Folks,
It's been brought to my attention that the map I mailed out (saved from RealPolitik) doesn't mesh with the map on the DipWiki. The RP map is the same as Standard, with the exception that Switzerland is made impassable. Additionally, quite a few of the names don't match between the two maps. Therefore, I'm making the call to use the Standard map. This will help to standardize the way communications are conducted, and ensure that everybody is on the same page. I mail out maps with every turn, and everyone will know what names to use when negotiating and sending in orders.
I also realize that abbreviations are sometimes obscured by units, and have attached a blank (reference) map to compensate. Yahoo seems to hate me right now, so let me know if there are any problems with the file.
Sorry for the confusion,
The White Wolf

Um, don't you mean "that Switzerland is made passable"?

D'oh! Sorry, folks. Jason's right. Seems my brain shuts down even further after midnight. It's that Cinderella complex, I suppose. Clock strikes twelve, and my head turns back into a pumpkin.

No, but give him a chance. He could be away for the week-end or something. I wouldn't worry about him until Tuesday.

Folks,
As you see, we have a game number, which means this game is finally moving. Thanks to those of you who signed up early and stuck with it through all this waiting. The player list and country assignments are pasted below, and everybody who provided preference lists got something in their top two, so no complaining!  )
On a more serious note, I hope everyone read my house rules before signing up. If you didn't, please go do so now. I expect you all to be familiar with them, and abide by them. I've learned through hard experience that people who don't respect a GM's house rules are destructive to the game, and I will not tolerate one person ruining the experience for everyone else.
To highlight one point in my house rules specifically, I expect all orders submitted on time. I generally set the deadlines a few hours before the end of my work day, in order to provide a bit of a buffer, but don't assume that orders submitted after the deadline will be accepted. If it's after the deadline, I will run the turn. If you don't have orders in, I will NMR you. The second time that happens, I will replace you.
On the lighter side, this is YOUR game. I'm just here to facilitate it for you. If any player has a comment, suggestion, or complaint, I will listen to is with as unbiased a view as possible.
Now that the babble is out of the way, here's what you've been waiting for!
The Players:
England: Mike Hoffman mrh(at)panix.com
France: Louis Schoenburg louisschoenburg(at)gmx.at
Holy Roman Empire: Sam Buck Sam_Buck_Productions(at)Mac.com
Russia: Jason K Githraine(at)yahoo.com
Spain: Tim Rappleano thunder5(at)frontiernet.net
Ottoman Turks: Adam West professorhill2002(at)yahoo.com
Venice: Chris Morse camorse22(at)yahoo.com
The deadline:
Spring 1454 (the first turn) is due Wednesday, 1 April at 2pm CDT (8pm GMT). This should give everyone plenty of time to get in contact with each other and hash out whatever alliances/DMZs/feuds need to be arranged.
If there are any questions, comments, etc., please don't hesitate to let me know. Every turn, I will send a map in GIF format and a RealPolitik save file, and I've attached the starting map here.
Enjoy yourselves!
