Frontier Imperial Dip 1 starts

[Du_Chateau]

A few procedures I would like to talk about before starting. First of all I will post moves on both the Frontier and ACS S & D therefore not descriminating either place. Second the dip game will be called the Frontier Imperial Dip 1. The moves will be posted at the ongoing games forum on the frontier and on stories and diplomacy on ACS. The spring 1860 moves are due Saturday, August 11 at 5:30 PM PST (1:30 AM GMT), unless someone asks for an extension beforehand.

Players countries (in parenthiesis ACS screen name)

USA - President Lionheart (OrangeSwr)
CSA - President Secretariat
Mexico - Revolutionary His Divine Shadow
Brazil - Emperor Hacksaw
England - PM Erwin Rommel (El Awrence)
France - Emperor The Orange One

Austria - Archduke Connorkimbro

Hurray! I got the nation I wanted! Yeah!

[MDR]

Looks like I one of my top three. I'll see what I can do with it.

We need a compiled list of all players, their countries, & their contact information.

This is me:

MDR - Japan
Email: mikedr@gte.net
ICQ: None

I'll post this to the Frontier when I get home from work.

[Stefu]

Post everybody's e-mail and we'll get going...

Mine's tatuahpo@hotmail.com

Oh, and I've enjoyed vastly the practise of RUFFHAUS e-mailing turn results to all players in ADCT A. Could that be done in this game too, or too much trouble?

[MDR]

Considering that this is going to be posted to both forums, it'd be nice. I frequent this one more than Frontier, and a few have already said they show up on frontier more than they do here.

It's also a great way to let the players know immediately when the orders are done.

No "mother" commentary, please. Most of the ambassadorial staff are descended from Castillans.

[Victor Galis]

Ah excellent... thank you for the list.

The Ottoman empire is ready to put the fear of Allah into the hearts of its enemies.

[Du_Chateau]

Stefu, that would be a lot of work.

Press will be used in this game. All press will be sent to me because of the posting on both forums. Label press.

White Press - Press from a country
Grey Press - Press from anonymous person
Black Press - Press from a country that is not the players' country (tricky press)

[MDR]

Ah well, I enjoyed having results sent directly to me. Guess I spent too much time on Cat23...not that I post there all that often.

The press will be an interesting addition to the game. I know of a number of people in this group with some skill in "literary communication". Let's see what happens...

[Victor Galis]

I take it we're not doing the whole mandatory insult thing then (need an ambivalent smiley)

[Defiant]

Defiant here on "ALERT 5 " to suceed the nation that leaves her post. "I'll be watching"

[MDR]

probably not. It's up to Du_C, but since he's maintaining the game on two forums, the extra work could be a real pain.

[MDR]

Starting Map mistake...just noticed

A minor map mistake on the starting positions...

British F Gibraltar is misplaced. It is currently shown on the map in the adjacent Sea Zone, Straits of Gibraltar (SGB).

It's a small, but important point to make because of where it can move right at the start.

Current position:

F(SGB) -> GB
-> VLC
-> TLD
-> BISCAY
-> CANARY
-> W.MED
-> MRC

Corrected position:

F(GB) -> VLC
-> TLD
-> SGB
-> MRC

Anyway, just letting you know.

[connorkimbro]

ok, i so i guess i CAN check the apolyton forums to . .
looking forward to the game everyone, good luck.

My first choice was my only choice (the CSA) but i didn't get it, so the austrian empire is gonna whoop some ass i guess.
