Diplomacy

So sorry that I wasn't here. My power line was knocked out by snow. I came down with the flu during this so I didn't go to the library.
 
Not really. I still need to get diplo a and screenshto assistant to work on my computer.
 
Hope you're feeling better, Cubsfan! :)

I didn't have a chance to mess around with the file last night (it was my girlfriends only night off). Tonight I'm free, except I have to make 2 batches of granola :p
 
Well, now I'm a bit confused, do I have to send my orders to Peter Grimes or not? :confused:
 
Everyone should send orders to peter, yes. Even if he can't get the program to work, he could still gather up all the orders (including mine) and then pass them back to me for resolution.
 
jDip and all necessary accessories are working perfectly on my home computer. Thanks again, Niklas, for assisting me.

To Summarize the Status of the Game:

Orders are due for Fall Movement 1908 no later than Wed GMT 24:00
Orders may be changed until the the deadline.
An extension may be requested no later than 24 hours before the deadline.
If orders are not recieved by the deadline, and no extension requested, HOLD orders will be assigned by the Game Admin.
The system is open to refinement: if you have an idea how it can be improved, speak up!


Italy's preliminary orders received.
 
If orders are not recieved by the deadline, and no extension requested, HOLD orders will be assigned by the Game Admin.

Although I appreciate a more intensive hosting, we should keep being patient with late submissions and not be too strict with violators.
Of course we should all try to keep the deadline... :mischief:
 
No, in my opinion, if you haven't sent in orders bad luck. I agree with the strict approach.
 
It's very easy to request an extension. If no extension is requested, I don't see why the game should not move on. Clearly, we won't always be able to hold to every deadline. But that's what extension requests are for.

The deadline is now 11 hours away. I have received all preliminary orders. If it's unanimous, I'll process orders before the deadline. :)
 
Umm, I haven't sent any orders so how could you have received all? :hmm:
 
I agree with hold orders being issued if the deadline is reached and no orders are in. This game is now at a stage where most of us can write orders as soon as a turn is adjudicated.
 
An extension may be requested no later than 24 hours before the deadline.

It's very easy to request an extension.
[...]
The deadline is now 11 hours away.

Actually it's not that easy, I could not get an extension any more, now that we're within 24 hours of the deadline. :shifty:

But I see the intention to speed up the game and for that sake I will try to assemble some orders in time... :)
 
Well, for the coming turn we can relax these new rules since we did not agree on them beforehand. Can we get an agreement in place for the following turn?
 
Austrian orders have been sent.
 
Hi all,

I'll be processing the orders in a few minutes.

Sorry for forgetting that Austria is still in this game - a Freudian slip perhaps? :lol:

Actually it's not that easy, I could not get an extension any more, now that we're within 24 hours of the deadline.

In practice, I think it's reasonable to assume that at 25 hours before the deadline you'll know if you need an extension. And if someone posts an extension request at 23 hours, I think that's probably fine. But if someone does that every turn, I will lose patience very quickly. At the same time, it is my job to accommodate your ideas for how you all want the game to be administered. :)

So after I post the update, we can discuss changes to the 'Ruleset' that I posted in #449
 
...holding for the update...

Good Luck :salute:

EDIT: added in the spoiler for Italian orders (these are copied directly from the PMs), and fixed some nits :)
 
Good update peter! Only two nitpicks; one is that there's no spoiler for the Italian orders (that could be interesting, since donsig likes to send messages with the orders), the other that you've missed a few >s.

Here's the save file, in .rar format: http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/54092/Winter1908.rar
