Replacment needed for a good Italy!

[Sahib]

In game "Newbie" we need an Italy. There are only five powers on the board: EFRTI plus two neutral units (G and A one each)

Italy is at 4 SCs, so is RUssia. F and E fight bitterly, while T is strong but not unstoppable.

Here is the map:

turn sent!

sorry just got in from work!!!

it'S still THE 26TH...

[Sahib]

Mobius,

the deadline was the 25th, 6pm GMT. SO you were 33 hours late. Now, in the house rules I clearly stated that the second NMR automatically leads to removal from the game. You saw that last turn happening to Midshipman. And you got a warning with the last moves. So: sorry, but you´re out.

And everyone:

we still need a replacement!

I'll take over Italy if it's still free - I sent you an email about it...

[Sahib]

Welcome to the game, Orange. I just sent an email to you and the other players with all necessary info.

[MOBIUS]

Aw shucks!

Fair enough...

Sahib
Can't get the map to work. I know the usual tricks - copy and paste it instead of just clicking, change www to fp, etc but it still doesn't work. Is there something else I'm doing wrong? I can see the map from the last round's post, but not sure what's changed since then
thanks
ps: Sorry, Mobius, didn't mean to nick your spot...

Orange, do you have ICQ?

If yes, post your number.

Are you using Netscape or Explorer?
With Netscape I simply hit the link, then click the location bar (where the address is shown) and simply hit [Enter]. Co copying, pasting, changing anything. Now Explorer truely is problematic. If you still can't see the map, contact me and I'll send you a jpg file.

Cheers Yoav, I got a copy of the map through icq from Ruffhaus.

[Sahib]

I have the same map problems. Usually I copy and past, do it again and again and after the sixth or so time it works
It´s a pity this realpolitik map did not work...

I'm really beginning to think that this is an Apolyton problem and not a Geocities issue. I'm running games by email, and providing maps using geocities, and haven't had any problems with players reading them. I sure wish we could sort it out though...

[Sahib]

No, Ruffhaus, it´s not an Apolyton problem. When I opened a geocities ling out of my mailcity mailbox, the same problem occured.
