I apologize to France it seems his path should be ihnp4!uiucdcs!uxf.CSO.UIUC.EDU!nmb253 instead of ihnp4!uiucdcs!uxf.CSO.UIUC.EDU!hmb253 Sorry about that but when I scribbled it down I could not read my own writing. To date moves should be in by March 17th. The Russian Bear Bruce Dautrich

First, I have to apologize but I have been out with the flu for several days. This has eliminated the newspaper concept at least for the immediate time frame. Second I have gottan mail from all the players except Russia. There also seems to be a problem with the path to him in that it appears to be one way. I did get mail from him asking to be in the game but have not heard from him since. So would Brian Utterback as alternate 1 would you please submit moves for Russia. If I don't get any from the real Russia your's will count and I will assume that you will run that country. As for the other players diplomatic efforts on all parts seem to extend to all other players in the game. So I am pleased to say this should suffice for the newspaper for now. To date I have recieved moves from 2 countries please get thoise moves in early. Bruce Dautrich

To date I have received moves from Germany, Italy, Turkey, and Austria. So England, France, and Russia better get with it. Please submit moves soon because if your country holds it will greatly change the complection of the game. Also alternates since these people have not submitted moves so far please do so. If they do not submit moves and you do then you will run the country. I am trying to take as hard a stand againts not recieving moves as I can. I am trying to make sure people do if submit moves and hence we can have an interesting game.

I have noe recieved moves from everryone except France and Russia. Please get these in folks. Alternates or other interested people can submit moves for either of these 2 countries. If the owner does not then submit moves and you do, then I will change the ownership of the country. So France & Russia if you want to continue please submit moves. Remeber deadline is first thing Monday morning and I will only look at moves I have in the mail at that point. Bruce Dautrich

In the order I recieved them: Germany: F Kie -> Baltic A Ber -> Kiel A Mun -> Ruhr Italy: F Nap -> Ionian A Rom -> Apu A Ven -> Trieste /* Bounces */ Turkey: A Con -> Bulgaria A Smy -> Armenia F Ank -> Black /* Bounces */ Austria: A Bud -> Rumania A Vie -> Trieste /* Bounces */ F Tri -> Adriatic England: F Edi -> North A Liv -> Yorkshire F Lon -> English Russia: A Mos -> St. Petersburg F StP -> Bothnia F Sev -> Black /* Bounces */ A War -> Ukraine France: A Par -> Picardy A Mar -> Spain F Bre -> Mid-Atlantic Next moves should be in by the 31th. Please start a little earlier next time. The games seems to be heating up. I can see a few interesting moves for spring 1901. I will not attempt a commentary in that it might affect how people view the situation.

First, point of order. I have been asked about a situation called coastal creep. This is typically illistrated with the following moves: Spain (nc) -> Portugal Portugal -> Spain (sc) In my opinion this is not legal in that there is a rule that states that two units cannot exchange positions. Second in the description about coasts it states that a unit on a countries coast occupies that entire country. So it would sound to me that the above should not be allowed. Since I know that this has been interpreted differently elsewhere, I am making this statement now to prevent any confusion in the future. Second, as it turns out the next move is due the 31th of March at this time please send a list of builds or tear downs. This list should include all possibilities. If you have not specified where the builds occur I will randomly determine them according to the nearest situation that you specify. Thus if you specify nothing it will be entirely random. Third, it turns out I am fortunate enough to be going to Japan April 5th through 13th. If we keep to the same schedule the next move would be due on the 14th which would mean that I could arbitrate the moves at that time. I am willing to do it this way if you like. The other alternative would be to give you an extra week so that if any questions come up I would be available to answer them. I will chose the first alternative unless the majority send me mail to the contrary.

The Kaiser of the Dual-Monarchy sent his envoys to communicate with the heads of state in Italy, Turkey, and Germany. The Czar of Russia sent his envoys to communicate with the heads of state in France and Italy. The Queen of England sent her envoys to communicate with the heads of state in Italy, Germany, Russia, and Turkey. The Re of Italy sent his envoys to communicate with the heads of state in England, Turkey, Russia, Austria-Hungary, France, and Germany. The President of France sent his envoys to communicate with the heads of state in Germany and England. ************************************************************************ Sorry, about the style of this but this was easy to put together and also gives the information that I promised. This reflects the communication since the move results were posted. It also represents only the communication that I have recieved. This seems to be a very interesting game and I hope that you all stick with it. Have Fun!!!!
