Well, I’ve updated my wall board\* at home, and sent in my moves, so it’s fortunately a moot point for me. Since the problem seems to be only with S06 of Dip 983, I expect life will be fine after our esteemed GM updates the board in the morning whilst dressing for his interview. (Good luck, Nate!) I will be away from late tomorrow morning until Sunday afternoon - Saturday’s the Firefly wedding anniversary\*\*, so the wife and I are getting out of town for a little relaxation. So I won’t be answering Dip communiques during that time. \*[sub]Yep, I’ve got a magnetic Dip board on the wall. Is that cool or what? If anyone wants to know how to put one together, just holler. It’s easy.[/sub] \*\*[sub]Our eleventh. :)[/sub] ---

Come on, 'Fly. Where’s your priorities. If you were playing Dip at the time you got married she had to know. It’s not like its false advertising or anything. Good luck on the interview, Nate. Congratulations on the anniversary, Firefly. My wife and I met 10 years ago on May 9. ---

I see the same problem from here. I just assumed that someone went nuclear and that was all that was left. Kim, congratulations! ---

OK, just in case I u/l all the Dip maps again from recent turns in 983. Hope that makes your lives simpler. I have all the orders. Adjudication shortly. ---

Thanks, guys! And **Abe** , congrats to you on _your_ anniversary. 🙂 I think the map thing must be David Copperfield’s latest illusion. Hopefully he’ll make Europe reappear this morning. 🙂 It turns out I can see the map OK in Netscape 6.1, though not with Netscape 4.7 or IE 5.5. Go figure. ---

Weird-O, buddy. Here, just for you: [Both Dips 936 and 983 have been adjudicated.](http://www.wooleysark.com/dip) Get those retreats and builds into me, children. I’ve got a wedding I’m in this weekend and next week I’m away Wed-Fri at E3. ---

Not to mention I should have been in Tunis _last_ year, but forgot to submit orders for that fleet. C’mon, **MrsEG** , double checking orders is for wimps. You don’t need to do that. ---

Abe, Yes you should of been in Tunis. But you are there now. As for being a wimp, Yes I am when it comes to submitting orders plus when drinking a nitecap of Southern Comfort ( the nasty crap… I swear I will not drink that again). Because bad things can happen like supporting you to Greece and kicking me out of an SC. Thats Mine, mine , mine… hopefully. and France would be in Venice. ---

Hey, Southern Comfort was my entire life support system my freshman year. [Winter 1906 in 983 and Winter 1907 in 936 have been adjudicated.](http://www.wooleysark.com/dip) Knock yourselves out. ---

**MrsEG** - it’s all your fault for not being in Dip 983, where France _is_ in Venice. 🙂 ---

But…but it’s so _picturesque!_ Now that I’ve got it, I couldn’t _bear_ to part with it, y’know? It’s got sentimental value to me now. Although Rome would be an acceptable substitute. I could declare myself Pope! 😃 ---
