RESULTS: All alliances remain the same, and the Fremen in the Broken Land ride the worm into Carthag to reinforce their position there. Then, there's one more surprise: A second worm appears. The Fremen may direct this worm to appear where he wishes, but since it doesn't appear as if there is anyone to be eaten and nowhere for the Fremen to ride, I'm going to make a rash assumption that it doesn't matter for the sake of saving time. Technically, everyone could make or break alliances, too, but since we just went through that, I'll assume no one is changing their mind. If I'm wrong, let me know and we can back up. Spice finally appears in Rock Outcroppings. Then, *another* worm shows up in Cielago North, again with nothing to do, and to make matters worse, *another* worm follows behind that one, and still has nothing useful to do. Then spice appears in OH Gap, but it's immediately blown away by the storm. Whew! That's a lot of activity for nothing much happening. First, if any of my assumptions are wrong about skipping over all this worm and nexus stuff, let me know if you need to back up. Second, we need to schedule the turn 5 bidding chat. I'm proposing this Thursday, December 16th, at 6:00 CST. Let me know if can make it, and if not, a good alternative time for you. ORDERS NEEDED: All - Any second thoughts on alliances?
