Movement

Broadcast from Master:

    I've had somebody request that I say something about conducting
    diplomacy after the deadline.  Intentionally missing a deadline
    so that you can continue to conduct negotiations is not allowed.
    The only time you may negotiate after a deadline has passed is
    if moves have been submitted for all your units and it is
    somebody else who is late.
    
    Thanks.

    Whoops!  I hope it wasnt me.  I have a tendency to answer my email
    one at a time and write letters before seeing that I am late.  If
    it was me, then I am sorry and I will be more careful next time.

Broadcast from Master:

    Greetings,
    
      I received a couple of messages from players regarding my last
    message about Diplomacy after deadlines (or rather intentionally
    missing deadlines to extend negotiation periods).  I was not
    threatening to throw anyone out of the game, nor was I pointing
    fingers at anyone in particular.  It just happens that somebody
    had previously complained about the pace of the game, then came a
    missed deadline with more than half of the players late, followed
    by a message from a player about Diplomacy after deadlines.  So,
    I broadcast a message about that policy to discourage the practice
    and keep the game moving along.
    
      Sorry if I sounded threatening; it was not my intention.

    Oh dear it might have been me! Actually I had four wrong set of moves this time!
    Now why can#t the judge send back moves details it can understand? I keep
    copying the judge confirmation omitting to take off the France in fornt or
    stupid thigs like that.
    
    Note to master: I will be posting my description of my thoughts and moves as
    soon as I get back to using my main computer where they are stored.

Broadcast from Master:

    I'm extending the deadline to tomorrow night because of the judge
    slowdown which may cause moves submitted on time to be received
    late.

Broadcast from Master:

    I'm extending the deadline for an absent player.
