it's been almost 72 hours since StrictlyRockers, the last remaining player, has logged into the forums and posted.

he knows we're starting soon, yet hasn't mentioned he was going to be away. I can understand if someone is away, but as a game is trying to get started and during its early stages, its polite to let people know you won't be around at a certain time period. I say this especially because a game that goes slowly at this point will lose people's interest; that "hot and bothered" feeling (yes, I get h&b over games, i'm a strange guy). I've seen people slip out of a game half-heartedly because they lost interest because it moved so slow in the early stage; and I don't want that to happen here. I don't mind waiting, but its nice to know we're waiting for a good reason.

Strictly, please don't look at this too harshly; hell, if you live in Berkley, you probably have a hell of a fun life and lots of better things to be doing. Thus I don't hold it against you for not checking in regularly. Also, I'm not abandoning you yet, but its not fair to hold up the game for one person. Please get your pretender in ASAP so we can get started.

If Strictly doesn't get in by say tommorow night, would people be OK with starting without him? It'd be a game of 9 players then. We also have the option of picking up someone who asked to join after we were full. However that would delay the game a little more; which is what I want to avoid.

Hell, I need to put a notice an the organizing post that if you don't have your pretender in within a certain time-period after the uploading starts, you get left out or something. I understand that people have other issues or maybe an actual life, but its just not polite considering there are several people involved here.
