A player in game 'shuppan' wishes to resign, as he is feeling the strain of
too many games. He is willing to continue until a replacement is found, but
to avoid biasing negotiations until then, I won't reveal which player until
a sub is found. 'shuppan' is an anonymous (gunboat) white press/no partial
Youngstown game presently going into the Spring 1903 moves; I will say that
the position is one of the stronger on the board. If you think you might be
interested, get a listing of the game and contact me via e-mail, and I'll
tell you which power is up for grabs.

A player in game 'ix' recently had the misfortune to graduate and find a
decent job (though not so decent as to provide net access :^), and was
forced to resign as a result. 'ix' is an anonymous (gunboat) white press/no
partial Loeb9 game presently going into the Winter 1901 builds. Norway, the
available power, is entitled to one build, and has a fairly strong position,
both tactically and diplomatically. If you're interested in a fairly crowded
variant with nine players, just sign on to the game and pick up the position.

Boy, was the current Norwegian player surprised to see that! The abandoned
power is actually Russia, not Norway. Russia also has a build, as well as a
strong position position, though he'll want to talk to the (not at all
abandoned) Norwegian before he builds.

In any case, if you're interested in playing Russia, that's Russia, not
Norway at all, but Russia, in game 'ix', go ahead and sign on.
