GM’s remarks:
I have two issues of concern; one minor, one major. First, of minor concern, some of you are simply hitting reply to my last message to you in order to send me your orders. This is, strictly, not by the House Rules. I have not penalized any one for this. However, if I can’t find your orders, I will NMR you. Is it really that hard to change the subject of the email, after you have hit reply, to include the Game Number, your Country, and the Game year per the House Rules?
Second, of major concern, all orders shall be a complete set of orders. I will not chase piece-meal orders through several emails later in the game when some of you will have 8, 10, 12, or more units. Therefore, at least one of you will find that your partial set of orders changing the orders for one or more units was not accepted. Whether this turned out to be a boon or a detriment, only time will tell; however, no partial set of orders will be accepted, per the House Rules.
If you have not already taken a moment to read the House Rules, please do so. If you no longer have a copy of them, I will be only too happy to send you another copy. Thanks.

If Dan is able to get me his build orders prior to his departure for vacation, I will post the Build/Disband results on Monday. Otherwise, I will post a new Deadline on Monday which will be after Dan returns from vacation. Please keep everyone informed if you are going to be unavailable due to travel or other commitments. This will give me the ability to set appropriate deadlines so that you do not receive an NMR. We all understand that everyone has lives outside of Diplomacy.
If there are any errors in the results, please make me aware of them ASAP. Per the House rules, any errors that are carried into the next season are irreversible. Map of the moves, map of the results, and the dpy file are attached for your use.
Best of luck in the next season,
Darryl (GM)
