Alright, we’ll take our cue from Zeriel… I’ll drop a line to our noble and fair adjudicator as well. I recommend everyone do the same. Hello page 3! (do we do that here? We should!) ---

Awesome. Alright folks, to make things easier on our glorious adjudicator, PLEASE send me an e-mail if you are intersted in participating in Game Adams. E-mail is in the profile. Please include SDMB in your title, or you may get picked by my Spam-erator! ---

Ok, I’ve got e-mails from \*\* Myself Zeriel Malacandra Rifleman23 Kyyrewyyoae \*\* I’ve sent out 2 more e-mails to others who had expressed interest previously. Any other takers? Drop me a line, it’s in the profile!! We’re so close, I can practically taste it. Once I have 7 confirmed, I’ll be handing it all over to **Johnathan Chance** , and he’ll take it from there. ---

I’m up earlier than **Jonathan Chance** due to the time difference so i’ll steal his thunder 😃 [Map is up For Spring 1902 Zotti](http://www.wooleysark.com/dip/SDMBZotti/S02.html) So come on then you diplomatic voyeurs - how are we doing? 🙂 ---

wow… I wonder if we’re seeing a rather rare Turkey-Italy alliance? Austria is in a bad way, if that is the case. Poor Russia. At least the spires on the Orthodox churches won’t have to be altered to badly to be turned into Mosques. ---

[QUOTE=Tristan] Poor Russia. At least the spires on the Orthodox churches won’t have to be altered to badly to be turned into Mosques. [/QUOTE] Russia chiming in here. I gotta say, the last e-mail exchange I had with Turkey had me rolling from laughing. In summary: Turkey double crosses me. He then sends me this 2-page long very well-articulated email about how it was nothing personal, we could still be friends against Austria if we did this, this, and this, etc etc. I replied: “Die in a fire you impudent pig-dog” Turkey’s reply: “See you in Moscow” Well played sir, well played. ---

Awesome. I’m watching this with great interest, as I was supposed to be Turkey in the original game… Intriguing. Also, still waiting for one more person! I’ve got a list to give to Nate that’s shy one name. dang it. ---

Ok folks… I have sent an e-mail to Nate with the board names (if I had them) and the e-mail addresses of the 7 folks that are interested in playing that have written to me. Watch the thread, and check your e-mails over the next few days. Be sure to check your spam filter as well… ---

Awesome… It looks like the Turk played things quiet well, and Austria ends up sitting, while maybe not as pretty as he could be, certainly in better shape than I expected. Not sure what Russia can do at this point. 2 build France… very nice.
