remembers what an army is!
It is now Spring 1846. Powers should submit orders to me by Saturday, August 24th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
A common adage for playing England on the classic map is "fleets keep you in the game, but armies win you the game." The army builds here are a statement if I've ever seen one.

Corrections:
- On the post-movement map in the Fall update, Brazil's A Mato Grosso was incorrectly shown as still being in Sao Paulo. This has been corrected for the Winter map and the unit was disbanded anyway, so quit bugging me about it.
Spring 1846 Moves, Part 1
British attacks continue! The remaining Spanish centers are under siege, a war with Brazil has been kicked off, and now we have Mexico possibly under threat as well! While the Venezuelan and Peruvian navies remain powerful, will they be enough to stop the ever-surging tide of ships from across the pond?
The following units have been dislodged:
Brazil A Corr. (forced disband)
Brazil F Uruguay (forced disband)
Great Britain F Sao Salvador (retreat to Para or disband)
Spain F Canal Viejo de Bahama (retreat to Bahamas, Camaguey, Florida, Florida Strait, North Caribbean, Santo Domingo or disband)
Spain F Charleston (retreat to Florida or disband)
If your units are on the list of dislodgments, I need retreat orders from you in the next 24 hours (unless you're Brazil); I will finish the update once that has happened.

Spring 1846 Moves, Part 2: Piffed Fleet Poogaloo
Here's the new state of the board after the dust has settled:
It is now Fall 1846. Powers should submit orders to me by Wednesday, August 28th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
It's interesting to see that Chile and Brazil remain at war with the north becoming so consolidated, with even Venezuelan armies seemingly encroaching on that mosh pit. Given Chile's considerable naval power, they would be a very important asset for any cohesive stop-the-solo attempt against Britain.

Corrections:
- During the Fall and Winter 1845 turns, a British fleet in Mid-Atlantic Ocean was incorrectly shown as still being in its previous location (West Indies). The issue has been fixed for the Spring maps and did not affect the accuracy of actual order sets or adjudication.
- On the Spring movement map, the Chilean A S.F.V.C. was shown with a red movement arrow despite successfully moving to Corr. This was a simple editing mistake, and the unit was still correctly treated as if the move was successful.
Imagine not mentioning me once smh

Fall 1846 Moves, Part 2: Missouri Moogaloo
Here's how the board looks now, with Britain a mere 1 center away from the solo:
SUPPLY CENTER CHANGES:
Great Britain has gained control of Bahamas, Charleston, Manaos, New Orleans and Texas, but lost control of Trinidad (+4 builds)
Chile has gained control of Uruguay and Asuncion (+2 builds)
Venezuela has gained control of Belo Horizonte, Bogota, Sao Paulo, and Trinidad, but lost control of Manaos and Panama (+2 builds)
Peru has gained control of Panama but lost control of Bogota, so they have no adjustments!
New Granada has not gained or lost any supply centers, so they have no adjustments!
Mexico has lost control of New Orleans and Texas, but they waived a build last year (-1 disband)
Brazil has lost control of Asuncion, Belo Horizonte, Sao Paulo and Uruguay, but has already destroyed 3 units (-1 disband)
Spain has lost control of Bahamas and Charleston, and has been eliminated from the game. meamPearl considering you were a first-time player learning the game on a highly complex and non-standard map, I'd say you did incredibly well. Steady early-game growth and alliance-building was sadly cut short by a British stab, but there's still a lot of positives you can take away from this.
It is now Winter 1846. Build orders should be submitted to me by Friday, August 30th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
Many have predicted that the game would end this year, but thanks to Jalmont's heroics and a heads-up bounce from pulsar, that wasn't to be! I still see a salvageable stop-the-solo scenario here, but it'll take a lot of effort and a lot of guesswork to actually succeed. This is the part of Diplomacy that truly tests all parts of a player's skill: negotiation, planning, and tactical efficiency.

Spring 1847 Moves, Part 1
As our long and arduous conflict reaches its mighty crescendo, we see quite a few interesting happenings on the board: Brazil is dying out and helping the British solo threat with their dying breath, Peru is once again proving itself the King of the Convoy, and Mexico is still shifting its armies around and pretending to do something! I'm sure those armies are trying their best.

Great Britain F South Atlantic Ocean (retreat to Todos os Santos Bay or disband)

Spring 1847 Moves, Part 2: North America Gets More Blue
Here's the new state of the board after retreats:
It is now Fall 1847. Powers should submit orders to me by Friday, September 6th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
This phase played host to the first draw vote of the game! Sunny is actually starting up law school right now, for anyone who hasn't heard, so he's in a race against time to secure this solo before the end of 1847. He proposed a draw that included all surviving players except Brazil and New Granada, but someone vetoed it, so we keep playing!

