Here is the current list of who sent pretenders.

1. Shmonk: YES
2. Huntsman: Dropping Out?
3. RonD: YES
4. GriffinOfBuerrig: YES
5. Sedna: YES
6. Izaqyos: YES
7. Goblin: YES
8. Turin: YES
9. Jurri: YES
10. Cainehill: YES
11. The Panther: YES
12. Tauren: YES
13. Alneyan: YES, but dropping Out?
14. Bill Paxton: YES
15. Boron: YES
16. Arkas: NO (but, it's coming)
17. King Lear: NO - he tried but no attachment (I sent reminder.)

It seems to me that the best thing would be to postpone the start of the game until after I return (but that would realistically be either Wednesday or Thursday of next week). That way, Huntsman can play. Also, I suggest that Whollaborg should take over Alneyan's slot, since Alneyan would prefer to not play. That will give you 17 players.

Nonetheless, I am happy starting the game before I leave. The trick is dealing with turns while I am away.
