Hi Christine,
thanks for GM'ing - I hope we will produce an interesting game for you.
Guys: most of you I haven't played with before, but I will be the very cuddly, completely friendly Russia.
I'm based in the uk, so most likely to respond between about 7 am gmt and 11 pm gmt, particularly in the evenings.
This is my fourth time in this tournie, and in the last two round 1 games I was eliminated both times, so I'm hoping to at least survive in this one.
cheers
Nigs

Hi,
I'm Christine, I've been involved with online Diplomacy for quite a few years. I've mostly retired from playing but still like to keep my hand in by GMing a game or two. Most of your names are new to me, I look forward to getting to know you all.
If you choose to scroll down to the bottom to read the player list,don't forget to come back at some point and read the official type stuff here at the beginning.
Deadlines will be 8 AM CST GMT -6 1400 GMT. I normally start adjudicating at the posted deadline.
A quick rundown of the tournament timing:
This is a fast paced game with short turn around. Spring deadlines will occur every Monday. Fall deadlines will occur every Thursday, 3 days later. Then 4 days roll around again to Monday.
Retreats and/or Builds will always be due the day after results are out. That is Tuesday for Summer Retreats and Friday Retreats, Builds & Disbands. Autumn Retreats will always be due at the same time as the Winter Adjustments.
There will be NO delays or extensions.
I may adjudicate early if all orders are received marked final ( this mainly applies to the adjustment phases).
While I try not to make mistakes, If at any time you find an error or dispute an adjudication you must contact me ASAP. If any turn passes and there is an error on the board, we play on - players have 24 hours from the posting of any adjudication to contest the adjudication.
Order Email Address:
My email is dawench(at)hotmail.com
I also supply secondary address dawench2(at)lycos.com You may use this address with every order set to help ensure I receive your orders.
The tournament has supplied a back up email address that it is important that you CC all orders to. orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com This not only helps ensure that your orders are received, but it also allows the Tournament committee to step in and adjudicate in case I am unable to. Last Year I had a family emergency that caused me to miss a deadline. Mike was able to step in and adjudicate because all the players CCd their orders to the back up address.
