This is my finals week, so things are going to be a little spread out. If you lot need the pace to be slow at any point, we're now small enough that you should bring it up.

[Maldiem]

F ObC retreats to ObK

[Charity]

Good luck with your finals Wamp.
The best of British to ya!

and I'm sure I speak for us all when I say take all the time you need.

[viggo]

I'm done. Good game. I'll post a post-game report when appropriate.

[Charity]

Hey Wamp hows the Zamz going?
I imagine we will need a stay of execution on the orders for Friday as none of us has seen the builds/disbands yet, can we have a hell yeah.

[thewamp]

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm still in the craziness of moving everything back across the country. As such, I'm not having time to post a map (yet). That said, builts are pretty easy to picture.

Austria - F tri, A bud
England - F edi
Italy - A nap, A rom, F ven
Japan - F tok, F osa, A kyo
Turkey - A bag

India - autodisband everything but F mad
France - autodisband F eio, F and, I believe...
Germany - autodisband A ruh

[Charity]

No worries Wamp, we were fairly warned, do you want the orders in Fri or shall we delay, I'm easy either way.

[thewamp]

I meant to post that in the above post. No point in getting them in on friday, since I'm flying home that day. So...

Spring 1908 Orders due by Saturday at 2300

[Maldiem]

Internet will be questionable for the next few days, so I'm requesting an extension on retreats (if there are any) in advance.

[thewamp]

Sorry for the delay... orders are somewhat dealt with but I'm falling asleep at the computer. Resolution ASAP.

So, we have retreats, but they're from India and France who each have all but informed me that they're out this game. As such, they've got till 2300 tuesday to send them to me, but I don't expect any

Fall 1908 Orders due Thursday at 2300
pushed back by 24 hours upon request if retreats actually come in.

PS: Thanks Charity for leaving jav and saving us having to do a legit retreat phase

[Charity]

I aim to please Wamp old man.

[Vexen]

So if there are no retreats ordered then do the ousted armies/fleets disband?

[thewamp]

So if there are no retreats ordered then do the ousted armies/fleets disband?

yep, thems the rules.

[Vexen]

um. . . weren't orders due or something?

[Maldiem]

Reckon' so.

[thewamp]

um. . . weren't orders due or something?

Yeah, they were. I went to resolve them yesterday, but had no internet. They'll be up later today. Sorry about that. I'm back home now, where the net's much more inconsistent than when I was at college.

Wamp, I changed the order for
F ara
to convoy ira - mad, I did it at the same time Turkey altered his

Oh and F mal - and

mm, good call, I somehow missed that.

So that puts a ira in dec and gives India an extra build. Everybody got that? Imagine it. The change will be shown after builds are in.

Also....

Elimination!
India's out and in 7th place

[Charity]

and arm in ira btw.

How did your finals go Wamp?

[thewamp]

and arm in ira btw.

How did your finals go Wamp?

Those that I've seen the results of went well enough. Two of my professors though, are very good at making it impossible to find out what you got. Eventually I'll get the overall grades and just surmise I suppose. Kind of irritating though.

And yeah, arm is in ira. EDIT: good call, Maldiem. I actually noticed that when I was resolving the orders, before I read Italy's old orders and assumed the convoying was failing. Then I forgot. I should sleep more.

Arm is *not* in ira.

[Maldiem]

Arm - Ira would have bounced against Afg-Ira 2:2.

[Shishnarfne]

No point hiding my build if I get one: A bag

(Just like last time... and probably the time before that...)

[thewamp]

Builds! (Sorry, they're a bit late, but just imagine them in)

Italy disbands A fez
Japan builds 3 fleets (you get to guess where )
England build F lon
Turkey builds A bag

And, a reminder that F mal - and was the retreat. Also, just to recap my mistakes from the fall:
A ira should be in mad
mad should be Turkish
ira should be empty: arm-ira bounced 2:2 with afg-ira

[Charity]

Sorry things are a bit hectic here can I ask for a delay till tonight for the orders please Wa,p?

[Vexen]

Oh, shoot. Yes, it may be a bit late, but I have been overly busy as well. I haven't checked in lately. I would like to second the delay in orders as I haven't posted them yet, and won't get a chance to do so until this evening.

[thewamp]

Sorry things are a bit hectic here can I ask for a delay till tonight for the orders please Wa,p?

You can indeed. Unfortunately, that means they're now due Monday at the usual time, because I'm gone all weekend. So yeah, you all get an extra 4 days. Sorry for the delay, but it should take the stress down a notch or two.

[Charity]

Ta Wamp
sorry everyone
