I don’t know which you are, but I loved the entirely contradictory messages from France. Or someone posing as France.
I don’t think I would like the Black Press very much. I take it that it first goes through the GM, so as to edit out the (from) line and other identifying marks?
I do, however, like the idea that you are transmitting your plan to your enemy, but it is drowned out in an sea of contradictory information.
My guess would be Italy, or possibly Germany.
And I don’t think I can wait until RT comes home from work for adjudication. RT you really look flushed. Why don’t you take a sick day and rest? If not, perhaps White Lightning could adjudicate the turn and let me know what happens.
Sorry kids, guess I’m the culprit. I was on vacation over the weekend, came back late, and was promptly assaulted by work and personal matters of high priority. I didn’t check any of my email, and I completely forgot to submit my orders.
Guess it’s up to RT.
My vote would be that one of the East Coasters give him a kick in the pants and have him submit orders pronto.
A NMR at this point would seriously topple the balance of the game.
We can’t kick him in the pants. He’s from NYC. We’re still afraid Giuliani will come down here and kick our collective asses.
Actually, I don’t really think it would.
Yeah, right. Like I voted for that asshole.
We have a full set of move orders. I’ll adjudicate when I get home - expect results in the 7:00-7:15pm EDT neighborhood. I have already more or less adjudicated this by hand here at the office, but I wouldn’t be able to update the map, and I like having the RealPolitik software check my work.
Let me remind everyone that we’re NOT in a Diplomacy period, and that a quick turnaround on retreats will help this evening, so people can decide where to build/disband by tomorrow morning.
To facilitate that, I’ll shortly let everyone know (by individual emails) whether or not they’ll have to write retreat orders this evening. (You’ll find out then what unit(s) need to retreat, and what your options are. This will just be advance warning to be ready.)
I changed my mind - adjudication has been sent out by email.
Since I did it by hand, please email me if you think I goofed.
France and Russia, you have retreats. They should be straightforward. Get 'em in.
We’re gonna have one funky map tonight.
Those were some strange moves. I sure goofed on one, at least. Looks like some others may have as well. Can’t wait to see the map tonight.
All I can say is:
THANKS SHIBB.
Same to you, pal.
Whatcha gonna disband, there, Maeg?
Hmm?
You said I could come after Berlin. As little time as I gave these orders, did you think I’d miss a run on Sweden?
Mega-dittos from me.
I always knew you were a republican. You empire-builders always are.
It’s not an empire so much as a coalition. . . .

I’m sorry. Really I am.
And I still need some retreats. Get 'em in!
