GM’s remarks:
 
A few issues for you; fist, remember that I am on the road next week.  I do not expect any problems with this, but please ensure that you “cc” your orders to orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com ([email]orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com[/email]) for your own protection.
 
Second, if you live in the US, this weekend is the weekend we Spring Ahead to Daylight Savings time.  This will change the Deadline for you.  Please ensure you understand how this will affect you.
 
And lastly, Congratulations to those of you still in the game for making it to year 10 in Winter Blitz 2010!  If you have not already done so, you will need to confirm your participation in Round 2 before next Friday (3/19/2010).  Best of luck in Round 2!
