At least Dave’s was close enough that he didn’t need a Visa for the move. ---

He sure didn’t! He borrowed the truck, he bribed his friends with pizza to get their help, and he paid cash for the pizza. No plastic needed. ::_D&R_:: ---

Ummmm. Retreats in Dip 983, anyone? And **RT** , to think you wanted to call a draw some time back. ---

Just in case anyone missed it, our esteemed GM has hit one of those [speed bumps](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=114283) in the road of life. He may be a bit distracted right now, so I’m thinking that we could at least get the retreats out of the way online. My fleet that got pushed out of Tunis is retreating to the Western Med, which should surprise nobody. **White Lightning** , if you could post where your retreat will be to, then everyone will know everything they need to send in build/disband orders. Would that be OK with you? ---

Sure, sorry. I’ve gotten into the habit of handling my Dip stuff really late at night. My army will retreat to Serbia. I’ve also got my builds all ready. :rolleyes: ---

OK, I’ve handled retreats in 983. But I no longer have access to the email account we’ve been using for orders. Check my profile and use that account from here on out. Everyone in 936? You still need to get me your builds. If you sent them earlier to the regular address I will never get them. ---

Do you need Dip 983 Winter 05 builds/disbands to your new address as well? ---

Yep. Anything that was sent yesterday should be resent. Just in case. ---

Hey, there was a week’s delay for me, and another one for ShibbOleth (Is that a zero or a capital letter ‘o’?). Oh yeah, 936, you’re all bastiges. ---

I didn’t _ask_ for a week. I could have come up with those boneheaded maneouveres in a few minutes. Come to think of it… what a maroon! ---

Sad to say, due to IRL issues for players in both games orders are delayed until tomorrow at 7AM. Isn’t the suspense killing you? ---
