Hi All,During my 80-mile bike ride yesterday (fundraiser for Diabetes), I found myself nearing exhaustion and my thoughts drifting wildly. Many of my Dipl games into mind and I found myself strategizing with myself, using maps stored in my memory and having pseudo-conversations with my fellow players. I seriously needed Water and Food!
All in all, it was a fun ride through some beautiful countryside and 2 mountain canyons! Wow!
We now say goodbye to the Archers and the Nomads. A well-fought game, but at least one had accepted their fate a year ago. Congrats Max & Garry, see you next game.

DEADLINE FOR RETREATS is Tuesday 8/21 at 5PM. 
2 Retreats are necessary, and one auto-disband.Magicians: A Grendel -> Imm, or OTBLeprechauns: A Lubrick -> Mer, Fitz, or OTB

Nomads: A Kingdom of Hearts - Paras Derval (*Disbanded*)
We are now facing a LONG hiatus.  One player will be out of town until the end of the month, with very spotty access. I will process deadlines until the vacationing player is affected. I will be on a Caribbean island from 9/1 -> 9/9, with little or no access. People, *this* is the way Vacations SHOULD be! Disconnect, log off, unwind, and de-stress.
