I'm so jealous of people that design games for a living... I KNOW (on an intellectual level) that it's not as "fun" as it sounds... but c'mon!! I look at spreadsheets all day... the closest I've come to fun is building tetris in excel while I was bored for 6 hours in an airport (for the record, anyone who complains about "poor collision detection" in video games hasn't tried to cobble together collision detection from excel borders
I say good on you Dirk!

Hi All,Retreats have been processed, and the map and move results from Spring corrected to accomodate Spi S Drag. Maps for Spring are included, as are maps for Final.
Several Draw proposals this turn.
Proposal 1: Ogre Solo
Proposal 2: Ogre, Undead, Dwarf Draw
Proposal 3: Ogre, Dwarf, Knight Draw
If you voted publicly already, THOSE VOTES DO NOT COUNT. All votes MUST be sent to me privately.
Send in votes with Fall moves. If I receive 100% YES votes for a proposal, I will end the game without processing.
Fall Deadline is Wednesday 9/19 (I'd do Thursday, but that's my anniversary and the wife has priority over Dip
)
