Well guys, as of this past week we are officially the longest running active game on DC. Don't know if that's something to be proud of, but there we have it. Congrats on making it this far (with only the two NMRs, as well). I've been really happy with all of you and I don't recall waiting more than 24 hours after a deadline. Well done so far.
That being said, it appears we may be nearing an end. On the table, we have a proposal for a 4-way draw between Mexico, Persia, Russia and South America. I will remind everyone that for the proposal to pass, all eight remaining players must vote for it. See below for more details.
Now the moves. There's a whole lot of bouncing going on and some very curious circumstances in Europe that has at least me scratching my head. I look forward to seeing how it pans out (should the game survive the draw proposal). On to the moves, then:
