Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 56)
I'm sorry folks to say that, but I must
request for the game to be put on hold! I'm looking for a replacement player for Machaka !
Atm. I'm self-employed and I'll have to undergo some minor surgery soon. Ambulant, I hope. Nevertheless, my working shedule is already messed up, and I can't simple take a sick-leave from several projects I'm committed to.
As you may have noticed, I already had some stale turns, either from being unable to do the turn in time because of acute pain attack or being under pain killers, or because I was simply still doing some serious work which got delayed.
Especially unfortunate is the fact that writing all the diplomatic messages I intended to send around turns out to be real hard work which I can't bear atm.. You may have noticed English isn't my first language, and to write elaborate treatises, carefully worded diplomatic messages or simply role-playing on the wiki board is not that easy for me.
Again, I'm sorry. But the only alternative would be to turn the nation over to the AI, which I'm reluctant to do because this tends to ruin the game for the emidiate neighbours in one or the other way.
Thanks.
Stefan
