As I've previously notified the game's players, I'm afraid the past adjucation was affected by a mistake of mine. I failed to take note that Nigs' adjustment order was earmarked as being merely provisional in nature. Since Nigs got in touch with me immediately after I had published the adjucation, reminding me of the matter and stating his preferred A Lorraine build, I had to consider how to proceed.
I wouldn't want to see any player suffer on account of a screw-up on my part. I believe that Nigs' change of heart was not affected in any manner by having seen the other players' orders (and am assured of the same by him). So I don't see any undue advantage acruing to Nigs here.
That's why, after giving the matter due thought, I've chosen to amend the adjucation. I'm sorry for screw-up of mine and hope that you guys agree that the course I've chosen presents the lesser evil in these unfortunate circumstances.
Unless anyone wishes for any deadline delay, our schedule shall remain the same.

Hallo zusammen,
since I've received a full set of orders and nobody asked for the adjucation being delayed until after the deadline, I'm getting this season's adjucation out of the door somewhat sooner.
And it so happens that we've now made it through a whole decade since Europe's dignitaries assembled in Westphalia in an effort to craft a lasting peace. Well, those hopes were quickly dashed. The geopolitical lay of the land has changed almost beyond recognition since then. For starters, only six powers survived the rigours of this new age. An accomplishment in itself, no doubt.
The Spring 1659 Moves prelims are due Monday, 24 May, 6 PM CET.
Liebe GrĂ¼sse,
Charles
