Far as I can tell, Charles went NMR in his own game.
Does that mean he's automatically out and we need to search for a replacement GM?

Given that I am traveling there is the possibility that I missed some emails - specifically, confirmation of receipt of my submitted retreats and a posting of the updated map showing retreats. Given that the next set of preliminary moves were due earlier today, I can only wonder what happened and what fate will befall me if I fail to submit moves on time.
Can someone (Charles or otherwise) bring me up to speed please? Or, should I just chuck it in and call it quits before I get bounced out of the game for missing a deadline?

Hallo zusammen,
those Dutch rebels have once again bested a Latin powerhouse! Anything in
their water that gives 'em an uncanny gift in dealing romance-speaking nations
humiliating defeats...? Meanwhile, tragic news has reached us from the fabled
Gold Coast. Apparently not all is yet lost for Latin powers!
Closer to home, there's also a good deal to report! The long-time entente
between the Porte and Warsaw appears to have fully broken down judging by the
troop movements in Eastern Europe. In Italy Habsburg power appears to be on the
wane as the Bourbons regained Savoy, while the Turks have fought there way into
the lagoon city and its hinterlands. As for the British Isles, the royalist
cause has recovered from recent setbacks and now all key objectives on the
British mainland are in the hands of young Charles's adherents.
As for peace talks going on in Münster and Osnabrück, a recent proposal to
grant the Sultan outright hegemony over the continent has failed. The same
proposal (i.e. conceding the game to Turkey) has been once again put forward and
again awaits your votes.
I've scheduled the Summer 1661 Retreats
for Monday, 5 July 6 PM CET and adjusted the coming schedule as I hope suits
everyone best. If not, let me know and I'll adjust.
Now, lets see those valiant young German Landsknechts teach those
temperamental Gauchos a lesson! No "Hands of God" please. We've had enough of
that from those South Americans yesterday!
Charles
