EDIT: 3 in fact

Spain has two coasts. The north coast borders Gascony, Mid-Atlantic Ocean, and Portugal. The south coast borders Marseille, Gulf of Lyon, West Mediterranean Sea, Mid-Atlantic Ocean, and Portugal. An army occupying Spain is not confined to a coast, and therefore can move to Portugal, Gascony, and Marseille. A similar argument can be made for Saint-Petersburg (north coast, south coast) and Bulgaria (east coast, south coast). These are the three territories with coasts.

I will drop now, since my fate is inevitable. All my armies will have hold orders.

I'll take Turkey if the GM will grant an extension of a day or two for me to talk to my neighbors....

I'm sorry Magnus, I contacted Toasty (he was the first to ask to replace). If he does not reply in 24 hours, I will give the position to you.

As for the game, the deadline has passed, and I have received orders from NONE OF YOU. If I don't hear from you in 48 hours I will find replacements. If I don't hear from several of you in 48 hours, the continuation of the game may have to be postponed.

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

I sent orders, maybe your email isn't working???

I have received NO mail for the past week! What's going on folks?

 

[SolarFlare]

Pontiuth, I checked all my folders and could not find your orders. I will not venture to say whose fault it was. Did I reply to say I got them? Either way, please forward them to me, thanks.

My email is working, because I am conversing regularly with other people. It is very strange to have a simultaneous drop-off incommunications from everyone, however.

If there is anyone here who can't email me (your mail is being rejected or whatever), please post here so I know that.

 

[SolarFlare]

Turkey has been picked up by Toasty (email nkuipers@wideopenwest.com)

 

[BobTheTerrible]

I emailed you Ponty. Also I thought I emailed you too, SolarFlare

 

[SolarFlare]

That's strange... really strange. Can you forward the message to me?

 

[BobTheTerrible]

Did you get anything now? (from me)

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

I've got nothing in my mailbox I did get a letter from Germany a while ago

I'll be sending orders just as soon as I figure out where Toasty stands on my hit list

Yes.

 

[EmperorSnefix]

Might I suggest that we postpone the deadline until friday to allow the new guy to catch up and for the rest of us to finish what is most likely business with homework and jobs? Possible changing the time deadline to 7pm?

 

[naervod]

Oh yeah, BTW, me dropping was not just because I was losing, it was also because of increased schoolwork, so don't think of me like someone who would quit just because he was losing.

I dunno, seems like a bail to me, but what do I know.

Oh, so I guess this was a mistake, right?

Anyway, with regard to the deadline, it is postponed indefintely until I hear from enough of you. I currently have provisional orders from four nations.

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

I most definitely have no chance of winning but I am struggling on to the bitter end and have submitted Orders #5 for your handy tally

@SolarFlare-Notice that the I posted my interest the day before I got some of my grades. Also, it WAS partly because I'm doing badly. I hope to be back ASAP.
