Players -

I have heard from the missing party. Yes, he is traveling and missed the earlier messages. He might be able to get orders in today, but more likely tomorrow (Friday). So for now everybody can just relax and think about all the dastardly openings your neighbors have devised to screw with you. Smile

Besides, it's Thursday. Blitz Day. I wish better luck to you than I'm having right now; stabbed by Russia and looking at minus 3 this year. Ouch!

Hi Players,

I'm sorry to say it looks like we're not going to be able to start tonight. I have only six sets of orders. I have not heard from the seventh player since he turned in preferences yesterday morning.

It so happens that I have known this person for many years and I know him to be EXTREMELY reliable. His DC record backs that up. Therefore, I have to believe that he has just been away from his computer since yesterday or there has been some other kind of unavoidable glitch. Since I didn't give any advance warning that I would be setting an early deadline, I don't think I can penalize him for not having them in tonight. You'll recall that I originally emailed each of you and said that deadlines would be Tues/Fri. I can't blame him if he proceeded on that assumption.

If I should get his orders within
the next hour, I will adjudicate tonight. If not, it will be at least 24 hours until I can get them out. As soon as I have them, I'll let everyone know and tell you when I'll be adjudicating.

Thanks to everyone who did hurry to get their orders in by tonight. If you have had a change of heart, feel free to submit changes.

On a different note, I am really sorry I said anything about North Sea. It appears I caused confusion instead of removing it. The rules of Stab! are very simple:

NO COUNTRY OWNS ANY SEA SPACES. YOU CANNOT START WITH A FLEET IN A SEA SPACE. FLEETS CAN BE PLACED IN COASTAL SPACES ONLY.

Got it? Great.
