Re: [eia] I still have a problem

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    I'm glad we were able to find a solution that satisfies everyone.  Joel
will adjust the escrow to allow for revisions, and the Combined Movement
step of the Political Phase will be sent out along with the rest of the
(second) Political Phase escrow.  BTW, I'm not as pessimistic as Everett is
about this slowing the game down.  I think the sort of big decision that
Austria made this month will be relatively rare.  And even when it does
occur, I'm confident that people will be able to re-write their orders
quickly.

I have to wait for all of them to change their orders, and then to reply
back that they have changed their orders.  Then I can send
