I refuse to discuss this game on the board until it has a name and/or a number.

Speaking of, how do I get a CAT # for the game? As to a name, I’m going to use what I suggested before, but was so rudely rejected.  
Ladies and Gentleman, I present Cat Game (whatever): George.

Austria, now that you’re here, is next Tuesday an OK start date, or do you want an extension too?

Dave-

Go to [www.cat23.com](http://www.cat23.com) and click on the Game Numbers link. That’ll set you up.

How much time does one need to move in & destroy Italy? 😉

Actually, an extension until Thursday would be much appreciated.

Plus, I don’t have anybody’s e-mail address except Abe Babe. Is there a private message component to this board which I am supposed to use?

I just sent a note to everyone in George 1046 an e-mail, so you should have now the names, e-mails and countries in one list. Please update that or let me know if you didn’t receive it.
