@ All

Despite several attempts, I have had no luck in contacting Atlantis / Silence0. So I am currently looking for someone to assess the Atlantis position before deciding on the next course of action.

Apologies for not getting on the staling Atlantis case earlier, as they have staled far more times than I would normally let a nation stale as admin. Haven't had a chance to play catch-up on things until now due to a hectic work week that saw me lose my forum lurking ability

I hope to get an assessment soon, and will keep you all informed on Atlantis developments.

Atlantis Update -

WingedDog very kindly took a look at the Atlantis position for me earlier, and has said that a sub should be found for them if at all possible, as they are in no way a nation that should be turned AI. And neither are they putting up a last ditch defence, so a 'proper' sub if you were, should be found for them. So I've just posted for a sub, and will let you all know how that gets on.

Unfortunately, this does mean a delay is likely to be needed. And apologies again for not addressing this issue as soon as I usual would have. Since 48 hours have been wasted by me not having sorted this out at the start of the turn. Damn RL. I'll be adding 12 hours to the deadline shortly though, as I doubt there is any chance that a sub can be found, and an Atlantis turn submitted, before the deadline hits in ~8 hours.

Although it only took me 30 minutes to find the last sub I looked for though, so who knows

I just had a major brain fart. I saw the delay thing and went "Oh huh, wonder what the due date is now," and then I saw it was Wednesday! Wednesday, that's like four days from now!

And then I remembered today is Tuesday and not Saturday...

Well, ask and thou shall receive I think is in order here. I have managed to find a sub for Atlantis in the capable form of 'Phonics'.

So on behalf of everyone here, "Welcome to the world of CarCrash Phonics". Many thanks from us all for saving Atlantis from the dreaded AI.

Can everyone please let Phonics know about any NAP's etc you currently have with Atlantis.

I have also added 24 hours to the deadline to allow Phonics time to settle in and get those diplo PM's sorted out where necessary.

And.....

bloody hell, just 21 minutes to find a sub! ~30 minutes to find one last time, 21 minutes this time. Am I going through a sub finding purple patch or something??!

@ WraithLord (if he ever reads this) - I thought you were the King of sub-finding after your remarkable efforts in getting all those subs that allowed Artifacts to actually finish. But think I might have to take that crown off you given my current sub-finding form

Phonics · #**255** September 1st, 2009, 11:17 AM

Thanks for having me.

Time to figure out whats what and whos who, I'll submit my turn within the next 24h.

Calahan · #**256** September 5th, 2009, 06:30 AM

Sorry for needing the 8 hour delay everyone. I got in last night very late and worse for wear after a works leaving do. So I added a few hours in case this morning turned into a hangover recovery session instead of it's previously intended Dominions session. Which is probably what will happen now given how much my head is hurting

I should be able to finish and submit my turn before the end of the day though, a clear head at some point this afternoon being willing. And with the recent ending of my LA Ermor time vacuum in the 'Red Ruby' game, I should have a much better chance of keeping ahead of my turns from here on in.

I guess it's a good thing your the admin. If you weren't I think any other admin might get tired of all the delay's you would have apparently be asking for.

Hopefully your right about having more time now. I know MA Ermor can be a pretty big time Vacuum as it was in Faltering steps that I guess Ive won now and I'm sure LA Ermor is no exception. It takes a while to manage all those undead and summon bane's to command and all that good stuff.

Calahan · #**258** September 5th, 2009, 12:32 PM

Yes, I'm not really happy about the delays myself in all honesty. So I certainly apologise for them. A combination of lack of time and a busy work schedule druing August has seen most of my recent turns in this game being just basic maintenance.

But I did devote a lot of extra time to the 'Red Ruby' game over the past few weeks to get the game finished. Since I invested that extra time in order to avoid making any mistakes that could have given everyone a reason to continue it, which would have prolonged the game even further as a result. Definitely worked out to be a good time investment in the end though. I'm freeeee!!!

So the extra 2 hours per day on average (which is what Red Ruby was costing me) should enable me to stay with the pace on this one from now on.

Apologies again from the time deficient admin

Anyone want my Black Laurel? You can have it for frees!

Oh yeah, I'm going to be gone Saturday and Sunday, probably Calahan's Friday and Saturday due to timezone craziness. And my laptop is like way too heavy to be lugging around airports and hotels. Maybe I should look for a sub?

P.S. I don't mind the delays Calahan.

Calahan · #**260** September 8th, 2009, 10:03 AM

Are you going away just for the weekend tgbob? or is it more of a permanent upheaval? Since if it is just for the weekend, then that's exactly what delays are meant for

If you think/want to get a sub for a turn instead, then that's fine. But if you want a delay for the weekend while you are away, then that's fine by me as well.
