  My first game actually was 214, not 226 as I mentioned earlier.
  I signed up as a sub in 214. My memories of this game are
  a little vague but I think I came in as a 6 power
  France in the middle of beating up on England with Germany. I promptly made
  peace with England and obliterated Germany. In the end it was me and
  Turkey but I had Russia as my janissary holding up the stalemate line in
  St. Pete with his last unit. Probably would have won that game but Blue
  came in as a sub for England and promptly stabbed me with his measly two
  units :-), forcing me to take a couple of years off to kill him.
  In the end Turkey won it by a hair.

  226 was the first game I GMed, and for some reason I was
  really lucky - we had maybe two isolated NMRs the whole game and the quality
  and commitment of the players was great. Everyone who started the game
  finished it and Jennifer Barlow went on to solo as Russia through an
  impressive display of skill.

  All the while people on the chat list (Majordomo at the time) were bemoaning
  the low quality of play and number of NMRs on the overall Cat, and I was
  thinking to myself, what in hell are they talking about? But it turns out
  that 214 and 225 were the exceptions not the rule.
