Hi everyone,


 


Apologies for the late adjudication of the game this season. I had a minor emergency to deal with last night, so thanks for your patience.


 


Unfortunately we've two NMRs this season, despite several reminders sent to the players concerned asking them to submit their moves. So, we need to wave 'goodbye' to one player - thanks for playing Vinnie - and I'll search for a replacement to take over Vinnie's role.


 


In the meantime, we've one retreat needed from England, so Luke - please let me know what you'd like to do with your NTH fleet as soon as possible. The deadline for this retreat ought to be 2000GMT tonight, but given my lateness in adjudicating this move I'll stretch this to 0800GMT tomorrow (Tuesday 31 May). Having said this, if you can let me know your retreat sooner, I'll adjudicate as soon as possible.


 


I'm going to begin the search for a new Turkey now. Once a new Turkey is appointed, I'll give an extended deadline to you all to allow Diplomacy with the new player, and give him/her a chance to get to know you all. If I can appoint a new Turkey before Sunday 5 June, the deadline for Autumn 03 moves will be Sunday 13 June 2000GMT.
