Hey all,
Sam has notified me that he has to take some time off from Diplomacy...
 
So I'll be covering this game for the remainder!  Someone send me the current RP file please... and moves... well, I'm not quite sure which turn we're on but I'll see that just as soon as I have the RP file.  Then moves are due (for whichever turn we're in) Wed 10/6, 3pm Central!  Since ppl said in the public strings that they'd accept a draw only cuz of the game being in limbo, I don't consider that reason enough to call the game.  So we have 4 players here, moves due Wed!  If you all want a draw, someone can propose it this turn, and vote on it next turn just like normal draw proposals.
 
Note, this game will move along.  If you're used to having "bonus time" or whatever after each turn and turn in late, you'll probly find your units sitting around while everyone else is moving!  Note:  my house rules (now attached to the game) are now what govern any future decisions.  The excuse of "Hey, NMR's werent enforced for the first half of this game so they shouldn't be now" will not be accepted if you NMR!  Perhaps... "My dog ate my computer" or "I was kidnapped by an alien taken to their home world and left my Earth-communicator at home" will do better... but don't count on it. 
 
Enjoy!
