AranMP game (renamed)

Got it. It's just because of the holiday. I'll work on it and you should be able to host it tonight (your time)>

I will be travelling this weekend, leaving on Friday morning and returning some time Sunday.

Waiting for R'lyeh to host current turn (27?).

Cheers,
Pepe

I'm back, sorry for the absence.

Turn 29 in your mailboxes!

I'll be travelling from Jan 16th to Jan 25th. I'll be probably very busy and have limited access to network and computer.

So, could everybody hold the game for me, please?

Or if necessary, I can give up the game and have another player take over...

Ouch, that's a lot of time.

Could you afford a turn every 2-3 days? If so I would hold hosting waiting for it NP.

Otherwise I would rather have you look for substitute, as I do not want our players to lose interest in the game and that's what happens when they start to forget what they were doing & what were the plans.

Cheers,
Pepe

I can't.

Let's get somebody take over me. A few turns of substitute will be very unfair to the replacement player.

Why unfair? I have temporarily substituted, and been substituted myself NP. The key here is getting a sub that actually likes playing the nation in question. Contacting old opponents from previous games is a good way to do this.

Then you take the sub with the good & the bad, what he does is well done, regardless of whether it succeeds or you would have done something else...heck, sometimes the sub can even make a better show than the original player, or teach some tricks (has definitely happened to me), and comentting strategy/tactics is fun.

Whatever you decide we'll do, just don't be taken back from a temporary replacement, you can even keep your sub posted afterwards on the progress of the game, and have him still partake on your playing.

Besides, we are slowing down already to 4-5 turns/week, so it will be less turns than it would have been a couple weeks ago.

Cheers,
Pepe
