No reminders? No problem! I am happy to report that all players have submitted orders in spite of me not reminding anybody. You are adapting well to the pace of the Blitz.

David, you are officially absolved of all responsibilities in this game henceforth and forever more. Amen. Even should you retain your center, you will have no little red blocks to move about, as I have had to confiscate yours. On the plus side, it's just the right size for shimming that wobbly leg on the table... Thank you for being reliable as long as you have lasted. That's one thing about the Blitz: if you do well, you've earned it; if you do poorly, it may very well not be your fault. Go shellac somebody with holy wrath in the second round.

Elsewhere... um... stuff happened. Like the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, it's too complex and subtle for me to figure out. I'm sure some of it was planned and some of it was treacherous. Ah, sweet treachery.
