I have upcoming international travel 9/12 - 9/17 (US time). I should have excellent internet access during my trip, but just getting there and back will take ~24 hours each way, so I would like to request a temporary move to a 36 hour turn cycle.

Thank you for your understanding.

All right, I'll put us on 36 hour turns for now. Let us know when you're back, and I'll readjust.

Speaking of extensions, I will be going on a field trip to a 'Dig' in South America for part of my Grad school work in Anthropology starting Weds Sept 15th and will return Monday Sept 20th.

Obviously, because of the location in the jungle, I will not be able to get internet time and would ask for an extension for that period. I understand we are moving right along, but this was an unexpected opportunity (to be asked to go) and I need to take advantage of it.

If you don't or can't wait, I will try and find a sub. However, I am like Groundworm....TERRIBLE starting position, hit with a unrest even on turn 1 and just hit agian (unrest is now 68) with another. I will not quit on this game but have no delusions of of being a contender, and will try to use this game to learn something (and maybe poking a stick in simeones eye before I die).

So stales actually maight work in my favor.

I will be able to do a turn late Tuesday or VERY early Weds and another on the following Monday evening.

Let me know.

I say pause it or find a sub. Staling is always bad.

Ragnar- wrong game. This isn't the game where my starting province was struck by massive unrest.

I'll postpone the game when you need. Let me know when you're leaving, and I'll delay things for that period.

Greetings Gentlemen, how goes the war!! I just thought I would drop by as I saw Ragnar using my comp agian and had to remind him to use his own (as he took about 10 pounds of food out of my fridge and headed home...sigh).

Thanks Fantoman for helping these guys out, I wish I would have had that in my first game. I lasted all of 19 turns as Marverni...I was like a sheep in a wolves game. We have a $20 dollar bet that he won't make turn 20. Don't let me down guys, I'll NEVER hear the end of it!!!

Have a great game...

Groundworm is going to help me get a sub for the next week while I am gone (Thank You!!).

However we have a Nation that has staled 3 out of the six turns and you might want to put it on hold to find a permanent sub fot him as the guys around him will hew him up. Chelms id the Nation and I don't know if he has some problems or just doesn't understand how important making every turn is.

Sigh. I hadn't realized that camobeercan had been staling. That's very annoying. Any suggestions?

I've made a separate thread looking for a permanent sub for him, and a temporary sub for Ragnar. Thanks for the heads-up, Ragnar. I wonder why I wasn't getting messages about the stale turns? Has anyone else noticed this?

Should I delay the game until we get this sorted out?

Sephorin has been kind enough to sub for Ragnar while he's out at the end of this week. Thank you, Sephorin, and welcome!

This solves one problem, but still not quite sure what to do about Man.

Hello, all. I'm happy to fill in for a couple of days. Although, as I told Groundworm, I make no guarantees as to the quality of my turns.
