Orders are due today, correct?

I thought orders were due Tuesday...right?

 

[reis91]

The game will start at 20:00 GMT this Sunday(August 20). The first Spring phase will be resolved by Tuesday. 24 hours will then be allowed for disbands/retreats. The fall orders are due Friday. An extra 24 hours will then be given for fall retreats/disbands, ending on Saturday. Finally the first build phase will be over on 20:00 GMT Sunday august 27. Rinse and repeat.

Executer is correct.

 

[BlackCrown]

Ah

 

[PanzerCorps]

Executer is correct.

Yup. The game officially *starts* today, but I wasn't about to forbid players from talking to each other once they knew who'd be leading who and it is traditional to make the first phase longer anyway, so I see no harm in it. The first deadline is unchanged though.

The world has finally hit Winter 1900. On the brink of war, all armies mobilized - we can expect large movements very soon. May the best diplomat win!

I'd reckon that's way over 18 SC's... it seems the Romans were really good at playing Diplomacy. #MakeRomeGreatAgain

An anonymous message for France

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my friend, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Gotta say, France just got outplayed hard by Italy right there.

Yes.

Also Britain in the spring played him hard too. F Bre to Pic? Not a strong move.
