Movement
Goofy points from your friendly GM:
GM: A0, E2, F1, G0, I2, R0, T2
Austria: Too bad France didn't remember what she wanted. Also too bad
that you don't get a point for it.
England: Hurray for the convoy bounce!
France: 1 point for your short-term visit to Austria.
Germany: Being goofy with just one unit is difficult.
Italy: First point since your armies were all too polite to enter first.
Another point for the takeover.
Russia: Fleet Tunis HOLD?? Needed an SC, eh?
Turkey: Both the long convoy and the support for Austria into Con
looked funny to me.
My goofy points for F'07:
E: 2
F: 1
G: 1
I: 1
R: 0
T: 2
The massive convoy around England deserved lots of points -- the act
itself, the suggestion, the ultimate bounce -- too bad I couldn't give 3
points to all concerned!
A personal note to Italy: Yes, your moves with the armies were cute, but
you could do a lot better. One word: "butthead!" (not a personal insult
here, but rather a style of play). Why don't you take those lovely armies
that you've vamped and do it? Let me demonstrate for you with my fleets ...

Coming attractions: I've proxied three forces to three different
countries. Let's see some action.

I tried that once, as you, and got roundly critized that it wasn't
goofy enough -- a more goofy move is three force to one country. Ah
well, hope you have a better response.

Did anyone see Gary Larson's "FarSide" cartoon today? And did you notice
Freddie (mistakenly called "Donald" in the cartoon) basking on the
beachs of Italy? Serves him right for upsurping the proper ruler!

The city of Brest is ready to welcome the tourists from Liverpool.
It's Easter and Real Analysis sucks.

Is Real Analysis good the rest of the year?
Do the various branches of mathematics choose holidays upon which to
suck?

In fact, they do. Abstract Algebra sucks on Christmas, and Topology sucks on
Rosh Hashanah. As for the other branches, I could really give a damn, since
they were all sucking so often that I changed my major.

Don't forget to mention that actuarial mathematics sucks on Valentine's
Day, Hyperbolic Geometry sucks on Thanksgiving, and Linear Algebra sucks
on Chinese New Year.

Aww, c'mon, that's a joyous and contemplative time. Probably appropriate for
something with all the ups and downs of Topology...
TSESUC
Somehow, 'joy' and 'topology' always struck me as rather disjoint concepts.
Set theory (which incidentally sucks on Arbor Day), on the other hand, is quite
the joyous subject.
Candide
Just to add to the long list of holidays on which the various branches of
mathematics suck...Ordinary Differential Equations sucks on Groundhog
Day, while Partial Diffies sucks on President's Day.

Goofy points for Spring of 1908
A: 1 (all fleets converging to Apulia; sorry I got in the way)
E: 1 (another set of random, pointless moves)
F: 0
G: 2 (just for being aroung with one unit)
I: 1 (like England, nothing spectacular, but nice and random)
R: 2 (maybe your forces need a compass to organize better)
Italy: 2 points. I *do* enjoy people playing with proxies. Too bad
I didn't guess that you would give your fleet to me....
England: 1 point for some well-meant aimlessness. :)
Austria and France: 3 points collectively (1 point each, the .5 parts
disappear into the sub-ether) for your clownish manaeouvering
over Italy.
(Note: ROBERT - THIS MEANS A: 1, F: 1. *smile*)
Russia: 2 points. You are a goof-off after my own heart.
Sincerely,
P.S. I would like to apologize for my lateness. A small catastrophe
put me badly behind, and I didn't even see the first late message
until today. Oh, and by the way, Numerical Analysis is just a
uniform shade of drab hatefulness. It's a truly secularized
sort of "sucking" that has no particular Holy Day ascribed to it.
Goofy votes:
A 2 E 1 F 1 G 1 I - R 1 T 1
Austria gets the extra point for actually using one of my proxies
(though not to as amusing a purpose as I had hoped.)
I'm sure that had I proxied the fleet to England, his moves would have
gone through.
I really wanted the army in Rumania to end up in Armenia, but I guess
that was hoping for too much. Maybe I should be less obscure.

Broadcast message from Turkey in goofy:
Goofy points for Spring of 1908
A: 1 (all fleets converging to Apulia; sorry I got in the way)
Apulia? Iberia?
In the Shark Tank this month...
Turkey: not a bad ploy, it's awfully tough to discover NEW ways to fight
yourself at this point. I hope you take St. Pete. Missed the German proxy:
tsk tsk tsk. Minimum score.
Russia: Strung out all over the place, aren't you? I'd love to convoy your
F Mid to Bel... No points this time.
Italy: Hmm, a little dot-grabbing on the menu, eh? Minus points for you,
sirrah!
Germany: Why you little snot! I was sure you'd support Turkey in, leaving
the boat in the water for more interesting action in the Fall. Now you'll be
left out of the fun in the upcoming turn. AND complete failure to pick up the
Italian proxy. Minimum score.
France: Pretty dismal given your entertaining history. But you DID try to
Save the Beatles, so you get Best Actor award this time.
England: Good work, made an effort to abandon home all at once with all
forces. Failure of others to get the details right doesn't detract from your
effort.
Austria: This is called "setting up for next time", right? I hope?
--TSEK
The loyal teenagers of Brest are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the
visitors from Liverpool.
England, I have a better idea. Want to play beleaguered garrison with
me?
Austria, can I have my boat ride now please? 3 points if you guess
the destination.
Oh, just forget about that boat ride.

Just found out proxy doesn't work for retreats :(
GM's goofy votes for spring 1908
A1, E2, F2, G0, I0, R1, T1
Austria: 1 point for being the only one to use his Italian proxy. Btw.
how bad that you missed your real chance to get into Con!
England: The Italians prevented you from leaving your home land totally.
But I'm sure you'll try again.
France: You showed true intentions of getting the Beatles into Brest,
which I think is quite goofy.
Germany: Can't give you mercy points for having only one unit each round,
sorry.
Italy: Your moves looked not convincing to me.
Russia: Another three steps into the right direction, eh? Note that
1910 is rushing near!
Turkey: Trying to help Austria into Con earns you 1 point.
Just in case you want to know: The illegal Russian votes for fall 1907
(summing up to 8 points) were replaced by a GMish point assignment.
