Default Re: Turn 31

Sorry I have to say that, but quant is right.

In your last email, Panther, you told everyone the game would host on Sunday evening:

Quote:
It would appear that Puffyn is out of town until Monday. I will see if Alneyan will do the current turn for Mictlan. If so, we will host on Sunday evening, which will get us back to the Sun/Tues/Thurs schedule.

And, obviously, it was not only me who didn't figure that you were talking about the next hosting. If I hadn't send my turn file already on Thursday evening, I would have send it now, instead of writing this posting, believing I still would have some hours before you host.

Considering the fact that you have now twice violated a directive of the Council, I think you are not really much into this game. I have to agree that a sub would be much better at this point for all concerned.
.. so you start mixing in- and out-game behaviour in an argument to tell a player to leave the game?

Let me give a warning to everyone: I told you all before - do not mix the wyrmy council stuff etc. with game rules and player's affairs. It is perfectly 'legal' for a player not to care at all about the council stuff, as long as he adheres to the rules the game was set up with (e.g. tell everyone if his pretenders dies or is resurrected). If a player chooses not to follow the 'laws' issued by the council, it's his strategical and tactical decision, on which the other players can and should respond appropiatly - in game, not out of it.

As I have no intention to get caught up the the unevitable childish bickering that will ensue if we start discussing in-game behaviour on player, and therefore personal level, I will leave the game without further notice if I ever see that happen again.


Yes, this is intended to put pressure on everyone to think twice about what statements and accusations he posts here. Sorry I have to do that, but I don't have time to wast on a game where players start hurling insults at each other as soon as the first real in-game confrontations happen. Really.
