Just wanted to give everyone advanced warning that I’ll be out of town again this weekend from Friday afternoon until Sunday evening, without email contact. And as usual, I work all afternoon, evening and night Monday. So, we’ll have to work on getting our emails exchanged in the meantime somehow. Cheers.

85

Quit having so much fun. I’m also driving back to Ohio this weekend, so I won’t see emails from sometime Friday night until late Sunday, at the earliest, maybe Monday morning.

86

All orders were in by noon, but almost everyone had some mistake in their orders. A couple I was able to correct, otherwise I sent a note advising you to review your orders. I’ll give you all until about 4 pm to review and revise, and then I’m adjudicating.

I guess no-one likes talking in here anymore. What about the spectators? No barbs for us? Any scathing comments on our tactical blunders?

And has anyone heard from Shibb lately?

90

Yeah, he e-mailed me today.

91

Yeah, we finally got our results yesterday, and things are back on track. Take a look!

92

I really wish I were better at talking creative smack, because I would…I really would.

93

Just to let everyone know, parts of Ottawa are still without power, including my school which hosts my email account. Unless you update the web page with things, I won’t be able to follow along, and I won’t be able to Dip with people until they restart the servers.

94

Thanks for the update, Lockz. I’ve had a couple of messages to you bounce, but they weren’t important and I’ve got your orders in. I’m still missing one set of orders, and have warned the offending party that without his orders I will have to NMR.

95

I do have one question on your orders, and your emails keep bouncing with error message:

I stripped your email addy out to keep it from the spiders

Anyway, try to email me with an alternate address, so that I can ask you a question.

I’m up for some trash talking.

The vast legions of Portugal will crush you like little children. Prepare for annhilation.

That is all.

Note, I need the retreats ASAP. Fall orders are due on Tuesday, 19 August.

98

I don’t get a 404 on that. Are you sure? Also note that if you want press, then write some. I can’t just make it up. Or I could, but it wouldn’t be very sporting.

Omniscient, I think I still need a retreat from you.

99

The German army sneaks happily back to St Petersburg, while the Italian Army withdraws to Marseilles. I’m certain that a lot of mirth ensues.

Don’t forget that the Fall turn is due tomorrow.

My main email address is back up, so Dip away!
