Well, well... we're off to an interesting start. A few bounces... a few bold moves. We'll see which of those are true and who's bluffing...

I've been asked if it's possible to speed it up just a little bit, so I'm going to try giving you all five days instead of a whole week for major seasons and then two days for minor ones. I think that's actually a really good pace... not super quick, but not dragging it out at all.

Below, you'll find the moves, results and the new map is attached. You can also find all the information on the website at the dc269 page.
