Ok, I have to appologize here, I PM'd Septimius (I think) but haven't heard back from him and thought I'd post in the thread so people know whats going on.

It looks like I may not have time for this game unfortunately thanks to a few separate events. First off you may have seen on the news that Atlanta Georgia has been hit pretty hard by a flood. Just check out Youtube and do a search for "Sixflags flooded" I live just about 10 mins from there (When traffic is normal) and I am currently working about 2 miles from there.

I have been transfered to this new job where we are working 12 hours 7 days a week and they are now talking about moving to 14 hours for a while because we lost a number of days when we just simply could not get to work at all because of the flood and are behind. And of course after that long day I have the fun of trying to get home when most of the roads that I normaly take are washed out and I do not know when they will be open again so it means everyone is now taking the same few roads that are open which were already normally fairly busy. And so now what should be a ten minute drive to and from work can take more like 2 hours on top of working 12 or 14 hours.

I just do not see how I will have time to devote to this game until things settle back down to normal. I'm sorry, but I just could not forsee something like my city getting flooded and the repercussions of such thing when I signed up for the game. If it was a non team game I might could pull it off but not something where I will have to sit down and cooridinate with other people and get everything planned out which would take significantly more time. I MIGHT could manage if I were not team leader and someone else took that responsibility but it is just not feasible for me to lead any kind of team right now and devote extra time to trying to strategize with other people..

The only good thing I can say about the whole situation is that I'm glad some of my family members were sick 2 weeks ago when I asked them if they wanted to go to sixflags and I was going to buy a season pass.
