We now have 3 alternates who you might want to keep informed they are: Alt1 Brian Utterback ihnp4!inmet!faust!brianu Alt2 Doug Miller ihnp4!seismo!ut-sally!ut-ngp!doug Alt3 Tom Tedrick (uncertain path) If anyone misses moves 1 time, I will contact the alternate and ask him to submit moves for that country. I will also try and contact the original player and find out his intentions. If the moves are missed the second time the country will be forfeited to the alternate. If you are going to be away for an extended period of time and may miss a move let me know. You can come up with your own alternate for a short period or use one of the existing alternates. Note of administration First if people want more time for the first move please let me know. I will follow the wishes of the majority. Second when you contact other players by mail please send a copy to me. I would like to have some fun watching the strategy of each player as it developes. I will also be trying to put out a newspaper which will detail things that you want detailed. I will also include notes on who is talking to whom also specified not to in your mail. For example: The Russian Czar met today with the Emperor of Austria Hungary. No details of the conversation will be given nor will any indication of the success or failure of the negotiations. This information can be helpful to all players and is available in a face to face game. My feeling is that the newspaper should come out every week. Any objections should be voiced as soon as you can for I will try to get the first installment out next week. The Russian Bear Bruce Dautrich

I have sent the following mail to everyone concerned please be advised and act accordingly if you do not recieve this mail. I have recieved mail from Italy, Austria, and Germany. So if you tried to send me something it did not get through yet. Please continue to mail me your correspondences with other players I am enjoying them to no end. FROM: b.a.dautrich TO: ~dip DATE: 28 Feb 1986 9:34 EST SUBJECT: Dautrich Diplomacy Game Comments so far: 1. Some people have complained that I did not mail to them to determine if the mail paths were workable. In my opinion this is not important for me. First I should not disclose anything I would not disclose to everyone so to regulate myself I will only post to net.games.pbm. Second the more important part of things are the paths between each of you not between me and you. If people find this unworkable I will ask one of the alternates to fill in. 2. Since people did not seem to get the posting as quickly as I thought they would I will change the due date for the first move back to the beginning of business on the 17 of March. Word of warning I get in early so don't plan on sending anything in on Monday it won't get here in time. Also I will arbitrate based on the lastest set of moves that you send in. I have recieved 1 set of moves so far. This is wise in that if your machine or even mine doesn't get the mail as fast as you would like you can have a backup set of moves available. (Much better than holding especially in the early moves). If you would like to you can number the moves that you send to me so that I am absolutely positive which moves you intended. 3. As a general note. I take a very liberal towards ambiguous or incorrect moves. If the move can be interpreted in 1 way and 1 way only then it will occur that way. But if it has multiple meanings nothing will happen. Example: A Brest -> Mid Brest -> Mid F Brest -> Mid Since there is only one unit in Brest and it happens to be a fleet then all of the above moves can only have 1 intention. which is to move the unit from Brest to Mid. However: F Con -> Bul Would not work because it makes a difference which coast was intended so this move could have 2 meanings and would not work. So watch so those coast markers.
