Request for Trout; Could you make an updated map? If not, I'll upload one when I get back home (25th december)

Schedule: A nice break for the holidays now. I'm not certain which date we should go by, but let's put December 30th, 20:00:00 GMT up for next spring orders. If this does not work for any one player involved, then I'll postpone the game a bit longer. Let me know.

I think the point is that if you have to delay for personal reasons, that's fine. But you can still see the time e-mails and moves were sent in, in order to see if they were before the deadline.

You can also always grant an extension regardless of personal scheduling issues. If a 24-hour extension is inconvenient for you, extend it for 48 hours. Or extend it for 24-hours and then just put the game on hold until you get back. But don't deny it, unless you are going to deny every extension. Maybe the game slows down a bit, but that's a small price to pay for having everyone feel like the rules are fair.

Again, nobody is complaining about late adjudications. People are complaining about you sometimes waiting for late orders and other times adjudicating immediately.

Nobody is saying that your family should play second fiddle. But putting the game on hold IS better than showing preferential treatment to some players/requests. Much better.

I feel like you keep jumping to the conclusion that I/we are saying that visiting your family is not a good enough reason to delay the game. Delay the game! No problem. What is not cool is sometimes granting extensions or sometimes waiting for late orders. My suggestion for your games would be:

- Grant any extension request of up to 48 hours once per player. If that means a deadline falls at an inconvenient time for you, delay the adjudication, but not the deadline.
- Allow a grace period of 12 or 24 hours for late orders. Once per player, and only once.
- Do not propose that a specific player as a replacement and ask the players as a group if that's ok.

Above all, be fair and consistent in your rulings. Your family activities are more important than the game, but you can still schedule around your real life without comprimising fairness.

My husband is also active duty Navy and works 12 hour days leaving me home with a 4 year old and a 1 year old.
As for adjudicating 2 hours past the deadline, that's EXTRA time you get to send in moves. I have every right to send the turn out at the 7pm deadline. I DO NOT have to give anyone a GRACE period. Ask any MOD or GM on this site and they will tell you the same thing. IF I was doing so poorly in my GMing I am pretty sure one of the two MODS I include in every turn would have pointed something out.
David: As for you not turning in moves I sent you a PERSONAL reminder 11:38am the day orders were due informing you I was missing your orders. You had a WEEK to get your orders in. Just because you got sick the day they were due doesn't excuse you not sending in orders. My very first game ever of dip I missed the deadline by 2 minutes and my GM did not let me send in orders he NMR'd me. When was this extension request you sent to me? I never recieved it or I probably would have granted it. You can ALWAYS change your moves up until you receive the adjudication in your inbox. More then one player in this game sends me several sets of orders all the way up until the deadline. So when a new player joins the game you get EXTRA time to think about orders and talk to the new player. I thought replacing a player without delay was a good thing! I don't like to play a country in CD if I don't have to. Everyone signed up to play a 7 player game why not do so until countries are elimanted.
If you all want to cancel the game that's fine, or for the players who still would like to play I can find replacements. There are more then enough players on the website who would be willing to play.

Mods: If you have seen anything I have done wrong please let me know. I don't think I have.

As the GM I will follow with what you guys want to do - but I think this line ofdiscussion is ludicrous. To vote a solo to a player with SIX DOTS is nuts. SLor not, please don't let one players delusions sway you to an endgame that is farfrom assured. Yes, Michael has some points and they may even have some merit,but there is life in this game if you clowns would just get together it would be differentindeed.One player's view is just that, one player's view.

However, I think to do that in the Spring/Summerof 1902 is absolutely nuts. I have played this variant too and THIS GAME is FAR from beingdecided.

Hey all,

I have had a request to delay the game before the fall orders tonight, due to some recent difficulty with e-mail contact, and general difficulty in communications around this festive time of year.

I have agreed to this delay, which in the long run will set the game back only a couple of days. The new deadline for fall will be the 5th of January, instead of having winter due on that date.

Sorry to those of you that are anxiously waiting for the next turn. Hope this is okay with everyone. Feel free to let me know your thoughts.

Just a quick note to touch base. I have been travelling a lot lately and haven't been online much. Because of this I haven't given confirmations to many orders this week. I'll try to get to them all today...... sometime.

So the deadline is tonight, about 8 hours from now. I hope to be fairly prompt with it, so get your orders in BEFORE then if you can. Once I open my mail at, or after, the deadline, the inbox is CLOSED.

After this deadline I propose a break until the new year. Again I'm going to be travelling a lot, so contact will be spotty. Let me know your thoughts on this. I'm thinking around Monday the 5th for the next deadline after tonight.

Get 'em in!

Subject: DC 217, Update and deadline

.ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding:0px;} .ExternalClass body.EC_hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;} Hey everyone,

Just a quick note to touch base. I have been travelling a lot lately and haven't been online much. Because of this I haven't given confirmations to many orders this week. I'll try to get to them all today...... sometime.

So the deadline is tonight, about 8 hours from now. I hope to be fairly prompt with it, so get your orders in BEFORE then if you can. Once I open my mail at, or after, the deadline, the inbox is CLOSED.

After this deadline I propose a break until the new year. Again I'm going to be travelling a lot, so contact will be spotty. Let me know your thoughts on this. I'm thinking around Monday the 5th for the next deadline after tonight.

Get 'em in!

Warren

Subject: DC 217, spring/summer 1903
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 22:25:50 -0700

.ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding:0px;} .ExternalClass body.EC_hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;} After the spring turn we had one retreat due from Turkey. There was only one option, so I have assumed that it would be taken. Rachael, please let me know if you would rather retreat it OTB.

One more turn to go, and then we will take a bit of time off for the holiday season. I'm going to suggest we start up again on the 5th, probably with winter 1903 due on that day. I'm open to feedback of course.

For now, Fall 1903 is due on Monday, December 22, 22:00 MST.

Here is the spring and summer adjudication:
