GAMESTART INFORMATION
I'm Ally Bain & as you know I'm your GM for this game. By being neutral I'm able to answer any questions as long as they don't upset my status in the game.
My son & I have a number of tropical freshwater fish tanks & therefore I've called this game 'Congo Tetra' as it's a common name for a fish. Congo Tetra, Phenacogrammus interruptus as their scientific name, is in the Characins family. They swim in Zaire. As like tetras they are community fish. Future maps will have a picture of them.
Within a handful of days you must submit these seasons’ orders. The reason being that if I don't receive orders from one or more players, the game will be delayed until they've been replaced.
As I'm sure you know, sadly during games people often NMR & if done again in the next season, they go into Anarchy. I would ask that you consider how long games last and if you feel you can't continue playing for that period of time, I would ask that you to notify me. As an example, I would think the game will last for up to half a year.
When submitting orders YOU MUST write, in the Subject, ‘Congo Tetra - - ’, e.g. Congo Tetra – Italy – A04.
Regarding myself, about four years ago I wrote an auto-biog & have sometimes updated it. Within it, I write about my son, Graeme, the two brain operations I had, my career plus my other half, Sally & a number of other things, etc. You can read it via the Web address:

I wrote above that they are an area I'm mention. Earlier this year I stopped being a 'couch potato' & started to run long distances. On the 30th October 2006 I'm running in the Dublin Marathon. Please read about it together with the charity I'm raising funds for. The Web address is:

Diplomacy 2000 houserules, http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk/dip2000/diprules/diprules.htm, apply except the following:
1. End Game Proposals (EGP) aren't allowed until after A05. After A05, any EGP must be a fair reflection on the state of the board when the EGP is presented. If it isn't, I'll not display it. When EGP are shown, players must submit together with their orders, etc, their vote. Failure to vote equals 'yes' to the EGP.
Deadline
As you know this game is a one-weeker however I'm giving you two weeks to allow you time to do your Pre-S01 stuff. Adding to that, as mentioned I'm running the Dublin Marathon on the 30th Oct so what will happen is that there will also be a two week Deadline for A01. After that, we'll get back to the one-week Deadline. Sorry for that but I hope you understand.
Spring 1901; 23rd October 2006 at 6pm British Summer Time (BST).
