We are the ones who make a better day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we make a brighter day, just you and me

That being said, there're some openings that need filling:

England in 'tiber' (Fleet_Rome) on the FROG judge
Austria in 'naked' (Standard) on the USEF judge

England in 'tiber' is basically a mercy position, although those of you
with the vigor of Huey Lewis and the scratchy, raspy voice of Bruce
Springsteen may actually be able to do something with the position.

As for 'naked', that was a voluntary resignation by a player who lost net
access or something.  The position's actually pretty good.  There's only
one restriction: all players in 'naked' must be, well, naked.  It's on the
honor system, but so far I feel that we've gotten a good start on
advancing the cause of naked Diplomacy.  Prince would be proud -- too bad
he bailed on singing on "We Are The World."  In any case, if you like
being seriously silly, Austria in "naked" is for you.

Yes, please do.  Along the way, please explain to me why Lipton Cup-A-Soup
Mushroom Soup never dissolves completely, always leaving a few lumps of
undissolved nastiness in the bottom of the cup.

And then take over the abandoned England position in 'tiber' on FROG or
the abandoned Poland position in 'streets1' on USBR or the abandoned
Austria position in 'naked' on USEF.  Just remember to be naked if you
sign onto 'naked'.

I do, man.  I stir and stir and stir and still there's undissolved ptoo at
the bottom of the cup at the end.

Incidentally, a replacement for Poland is still needed in the Aberration
game 'streets1' on USBR (judge@braincells.com)

And I need replacements for Austria (who resigned) and France (who simply
vanished) in the standard game "naked" on USEF.

No, those float on top.  The stuff at the bottom is simply undissolved
soup.  Dunno why the stuff never dissolves completely.  I'm certainly
using a large enough mug.

Now then: would you please go take over the abandoned position of Poland
in the gunboat Aberration game "streets1" on the USBR judge, or
alternately, take over the abandoned position of Austria or France in the
all-naked game "naked" on USEF?
