[MN-dip] mn_std01 Complete!

[Chad Walstrom]

Congratulations, England, Germany, and Turkey, on your success in the
first MN-DIP on-line game at http://diplom.org/dpjudge?game=mn_std01!
These three powers elected for a draw after 8 years of play.  I want to
also thank everyone who played for their professional sportsmanship.

Now that the game is complete, I would like to hear your feedback on the
rules we chose for the game and how you might like to do things
differently in the future.  Near the end of this game, there was a vote
to add Saturdays to the game days that never really came to fruition.
Not all of the players has submitted ballots, and I apologize for not
following up.

About mid-way through the game, a vote went out to decide whether or not
players wanted to remove the Face-to-Face press restrictions and to
change the Timing.  None of the proposals were successful, as any of
them would have required a unanimous approval.

Again, thank you for a great game, folks!
