BTW, if possible I want to play in a non-chat way as well. For this reason I urge all ministers to collect their orders for this turn (optionally next turn as well) *ASAP*. I'd like to play 1 or 2 turns on my own between tomorrow and the next turn chat (in or around this weekend) - the sooner the better...

[Locutus]

More screens (can't promise I'll post quite this many every chat, but I have time for it now) - I hope the resized ones work well on smaller screen resolutions...
