4. Orders and Deadlines

1. Orders Deadlines will typically fall at four-weekly intervals with the corresponding Announcements Deadlines falling two days earlier.

2. Announcements should be posted in the Announcements Database prior to the Announcements Deadline listed in the Vatican Observer. If a required Announcement has not been made, the corresponding order will not be effective unless the character's orders state that Intrigue has been used.

3. After the Announcements Deadline, a message will be sent to the main list summarising the announcements for that month, e.g. applications for Appointments, uses of Influence, offers to Volunteer, all parties.

4. Orders should be submitted using the Order Form by the Orders Deadline listed in the Vatican Observer.

5. In the event that a player is unable to use the Orders Form, the character's orders should be sent to the GM, not the mailing list. The subject line of the email should include the word "Orders", the character's initials and the game month and year the orders are for, e.g. ABD's June 1513 Orders.

6. Copies of orders sent should be kept until the turn report comes out.

7. The following orders remain at their last-ordered values unless a change is ordered:

ConCon

Conviction

Equivocation

Default orders

Replacement character name

8. Default orders can be sent and will be kept in reserve in case needed. Similarly, advance orders may be submitted to cover holidays and other absences.

9. If a character's orders are not received by the Orders Deadline, the character will use the NMR (no move received) orders below unless the character is on a Mission or default orders have been provided.
