GAMESTART INFORMATION
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 'Giant Danio' as it's a common name for a fish. Giant Danio, Danio aequipinnatus as their scientific name, is in the Cyprinids family. They are very active, do shoal & also jump which means a tank needs a lid. In the wild they are found in the waters in India & Sri Lanka. Future maps will have a picture of them.
Soon I'll send you an e-mail which states your country. Within a handful of days you must submit this 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. 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 half a year.
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:
http://mysite.orange.co.uk/alb_gsb/authors/ally.htm
I wrote above that they is 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 ran 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. All players' identities will be kept secret until the end of the game.
2. There is to be no diplomacy between players. If you accidentally find out who a fellow player is then you must not talk to him about the game. If you do you will be ejected.
3. Deadlines will normally be weekly but as soon as I get a full set of orders, etc, I'll adjudicate. If however you wish me to adjudicate after the Deadline, write ‘Provisional Orders’ together with the other stuff in your e-mail ‘Subject’ line.
4. Avoid submitting invalid misorders. For example in spring 1901 if Italy orders A(Ven) s RUSSIAN A(Gal)-Vie [to tell Russia he wants an alliance against Austria] this will be reported as A(Ven) Stands as it's an invalid misorder. If however Austria orders F(Tri)-Alb and Italy A(Ven) s AUSTRIAN F(Tri) then the latter will simply be reported as a misorder.
5. 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.
6. No press, shown in the adjudication, is allowed expect from me.
7. When submitting your orders, etc, to me YOU MUST WRITE in the Subject, the name of the game, your country & the forthcoming season & year, e.g. Giant Danio - England - S01.
Deadline; Spring 1901 at 5pm GMT on the 28th November 2006.
