ignore the out of office - its because i’m now off work for two weeks - the emails automatically forward to my home address though so i still get them.
Garius, I’ve emailed you and have never replied. I haven’t gotten any bounces either. Let me know what the situation is please. Do you have a alternate email or anything?
Now, I’ve got another issue for you all to consider. As you may or may not have heard, the Newbie game has lost 2 players this last season. We’re in the Summer of 1907 and we have a leaderless France and Russia. Here’s the link to the homepage.
As you can see, both are fairly well positioned, and we’ve had 2 casualties so far. Even though the game started as a Newbie game, anyone’s welcome to volunteer to step in since they’ve gotten their legs under them by now. If you’re interested shoot me an email at the address linked at the top of the homepage listed above.
Bump
When are spring moves due? Tuesday morning again?
okay i still can’t work out what the problem is with emails etc, so what i’m going to suggest is can people use the one in my profile here - i know that one works.
I’ve also asked our GM if he doesn’t mind a slight delay - because i’m now unsure who has/hasn’t got emails i’ve sent them (Which is a bummer) and that will give me a chance to do a big re-canvasing of people (pretending to be friends with everybody etc. 
).
garius, that address is the same one I used at the outset. I’ve sent you a test message, reply and let me know if you’ve gotten it or not. Once I’ve gotten something back from you hopefully we can decide whether we love or hate one another.

Just a little nudge. garius seems to have disappeared; I hope he’s ok and just busy from RL concerns. Anyway, weirddave has asked me to take over Italia, and I’ve agreed to be the next guy run out of town by the Austro-Turkish alliance.
A/T isn’t wear the money’s at. It’s the Black-and-Blue alliance that’s running the map.
That Franco-Russian alliance has me worried too.
That may be true, McG, but might most immediate threat seems to be wearing yellow. Think globally, defend locally is my motto.
I’ve heard that certain monitors can display other primary colors as black near the center of the screen. Shibb, I’m pretty sure thats the case on your desktop.
Also, Wikkit, I’m getting messages bounced back saying that your inbox is filled. No can talkie to youie.
I was going to mention the same thing about Wikkit, but I wasn’t sure if he was a country I wanted to talk to or not. 
So now what’s the story?
Will the real Italy please stand up?
Yeah, a few too many attachments not deleted. My e-mail shuld be OK now.
Looking forward to getting the game going. I’m staring to wonder if naming it Bobble was descriptive or prescriptive.
McG, don’t taunt. You know I was in Chicago all weekend. Now I know why they call it the Windy City. And I don’t care what the tabloids say, I was not being plied with drinks by your rivals and allies. At least not all of them.
Wikkit, sorry, but since you didn’t come to ChiDope or respond to my e-mails, I will be forced to attack you. Nothing personal. Just please remind me again which country you are in so I might attack the right place.
Besides your all day, all night partying, I was also referring to the fact that garius has returned after a week in exile. So I wasn’t exactly sure of the plan, much less when orders are due.
I’m Austria, do your worst. I’ll crush you like a green bug.
What happens now that Garius is back? Is there a record for most replaced players in a game? How about longest game with supposedly 1 week years?
I’d be interested in those plans for Austria.
