We're all set for war. Welcome everyone!

 

Our first deadline (Spring 1901) will be on October 28, 17:00 MDT, 23:00 GMT.

 

First a couple of notes about rules, deadlines etc.

 

I follow the DC house rules for running the game. Please familiarize yourself with them. A couple of key points:

 

No default builds or retreats. If you don't send retreat orders your units will be disbanded. If you don't send build orders you don't get any. Default disbands will of course apply.
Deadlines won't fall on Saturday or Sunday. Generally I give a full week for a major turn (spring/fall), at least 24 hours for a summer or autumn retreat phase, and an additional 24 hours after autumn for winter adjustments. If there is no autumn retreat phase necessary I'll give 48 hours between fall and winter.
Deadlines will be set for each season, and I will adjudicate at any point AFTER that deadline. You can change your orders as many times as you like right up to the point that I start to adjudicate.
PLEASE put the game number (DC 347), your country, and the season in the SUBJECT line of your emails to me. It just makes it way easier on me to keep things organised.
Give me some notice if you are going to be away. I have no problem putting the game on hold within reason.
In 1901 I will not adjudicate a turn if there is an nmr. A replacement will be sought for the offending ruler immediately and the turn will be re-played, including time for diplomacy with the replacement.
 

Okay, I think that's enough. Here is the moment you're all waiting anxiously for (yah, like you didn't skip down here already and ignore everything I wrote above....)

There you have it. I hope you all got the country you were hoping for, and if not, well....too bad I guess.

 

I will make the first deadline next week. Thursday October 28, 17:00 Mountain Daylight Time. I believe that is still 23:00 GMT. I have attached a .gif and a .dpy file of the opening positions, although you've all seen it before. I will do this for every adjudication. I will also update the DC site promptly so you can always get maps etc from there.

 

What am I forgetting? Well let me know. Don't hesitate to ask general questions. I of course won't comment on anything to do with this game.

 

Have fun.
