... having attained, inherited or seized full control over the entire militaries of their nations, prepare to compete for supremacy over Europe. Or, well, at least control over 18 supply centers, but that's more than close enough.

Submit orders to me by email or PM as in the rules summary. Orders for the first turn are due Tue Nov 24 12:00:00 UTC 2009. Remember, shoot straight, conserve ammo... er... I mean, remember, only by the power of LOVE and friendship can you and your allies conquer Europe together!

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Pardon me, chap, but perhaps it wouldn't be a spot of bother for you to find a map with the full names of the provinces on there? It adds a bit of flavor, and I'd hate to be dueling it out with Gerry in the trenches without being quite sure quite where we're fighting. Good man.

Your humble servant,
Lord Scott of Thrapstonwickshire-on-Fleem
Prime Minister of Great Britain

[Ari Rahikkala]

Well if you insist

[Hesam Jayatar]

It's Jerry.

Oh, heavens no, not Jerry, we have nothing but respect for our German brothers and sisters. We were referring to this blighter.

I THINK ME AND SCOTT WANT TO SHORTEN THE TURN LENGTH TO THREE DAYS, BTW.

WHAT SAY THE REST OF YOU UPSTANDING GENTLEMEN?

[Aurangzeb Khan]

This slanting gentleman says aye maybe.

[Harvey Steffke]

Three days is good. Alternatively, having the orders due on the same two days per week is also good. Like a Tuesday / Saturday kind of thing maybe.

[Malliki Tosha]

Five days would be better for me. I can probably not handle such a short deadline.

I'm on holidays now, so suits me.

[Ari Rahikkala]

Two players have not yet submitted their orders. You have... about three hours before deadline. If I receive no moves I'm just going to have all of your units hold. The results will not be pretty for the nations involved

Also, I'm going to give a five-day deadline for the next turn, too... but unless there are significant protests it'll be shortened into a regular-ish twice-a-week deal after that.

[Ryan]

I'm writing mine up right now.
