Our friend Leinad has not logged on in several days, (I hope he's alright) but that means we must continue this turn with his troops all holding. Thank you all for your patience.

Thanks, y'all!

I've run traditional Diplomacy for Atlas in the past, and the biggest problem has been members going absent. When it happens to a player with a large force, like Leinad here, it can really disrupt the flow of the game. I encouraged players to submit provisional moves at the start of a turn, but that only helped a couple of times. The best is to strongly encourage players to announce when they have time conflicts due to RL, and then either work around them or find a substitute player.

My players have been pretty good so far this game, although NeverAgain killed his chances by missing a turn. It seems to be fine this time, hopefully Leinad returns.

Leinad sent me orders, and I will re-calibrate the turn in a minute.

How did the armies in IL and KY get where they are? The rules of Diplomacy (4th edition 2000) state that "units cannot trade places without the use of a convoy. If units are ordered to the province the other occupies, neither can move." PiT had A KY-IL. LLR had A IL-KY, and its support from MO was cut. That leaves neither PiT's A KY nor LLR's A IL able to move and both must remain in place. That in turn means that LLR has control of the IL supply center for fall 2004, and has only one loss while PiT gains no units.

Ok, thanks. Didn't know.
