Largely unimpressed.

Had I known about that, I would have corrected the order. Had you waited 24hrs until I got the eMail you (probably) sent to my work account about it, then it would have been resolved.

---

I'm sorry about this.

I replied as soon as I could Friday afternoon (after receiving your orders) and I also sent you a PM. And I only updated the map this morning (more than 24 hours after I sent a warning email).

However, given the actual events that occurred, even had you attacked with your fleet in Rumania (supported by the Austrian army in Serbia) you still would have been thwarted (since Turkey supported his unit in Bulgaria).

Granted, it is possible that you may have moved your army in the Ukraine to Sevastopol, but I would have thought that you'd have been more likely to move it to Rumania.

All in all, I don't think that much more damage has been inflicted than would have otherwise been the case even if you did change your orders.

Now's the time to diplome like you've never diplomed before...It's never too late to make friends.

I don't know if you have another e-mail address you can use to which you have access 7 days a week? If so, perhaps I can have it so that this problem can be avoided in the future. I'll make sure that I always wait at least 24 hours before proceeding with invalid orders.

I hope your on friendly terms with the Turks Ben... ;)

Nah, you'll be right. Not much else you could've done with those 2 buggered up ones really was there?

The English envoys are out. If I haven't contacted you, it was intentional. :)

Ahh nuts.

*dials 192 "Hi, I'd like to speak to the Turkish ambassador please..... What do you mean he's unavailable?..... I don't care if he's on his 'holiday yacht' in the Black Sea, get him on the line now!!"

Those two buggered up ones could have conquered the world!!!!

Or not.

Let's see how this plays out shall we? :D

I don't know 'bout conquer the world... but if you think so. :)

"I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're gonna kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're gonna go through him like crap through a goose!"

- Gen. George S. Patton

LOl
:D

I know RJ and I cannot see Simons site.

Can anyone else?

I can't either - from work. But I could from home yesterday.

PS Gary, get rid of that enormous pic in your sig - it's a bleeding eyesore!

Dont complain Ben. Obliterate. You now have the option of annihilating ppl who annoy you. :D

What

You don't don't like pictures of a big black man fondling a guitar ;) :p

Look pal, it may do it for you - but not me...

Will it help things if I display the current map in the first post of this thread so that people can view it all the time?

I have no idea why anyone should not be able to view my site but perhaps it will be helpful.

Probably would, considering the deadline we're trying to meet this week.

:)

Well, I can't see Simon's site, and I can't see the picture on the first post to this thread.

I'm assuming the news isn't good, though.

Hey ben, cheer up mate, the game has just begun, lots can still happen, and will :p

Yeah simon, put both of the maps up :)

Don't you speak to me you triple faced back stabbing Judas!!!!

I'll trample your corpse into the ground and **** on your grave!

(unless you eMail me with some mutually agreeable strategies...)

I'll have to look into the map display problems later. I'm not in a position to sort it out now.

Simon could you e-mail the maps to me.

I am off to Vienna again tomorrow until Thursday so could do with them pretty soonish so I can get my orders in.

I'm at work at the moment so I simply don't have them.

I can e-mail you the maps this evening if it's not too late and my host isn't already back up then.

If not, I'll extend the deadline as long as is necessary.

I know you insist on inspecting your troops in person but I really think you should learn to delegate to one of your generals... ;)

poor pigs :(

OK, the map in the first thread is now working.

I will keep a map of the current state of play there permanently for easy reference...

Cool bananas. The English have submitted.
:cool:

I'm awaiting a reponse from Simon to a couple of questions. I cannot make my play until I've got them. As soon as I know the answers, I shall make my move.

Errr....Can you remind me of them please?

Check your PM's... ;)

Simon,

Have you had chance to look at my questions yet?

I cannot make a move until they're answered.....

Thanks ;)

I have just answered them.

Don't worry, there's still several hours before the deadline. :)

Thankyou.

I shall send in my moves as soon as I've finished my planning.

How are the orders going? Who's holding out still?

That information is confidential...;)

I only disclose those who haven't sent in their orders after the deadline has elapsed...

Six hours to go yet.
