Re: [eia] escrow question

["J.J. Young" <jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, all.  I'm back.  As far as the escrow question goes, I think that
_any_ player should have the right to change their reinforcement orders
based on others' political orders, especially declarations of war.  After
all, even if war is not declared directly on you, your situation could be
vastly different from the one in which you thought you were writing your
reinforcement orders.  For this reason, I think that we would have people
going back to rewrite their orders way too often (at least one player every
turn, and maybe most of the players in a big shakeup).  So I am proposing
that we use the escrow email only for political orders, and we send out our
reinforcement orders after the political orders from everyone come in.  Of
course, if you feel that nothing anyone will do in the political phase could
affect your reinforcement orders, you can still send them out early - just
not in the escrow.  I think that doing it this way will not slow us up very
much, if at all, and will avoid a lot of confusing backtracking.

P.S:  I also propose that we send out a notification when we have sent our
political orders into the escrow, unless there is some other way to know who
has responded.
