Ok, do I still PM my orders to Jake? or to someone else?
Orders should always been sent to him unless otherwise stated.
First off, I will mention that there was a problem with the orders. Austria intended to support my fleet into Bulgaria, but made a mistake by not writing the order properly. He said "A of bul supports fleet of bla." Besides the fact that he accidentally said A Bul instead of A Ser, he didn't state that he's supporting the fleet's movement into Bul. So, it could've been taken as a defensive support move. However, Anti and I agreed to accept that his order was meant to support my fleet into Bulgaria, because a defensive support move would have been impossible (the two units aren't touching each other). The Diplomacy rules generally state that even a poorly written order must be accepted if it has only one logical outcome. This will be a warning to everyone: be sure to properly write your orders. There two ways to support a unit:
Defensive: A Tri supports A Bul
Offensive: A Tri supports A Bul -> Vie

Now, the next turn is Winter for those that are wondering. Winter is different from other seasons because you do not command your units. Instead, you get a chance to build or destroy units each winter. The amount of units you can build are exactly the same as the amount of colored spots you have on the map. For example, Germany can build two units now that he has Belgium and Holland. Keep in mind that you can only build units in your original supply centers (the colored spots from where you started at). Additionally, later in the game you may lose supply centers (colored spots). If that happens, you will be asked to remove however many units in the winter until they are equal to how many supply centers you own.
The deadline for sending orders is
May 15th at 11:59 PM (EST). Please send your build orders as soon as possible. It doesn't take long to do so, since they're only builds.
