General guidelines:
Send your orders to this Arbritrator account prior to the deadline. If you send in provisional orders but need to change them later, DON'T PANIC! just send in a new PM - I will only take the most recent PM as the orders you want. Make sure your orders are in the standard form used for Diplomacy - use either full name or accepted three-letter abbreviation for each region, and make sure to double check them to make sure you haven't made a mistake. If an order is not quite right I will take simply what I assume to be the correct interpretation - but if it's wrong I take no responsibility:p The exception to this is if you use an abbreviation which is wrong and ends up as the correct abbreviation for a different region. The easiest way to do this is the Copy-Paste your orders directly from Realpolitik - go to Windows>Orders to bring up the list of orders inputted that go, and simply select the ones for your country. If you don't have realpolitik, just be very careful! wink.gif
After each go I will post a list of orders (and their results), which you can copy-paste into a .txt file and then load them into RP by going Orders>Load Text.
I will also post images of the resolution, and final result of each move (ie the State of Play), for your delectation...
Finally, I will link to a DPY file (the realpolitik game file) from the end of each move, which you can download if you're too lazy to put the orders in yourself, or don't want to check for any possible mistakes.
Moves will in general be 48 hours long, although the first move will be longer, and the second move as will be longer to give people chance to get used to this. If one person misses a deadline without prior warning, I'll generally give them a little while longer to get orders in, but only a few more hours. If you know you're going to miss a deadline - either put orders in very early, or let us know in advance so we can extend the deadline for everyone. Weekends will have more flexible time constraints, because people are generally online much less.
Blatantly copied from Tapper the rules of the game. How does Monday, October 26th, 8pm GMT sound to everyone? Gives you a week to make contact and get used to everything.
