Welcome to Request6, a fast-paced
Dipsters Group game.
Request6 commemorates the exchange between Jacques
(Mel Brooks) and the Executioner in arguably the
most sweeping epic comedy movie of all time:
"History of the World: Part I" (1981)
Jacques: Don't cry, my dear. I may not have been
born a king, I may not have lived like a king.
But at least I can die like a king.
[He strides to the guillotine with dignity]
Executioner: Your Majesty, do you require a
blindfold?
Jacques: None.
Executioner: Have you any last request?
Jacques: None.
Executioner: Test the guillotine!
[Another executioner triggers the guillotine;
the blade comes down and chops the head off a
wooden dummy]
Jacques: *Holy sh*t!* Uh, wait! Wait!
Last request, I have a last request!
Executioner: What is your last request?
Jacques: Uh, novocaine.
[the executioners confer]
Executioner: There's no such thing known to
medical science!
Jacques: I'll wait!
This is a no press fast gunboat game with
24 hour deadlines occurring on weekdays only.

This game is conducted under standard EP House Rules:
http://www.diplom.org/DipPouch/Email/ep.house.rules.txt
The following special rules also govern this game:
1. Do not abandon this game. Abandoning this game
will result in you being banned from all future
Dipsters Group games.
2. This game requires that you maintain a decent
ontime ratio. Do not hold up the game by being late.
In the interest of maintaining timely play for all
players in this game, the GM must eject any player
who has been late more than 20% of the time in this
game and has already been late 4 times or more.
3. If you need an absence during the game, you should
do this on your own by submitting a 'set absence'
command to the judge in the following format:
'Set Absence Jan 01 00:00 to Jan 06 23:59'
Just be sure that you have requested your absence
well before you need it because the judge will not
accept an absence request that falls within the
current season.
4. In a press game the GM may eject any player who
continues to be verbally abusive after one warning.
