GAMESTART INFORMATION
GAMESTART INFORMATION
I'm Ally Bain & as you know I'm your GM for this game. By being neutral I can 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 the game 'Snake Head' as this is a common name for a fish. Snake Head, Channa micropeltes as their scientific name, is in the Channidae family. These fishes have great colours & too often novice fish keepers buy them & put them in the same tank as other fish. In short they're predators & do grow to 4' (1.2 metres) long! They do come to the surface & breathe normal air. In wild, they're found in the Sth-East Asia & India. Future maps will have a picture of them.
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 have been replaced.
Sadly during games, people often NMR. I would ask that you consider how long games last and if you feel you cannot 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 a year.
The deadline is 5pm (BST), 6th October 2005.
Regarding myself, about three years ago I wrote an auto-biog & within it, I wrote about my son, Graeme, the lobotomy I had, my career & a number of other things, etc. Sadly I haven't updated it for quite a while so what I'll do in this e-mail is mention the slight changes & hopefully anyone who reads the, slightly out-of-date auto-biog (http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/alb_gsb/authors/ally.htm), knows my background. :-)
Three months ago I moved in with Sally, my fiancée, & we live near Sudbury, Suffolk. To those unaware of Britain, Sudbury is about 20 miles north-west of Colchester, Essex. Colchester is the oldest town in Britain & to those who don't know where that town is, it's about 50 miles north-east of London. If you don't know where London is, ..... no comment. :-)
Regarding our home, we just managed to get Planning Permission for the extension & garage which now leads us on to getting Buildings Regulations. Once that is done, the joy of building them comes into play. :-/
I'm hoping that soon Cottage Crafted Candles (http://www.cottage-crafted-candles.co.uk) will provide sufficient income for me to once again go back to working on my own. Here's hoping!
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.
