Well people go for vacations and such. Others figure out they are getting their ass kicked and drop out. I'm a little concerned about the two guys who haven't responded. I sent everyone a PM asking for a simple random number. And one of them I saw on last night and still didn't reply...so...we'll see.

I would make it 2 moves a week.

Drake, would you like to volunteer as a substitute, and I will volunteer as a substitute GM?

I think it should also be made clear how much dropping out in the middle of the game is frowned upon. People should not play if they will not play all the way through.

Also, just FYI, I have noticed that a fair amount of people don't post that much on the weekends, so you'll want to take that into consideration too.

No I'm not going to be a substitute because that would ruin my impartiality.

I'll do a little survey and see what the players want to do about the weekend.

I just want to see this game played right. Both times I played, France dropped out and it made the game blow. I would like people to play a decent game. Why do you think you might leave the game?

We'll see if we can get a replacement for you. When are you going camping?

BTW I'm really sorry to screw with you guys but this trip happened really suddenly. I mean like yesterday.
I feel really bad about this but I would like to stay in the game it sounds fun. So if I could find a team mate would that be ok.

You don't have to apologize. Real life always takes place over virtual life. The game goes on longer than just 2-3 moves (which is all you'll have time to do).

We need another player or teammate or whatever. I'll ask around. You may want to put something in your signature like me and Drake have been doing.

P.S. How long will you be gone?

Okay here we go. Sorry if I'm an hour or two late, I fell asleep watching a boring movie.

Ok yesterday I posted the order of countries on this youtube page:
Highest Number: Germany
Second Highest: France
Third Highest: Italy
Fouth Highest: Britain
Fifth Highest: Austria
Sixth Highest: Russia
Lowest Number: Ottomans

Using a number generator I got a number for Troianii

The rest of you picked your own numbers between 0 and 1000.

As a result, here is the official lineup:

GERMANY - Caltex (667)
FRANCE - africanhope (559)
ITALY - Troianii (551)
BRITAIN - iTaliAN_Ice (489)
AUSTRIA - USViking (58)
RUSSIA - Slartibartfas (33)
TURKEY - Billybones468 (21)
