Hello all. Keep in mind that orders are due tomorrow at 5PM CST. I’ve got a simple webpage set up thanks to Dave. I’ll probably get bored one night coming up and break out the web development software I have gathering dust and make this prettier and overly complicated, so if it changes drastically don’t freak out. I have however been busy, and decided to just retro fit Dave’s version from 1046 George. And since that game just ended, lets call it a memorial. Without further ado… [SDMB Newbie Diplomacy, Cat23 1092 “-GRY”](http://users.rcn.com/ben.gabrielson/Diplomacy/1092_GRY/) PS. Players, check your emails. ---

Boy is that the truth. I would just like to say thank you for whoever got the idea of a Newbie (although we have less newbies than I thought) Dip game. The machinations are astounding! This is truly fun… I was actually getting a rush trying to decide on my final moves last night. I’m eagerly awaiting the sort of peanut gallery critiquing from Dip threads in the past. I’m new, but it looks to me like some interesting deals have been struck already! ---

I think that you are overestimating our sophistication, dear Sultan. But if Germany is in a “fine wine attack”, maybe we can suspect you of a “fine whine defense”?
