I'm in agreement that a NVR should not stall a draw vote.  If they've checked out to the point of not supplying moves or votes, its unlikely they really care one way or the other.

>>We had 2 missing orders, surprisingly one was a BUILD. Oh, Undead, you worked so hard to survive. Guys, just in case..   The last draw proposal failed only because of the gnomes not casting their ballot. Should we have NVR's again (no vote received), I plead to make our decision on the base of registered votes only - and not count an NVR as a "NO".Whoever is against a draw should at least be as much involved in this game as to vote. He who doesn't even care to vote should not hinder us who still play to decide as we please. Opinions ? Rolf  Von: Mike Hoffman [mailto:mrh(at)panix.com]

Betreff: DC406: Winter 11 FINAL!!! Hi All,And so we move into a new year, the 12th of this game. Such an odd age -- almost old enough to be a man, yet young enough to still chase the ice cream man. Who will be left standing tall at the end of the year? Who will drop their ice cream cone? Don't even think about picking it up, Momma is watching.Now off you go to Google to figure out that reference. In the meantime, We have 3 draw proposals to consider:
1)Dwarves solo win the rest survivor status
2)Ogres, Undead,  the rest survivor status
3) Ogres, Dwarves, Knights, the rest survivor status. Vote along with your Spring moves. The Deadline for Spring 11 is Monday, October 1st (at) 5pm MST. We had 2 missing orders, surprisingly one was a BUILD. Oh, Undead, you worked so hard to survive. Adjustments for Winter 11:=======================Archers: Remove A Westmark Dwarves: Build F The JulianthesBuild F Mount NimroBuild A Myth DrannorBuild A Spirit PondBuild A Diamond Mines Faeries: Remove A VinyayaRemove A Acme AcresRemove F Strawberry FieldsRemove F CHOCOLATE RIVERRemove F Ranaar Knights: Build A Grimpen WardBuild A TelmarBuild F ArborlonBuild waivedBuild waivedBuild waived Leprechauns: Remove F MyrtleRemove F Ithin'Carthia(wc)Remove A Uuno Nomads: Build waived Ogres: Build F LankhmarBuild F HorborixenBuild A Devils CanyonBuild A KrikkitBuild waivedBuild waivedBuild waived Pirates: Remove A GrendelRemove F HORNED BAYRemove F MERMAIDS LAGOONRemove F BABEL BEACHRemove A Plains of Dust Undead: Build waived  Thanks,Mike
