Original Game Announcement

February 10th, 1995

Dwarven Chowder IV -- The Grande Finale.

This will be the last Dwarven Chowder. I will be graduating in May and
time constraints will force this to be the last.

So here it goes.

Large world. Size not yet determined. This one will be continental
with a few lakes and rivers.

Good to Wow resources.

ETUs will be 64/update. Tech Log will be 1.95.

Update will be one/day. The time will be 2:00pm EST. No weekend updates.

No countries will be turned away. I will check my mail at 3pm EST
on 2/16/95. I will then create the world. Any entries after this time
will be put on the waiting list.

The first update will be the 2pm update on 2/21/95. I haven't decided
about walls. With all of the tools around now I may make deity mil walls
or handicap startup mobility.

We will use Standard DC Options:
ALLYHARBOR, SHOWPLANE, DROPANY, REJECTS, BMAP, AUTONAV, SCUTTLE,
CONVASAT, ORBIT, ABM, GRIND, PINPOINTMISSILE, SAIL, NUKEFAILDETONATE,
MISSINGMISSILES, SHIPNAMES, NONUKESUB, BETTERABM, RANGEEDIT, MISSDEF,
SHIPSAM, BIND, DEMANDUPDATE, UPDATESCHEDULING, MERC, TACARGO, NOGODS,
EASY_BRIDGES, SUPER_BARS, BETTERARMOR, ALL_BLEED, DRNUKE, GODNAMES,

Game Summary

It was billed as the Grande Finale. The last of the Dwarven Chowder series in which Sam Tetherow (Drazz'zt) and myself (Chowder) co-deitied together.

I created this world with the "land" program which is in the Chainsaw 3.31 distribution. It created some huge continents on my 96x192 map. After new_ore was ran I saw that this would be a very rich setup. I was expecting the Grande Finale to last until the Massive Nuke Stage.

But alas, that was not meant to be. After starting with Fourty-four players the field had been ten during the past two weeks and most of the remaining countries had enough co-rulers to maintain a 24 hour vigil on their countries.

Pudline, tech leader for much of the game, had allied with The_Jainists, the land leader, and the two of them looked like they were going to wait for nukes and then roll the others.

At least that was the plan, on Thursday, April 13, 1995, at 12:48:06 game time, the nation of Camelot issued this statement.

The nation of Camelot, after fighting
valiantly for several months no longer has
the inclination to continue exhaustive wars
that we will inevitably lose to shear numbers,
tech, and money.

We concede victory to the nations of Pudline
and The_Jainists. It is now up to them to
declare the win for themselves. We will not
contest it.

'Been fun!

Before the 14:00 update all countries had joined them in conceding the victory to Pudline and The_Jainists with honorable mention to the satelite allies Waffen and Barsoom.

This was a good game, very smooth and both Sam and I were gone for parts of play. I had not followed many of the wars after the obvious fodder had been removed but I was looking forward to an all out slugfest at the end. The Grande Finale so to speak...

Anyway, many thanks to all who have played in the DC series, thanks to Sam for agreeing to co-deity with me and thanks especially thanks to all who helped Sam with the code before the first of the series.

I plan to take this game down and then compress the version of the code we have been running the games on. Hopefully I will land somewhere after graduation so that I may use it again. Or perhaps someone else has an HP9000/735 laying around and would like to use some tested code.

Good day all, may we meet again,
Dusty of Chowder
