Folks,
I'd like to welcome you all to the game. I've got
seven confirmed sets of country preferences, and now
seven assigned countries. I've listed country
assignments below, and attached my house rules. Since
they're not exactly the same as DC's standard rules,
I'd suggest getting to know them.
I hope everybody is satisfied with the assignments
they've been given. I'm fairly certain you all got
either your first preference or your second.

The Deadline:

Spring 1901 is due Friday, 23 May at 2pm CST/CDT (7pm
GMT.) This should be plenty of time to get your Game
Start negotiation done.


If anyone has a vacation, holiday, broken toilet,
amputated limb, etc. that will cause a delay or may
take you away from your email for any period of time,
please let me know as soon in advance as possible. I
keep a very pretty table of deadlines (for *all* my
games) open on my computer at all times, and I can add
in any scheduled absences I'm informed of. This makes
it very easy to plan game turns around people's
personal lives, so please don't ever NMR with the
excuse that I made it too difficult for you to meet a
deadline.


I've recently discovered that RealWorld (an improved
version of RealPolitik) can handle a substantial
amount of variants - many more than RP. Because of
this, I have begun to use RW exclusively. Therefore, I
will provide, with every adjudication, a .dpy (RP)
file AND a .dpw (RW) file, as well as a JPEG file. I
intent to use the output from the 'Save Status' option
in RW in the adjudication - you'll all see what that
looks like with the first turn's results. It's easy to
read and gives all the information a player could want
about his moves and position as well as those of his
boardmates.
However, if anyone, for any reason, is unsatisfied
with the appearance of the adjudication (again, you'll
have to wait until the first one comes out to see,)
feel free to let me know at any time, and I can fall
back on a trusty old system that looks pretty (but is
more time consuming.)
Again, any questions at any time are welcome, and
will receive a prompt response. I look forward to
running this game for you. As I've said many times in
the past, this is not my game, I'm just facilitating
it for you. You, the players, own this game. Make it
what you want it to be.

Thanks all,
The White Wolf
