AranMP game (renamed)

[ywl]

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

Patch out!

Download it but do _not_ install it yet.

We will try to coordinate upgrading with the other game going on in this forum, as there are some of us present in both games.

I've been sub and seen sub before. He basically can't really make many major decision other than filling in the recruiting queue or allocating research points. At this stage, major war will occur any turn. So, if it's going to be on the hand of the other person, it's better that he know that he can make all the decisions (and suffer all the consequence ).

The point is more it's easier for me to get a replacement in such a short period than a sub.

Did you get my email about Rabe?

[Wendigo]

Yes, I got it, I just got a backlog of mails pending answering (sorry for delay), can barely keep pace with this forum also.

We shall upgrade after next hosting. I have R'lyeh & Ermor's turn files, need still Abysia, C'tis & Ulm _in_the_old_Version_.

Then I will host, upgrade, and send you all the next turn files which will be v2.06 (so I suggest you upgrade before viewing them).

Wan, if you prefer a replacement, a replacement will it be. Do you want your rep to start with this turn? If so send him the current .trn file.
