[Ben E Lou]

Sorry....was tied up in meetings all day, and I have a 7pm meeting that I need to finish preparing for. I will do the adjudication late tonight (after 10pm) or very early in the morning. All orders are in. I'll accept any changes up until the time I start the adjudication, whenever that is.

The Fall 1903 deadline is this coming Friday, February 28th, at noon EST. I'll go ahead and let y'all know that there is a chance that I won't get to the adjudication until Sunday. I have a big trip leaving at 4:30 that day, and I'll be doing some last-minute stuff for it on Friday.

[Alf]

Here is the Spring 03 map

[Alf]

bump since SkyDog is apparently browing the board (any idea when you can adjudicate ?)

[Ben E Lou]

Just woke up. After a weekend with kids, I have the day off. I'll adjudicate some time this morning.

[Alf]

Cool. I knew about your week-end. Hope you had a nice weather. FYI, I was just in a call-conf with one of our boss in Atlanta, he seems to get up early too !

On another note, I sent you an email where I said that I was not going to be connected to internet from Saturday March 8 midday till Monday March 17 midday, and I requested that we hold moves for that week, since communication is critical in Dip.

Thanks. I am having fun playing this game.

[TredWel]

Any word on the adjudication, or did I just miss it?

[Alf]

I PMed and send SkyDog an email. No adjudication yet. I saw he was online earlier today, but not anymore.

I am off to bed now ! See you all.

[Ben E Lou]

My apologies. Things have been *REALLY* crazy around here the last day and a half. I THINK I'll be able to do it dark and early tomorrow morning.

[Alf]

As I already said in this thread and in emails to SkyDog, this is my last internet contact for the next 10 days. See you March 18 guys !

I will spend the next 10 days in the Alps (mostly skiing !!!!!!!)

[Rembrandt]

Have you ever felt forgotten and un-loved? Whoa is me

[Ben E Lou]

Dude, I'm an idiot. I completely forgot! Been crazy, but things are starting to slow down. I'm out the door for club in about 5 minutes, but I can do it early tomorrow morning. Setting a reminder in the PalmPilot right now. Doh!

[Radii]

We got time with Alf gone for awhile anyway. Too bad this wasn't done before he left though, I have been looking forward to this turn!

[Ben E Lou]

Whew! Life's been crazy lately, but it is looking to slow down now that most of the work is done for the release party. I'm REALLY sorry this has take so long. I've got the board out and am going to the Yahoo account right now to do the adjudication.

We’re going to have to delay until Alf (Germany) gets back. He returns on Monday the 17th. With all the stabs and whatnot, I KNOW you people will do some dipping before the builds/disbands. I think it would be fair to give Alf a couple of days to be involved as well, seeing as he has two disbands. I’m setting a build deadline for 6pm EST on Wednesday, March 19th. (That is one week from today.) Wow!!! What a turn!!!!!!!!!!

[Radii]

damn damn damn. I had a 50/50 shot of holding my own centers and i would have felt *much* better about this turn had that worked out.

[Rembrandt]

why can't Greece retreat to Serbia?

There was a bounce in Serbia. You can't retreat to a province where a conflict has occurred.

[Rembrandt]

Roger.

[Alf]

Seems I have been stabbed badly by England... I'll look at this later tonight.

[Alf]

disband orders sent

[Ben E Lou]

OK. Everyone else. Lets get those adjustments in. Once I have everyone's, I'll publish.

[TredWel]

Bump.

Orders due today.

[Ben E Lou]

Whoa. I just checked. Only one set of orders out of seven is in. Sending e-mail to everyone as well.

[Alf]

Any update ?

[Ben E Lou]

Well, I checked last night and only 5 sets were in. I haven't checked this morning, but I know I don't have time to adjudicate today. I had set time aside yesterday, but today is the CD Release Concert. I'm just checking in here for a sec, and I probably won't be on any more today.

--Ben

[Alf]

Have a nice concert SkyDog !

[Radii]

I was out of town visiting relatives the past few days and was able to peruse the board a little but wasn't able to pull up the diplomacy stuff, i'll get orders in tonight. Sorry!
