To clarify about my no retreat diplomacy rule:
There is to be NO, I repeat NO contact with other players individually during retreat phases. The only communication allowed is public messages which all can see, and even then, they can not include direct requests including the retreat. If your message is meant as a joke, I don't care. send it to evreyone or not at all. The punishment for violating this rule is one NMR credit, and remember, you only have two. If anyone recives a message from anyone, please tell me. They are breaking the rules and I need to know.
