Hi All,As some of you know, I coach High School debate. This year, there has been a lot of focus on US wars with nations around the globe, and each one jockeying for position in Space. Analysis of the situations is researched, discussed, dissected, and re-spun to form their arguments. What strikes me funny, year in and year out, is how opposing sides end up quoting the same source material. Does anyone in politics or science ever take a specific stand and stick to it?

And so another year of intrigue and deceit starts in the Haven. I have reports from many of you, diaries in a way, and constantly draw the similarities between the Haven intrigues and those in Real Life. You all say things and then reverse course; make predictions, and then insure they come true (or purposely block them!); but, year in and year out, your tunes all change. It's quite fun being a GM!

And then there are those pessimists out there who count themselves dead and buried, yet seem to have new friends popping up!  See, in the Haven, you can never tell which side Lady Fortune is helping each turn. She's as fickle as the rest of y'all.

So, thank you for the entertainment!   And this year, thank you for getting the moves in on time and keeping the game rolling!That being said, we will have a vacation break from 3/30 -> 4/7.  
Fall 04 Move Deadline will be Tuesday 4/10.  (Monday 4/9 is Rockies Opening Day, and I'll be a little too 'celebratory' to handle processing moves).
One army was dislodged and attempted to swim to safety, but the raging waters and ravaging pirates (not to mention sharks and such) got the better of them and all were drowned.
