Heya folks,

Several announcements to make with the Spring 14 turn.  The action itself is hot and furious as the Rogues pound the Knights back but are themselves drenched all over by the tree-thumping Trolls.  The Faeries continue to stand on Sendic's Bridge in the Dragonsteeth Mountains, authoritatively telling the Ogres that YOU SHALL NOT PASS!  And in the south, some interesting moves suggest infinite possibilities...

Two retreats come out of all that - one for the Pirates, the other for the Rogues.  Deadline for Summer 14 retreats will be set for Saturday, December 12th (11:59 PM GMT).

Which brings us to our announcements:

1.  I am a horrible GM and completely omitted mentioning a draw proposal that surfaced during the Autumn turn in year 13.  An Ogre/Troll draw has been proposed.  Votes yay or nay can be sent in with Fall 14 orders.

2.  With regret, I have to announce that I am resigning as GM of this game.  I would sincerely love to see it all play out, but owing to several personal matters I cannot be the GM that you players deserve.  Luckily, a fine (and some would say better) substitute has stepped forward in the form of Garry Bledsoe.

Garry will resign the Elves position, turn it over to a replacement which he has already found, and take over the reigns from me as of this turn.  All further orders for this game can be sent to him - Garry's email is <kielmarch AT hotmail DOT com>. 

Its been my pleasure and honour running this board for you fine players.  My sincerest apologies for leaving the game with it still on-going, but I know that you remain in very good hands.

Very best regards,

Trout
