Greetings all. I look forward to a good game.
Sam, quick question. Are there nominations for awards? By players or from Tournament Committee members?
Thanks.

Hello Everyone! I'm Sam Buck, and I'm GMing Your Second Round Winter Blitz game. I'm a High School Student from New York City who started playing diplomacy almost exactly a year ago and Joined Diplomaticcorp soon after. Throughout my first round game, I was constantly making errors and mistakes in my adjudications due to my hectic schedule, but don't worry, I don't have anything that should interfere with this round. I've assigned you countries randomly, and adjusted the assignments slightly so no one had the same country two times in a row or no one had two large countries or two small countries. Basically, These assignments should make the tournament rather balanced. Before I tell you them, however, I do need to go through several more things. First, I think it prudent to remind everyone about our two awards: Best Press and Best Stab. You don't have to win the tournament to get an award, just be creative or deceptive! It's that easy! Also, you should all know that our first deadline, for spring 1901 is, Drumroll Please, Monday, March 30th, 2008, at 5:00 PM ET. If you have any other questions,feel free to contact me, and I'll be happy to answer them, but for now, I'll leave you with these:
