Attached is the gamestart map and the gamestart .dpy file. Let's get this thing started with a deadline for Spring01 of next Thursday Sept 9th at 6pm CST.
Several things of note:
1. My House Rules are attached
2. I doubt it will be an issue with this group but this is a no replacement game. I will do my best to give reminders before deadlines and such but I will adjudicate NMR's
3. I almost always confirm order receipt BUT I rarely check them for validity so be careful
4. I will not interpret abbreviations etc. That will be tough for a slightly different board so make sure you use the abbreviation that RP uses (based on the map and the .dpy); an incorrect abbreviation or order will be interpreted as a MISORDER
5. If you aren't sure of the validity of a move, please email me and I will check it. Naturally I can't tell you if it will succeed, just if it is a valid option.
6. All of my deadlines are CST which is GMT -5 right now.
7. We will be breaking for approximately the second half of October. Your humble GM will be getting married at that time and will not be running adjudications (under penalty of death from my sweet soon-to-be wife).
I think that covers it. I am anxious to see how such a prestigious group of players gets along.
Oh...remember prelims...they are you friend.
All the best,
Garry
