Hello everyone,
I just wanted to say that I am very excited about playing this game. This map is one of my personal favorites (I am a classics major), and it looks like we have an awesome line-up here. I have been busy finishing my finals, and so have yet to extend personal welcome notes to everyone. I will have a lot more time later this week after I finish writing a paper for Greek history (I'll sell info on the background history if you give me centers. We can work out the details...) Hope everyone is doing well, and good luck!

- Greg

Welcome everyone.
We're about to start another Pericles game. The third on DC. And a look at the player list shows it will be a very interesting one.
The powers were assigned used a proven and totally random method (with the help of one of my daughters):

After this brief introduction let me introduce myself. Name is Frank, bielf11 on DC, from The Netherlands.Some of you will know me from games I have played or GMed.On DC I have GMed several games from STD to oddities like Viking with Scorched Earth rules.

This is however my first go at Pericles.
I will schedule one major season (Spring, Fall) per week. Typically at the same day and time each week.Minor seasons and Winter adjustments usually will be due 48 hrs after adjudication.

I'll always try to send out the adjudication within a few hours after the deadline. I'm pretty strict with the deadlines but everyone's entitled to 2 grace periods.Once these are used any failures to submit orders before the deadline will be regarded as NMRs/NRRs/NBRs etc.

Now if anyone expects to have a problem making the deadline and you let me know before that turn starts, it won't count towards your grace periods.You can also ask me to extend the deadline beyond the regular periods, but again, I need to know before the turn starts.

Also, I will send out reminders approx. 24 hrs before the deadline.
Please start the subject line of your messages with DC327; it helps me distinguish between messages from various games and speedup the adjudication.

Any order I receive I will confirm with a message saying so. If you haven't received my confirmation, assume I haven't received your message.My adjudications include GIF files with the orders and results, as well as a RealPolitik file (for those that use RP). 

I really welcome White and Gray Press to spice up the game; Black Press is strictly forbidden.
The deadline for the first Spring is Monday 24 May at 8pm GMT+1 (AMS time).


For those not familiar with Pericles now is the time to read about the Terrain Oddities in the Dipwiki.
Good luck and happy gaming

  Frank
