I’m still orderless, and I’ll adjudicate when I can. If things don’t clear up as the weekend comes to a close I may have to start considering a NMR. Lets keep our fingers crossed. ---

Hey, whoever this is, get your orders in! NMRs suck, even if they go in your favor. ---

Okay, the big question of this round is: Is there some sort of convention going on in Amsterdam? > [@](#): > > A Berlin - Holland (_Dislodged_) > A Edinburgh - Holland (_Fails_) > A Kiel - Holland > A Sweden - Holland (_Fails_) What’s up, **Hugh Jass**? Are all your Generals ordering shore leave in the Red Light District? ---

Are all your Generals ordering shore leave in the Red Light District? \*\* There’s a problem with my orders. I didn’t order all these guys into Holland. I ordered them to Hold their position. I suspect the orders might have been entered wrong. I sent an email to Ben, so we’ll have to wait and see what the map really should look like. ---

Yup, I’ve readjudicated. I was rushed to adjudicate and didn’t take time to proofread the orders before sticking them into the RP software (another bad side effect of late orders!). I explained it in the message, but the short version is basically a reitteration of a warning I gave early in the match. Anything with a dash is read as a move, and RP unfortunately reads a move to “hold” as a move to Holland. Nevertheless, the intention was clear and I’ve decided to readjudicate with the corrections. As a result we no longer have a retreat needed, and I’m setting the winter deadline for tomorrow at 4PM CDT, followed by a Spring 1907 deadline at 5PM CDT Friday. I’ll get the webpage hacked together shortly. We having fun yet? ---

_cough_ Is this thing on? Yeah, I know, the deadline’s not for a few hours but I haven’t heard any chatter at all since the deadline was pushed back. Thought that it might spur _some_ discussion. ---

Got the last set of orders at about 1AM, adjudication was out shortly thereafter. There’s some important stuff in there regarding a player dropping out. Its late, and I’ll post more after I get some sleep about my quest for a replacement. ---

We’ll miss you, **JayLa**! I hope you clear up whatever needs clearing. More importantly hope to see you in one of these again soon. We need more of that iron feminine touch, and you’ve done quite well. Let’s just hope the new French Monarch despises the English, or vice versa.
