Just a note to anyone who asks for a delay -
There are ~60 nations in the game. If you think you might want to ask for a delay at least once in any given 2 month period, that is exactly why no one wants to allow delays in this game.
I mean, you could just not process any turns at all, and imagine the whole game. That way everyone ends up a winner, and no one has to wait around for anything. If that's the case, I vote we start another megagame ASAP, so I can get in on it. <3
