Sorry everyone,
I've been slacking lately with adjudicating, but I'll get back on track for this spring. The Italians got their missing order into me on time, so Alex will be without a grace period from here on out along with Kyle and Justin. Make sure you get orders in on time everyone, and I highly recommend preliminary orders. Just a suggestion. Here are the adjustments:
ORDERS:
France:
Build A Paris
Italy:
Build F Naples
Russia:
Remove F St Petersburg(nc)
Turkey:
Build F Smyrna
DEADLINE:
The spring 1903 deadline will be set for ***Friday, March 26th, 9:00pm EST*** This gives you a whole week to negotiate and get orders in, so don't waste any time.

DATELINE SWITZERLAND, Late December, 1902
Players, let's get back to DipJeopardy...
Bobbarkerfan: "We still have 2 categories... "Bodies of Water," and "Liars & Cheats."
Bobbarkerfan: "Maslow, feeling pretty frisky, I see, now that you have that new shiny fleet...you were our last correct questioner, select"
Maslow: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $100,"
Bobbarkerfan: "Shoulda bumped.'"
:::Justin buzzes in:: "What is Black Sea?"
Bobbarkerfan: "Yes!! Select."
Justin: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $200, bobbarkerfan."
Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is 'Shouldn'ta bumped.'"
:::Justin buzzes in::: "What is Barents Sea?"
Bobbarkerfan: "You're on a roll...just like Panzer forces through Poland on a sunny day. Continue."
Justin: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $300."
Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is...'Head west, young man.'"
:::Kyle buzzes in::: "Ooo, Ooo, I know this one...what is the Northern Atlantic?"
Bobbarkerfan: "Not what we were looking for..."
:::Maslow buzzes in::: "Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue?"
Bobbarkerfan: "Uh, no."
:::Matthew buzzes in::: "What I want ALL of the people west of me to do? By the way, let me comment on the army currently inserted sideways in Munich. I don't know who dreamed up that little maneuver, but but I'll get you sucka, if it's the last thing I ever, ever do. I'm not ready to make any accusations, but several packages of incriminating strudel were found on the Tyrolian border. Coincidence? I think not. Before retreating, a German bomb squad was called to deal with the packages. They determined that the best way to diffuse the suspected explosives were to eat them. Reports are coming in that, 'They were very tasty.'"
Bobbarkerfan: "OK....Matthew...speaking of sniffing glue, select..."
Matthew: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $400."
Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is, 'Oh what a tangled web we weave.'"
:::Ross buzzes in::: "What recent 'explanations' from the English seem to amount to regarding that pesky fleet of his in the English Channel?"
Bobbarkerfan: "Very insightful...would you like to finish off the category?"
Ross: "'Bodies of Water' for $500..."
Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is, 'And for my next trick, let me part the seas."
:::Michael buzzes in::: "What is the first step in the Italian's plans to circumnavigate the globe and take up a position to my east in the Dead Sea?"
Bobbarkerfan: "Let's take a break...and remember players, we are actively soliciting suggestions for categories in the upcoming Double DipJeopardy round where the stakes are even higher. Unsolicited suggestions so far include, "The Wit and Wisdom of Maslow," "Stuck in Finland," and "If Man were Meant to Fly."

DATELINE: VIENNA, Christmas Eve, 1902
Dear Santa,
I know it is the last minute, but I thought I would write and send you my Christmas list. Please bring my friend, Ross two armies and put them both in Paris, if you wouldn't mind...and my friend Michael a shiny new army, and my friend Maslow a shiny new fleet, but don't bring anything to Matthew or Kyle...they were both naughty and held me upside down in a toilet and gave me something called a 'swirly.' And please, Santa, take some toys away from the mean Justin. He started with more toys than anybody and won't share. And, Santa, if it's not asking too much...I don't need any new armies or fleets...could you just get Mistress Lash back for a while? Basically, I need cash. You can't believe her hourly rates.
Thank you,
Franz

Have a good week everyone, and get those orders in!
