I think he's gone. Personally, I say put him on AI now. Call me heartless, but I don't really want to wait another 30 hours!

Pangea -> AI
 

Yup, I've done so now. Too bad, his game looked really nice. Cool pretender! Nice championship tournament, too, BTW. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Gem trade
 

The nation of Man would like to trade her surplus death gems for air and fire gems. PM me if interested.

Re: Gem trade
 

I've moved back to France for one week and a half, but I'm currently locked up behind an awful connection, which means I cannot take my turns until Jan 6. Oops. (More accurately, I can only do HTTP connections, and nothing else. PBEM would work (and be a major pain), but TCP/IP is out of the window.)

Given that I was in a fairly good position (unless something bad happened during the turns I missed), I wouldn't recommend setting me to AI (especially as I border Pangaea, already AI).

On the other hand, one week and a half is a pretty long time to wait, and I've already held up the game on most turns in December. So, I'd suggest trying to find a permanent sub for my T'ien Ch'i. If nobody objects, giving my nation to one of the defeated players might be a good idea.

In any event, I apologize for the problems, and I hope you'll find a workeable solution.

guys, what are we going to do with Tien Chi?

Re: Gem trade
 

Assuming the game has run as usual (I can't check), I've missed four or five turns and I'll miss a couple more before I'm back in action. AI Pangaea has been a nuisance and has some big armies, so I'd expect Pangaea to have the upper hand now, and to do a pretty good job at holding down the T'ien Ch'i provinces. (You should be able to check out the Provinces chart to see what's going on over there.)

So, assuming I *have* missed several turns, I'd just set T'ien Ch'i to AI to provide for some minor resistance against Pangaea (the AI doesn't play T'ien Ch'i very well, though, and I've been relying on magic), or just let T'ien Ch'i stale. In any event, all neighbors should be aware that they may find themselves with an AI Pangaea on their borders with access to T'ien Ch'i pretty good gold income and gems.

Again, I'm sorry for the hassle. I hope Pangaea will help avoid the 'jump in for an easy kill and get some nifty provinces' effect.

i don't think you have, can't remember when the last turn was, but it has been a while now... before christmas i think.. I don't know what is happening.

Game timers
 

I have stopped the timers for all my games on the 24th of December, and I will resume the timers for the games on the 2nd of January again, which is in less than 24 hours. Although for this game you might want to wait until the 6th to allow Alneyan to play again.

Re: Game timers
 

Yeah we might as well wait for him

Re: Game timers
 

I've just checked the calendar and it turns out I'm actually going back on the 4th (I thought it was the 5th). So, I should send my turn on Jan 5, probably before 02:00 GMT and definitely by 12:00.