Fall 1847 Moves, Part 1
This is it! The moment we've all been waiting for! The climactic battle for a British solo ends here, as sunny grapples with his new responsibilities as a law student and alcoholic-in-training! Have they gotten the necessary +1 net center gain that will put them over the line? It would appear not! Also, it appears that Chile REALLY wants to paint Mato Grosso their color before the end of the game...

Fall 1847 Moves, Part 2: All Blown-Up Boogaloo
And here's the new state of the board, with no solo winner crowned!
SUPPLY CENTER CHANGES:
Peru has gained control of Antofagasta, Guatemala, and Manaos (+3 builds)
Great Britain has gained control of Trindad, lost control of Guatemala and Manaos, and had three units destroyed (+2 builds)
Venezuela has gained control of Rio de Janeiro but lost control of Trinidad, so they have no adjustments!
Mexico and New Granada have not gained or lost any supply centers this year, so they have no adjustments!
Chile has lost control of Antofagasta (-1 disband)
Brazil has lost control of all remaining supply centers, and they are eliminated from the game. Dead by Daylight well played from you, I think you had a solid position for a while that sadly came apart after Argentina fell. It happens, I hope you had some fun regardless.
It is now Winter 1847. Build orders must be submitted to me by Sunday, August 8th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
My existence offends Peru! Also, there was another draw vote at the start of this phase... it failed!

Corrections:
- I forgot to recolor Antofagasta to reflect its new owner, but the center does belong to Peru and the space will be recolored in the winter update (if the game doesn't draw before then).
Winter 1847 Builds
The British suffer a major setback, but remain a formidable force with two rebuids... meanwhile Peru gets to enjoy the fruits of his new conquests, and Chile bears part of the cost.
It is now Spring 1848. Powers should submit orders to me by Thursday, September 12th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
With the solo threat seemingly pushed back, and players starting to tire from the long game, it's entirely possible that the game ends in a draw here. Whether this is the last update or not, it's been a wild ride so far, and I'm looking forward to unpacking it more in postgame! Also, sorry for the delay; I was rather preoccupied on Sunday.

GAME OVER! 5-WAY DRAW!
Well folks, it looks like that's all she wrote. After seven years of fierce fighting, brutal backstabbing, nail-biter negotiating, and a monstrous British solo threat, we've reached our final conclusion for this game. On behalf of the myself and the players, I'd like to thank anyone who was following along with this game as a spectator, whether casually through this thread or with full investment on our Discord server. I hope this was worth the time. And of course, thanks to the players for putting on a show. This is the final board state, the new canonically accurate map of the Americas:
FINAL SUPPLY CENTER COUNTS:
sunny004 as Great Britain: 22 supply centers (draw partner + board top)
bluedoom as Peru: 13 supply centers (draw partner)
Lechen as Chile: 10 supply centers (draw partner)
JALMONT as Venezuela: 10 supply centers (draw partner)
pulsar512b as Mexico: 5 supply centers (draw partner)
ImaginaryNeon as New Granada: 1 supply center (survivor, but excluded from draw)
Dead by Daylight as Brazil: Eliminated in 1847 (peak SC count: 6)
meamPearl as Spain: Eliminated in 1846 (peak SC count: 8)
M2H as United States: Eliminated in 1844 (peak SC count: 6)
Aura Guardian as Argentina: Eliminated in 1844 (peak SC count: 4)
Thanks again to everyone who played or just gave the game a passing glance. It's been my pleasure to spread the game of Diplomacy as far and wide as I can, and I hope I'll continue to have opportunities to do so in the future. I will be posting a more detailed postgame report relatively soon, going over the performance of each individual Power as well as my own performance as GM; there's a lot to discuss on both fronts, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, I suggest you all keep an eye out for the next Smogon Diplomacy event, a more traditional game hosted by our dominant England from The Lost Art of Diplomacy: LonelyNess!
Oh, and one more thing: if you're interested in seeing the gory details of how the board evolved in the way it did, come check out our Discord server, where I'll now be opening up the players' negotiation channels to the general public!

i don't think i played super well, i definitely should have been more careful around sunny. we allied early in the game and i just kind of sheeped him. ce la vie! think if game played out we definitely lose to sunny, so glad to get a draw
Time to curl back into a ball
Honestly I don’t think you played horribly at all, especially for a first-timer. I think you definitely shouldn’t have listened to me when I said to waive a build though; that should have set off a few more alarm bells. But for a beginner I think you played well!
Edit: I will post more thoughts later, esp. Re: solo chances, but I wanted to address pulsars point first
Oh shit yeah I have to finish the Minecraft map
If people decide you want to just carve me up, then next time can you just collectively tell me outright that I can stop caring? False hope is the cruelest of them all.
Sorry man, in my defence I didn't want to carve you up at all, but I had made an agreement with lechen (who stuck to it) to just not attack each other, and the more pressing concern for me was gb getting all of the centres for free in the north. Perhaps in a different timeline I stab lechen with you, I think if it wasn't build anywhere I have no reason to keep chile alive because they can build very close to my home scs.
