Dirk,

I won't push up the deadline unless everyone confirms that they're okay with this.
This way we prevent that someone is not around to confirm or submit orders before the original deadline.
Public votes are okay; secret votes of course too. After all, this is Diplomacy.

[quote:d05c2e99ce]And if there is a secret no vote, Frank, can we possibly push up the fall adjudication? IF everyone gets their orders in can we just finish this?

Thanks,

Dirk

I've been voting yes as well. Actually, for selfish reasons (to easily join another game) I need this game to finish first! So I've been voting yes... Russia votes "Yes" again.

Hey Bruce,

I agree this is the most logical explanation but I've talked to Sun a fair amount in direct press and am pretty convinced he is NOT the one delaying it. That is the source of my frustration, I think it is happening either out of apathy or maybe somebody is just spiteful and trying to prove a point. I'm not sure. As has been pretty clearly illustrated, Russia WILL have the solo at the end of this year.

I suspect that Sun - Russia - wants to achieve victory rather than have it handed to him, which is fine. I will once again vote for EPG. All of French forces will be holding in an attempt to bring peace to Europe and in recognition of the fine display of Russian arms and diplomacy.

Yes but it doesn't matter a damn what we all say publicly it just takes one to screw it up behind the scenes.

Nwy, Swe, Den= 3

Ber, Kie, Mun= 3

I believe that Russia has attained the ability to attain the 18 > centers needed to win outright.

The Russian Solo EGP was rejected.
