GM’s remarks:
Ok, people . . . a few issues to go over here. First, some of us are getting complacent about changing the Subject line of the email. When you reply to my previous messages without changing the Subject line it makes finding your orders later difficult. So, please take a moment longer when replying to one of my previous messages to change the Subject line . . . please.
Second, a couple of you are going to find you accidentally sent in illegal orders. Again, I encourage you to look at your orders once again after I have sent you my “received” return mail to avoid these errors. Or, perhaps the error was that you did not have an updated map to work from. The DiplomaticCorp site will always have the most recent map available if you want to check there once in a while.
And last but not least, I am not your baby sitter. I trust that all of you are old enough to be out on your own. I will often allow last minute extensions for no more that 24 to 48 hours (and sometimes provide my own excuses to cover a 24 hour delay). But, it is your responsibility to get me your orders or the request for an extension on time or you will end up with all of your units holding with a No-Moves-Received (NMR). I will only allow two NMR’s per player before I replace you . . . no questions asked.
I hate being a total ass . . . but if that is what it is going to take . . . trust me, I can be an ass.
I would like to have the Russian retreat as soon as possible. If I hear nothing from Joe before Wednesday (11/25), I will assume the position has been abandoned and begin seeking a replacement player.
