Hey folks,
I've been trying feverishly all week to get a message thru to our temp Philippines leader Paul... and as you may have noticed, they're all bouncing! So the last I heard from him was the mail in which he accepted the post, and then he was not able to receive the adjudication from last turn or anything, and I've tried to mail him daily. Seeing as this is beyond the scope of the temp position, and it wouldnt be fair to Greg to put his country in NMR for the turn, when I cant get an adjudication out to Paul, (the temp assigned by me) we have to hold till either Paul is able to receive messages (including the winter results) or till Greg returns. Hate to do it but I'll have to keep you posted as we go along!

Most popular New Years resolution for Diplomacy players? “Try to stab less”…

Temporary fill-in! Let’s all welcome Paul to the game, running the show for the Philippines for January. Greg will be back after that, or whenever he returns from his fun-filled vacation far from any computers. Paul can be reached at bridgejunky-at-ukonline-dot-co-dot-uk ([email]bridgejunky(at)ukonline.co.uk[/email]).

NEXT: Spring 10, due Friday 1/9, 10am Pacific!
Enjoy,
