First set of orders is in already. **Schnitte** is already making a good showing for a noob at least in the trash talk department. Lets hope his play matches. ---

So is there a link or do I have to get on the e-mail list? In other words, exactly what constitutes pulling up a chair in these here parts? And will there be hors d’ouervres? (reminiscent of Manassas, what?) ---

You mention the horse du ovreees. Does that mean you are rooting for France? Shibbster, I’ll plan on putting you on the list for adjudications. Anyone else. You’re right JC, the GM part is kinda fun. ---

Due to a request from player, orders are now due on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. CST. I have orders from all but two of you already. I know who you are and where you live (at least the state) Orders are changeable until adjudication deadline. If you mark your orders “Final” and I have seven sets of final orders prior to the deadline, I might adjudicate early. If there’s no indication, I will assume the orders are preliminary and wait until the deadline. ---

Just thought you all should know that in my WM tourney, I masterfully finagled two new supply centers for 1902, and have one open home center available. Aberration anyone? ---

**Soupy** , you are on the distribution list to receive the adjudications for this game, so as soon as a certain unnamed party gets off of Sister Maria and gets his orders in, you’ll get an email. ---

Would one of you pros be willing to GM a SDMB Beginners game? With the experienced people on the sidelines, the banter would be interesting. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-diplomacy/138279.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-diplomacy/138279.md?page=5)
