I am GMing a Gunboat Youngstown variant Diplomacy game on the judge.
(In this version there are three additional countries, Japan, India
and China.  The Map and starting positions are greatly altered.  Identities
are a secret, and no press is allowed betweend the players
Apart from this the rules are the same).  This might be the first
moderated Youngstown Gunboat ever, (on the judge), at least is is the
first one in a couple of years.

The name of the game is timor, so anyone who wants to play should send
signon ?sunda password youngstown gunboat
to the judge (judge@u.washington.edu)

For those not familiar with the judge, send
help
to the judge in the body of a mail message.

For more information on the youngstown variant, send the command
get info.youngstown

To get a youngstown map, send the command
get youngstown.ps              (Its in postscript format)
or even better, get in by anonymous FTP to
milton.u.washington.edu     it is in the public/misc     sub-dir

The game parameters are similar to the game speed.  This is a fast
game, and I will not change these parameters once we start, so beware.

Moves are on a 24 deadline, with a 72 hour grace, deadlines occurs on
Monday afternoons, and Tues-Fri.

There is a 30 minute minimum delay before processing move orders, rather
than 12 hours, the normal 12 hours is so the judge does not go
crazy if everybody has submitted lots of advance (phase) orders, however
I have never seen this happen, except perhaps at the end of the game, and
I might add a bit of delay, if necessary, later on.

The default move processing is 11:20 pm, rather than 11:30 (PST). (GMT-8)
This is just to give us a bit of a headstart against all the other games.

Against my better judgement, there is no dedication limit on this game.

This game will have an EP number, and be listed in Chapter 2.
