In particular, I will be traveling late thursday night and not be back until sometime sunday - which takes me away from my computer. So, I'd like to request the possible delay of an appropriate turn until Monday. (If I get a turn file on thursday early enough to look at it, i'll try to get that turn submitted, so then it'd be the next one I'd want delayed). It may work out that no turns need to actually be delayed, but better safe than sorry.

I'll post again on thursday before i leave with more accurate information about which turn likely needs to be delayed.

Sadly, I feel compelled to second this request. I will also be travelling the exact same days; I do expect connectivity, but I've learned the hard way that nothing is certain.

If no one else requires a delay, the noob alternates may be available to sub, if not, we will delay approriately.

Well, I can certainly give detailed instructions on what to do. What I need is an automated script to hand out my orders. Heck, I could probably just send my turn file to another n00b player with instructions if you're unwilling to grant the delay. What I really don't want is someone else making decisions that mess up what I'm doing, and I think I'm a lot more comfortable with my units' capabilities than someone who didn't do a bunch of 1st year run throughs will be.

I think that I'll be able to do my turns over the break - as I expect uninterrupted access while traveling.

However, safest thing to do would be just to shut off the timer over the weekend, and let people QH if available. If the game lags, get alternates to do sub turns for those who haven't submitted turns.

delaying over the weekend seems reasonable to me. I'll be out of town myself on the 4th. It's only what, an extra 24 hours?

Hey guys, sorry for being out of contact. My computer has received a nasty virus (system security is the DEVIL), and I am reduced to posting in safe mode. I would offer to find a sub, but my internet access is sporatic at best. I'm really sorry about this, and incredibly frustrated at present. When this is all over, I'm excited to play in future games.

You have a sub (me). Don't worry about it - I get to find out just how awesome Shinuyama is.

No problem. I can understand how you feel. We will delay appropriately over the weekend. If you, or anyone else who'll be absent most of the weekend feels comfortable with any of the alternates taking your position(s) temporarily, please contact them and arrange it, then let me know. I believe rdonj is also available to the noob team on a limited basis in emergency situations.

I am available on a very limited basis, if the game will die without a sub.

So I thought it might be interesting to keep a tally as the game goes on of how much of a gem/gold disparity is racked up. Unfortunately I did not think of this before now, so I don't have the data for turns 1-4.

This is the collective incomes for each team on turn 5:

Team Noob gold income: 12,400
Team Noob gem income: 72

Team Vet gold income: 5,278
Team vet gem income: 32

I'm going to try to keep my information up to date until the end of the game, but I would not be surprised if I miss a turn or two. Anyway, I don't think this information is really going to be all that useful for anything, I just thought it would be fun to know.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 03:36 PM.
