Here is what we have going into Spring 1905.
Receiving 4 votes, and the winner of the poll is the following:

Orders will from this point forward be due on Friday nights.  I will process them on Saturday morning between 6 and 9am, so if your late, so if they are not in by the time I process you will be in civil disorder.  Same applies for Saturday for retreats/disbands, and Sundays for winter adjustments.  Thats the deal, any questions, please ask.  Orders for Spring 1905 due Friday night.

1904 - An Illustrated History

"FOR HATE'S SAKE,

I SPIT MY LAST BREATH AT THEE"

ABOVE: Tom is regretting voting for that stupid ranking system right about now.

"I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP

FROM MY FRIENDS"

ABOVE: Tony cradles his most cherished possession. Now whose security interests are served by an English invasion of Italy, I wonder...

THE PROCESSOR'S PLIGHT

ABOVE: Tony is cracking under the weight of his responsibilities. He shouldn't feel bad, though. Processing is a hard job. Not all men can do it.

Winter Adjustment 1904

Austria Hungary now controls 6 centers and may build 1 unit.  There are no vacant centers so his build will be waived for 1904.

England now controls 6 centers and may build 1 unit.

France now controls 4 centers and must destroy 1 unit.

Germany now controls 6 centers and may build 1 unit.

Italy now controls 7 centers and may build 1 unit.

Russia now controls 5 centers and must destroy 1 unit.

Turkey now controls 0 centers.  He has no units, and is out of the game.

Adjustments are due by end of the day Sunday.

Winter 1904

Retreats are due Sunday.  If you get them in tonight that would be grand.

Austria-Hungary:

Retreat Vienna to Trieste or disband the unit.

Retreat Constantinople to Bulgaria, Ankara, or disband the unit

France: 

Retreat Brest to Gascony or disband the unit.

Once retreats are in I will update build totals.

Fall 1904

Let me begin by commenting about all my emails lately.  Processing takes time.  More than it would first appear, and so I'd like to propose the new timeline established in my email.  Friday order submission, Saturday, retreats if necessary, and Sunday for the winter build.  Why do we need a 24 hour extension if instead of Friday night, 3/4 of the players submit for Saturday, it makes no sense, we might as well just have a deadline of Saturday, which is also a choice.  I think we need to keep this game moving, and the best way to do that is to have some harsh, yet consistent deadlines.  So I've posted a poll, get your votes in, whatever is the winner will start for Spring of 1905.  

And now more important business.  

The orders were as follows:

Austria-Hungary

A Budapest S A Rumania

A Trieste -> Tyrolia

A Vienna S A Trieste -> Tyrolia

A Galicia -> Ukraine

A Rumania S Galicia -> Urkaine

F Constantinople -> Black Sea

England

Sweden hold
Belgium to Picardy
English Channel to Brest with support from Mid Atlantic
Mid Atlantic support English Channel to Brest
West Med to Tyrhenian Sea

France

A Paris supports A Brest

A Brest supports A Paris

A Piedmont to Marseilles

A Sevastopol -> Rumania
A Ukraine S Sevastopol -> Rumania
A Warsaw -> Galicia
F Barents Sea S Sweden (Unable to support unit, BS holds)
A Sweden Holds (Incorrect unit, Norway holds)

And that results in...

Spring 1904

The orders...

And the results...
Several quick notes, first to Leo, Paris is not adjacent to Belgium, so stop trying to  send a unit from there.  It held its position.  

Second, to Josh and all others, revisions will no longer be accepted if the deadline for submissions is past.  It gets to be complicated.  Stick with your first instincts.  If I get revisions after the deadline, I'll disregard them.  

Owen & Craig, Team Russia's unit will retreat from Galicia to Warsaw unless you give the order to disband it.

Also, Tom Mullane, RIP

If I was Bill I'd do a photoshop of a grave stone with the epitaph, The Turkey is Done.

Fall 1904 orders due Friday.  Players not submitted within 24 hours of the deadline will go into civil disorder, this is your only warning.

The written orders, I'm not making them pretty anymore.  It takes too much time.  This is what the program gives me, so figure it out.

The winter of 1903 is over.

Thank you Josh for your promptness.  Italy builds in Venice.  And so we move on with Spring 1904.  I think we can squeeze the spring of 1904 in by Sunday, don't you all.  I've added a poll, please give me your feedback.

Fall 1903

We wait on Austria-Hungary.  He asked for an extension, and so we will wait.  If his moves are in by this afternoon, say 3ish, I'll try to have things posted before 4pm, so we can all concentrate on more important things this evening, like drinking lots of beer at Super Bowl parties.
