I've gotten everyone's orders but one of them contained a booboo. Later on I'll ride with mistakes, but when everyone's trying to understand their new country and its territory - and when these moves can have an inordinate effect on the later game - I'll be a little more lenient. In other words, I've messaged him pointing out the booboo and will wait about half a day before proceeding, one way or another. There's a line I'm trying to toe between keeping things moving and being fair.
Damn. I really hoped I wouldn't have to do this but I'm pushing the results back another half day just to give the player in question a better chance to read his inbox. If after that time he hasn't I'll wake up tomorrow morning and post the orders first thing. Also, it would be nice if everyone could make absolutely sure that their orders are possibly according to the rules (I would suggest reading the about some of the weirder movement rules, such as the special movement territories, for example), as I won't be quite so lenient next time. I hate being a jerk about this, but I've seen too many RPs die from low activity.
... it's, kind of ... sunday. Not to be the impatient bastard of the group but any chance of just declaring the mis-moved unit a hold and posting the otherwise pristine map?

I think the problem is that, according to his profile, 'Wach hasn't been online for about a day. So presumably the fixed order has gotten in to him by now, he just hasn't been online to post it for some reason (a very good reason, I'm assuming).
Holy cripes guys, I swore I posted all this. I specifically remember typing up a whole post with the pics and everything - even previewing it. I can only think I somehow forgot to click "Post" but convinced myself I did. I'll try not to do that again. Zemalac is right that the person in question got back to me quickly, which is appreciated.
To get to the point, here are the orders:
With the following results:
it's now Fall 1901, which, I'll remind our new players, is the turn that decides your territories for the next year. Orders are due Saturday 10pm my time [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=196], giving you five days and 9 hours to do your thing (from this post).
Just two friendly pointers here:
First-off, it's 4:30 pm Friday over here, leaving you one day and six hours for your orders.
Second, just a reminder that grey-mail as I explained it before is active. Simply send the message to me and I'll forward it.
It's 9:30 pm Saturday and I have two orders so far. It's possible that you sent your orders but they were waylaid on the cyber-highway to my inbox (Zemalac experienced this a few times in our last game). If so, check your inbox; I've replied to both of those whose orders I received. So if you have no reply from me then I need you to (re)send them.
Progress Report Edit: 10:20 pm Sunday and I'm still waiting on two, but I have a feeling they'll get back to me soon. You all should get your new map by Monday.
Alright, here I am with the results.

Which, skipping the retreat phase (since we have none) brings us this:
I don't know about you guys, but I winced when I saw what had happened to Turkey. Condolences shotbyamonk.
The following people have builds:
Austria-Hungary: 2
England: 2
France: 1
Germany: 2
Italy: 2
Russia: 2
Turkey: 1 (Though you took no territories, your Bulgarian army, being unable to retreat, was destroyed, leaving you 3 territories but only 2 units. You therefore get to create a fleet or army to replace it.)
No. Since I don't feel like chasing everyone up individually, I'll just say whose build orders I have. Armitage, Khedive and Zemalac all got through. Everyone else, please (re)send them.
Dastardos is correct, and that's alright. But should say that this also involved me having a life on the weekend; I had no chance to touch the PC all Saturday - and this was only a slightly atypical weekend. I think from now on I'll place the deadlines in the middle of the week where delays don't intrude on my time away from the internets.
(I was at an awesome LAN, btw.)
These are the builds for 1901. We are now in Spring 1902. Rejoice and plan! Orders are due Thursday 10 AM, which gives you 4 days.
Alright. You had the orders and I have the results. These are your results Ameri--people.

Which brings us to Fall 1902. I'm all flushed with success this round; we got a very punctual turn. So, swelled with overconfidence, I'm placing the next deadline at Wednesday 10 PM (that's PM, meaning...P...M...what does that stand for anyway?) which gives you 4 days and 23 hours as of now. If people are finding my deadlines harsh on their diplomatting please tell me. The last thing I want is a game of War because there's no time to talk.
