UGHHHHHH. Okay. Lesson learned. I should have FORCED preliminaries before continuing. When will I learn? I thought that since everyone was sooo diligent with confirmations that preliminaries was a formality. Alas it may not be.

We are missing one set of orders. Officially that player has 24 hours to get me orders or the position goes out to recruiting. That player knows who they are [I have sent them multiple reminders which is very out of character for me].

If we do not have them by this time tomorrow night, I will be forced to recruit a new player. I normally would just NMR them but since it is a gamestart and all...

By the way, this is covered in the attached House Rules. Sorry for not having sent them before...now they seem quite important.

Sorry all. Hopefully just a minor blip and we begin!

Let's get started! Sorry for the delay from Friday. We are ready to go and our line-up is as follows:


Austria - Nick Netscher - nicknetscher(at)gmail.com
England - Jim Hoyes - jchdipaccount(at)gmail.com
France - Kent Welch - kentrwelch(at)gmail.com
Germany - Darryl Good - dipknight(at)gmail.com
Italy - Dave Wilkinson - fletch15(at)bellsouth.net
Russia - Ian Bond - iangb_2000(at)yahoo.co.uk
Turkey - Andy Waxtel - awaxtel(at)gmail.com


We have a player [Darryl] who will be out of town with limited email access [today through the 28th] so we are going to have a bit longer period until our first deadline. Let's set the deadline for Spring 1901 at Thursday Sept 3rd at 6pm CST.


I encourage provisionals so feel free to send them in ahead of time. I will always confirm orders so if for some reason you do not get a confirmation, check with me. It is probably good to also be in the habit of sending a copy to orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com just to be covered.


Attached is our file for the game and a map. The .dpy file is the Real Politik file if you want to play with it.


That should cover us. Please feel free to send in any questions.
