The first standard surgical tools were made in Cordoba by an Arab. It's a wonderful place. This is also why Spaniards are generally dark haired and brown eyed.
Starrman is an Arab and a Spaniard? So much for your stunning diplomatic prowess? 😕
EDIT: Apparently not...

Do you think it might work?

Originally posted by eagles54I've had an identical experience.
Has anyone else NOT received confirmation of the turnfile you sent in?
Yesterday I sent mine in by way of the weblink. This morning I received an email from the GM saying my orders hadn't arrived and that I should attach them to an email and send them. I've done so twice today yet still haven't received an affirmative reply.
Anyone else waiting on a reply?
Re: BuffaloBill's website, I don't know what the password or nation number are.
EDIT - You think you've got it bad, Venetian? I called my friend who has a Master's in cultural antropology and has been into medeival recreation gaming for a long time to ask advice. When I told him I had Hungary he said
"Wow, you really drew the short straw, didn't you?"

Originally posted by Freddie2006I can't remember if new turns are typically available on Wednesdays or on Thursdays. It may be later on today, but I can't guarantee it. Also, this being our first turn, with most people new to the game, they may wait a little longer to make sure everything is in order before proceeding.
Should something have happened by now? How long to we have to wait to be able to download the next turn?

Well, it would serve you right if your moves didn't work; what a deal ya got with Norway! Plenty of room to expand and nobody to bother you; Denmark still doesn't have a player, does it? Me, I got a bunch of scheming psychos all around me.

Maybe you could list the home addresses and social security numbers of your "allies" here, too.

Are you aware that I did apologize for it?
Are you aware that I had the admin remove them since you pissed about it before?
Are you aware that email addresses can be found as public knowledge?
You will be a crushed little worm soon no1. Count on that.
