Hey again Blitzers,

Two years have come and gone and it seems like we just got started. We did! Things are moving right along. We had a couple bumps in the road getting all the games going together but everything is now on track, stats are up to date, and games are cruising.

A bit of an important advisory, some players are still not copying the orders mailbox, orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com. This is leading to NMRs as Garry or I cover a turn. With 4 turns per week across 9 games, it is very likely that we will get called to duty on a somewhat regular basis - so remember to copy that orders box on every submission! Turns are not backed up even in the case where you sent orders to your GM, if they were not also copied to orders.

Standings!

So far it’s a pretty close match all around. 16 players have 6 or more supply centers, and only two have managed a better start at 7 and 9 sc. As for average country performances, it’s a dead heat - the best country (Russia) is averaging 4.54 points, and the worst (Austria) is averaging 4.38 points. A spread of a mere 0.16! This suggests Russians are ahead of Austrians by on average 1.6 supply centers. As players start to get eliminated, we’ll see the standings diverge a bit more.
