OOC: Didn't receive notice of the danger of this drop... if I had, we could have put in a standby very easily.

It's all manual, still, so if a player does not explicitly inform Support of a planned drop, then they find out at the same time as the rest of the players, unfortunately.

OCC...Oh, I totally understand the rules concerning this. It just bites!!

[HeadHoncho]

OOC: I'm with you.

OOC: second game I have seen someone dropped turn 3. Do they actually pay the setup fee and monthly rate just to stop playing and not issue even a single order? at least it was a shared region. And early on should have little effect overall.

OOC - been traveling and had no time to do anything but send in order. Back now and ready to get into the swing of things.

Greetings, you frozen old crone. We present to you the toasted heads of Princess Gosalyn Rainwood and Count Warren Stonewright. We promised to bring fire to the walls of Jukunta and We always keep Our word. What price your petty demands now? Go and hide in the Sea of Drowning because if you stay on the land, We will find you.

King Loman Firebreather sends merry greetings! In our haste to capture all nobles who were inhabiting the city of Jukunta, we managed to sweep up one of yours as well. Of course he is well and will be returned to you. We have struck a blow against Our mutual foe as two of her silver-tongued minions are now digesting in Our royal stomach. We will work out the details of his return before the next month.

OOC: I'm with you.

The Giant position still has four PC's, all starting brigades, wizards, leaders, and about 90,000 gold.

I think if the players would agree not to attack GI PC's until at least turn 6, it can be a viable standby.  And of course, standbys are free and do not consume a slot.

HH might contact the players who have expressed interest in a standby.

OOC: Rick, are you sure the position can be reset? My understanding is that the Kingdom has been eliminated, and I suspect that it would take some coding to put it back in order.

WA-WI:

We have established an agreement regarding tactical respect to each others wizard in combat, but I would like to avoid the chance of this becoming an issue. I would like to propose a NAP until the 15th full moon. What say you?
