Boardgames: Diplomacy!

[nikolai]

I know exactly who's hasn't got their orders in on time, so there's no need to worry on that count. The GMs guidelines say not to reveal the name of the late power - in case it influences the diplomacy - that's why I'm being hush hush about exactly who it is.

Which of the map modes do people prefer to use? I like the textured one, myself.

 

[Abstraction]

I like either the texture or the border. Much clearer, especially with regard to Denmark.

 

[Fenris]

I like the way the units look in the textured mode.

 

[Maerdwyn]

I like textured normally, classic when checking in from out of town on my little laptop

 

[Abstraction]

How long might we be waiting?

 

[Maerdwyn]

Grace period is listed at 48 hours. I think the grace period is allowed to expire over the weekend (unlike order deadlines)

 

[Mark]

We should see about adjusting the grace period to 24 at the most. Otherwise we have a 4 day turn possibility, with the 1 day GM time, and no-weekend-deadline bump. That mean a one turn per week, or a four turns per month, possibility. While we can hope that most turns aren't like this, the first two weeks doesn't show promise for a speedy game.

 

[Abstraction]

I've been very excited about this game. Delays are driving me crazy! Hurry up so I can win.

Possible Replacement

A player has missed the first deadline. If they don't show I will be putting them up for replacement about 24hrs from now. Fenris, are you out there ready to take over?

Just a reminder to nikolai that I am still waiting in the wings should he need me
