Les Petites Bêtes Soyeuses
Points Arising for February 1676
Players' deadline for March 1676 is 20th September 2024
Rather worryingly, I have heard nothing from either of the two new players - Jonah Schmiechen and Ben Edwards - since they joined the game, despite several attempts to contact them. If anybody is in contact with either, please ask them to get in touch with me. I floated both their characters this turn.
Similarly, I've had nothing from Terry Crook since April or Ray Vahey since June. Again, please ask them to get in touch, if you are in contact with them.
Next month is the start of a new season. All characters start the month in Paris and all duels must be fought. Any vacant appointments not taken by player characters will be filled by NPCs. A player character with an appointment that lets him appoint another post chooses who gets this - a player character, an NPC or left vacant. So, if you hold or have applied for an appointment - or a rank - that allows you to make other appointments, don't forget to do so (or NPCs will get the jobs).
Absent friends
I didn't receive orders from the following (No Move Received – NMR) and they suffered the consequences:
GdBm Gaston de Boum (Ray Vahey) has NMR'd. Total now 2 and is sent to a Frontier regiment
Terry Crook got the benefit of the doubt and X2 was floated.

It is worth sending orders in even if they're a day or two late: it's possible I can still action the orders and will probably be able to use any press. It also reassures me that you're still out there.
Orders (and press) should be emailed to the LPBS orders e-mail address - you'll get an automated response when the message arrives in my mailbox. Please give your name and your character's name and specify actions in full detail. If you want a query answered before the deadline, please use the main LPBS email address.
