Anything between noon and midnight is fine with me, however late deadlines on Friday and Saturday would be bad. ---

BTW, Jonathan Chance asked me to ask for a 24 hour delay on his behalf. He’s stuck under 3 feet of snow with no 'net access and has already been told not to come into work tomorrow, so Tuesday is prolly the earliest he can even get access to his email. ---

New Spring '01 deadline: Weds. Feb 19th, 11pm EST. Work for everyone? Thanks **Dave**. ---

Has anyone heard from Nanook of the East recently (Dave?) Dip Minime orders are still due tomorrow if we don’t hear from him. I’ll be glad to extend it if he’s still incommunicado. ---

Hey! Use your own thread! (If we need to move 1099 to Thursday to avoid conflict for the few players that are also in Minime, that’s fine with me.) Speaking of Minime… _tap tap_… is this thing on? ---

By golly, there’s a man under all that snow! Hope all is well with Nate and all the East Coasters. I hadn’t really thought about it, but should **WL** and I be making any effort to avoid having the same deadlines in Minime and 1099. I’ve never minded having two deadlines on the same day, but if others do, we can arrange something. In any case, I forsee my orders always being due at 5 pm, as I don’t have RealPolitik at work. ---

For those who haven’t been checking email (or **Abe** ’s thread): Orders due tonight at about 9pm PST/midnight EST, a.k.a. ‘whenever I get home.’ As of this morning at 8am PST/11am EST I had 4 sets. Get 'em in! There won’t be any retreats this turn so we can schedule the F01 right away. Shall we say Wednesday evening? ---

I was gonna say we need more time for Austria to wail and tear out his hair, but he doesn’t have that much. Wednesday is fine for me. ---

What do you expect the final schedule to be? Will it always be the last deadline plus six days? ---

We are both fans of the year a week plan, or the “Wooley Timetable” 3 days dipping for spring turn 3 days for the fall turn 1 day for winter builds. ---

Yeah. 1901 tends to take longer, so I’m trying to work in a couple extra days. Though W01 should still be only one day. Ideal would be F01 Weds of next week, W01 Thurs, S02 Tues, F02 Thurs, W02 Fri. And then T/Th/F for the remainder. Looks like I need one more set of orders for tonight. ---

S01 adjudication emails are out. Sorry for the delay. Next turn is Fall of 1901, due Weds. Feb 26, 8pm PST/11pm EST. Quick website with the map is [here](http://www.geocities.com/inthetank2001/DIP1099S01results.html) in case you don’t have email right now. ---

Except for the BS in the middle, this is a pretty amusing thread to read along. Now to follow that little linky thing which **WL** so thoughtfully provided. ---

Okay, left half of the map is pretty mundane, but the right, hoo boy. **WL** , how’d you let **Abe** and **McG** back together again? I think you’re going to be getting hatemail from **tjblack** for years to come. Although it’s good to see **Bibliovore** taking advantage of the chaos. Hehe. ---

Hey **Shibb** , I’ll add you to the list for adjudication emails if you like. Although hopefully we should have a real website before too long, so all the orders would be on there too. ---
