Due to the fact that this is rapidly going nowhere fast and nobody seems able to make any significant moves, I am putting this game out its misery and declaring it complete. Germany is the official winner, though everyone that actually stayed in the game until this point deseves at least some props.
Final supply center totals:
Germany: 16
Turkey: 10
England: 6
Russia: 2
AWARDS:
Austria earns the "fetal position" award for never occupying a single supply center, despite being surrounded by them. They also earn the "tri-divide" award for being conquered by three separate countries.
France earns the "French it up" award for unceremoniously dropping out of the fight at the smallest hint of a problem.
Italy earns "all this fuel and nowhere to go" for moving their units around in circles and not even capturing north africa. They also earn the "quit while you're ahead" award for dropping out of the game on a build phase where they could actually build.
Russia earns the "I'm a big boy now" award for thinking they can take on their enemies without needing alliance. Russia also earns the "spirit of the game" award after their glorious revolution for dutifully sticking with the game, submitting orders, and even occasionally retaking territory.
England earns the "nothing to see here, move along" award for remaining out of the major crossfire until later in the game. They also earn the "teatime in africa" award for dispatching most of their armed forces away from home, leaving their home ports largely undefended.
Turkey earns the "ironwall" award for so many successful defenses. They also earn the "mind's eye" award for being able to predict very often what their opponents were going to do and react accordingly.
And finally, Germany earns the "blitzkrieg" award for their tendancy of dispatching units in many directions, often without support, allowing them to take huge territory early on. They also earn the "master manipulator" for getting almost everyone in the game to do what they want before backstabbing them.
I may host another game in the future. Thank you all for playing.
