And good luck!!! One thing to remember, you do NOT want to ask people
questions about your game (and hey, you might survive longer than you
think) here in r.g.d. ALways assume that your opponents are reading what
you say here. It is considered "Meta-Diplomacy" to say things here
INTENDING them to be read by your opponents, a practice that I have been
known to engage in. All that complicated stuff will come later.
For now, just play and learn!!
But you're on your way, great!! Good luck and welcome,
