Hi All:

PLEASE INCLUDE "Dawnstrike" IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF ALL EMAILS ABOUT THIS GAME. I USE A EMAIL FILTER TO HELP ME KEEP TRACK OF THE EMAILS. THANKS.

I have received pretenders from:

Abysia
Acro
Atlantis
Ermor
Kailasa
Marerni
Mictlan
Neifelheim
Pangaea
Sauromantia
Tien Chi
Ulm
Yomi
Rlyeh

I have not heard from Stossel, who signed up as Vanheim. I will send him a 2nd PM, but if he does not respond by the time I get home for lunch, then someone else could have Van if they really want it. (If he shows up tonight, I will give him back his slot, but I want to give other players a chance to lay claim to the slot.)

I have no way of knowing which pretenders where made with 3.0 or 3.01, except for players' email messages. So, if you are unsure, you might want to send me a replacement pretender. (It might not matter, but I would prefer not to chance it and then restart the game.)

Finally, I have increased the number of VP provinces (one per player), but I have left the total cumulative points needed to win at 13. I think that is fine, because it still means taking VP's from other players. (Let me know if you object.)

I am crossing my fingers that we can start the game tonight!
