And it’s dc144, not dc133.




Hey everyone it’s the day after Christmas and as I sit here at work – one of 5 employees here today – it’s time to get the game rolling!

Note I don’t have prelims from most of you!

Let me put it this way: Prelims are to Diplomacy as the spice is to say, a Harkonnen… Yeah. That’s the best analogy I could come up with, but you get the point. They’re important! Great habit to start early.

Enjoy,
-mike

Send some prelims in ASAP, cuz that’s a great habit to get yourself into… and since I hear there’s a holiday thing coming up this week, let’s make the first deadline for: Wed, Jan 2, 2pm Pacific! That way we can take our time and not feel rushed to get negotiations in between the turkey and the pie… I will generally run about 1-week deadlines, with 2 days for retreats and/or builds. If that is too slow or too fast for anyone, be sure to say so.

If you have any questions, LET ME KNOW! I don’t know the experience levels of the players here as you’re mostly all new to me.

Also, introductions are welcome!

Tentative schedule:
Spring 01 due Wed Jan 2
Fall 01 due Wed Jan 9
Builds 01 due Fri Jan 11
(always 2pm Pacific)
