Brad:
Four of the remaining FP (Frank not included) traded PDFs with about
2/3 of the DS. There are still at least two viable positions that did
not trade PDFs. If you're going to get involved, ask for the Rohan
Guardians or the Unwilling.
I made Frank aware of this discussion thread over a week ago because I
thought his view would be important to the group. Apparently, he
prefers not to post it. He mentioned some of them to me during my
negotiations with him to end the game, but it's not my place to make
them public.
All 12 DS positions will continue to be active during the bug hunt.
We'll see how quickly we can bring this to a close despite the NKA
aspect of the game.

I guess we'll never find out.
Last night, Frank decided to honor the team concession and allow the
game to end with a DS victory. This morning, Clint ran the turn and
generated the "game won" message, so it's over.
It was a difficult decision for Frank. I thank him for putting group
benefit ahead of his own desires in this matter.
For the record, orders had been submitted for all 12 DS positions and
we were ready to press on. But I'm glad it ended this way.
