Did you subscribe with the same email address that I sent the invitation to?

I can't figure out what to do. The group never tells me anything about whether you succeeded, failed, or didn't try.

I'm sending another invitation.

Try going to the group directly, and then log in (with that email address): http://groups.google.com/group/theartofwar?hl=en

Sorry.

Status: offline 		Well, we're finally moving again. I never could get figured out why the new Austria couldn't get into the Google group, but I decided enough time had been spent trying. Sorry, Soulblazer. Keep trying though, because I can add you back in any time.

Status: offline 		Nearly everybody is done with diplo, so here are some pieces of information about it:
 
One thing to take note of is the last button from the left (12th, hover text = "Nations Status") before the break, at the top left of the screen:
 
This display shows all the major powers and all the minor powers, and the diplomatic status between them. It shows all the minors on the left, and the majors both across the top and on the left (at the top). You can see at a glance the statuses of all the majors with each other. In this contrived game, only GB and France are at war (this despite my having told the game to skip that part).
 
Under each major's column are the relationships with all of the minors as well (below the majors). Look down your column and see what you have going for (or, against) you. For instance, France is a war with GB. France also has Corsica, Flanders, and Hanover as conquered minors. Next you see France has Holland as a free state. Then, some more conquered minors: Julich, Lombardy, Palatinate, Piedmont, and Switzerland. You may also notice that I had to scroll forward between Lombardy and Palatinate in order to see the rest of the list.
 
Now, notice under Great Britain's column. It has Gibraltar and Malta as conquered minors, but between them, it shows war with Holland. This is because GB and France are at war, and this automatically makes all of France's controlled minors also be at war with GB. However, this display only shows the minors that are free states. Probably to reduce clutter.
 
I notice also that none of the players declared war on any minors. We'll have to wait for February now, but I guess we'll see the results of that politically. Remember for next turn: Declare war on one or two minor countries. But, before diplo, make sure any of your neighbors who might also choose that one do not.

Status: offline 		One other little tidbit you should notice, but my not (because none of the rookies are playing GB):

GB goes second-to-last in the diplo phase. She also goes second in the reinforce phase.

Spain both goes last in diplo and first in reinforcement.

So, GB only has to wait for one player to play before it is her turn again.

Diplo and reinforcement phases are in mirror order from each other (one is the reverse of the other). So, the closer you are to the end of the order in diplo, the faster your turn will come up again.

A variant of this occurs between reinforcement and naval movement, to a degree, and between land movement and economics. Keep your eyes open when you are playing one of the powers that gets a "quick turnaround" due to phase ordering.
