@gamerman01 Pleasure playing you as well! I hope I can quickly improve to a point where I can give you a real challenge, haha. It’s so refreshing playing someone who isn’t me!

@AndrewAAGamer said in 2025 OOB Playoff Final AndrewAAGamer (L+51) bs BobbaRossa (X):

This is an invalid bump.

I responded to your original game save file within 24 hours; well within the 72 hour bump rule telling you I was unable to open the file.

Until you present me with a file that I am able to open the game has not started, thus, the bump rule does not even apply yet.

Please present to me a game save file I can open. Or, since this bump implies you are not planning on sending me a different save game file, please send me your dice rolling e-mail and I will create a new save game file for you.

Thank you…

On the contrary, the rules are quite explicit:
“5b - 72 hour warnings: After 72 hours and there is no game-play post from your opponent (i.e. at least a game decision made), you may post “bump” and the number of the bump (Bump#1, Bump #2, or Bump #3), which creates the “warning”. Do not include any other text so that a bump post is clear.”

A game-play post was made by your opponent that you failed to respond to with “at least a game decision made” within 72 hours.

It is not my fault or concern that you are utilizing an old version of the software when newer versions are readily available. Every game I have played since November has been on this version and have had no issues with anyone else. I am not obliged to cater to your whims beyond what is in the rules, which I am already begrudgingly doing.

The first bump stands.

Novgorod will fall next round I think. Ukraine should be captured this round but you might recapture. Paris will fall this round and you are unlikely to recapture at least next round, perhaps the round after although at great cost. Italy should be reduced to 1IPC/round. Still alive and kicking but not so much fighting.

Not sure about the Pacific, Japan has interesting choices about what to defend.
