Howdy. Newbie to the SDMB here, but no stranger to play-by-email Diplomacy. I’d love to join in a game if you’re starting one up. Ideally I’d like to start from the beginning, rather than take over from someone else.

OT to anyone who may have received email from me: Have you been seeing strange characters in my emails? I’m using a new email client, and I’ve noticed that when I get replies from people where they have included my original text, the apostrophes and sometimes the quotation marks have changed to commas or other characters.

Still waiting on one set of Final orders to adjudicate.
Winter orders are going to be due tomorrow at 5PM presuming I get them in time to adjudicate.
Well, deadline has passed, and I’m just wondering how many knife handles I’ll have to extract from my backside in the morning… shall we take a count?
Shibbs, had you gotten me a FINAL set of orders I’d have happily adjudicated sooner…stay tuned.
