Ministers! Please give me your orders for the next turn in the “Instructions for the President” thread!

Foreign Ministry:
Any orders for the Doughnuts? For KISS?
I’m worried about that KISS warrior poping barbs from that hut North of Black hole… any diplomatic way we could ask them to please not do that?

Domestic Ministry:
What should we do first with our worker - Imnzerg? Road or irrigate the Wheat?
Should our new Worker – M4 Sherman road the BG first?

Defense Ministry:
North or South with the Snarling Narwhale? I received no explicit orders, and went with North – but it’s not too late to change if you wish.

Any plans if the KISS warrior does pop barbs from that hut North of Black hole?

I’m sorry I didn’t see you orders on where to move the Ligurian Reapers until after I had played the save. (I played the save immediately after my post saying I would do so) Please take this as a gentle reminder to not delay in posting orders here for me. (or the future DP) – I assumed there was not going to be anything from you. (In retrospect, of course, the jungle move may have been wiser – but I wasn’t that worried about just one barb and opted for exploration)


Anything else I’ve missed?

Until next time,
I remain your faithful servant,

President General W

(Last I looked – I may be serving again – but if so I’ll start a new thread for a new term… )

Viva MIA…
