Hey there everyone, Viper here. I'll be your gm for DipCorp game 269, a standard game on the standard map. This game is meant for those who are somewhat new to the game, and especially new to playing it online. Here's how this works:

All communication will happen via email. Below you will find all the email addresses of your co-conspirators. Each major season (spring, fall) will take about a week, while retreats and adjustments will be given three days. Your moves will be sent to me, and once I receive them, I will email you back acknowledging their receipt. If you don't hear from me it means I didn't get them... that happens once in a while.

Preliminary moves are strongly encouraged. After you get an adjudication, send me a set of orders right away. That way your units won't be caught doing nothing. You're allowed to change your orders as many times as you wish. If a deadline comes and goes, and you have no orders submitted, you will be charged an "NMR" (no moves received) and your units will hold.

If you have any questions regarding rules or strategy, I am quite willing to help. Note that whatever tips I give will not reveal anyone's moves... I am impartial and will stay that way. Also, should you wish, Mikael Johansson (m_don_j(at)hotmail.com) is willing to act as a soundboard for strategy as well.

So, without further ado, here is the list of players and their locations:
