JINGO

JINGO was a standard variant game started on an invitation-only basis.
It was started on this basis during a time on afpdip when there were
few game starts and was begun for the reason of letting some people
play who had been GMs more than players.

JINGO received its name in the hope that the game end would coincide
with the publication of Terry Pratchett's book of the same name.

JINGO was won by John Fouhy, playing as Germany, just after F1921M
with a total of 18 Supply Centres.  The other survivors were Jake Aard
with 11 SCs and Murky with 5 SCs.  Also involved were Piers Forrest, who
was eliminated in 1911, Mike Smith, who was eliminated in 1913, Bjorn
Bjornsson, who was eliminated in 1914, and Hippie who was eliminated in
the last move of the game.

In real time, JINGO took 1 year, two months.  The game was mastered by
Alexander Kamilewicz.

The final standings are as follows:

Austria-Hungary:  9  Units, 11 Supply Centres
England:          0  Units, 0  Supply Centres
France:           0  Units, 0  Supply Centres
Germany:          16 Units, 18 Supply Centres
Italy:            6  Units,  5 Supply Centres
Russia:           0  Units,  0 Supply Centres
Turkey:           0  Units,  0 Supply Centres
