In general, my adjudications begin with a pithy, often inane and superfluous commentary. If there is any bias in the 'advice' that I give to players, it's that we need more treachery and more bloodshed. Always treachery and bloodshed (which is in striking contrast to my preferred style as a player...). After the inane commentary, I announce the next deadline. And finally, I include orders as adjudicated. Attached to each adjudication, you *should* find the current map (DC 420 current.gif), a .gif of the orders, and a .dpy file (RealPolitik file).
If I have made any mistakes, you have 24 hours to bring them to my attention, or else the mistakes stand.
So... it's Spring 1901. And I like what I see. It is clear to me that there is a metaphorical plate of cookies sitting in the middle of the table, and you gents playing are for the entire lot. We already have units in uncomfortable places (English Channel and Tyrolia) plus Russia has sent an army into St. Petersburg. I can only hope that Fall 1901 follows up with orders that are equally as tantalizing as the Spring (i.e. let's have some treachery and some bloodshed).
Fall 1901 will be due on Thursday at 14:00 CST.
Note for Winter 1901: I will be traveling, so either Garry or Mike (the Moderators) will adjudicate builds. You'll have to make sure to send your Winter 1901 orders to orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com.
