Hi everyone,
Although the deadline for the Winter 04 builds and disbands has now passed, I'm going to give 24 hours grace since there are two players from whom I've not received their build/disband instructions. I think an auto-adjudicate might affect the game unfairly at this point, compared to the inconvenience of waiting 24 hours to get the Spring 05 negotiations underway, so I'm willing to give 24 hours to see if this can be unnecessary.
Therefore, I'm going to extend the Winter 04 deadline to 2000GMT tomorrow (Wednesday 29 June), and also send emails to the affected players asking them to submit their orders. I will adjudicate either once both players have responded, or at 2000GMT tomorrow, whichever comes first. I will definitely
auto-adjudicate at this point if necessary, in line with the DC house rules. In the meantime, if any player that has submitted their builds chooses to do so, they can submit new build orders anytime up to the adjudication.
I'll delay the Spring 1905 moves deadline by 24 hours to 2000GMT Monday 4 July, and if there are any retreats from Spring 05, these will be due for 2000GMT Tuesday 5 July.
Stay cool,
Jerome
