Hi folks.

I'm afraid I've staled several turns and dropped all diplomatic communications over the Last couple of weeks. I'm posting the current explanation/apology in a number of game threads and e-mails at the moment.

I seem to have overloaded myself with games, but done it in such a gradual way that I didn't notice until I went abroad on holiday. The holiday was very nice, but I found when I came to settle up that I'd run up an internet access bill that was bigger than my bar bill in trying to keep up with my games. The rhythm I'd got into pre-holiday was completely disrupted, and I missed a large number of deadlines in different games during the week after I came back.

I've now, mostly, got my game schedule re-organised and running again. Sorry to everyone for the half-assed way I've been playing this one recently, and I hope to give it more attention from now on. And sorry to Vanheim for bashing you - Mictlan made me do it!

Mark
