Cat-1262: GAME START!

Ok, people: the game is starting now. Please use the "Cat-1262" in all 
your emails related to this game, specially in official orders sent to 
me. My ideal format of orders header is "Cat-1262:" Country "orders" 
Season Year (example: "Cat-1262: England orders Spring 1901").

(I will try to keep it updated)

House rules: 
http://es.geocities.com/luis_aldamiz/Diplomacy/HouseRules.html (please 
read and suggest improvements if you think convenient).

I strongly encourage sending preliminary orders as soon as possible in 
order to prevent NMRs.

Spring 1901 deadline: Tuesday June 12 at 8:00 GMT (I will normally 
adjudicate along the morning, European time).

Likely schedule: all regular turns' (Spring and Fall) deadlines will be 
on succesive Tuesdays at 8:00 GMT if possible. Retreats and builds will 
be ASAP adjudicating as soon as they arrive with a max deadline of 48 
hrs. after the adjudication. Please try to send them promptly to favor 
an agile game dynamics.

I have no notice of any scheduled vacations or other anticipated need 
for extensions. Please notify in advance if you need one.

Let the negotiations begin!

Best luck to all and may the best win,
Luis.
