Reminder: Unless anyone requests an extension for a specific amount of time, the turn ends at 12:00 am on the 17th. So get your final orders in by tomorrow night!

Unfortunately, I’m gonna have to drop out

Are you sure? It's not too late to ask for an extension, provided you are specific on how long you'd like the extension to be.

If I could get another week, then I can stay in.  It's just been a bonkers week with the Coronavirus shutting down the world

We’re missing orders from a lot of other players too, so another week it is!

Oh come on, a week is far too excessive. Can’t we just have a 2-3 day extension?

I’m sorry, but no.  No offense, but there is a lot going on right now that I have to prioritize right now and I’d hope you can understand that.

To be fair, we are approaching a rather unprecedented situation and it's bound to affect at least some of the players or GM's - hopefully in the least harmful possible way - even regardless of nationality, so having some flexibility regarding the game is important. After all, these are not normal circumstances by any measure.

Heck, when this game started I thought I don't think anyone realized the extent this would have. I am just happy none of the players have been too badly effected by it and no one on the forum has been either.

That’s fine.

Reminder: The turn deadline is on the night of the 23rd. We still don't have most orders, so work on getting them in over the next few days!

Just to confirm, the turn ends tonight?

Yes, indeed. Those have you who haven't sent in your orders yet, get them in soon!

Turn 2 is now closed. Some very exciting things in store!

This worries me, hopefully all of my things end good, but knowing my like I was the target of an assassination.

You think you’re in a hole, I’m practically sacrificing a pretty big chunk of my armed forces and territory just to eek out everyone else.

I might be interested in playing Sweden if possible.

TimTurner has informed me he's no longer interested in playing as Sweden, so granted! You'll have a few days to change your mind before we get the next turn up.

[Dereich]

Any news on the number of character deaths yet?

[Lumine]

Yes! The turn has been simulated and it's moving into the writing phase, it's going to be an exciting one!

As for you, gentlemen, we can state that two players are dead, and one of them has reached a game over.

[PSOL]

Oh •••• me

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Interesting.  A game over would presumably mean an entire dynasty was KOed or taken prisoner.

[Orwell]

I think everyone is overestimating their chances of dying. I think it's a very high possibility that King Frederick III (me) was the character who died not due to any plotting but due to old age as OTL he died in 1670.

I don't think these games factor in age to chances of death

[DKrol]

Do we have an ETA for the write-up?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

In the meantime, any predictions for who dies?

[Orwell]

In the meantime, any predictions for who dies?

I still think Frederick III is one of them, but others I think will die soon if not this turn are Mariana (through Charles II, I feel confident she won't die that soon). I also feel that John George of Savoy and Ferdinand Maria are the most likely candidates for a game over at this point.

[PSOL]

It’s clearly going to be me.

I sincerely apologize for leaving you all in the dark. Due to the pandemic there was lots of coming/going in my househould, but I've finally settled in somewhat. I'll try to get the turn results up within the next few days, best case scenario being tomorrow.
