Heya folks,

You'll find the Summer 04 map attached, with my apologies for being such a slacker.  I had totally forgotten that I didn't get it out to you until a few players reminded me this morning.  What can I say?  Your GM is a lazy-ass...

Your GM is also a jerk as well.  Our friendly Gnome King sent in a retreat order a few hours after I issued the Summer 04 adjudication.  I've wrestled with the decision for the last couple days and unfortunately I have decided to let the adjudication stand.  While the retreat was received - it was received late and after the adjudication had already been published.  I did provide a warning as well as some extra time before running the turn.  My humble apologies, but I am sincerely hoping to get this game moving on the published deadlines and will make the effort to do so.

Which brings us neatly to the Fall 04 deadline reminder.  Unless an extension is asked for, orders will be due in roughly 18 hours.  I am still missing quite a few sets, so please get them on in.

And finally - advance warning that I will be seeking a replacement Hobbit.  Our current Baggins, Graham, will soon be launching into an adventure of his own - travelling on an expedition for Shark-Teeth and Yeti-Scalps.  This should not affect the Fall turn, but if our Hobbit friend owes you any money then NOW is the time to collect.  =)

Cheers everyone.  Talk to you all tomorrow night.
