With considerable regret guys, I think I'd better drop out of this game. I'm very sorry - particularly if Ironhawk's already done the map (hope not!). I just realised that I don't reliably get to the computer in the evenings these days - it often takes me a few days to get round to some five-minute e-mail or llamaserver fix, so I don't think I'd be a reliable player in a game of this size. Basically I think I would be hoping to lose so that I didn't get into the mid/endgame, which of course is a ridiculous way to play.

I'm getting a new laptop soon, which I will put in my own room; my computer's currently in the lounge and basically people constantly come and talk to me when I'm doing stuff on it (I live in a shared house). Lovely and very sociable, but leads to little computer time. Hopefully once I have the new computer I may find the time to join a game again with some of you.

Sorry again Corwin and Ironhawk for dropping out at a very unhelpful moment.
