My mind has been swayed (mostly by that pistol pointed at my head :-p), and I'll be voting for the ET.  I think I was the one holding the game up, so hopefully this turn will be the last and we'll have a few days rest before round 2 comes.

Subject: dc408 winter 1909 adjustments



I could not locate orders from England or Russia.  England thus banks his 3 builds, while Russia is auto-removed from Silesia per Blitz tournament rules.  Germany and Italy scuttle their last remaining fleets.



Spring 1910 orders will be due Monday 3/26 at 3pm Central (US) / 20:00 GMT.  Note that British Summer Time will take effect this weekend, putting the UK 1 hour ahead of the unchanged GMT.  I think I have finally figured out the difference between European Summer Time and US/Canadian Daylight Saving Time.



Along with your orders, please cast your vote on a 2-way England/Turkey endgame proposal.  Thanks!



Cory

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."

"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
