You're as smart and logical in organisation as a Prussian general. :)
:D High praise! I'm glad my arguments made sense to everyone.
To help with this, I'll translate the relevant passage from the "Day to day in the life of Fritz" book. Just not now. *g*
So, um, yesterday I went looking to see if that book had the aliases for the Netherlands visit, and as far as I can tell it doesn't, but what I wanted to say is that I kind of read the entire 4 pages of the Netherlands on my own, in that old-fashioned font, without help! I didn't get everything, and it definitely took a lot of concentration, but I feel like a person who read and understood those 4 pages!
But since I can only do that in small doses, very slowly, and without perfect mastery, an actual translation of the Strasbourg passage (which I actually glanced at last night but didn't pick my way through laboriously) would be well received. :) I just wanted to announce that tangible progress is being made, and one day I might actually be able to read entire blackletter font books!
Anyway, let us know in time whether you want to nominate but not officially join (though intending to beta and treat) or whether you want to join, because coordination is key and we need to be clear who'll nominate which characters so no one overlaps. :)
Anyone as organized as a Prussian general will definitely let you know in time. :) And, yes, I would definitely hope to treat if I didn't sign up.
