Well, I think there may have been some sort of hint in the initial game post as to what kind of diplomatic relations anyone playing LA Ermor should expect.
Admin: Emails for this turn probably did not go out. I managed to accidentally save my turn before I was finished (hazards of playing on the host system). So I disabled quickhost, but did not have a chance to re-enable it before everyone got their turn in (Marignon finished just before I did). Since Marignon was connected, I didn't want to disconnect him by stopping and restarting the server, so I just hit the 'Host' button. Hopefully this has not caused any weirdness besides lack of the notification email. If it did, please post here or PM me.
