Re: ACD236/DC288: Balkans1860 Spring 1867: Tirana




Look guys I think there is no question that unless there is dissention among BRS, we will overrun the boot in time.  It's nothing against Nigs, but I vote no to such a 4-way.  Nigs even publicly stated that he sees the writing and is willing to concede, and so I think we can get better.  I'll vote yes to a 3-way, but that's already shot down, so with fall orders let's repropose the 3-way for spring when there's only 5 powers voting.  Normally I would not even jump at a 3-way here.  But Nigs has some personal stuff to tend to, so I think it's decent to simply accept someone's offer if they offer to concede.

Okay - so the retreat is official, and Thursday, June 3rd 1700 EST
will be the deadline for Fall 1867.  Please include all votes on a
BRSG draw at that time.

Thanks -
