I am definitely hoping to fit this in this weekend.
Had hoped for Tues or Weds night, but stuff came up.
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

Have we lost our new Storadmiral friend?  Is it a Northern Kingdom curse of some kind?

I was going to formally trigger the new HY on Friday.

I was also going to ask about Storadmiral.
He popped up at a bad time for me,
but I haven't seen anything posted since I got back from vacation.

I have some work to do on 1922H2 report before posting.

I actually dreamt that we picked up a bunch of new members and were suddenly booming along.

Prophetic?  Wishful thinking?  Weird to dream about Navalism at all?  Who knows.

It would be nice.

We've had Incan, Norse, Iberian,Chinese and Ethiopian players.. all slip away.

I'm somewhat frustrated by the lack of time/energy to flesh out Parthia, and then work on the various mod side projects I started.

I really thought these two weekends before my trip would be 'free', but instead
I'm dealing with sorting out Friends of the Library business because our old treasurer and new treasurer won't talk to each other,
and I was stupid enough not to run away when they made me president.

Overall things popping up and demanding time/energy has been the story of the past year....about when I abruptly stopped posting
Parthian history maps and stories...

Anyhow, I will "gone" June 19- July 10th on vacation.  I will likely check in via laptop.

I've had a busy last few months myself that really took me out. But its starting to slow down and I am finally starting to catch up.

Sounds like a full Mayan war is out, but maybe we can have a few minor skirmishes to spice things up?

I agree.  Full on war is probably out of the cards for now.  I think some minor skirmishes at sea with the Mayans getting increasingly snippy about stuff but unwilling to commit to what would possibly be a suicidal endeavor, or some probing attacks along borders, would all be in the cards.

We can look for another flashpoint time, maybe when Japan starts building stuff in Panama?

When I am back from vacation, an unscripted war should be doable if desired.

I have other ambitions, but I am starting to learn that just because I see
theoretically empty time on my schedule doesn't mean it will be.

Prep for a short trip away, and the trip itself, is completed and maybe I will get to writing about Polish people in Hawaii tonight.

Radio and internet is full of warnings about tomorrow's weather and what storm conditions it might produce, so let's hope it's all for nought.
