If I'm not mistaken this is the motto of the oldest profession on earth.

It definitely would be appropriate, whether you are talking about politicians or courtesans

However, I believe the earliest citation was a 1932 newspaper article quoting an American playwright giving advice to a rising young movie star:

Army list to follow.

(50/50)

My Choice of Armies is:

Frankish 496-599 AD
Byzantine 551-578 AD
Romano-British 407-599 AD
Scots-Irish 50 BC-476 AD

(transferred to original post)

Players are still continuing to sign up and we have reached a massive 110 registrations now. I have been able to open up a fifth division for recruitment in Biblical with just 2 places to fill already. And I have offered provisional places in Late Antiquity, Early Middle Ages and High Middle Ages in an effort to open new divisions for recruitment in those sections. The reason for doing things this way is that I want to avoid players signing up thinking they have got a place, only to be told at the weekend that there is not enough players to form their division.

I am allowing players who have signed up for 4 sections to add a fifth one, provided that they can be confident of completing the matches. joggy and random27 already have a fifth section. Is there anyone else?

Go on then !

Late Antiquity.....armies to follow

Cheers

Ian

1600 points

Armies checked 27/9, OK.

Once a section has become full I still need to recruit some reserves for each one, because occasionally players do drop out at the beginning of the season, or they play so slowly that they have to be replaced at one of the two Time Control checks (after 3 weeks and then after 5 weeks). I have divided the vacancy slots according to the divisions so that reserves entering the tournament do so at their appropriate level of skill/experience . . .

Classical Antiquity
A/B - SpeedyCM (B), MorkinTheFree (B), vacancy
C/D - vacancy, vacancy, vacancy
E/F - McHarg, Herode_2, vacancy

Late Antiquity
A/B - MorkinTheFree, vacancy, vacancy
C/D - DocVanNostrand, vacancy, vacancy
E/F - McHarg, Herode_2, gfs26

Early Middle Ages
A/B - vacancy, vacancy, vacancy
C/D - vacancy, vacancy, vacancy
E/F - gfs26, vacancy, vacancy

Biblical
A - vacancy, vacancy,
B/C - vacancy, vacancy, vacancy
D/E - Yojimbo67, Wethpig, Herode_2, gfs26

High Middle Ages
A - Nosy_Rat (A), vacancy
B/C - Questar17 (B), MorkinTheFree, vacancy
D/E - Herode_2, vacancy, vacancy

Important: please note that I will be giving priority to those players registering as reserves who have yet to be allocated anything at all in the current season.

No worries - I took it as a compliment, thank you

[Edit] To clarify my original comment, if there is anyone that people need to be watching for, it's *you*, for winning two divisions in your first DL season
