Hi guys,

I'm happy to announce Gabriele Parachini as our new Swedish player. Now the Old World gets a little more representation. Please give him a warm welcome!

Now, as for deadlines, in keeping with our Wednesday/Friday schedule, I'll schedule Winter for 5 February. Though should I receive a full set of orders without any express statement that I wait until Friday, I'll adjucate at an earlier date.

I hope we'll all get back into the swing of things before too long and apologise for the overly long hiatus.

Liebe Grüsse,

Charles
