Wow -- not only did Arcoscephale hire Hannibal the Elephant Captain, but suddenly this month Arcoscephale's God Peneios of the Four Names leapt into the Hall of Fame!

My scouts have reported that Arcoscephale started in the South-Eastern Purple Province.

Does anyone else know something about this upstart Pretender?

Re: please don\'t miss your order this early in the
 

When is this next turn due?

And no, I don't know squat about the Arco pretender. I don't even know anything about my own pretender! How did he do? Is he at the top of the HoF now? Or did he die again? I can't even remember if I was attacking an easy province or the hard one!!!

Oh, the horrors of not having a computer to see what is happening!

By the way, my computer did not survive my move last weekend. I think moving 3 times in 9 months was just too much for the old thing. It appears I now have a computer with a non-functioning motherboard...

*Yuck*

14 hours

Can Tauren do your turn for you?

I did the turn for my partner, Arc, since he is moving and his computer is still packed away.

Sorry Panther, I think he died. Its very sad. Must have been a hard province. Now, where are you at? Does the loss of your pretender cripple your forces... hm.

So, we're down to three hours on the 48 hour quickhost clock. Are you guys going to make your moves, or persuade someone else to do it for you? I already allowed Turin to miss his turn, in keeping with my announced policy of not-stopping-the-clock, so it would be somewhat unfair if I now relented and stopped the clock so that you guys wouldn't miss your turns.

We may even want to consider restarting this game. I would hate to win or lose because someone's target didn't play the first X turns.

Re: please don\'t miss your order this early in the
 

Panther and Tauren missed their turn.

Yes, I'm open to restarting this game. I had thought that with the team-mate aspect of it that we could be merciless with the clock and people would still be able to make all their turns (or least all of their first ten!).

But things are never so simple, eh?

If Turin, Panther, and Tauren ask for a restart, I'll do it. I'll recreate the ftherland file and reinstall the Pretender files that you guys already uploaded, so that there will be new random Independents and random magic sites and all that, but nobody will need to re-upload Pretenders.

Re: please don\'t miss your order this early in the
 

Well, we need to reconsider timing and stuff. If they're missing their turns now, they're going to miss them tomorrow and the day after as well most likely.

We need some assurances from everyone that they're playing and not going to stale their first turns again, or we need to find new teams.

Re: please don\'t miss your order this early in the
 

One missed turn isn´t a big deal. I vote for continuing. If Panther and tauren both aren´t able to make their turns though in subsequent turns we should restart.

By the way, Panther is still at the top of the Hall of Fame, with only one death, beating out the upstart Peneios.
