The groovy seer of the stars, the Magic 8-Ball, when asked about Winter 2001: "My Sources Say No."

However, my sources say yes. Yes to all the build requests. Armies and fleets spring up around the board, and though the distribution seems oddly tilted to the Atlantic coast, the crowds on the Pacific beaches still seem quite large.

Which brings us to our Cuban problem. As Felix's father has just passed, he has been required to withdraw from the game. I'd like to set a tentative Spring 2002 deadline for Thursday, January 3rd (11:59 PM GMT). We already have a line on a possible replacement, so this might be very doable. However, keep in mind that it may get pushed back if necessary to give any replacement time to meet and greet all of you.. =P

And, of course, please don't forget about the Winter Blitz which is still taking on new players. This fast-paced tournament, DC's very own, should blow your socks off. Do yourself a favour and check out the info on the web-page < www.diplomaticcorp.com>

Cheers folks!
