Folks of Imperial Bent,

With regrets, I've had to seek out a replacement for our Emperor of the Rising Sun. Please welcome Paolo Sforza, who has been good enough, (or crazy enough,) to come join our rowdy little party. He will be stepping in as Japan to help us play this game out.

While I already do have prelims in from Paolo, I'd like to reset the Spring 1873 clock and give him some time to communicate with you savages. Please note that he will be travelling for the next couple days and will only return on Tuesday. Revised deadline for Spring 1873 orders will be set for Friday, May 30th (11:59 PM GMT).

My thanks to Bret for carrying the Japanese torch as long as he did.

In other news, a French/Dutch draw proposal has surfaced. Please, even if you do not change the orders I have on file for you, let me know your yay or nay vote to this proposal by the Friday deadline.

Cheers everyone. Thanks once again for the patience.
