Hello Everyone
Origin Awards: The voting for the Origin Awards has started, 1650 and 1000
are up for the “Best PBM” category.
http://www.aagad.org/FinalPublicvotinginstructions.html
Basically I am going to be away from the office most of April, had my
holiday last w/end (Hay on Wye - very nice! too many books bought!) then I
am out of the country for the rest of this week - back early next week.
Then we’re off to EuroGencon until Monday and then I have a few family
things to go to along with other bits…
So what does that mean to you? Games will be delayed in setting up
basically - I’ve organised as much of it as I can - but no doubt some things
will not work out right. Extra little bits won’t be done nor much project
work including the PRS beta test and around 6 others… 
Also minimal w/end work will be done… and if I know the lads…
Euro Gencon - Just back from that - although it was a quiet convention we
met up with a nice bunch of lads from the games and as usual it was cool
chatting to you all! (Pete C I still think your work in game 83 was great
btw! ) We’ve just got back from that and hope to get the new set-ups
into the game asap.
US Gencon - we’re very likely to be turning up and having a stall at US Gen
Con (Indianaopolis) this year. Myself and Stu should be the people there,
but we could really do with a couple of helpers so if you feel that you
might be suitable for this get in touch and we can organise a deal for you.
Dates are 4days around the w/end of 20th July. Accomodation (floor
space is fine) very welcome.
The following new games are filling up.
1650 2wk [Game 87]: 18 available. (20/4) Some postal (non-prisoners) players
2950 2wk [Game 224] 1 FP nation needed
2950 2wk [Game 227]: 21 nations available. [24/4]
1000 2wk [Game 48]: 21 available: (9/4)
Bofa 2wk [Game 104+105] Beginners game: 2 experienced. (Get in touch if
experienced for a special deal here - all the game for cheap!)
Face to Face Game: June 22 w/end (Fri mid-aft until Sunday) - 7 available
(5 if 2 GMs play as is likely) with 8 possibles. (Some players will no doubt
double up but we want to keep that to a minimum).
Setting up in a game:
When I get all 25 nations into the game I will allocate you your choice of
nation from the list of nations that you have sent me - please send multiple
nation choices as this helps to get everyone their 1st or 2nd choices - if
too many choose only 1 nation the system falls apart. All nations are
potentially available until I set up the game.
Descriptions of the type of game follow - please check this when contacting
me with regards playing in that game. When joining with allies please tell
me so that I can help out. You cannot join 1650/2950 games as Neutral with
an aligned or Neutral ally.
Upto 2 nation game: You can play one or two Aligned nations, or one Neutral
nation.
2 nation game: You must play two nations.
Note please ask for variant games we can try to get you opposition for them
if you are interested - mostly Grudge teams though - if I get 10 players for
any single type of game then I will put it up for general availability below
and push it;
Grudge Games we need opposition for:
1000: None
2950: GM Team
1650: John Simpson [12 FP (mid-May start)] Jim Christensen DS 6x2 (mid-May
start)
I have drop-outs available - don’t forget you get a free turn for taking
these up…
E [Early] = 0-10 turn, M [Midgame]= 11-20, L [Late game] = 21+ [A= Aligned
if a Neutral, N= not aligned if a Neutral, P = Postal and Email game, G=
Grudge, 1w = 1week game, 3w = 3week game]
Bofa: None
1000: None
2950: None
1650: 23 EN
Gunboat: 1x2 (m), 1 (l), 1x2 (e) (Please note past turns for all these
nations are available)
Thanks
Clint
