Not much I can do about that.Might need a bit more orange/purple, though.

Imagine not mentioning me once smhSpring 1846 Moves, Part 2: Piffed Fleet Poogaloo
Here's the new state of the board after the dust has settled:

Great Britain F Sao Salvador RETREATS to Para
Spain F Canal Viejo de Bahama DISBANDS
Spain F Charleston DISBANDS
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.
Time to curl back into a ballGAME 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:

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 in the near future, 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 to see 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!
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!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
Oh shit yeah I have to finish the Minecraft mapTime to curl back into a ball
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.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.
