It may be interesting to compare our opening moves with those of the [big kids](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=193739) game. Their Spring 01 moves came out earlier this afternoon. ---

Iā€™ve gotten everyoneā€™s orders and the turn is closed. I need to ask that you all cease your dipping until Iā€™ve sorted out this turn. Thereā€™s a GM issue which I need to deal with, and Iā€™ll get an explaination and the results to you all as soon as possible. ---

Not serious in the life or death kind of way, but it certainly has itā€™s implications. ---

Hahaha! As a fellow GM, I know what the issue is. But I canā€™t tell you, only taunt you. Iā€™m also interested to see how this one sorts out. And I didnā€™t know until the last few posts that **Einmon** was female (right?). Now Iā€™m cheering for her because we all know the world needs more dominatrixes (is that the correct plural?) ---

Just as a guess, I bet Omni got some ambigous or void orders. And heā€™s got to decide whether to give the offending player(s) another shot at sending something intelligible. Kids today.
