Hello, everyone, your humble GM has arrived to announce that our game is starting! Our Winter Blitz Round 2 game has been designated as dc-246.
For those who don't know me yet, my name is Cory Burris, and I have been a member of DC for nearly 3 years. Most of my Diplomacy activity recently has been limited to GM duties, as the task of locating billions of dollars for a cratering state budget has taken up a fair amount of my time in recent months. I have the (mis)fortune of working in the budget office of the Governor of Illinois, who took office just two months ago after our previous Governor was impeached and removed from office! No, I am not related to our state's junior US Senator, who was appointed by that former Governor before he was sent packing.
The player roster and e-mail addresses, as well as the country assignments, appear below. Please feel free to introduce yourselves to everyone.
Since this is a tournament game, there is a common set of rules and season deadlines that all GMs are observing. This can be found at orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com ([email]orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com[/email]) -- this is for your protection in case your e-mail doesn't get through to me, or if I am not available and need a substitute GM to run a turn.
Don't forget to check out the game's page on the DC web site at
www.diplomaticcorp.com/?game_id=dc246 -- I will update it after each adjudication. I will also e-mail each adjudication to everyone, as well as a .dpy game file for use in the Realpolitik adjudication software.
Also, keep in mind that there are $25 cash prizes for the winners of the Best Stab and Best Press awards, to be voted on after the conclusion of the tournament.
The spring 1901 deadline is
Monday, April 6 at 3pm Central (US) / 20:00 GMT. FYI, I usually don't have Internet access on weekends, so those of you who send me spring season orders over a weekend should expect to see my acknowledgement e-mail on Monday morning. Happy stabbing!
Cory
