Nash, try it again, you may have had a carriage return in that line, or something that produced a character that the judge didn't understand.

Try a fresh email.

It worked! I followed Hortlund's example, only I didn't use an obscene password that had to be filtered the way he did.

Is Dowding in yet?
I want to backstab his bellybutton to kingdom come :)

And we should probably create some AAR-thread here in the O club so we can squeak at eachothers cowardly gamey moves.

No, I think Dowding and Nash need to get their collective arses in gear, pronto! :)

Yup I think that's what it was banana - an extra carriage return.

Here's the reply:

-------------------------------------------
You are already signed up to play a power in game 'aceshigh'.

No preference list has been established.
Preference list 'XXXXXXX' set.
-------------------------------------------

The X's are the letters of my country preferences (so you guys can't see them). Does that look right? Have my country preferences now been established?

Well, that's not what the reply looked like that I got, but maybe that's because you're already in.

Hey, if it says you're already in, then you're already in. :)

Rgr banana - I'm in.

Just wanted to make sure that my country preferences are in the running when it makes the draw.

I *think* what the above says is that my preferences are noted, but no country/player list has been established. I.o.w., the Judge hasn't assigned the countries yet.

Sand, can you have a look at that (2-3 posts up) and see if I'm interpreting it right?

Explain what you meant in that email about gunboat diplomacy please?

If we go with gunboat...we will not know which player plays what country? Is that so?

This is also true. Country assignments have not been made.

Sandman, you are already broadcasting to us via email. I'd like to respond back, but don't know the URL to log into in order to respond.

You asked about gunboat....I'd rather not play gunboat, because I don't think it's neccessary. No matter how much you like or dislike one or more of the other players in a game, at some point they will probably all be an enemy and an ally.

"Your enemy today can be your best friend tomorrow", and vice-versa, seems to be an apt attitude to take.
