[Septimius Severus]

We are moving forward! Onward! Upward! I say. We can and we shall live with the results of the double host. It really is not a big deal. Now lets get our turns in and concentrate on future actions. Current turn = 37. There is blood to be spilled and a victor to be declared. Let us look forward rather than back. And for those of you who don't quite know what to do with your extra gold, you may send it to me, care of Fomoria. I will know how best to use it. If anyone needs a replacement turn 37 (the last .trn in your inbox) or is unsure of something, ask Gandalf or myself and it will be sent to you.

With regard to cutting the middleman out (me) well that sort of weakens my over all control of things and can result in a nightmarishly confusing situation where every player in the game sends a delay request to Gandalf, resulting in the need for clarification from Gandalf on the total delay or else in turns running on forever. We need to balance liberality of delays with the need to actually keep the game from getting mired in endless delays and rollbacks. As admin that is generally my job.

Gandalf is working on a system to get me direct control so this may be a moot question. Failing that, yes, we could work out something where the delay request comes directly to Gandalf from say the Captain's only. But as I say, it will probably not be neccessary, I am online enough that if I have direct control of the server I can handle most delays myself without bothering Gandalf.
