News of the Game:
And the news is not good. Turkey failed to submit orders this season. This will be marked as an NMR. He is entitled to 1 build and if Turkey does not submit orders for the build he will be charged with a second NMR and I will begin looking for a replacement player.

Queen Victoria Dies

U.S. President William McKinley Assassinated (1901): On September 6, 1901, U.S. President William McKinley spent the morning visiting Niagara Falls with his wife. At 3:30 he began meeting fellow visitors who stood in line to greet him. A 4:07 he was shot by Leon Czolgosz. Shocked at being shot, President McKinley began to sag as blood stained his white shirt. He then told those around him, "Be careful how you tell my wife.” McKinley died two days later from complications and infection resulting from the gunshot wound.
