Can Tauren do your turn for you?

I did the turn for my partner, Arc, since he is moving and his computer is still packed away.

[King Lear]

Sorry Panther, I think he died. Its very sad. Must have been a hard province. Now, where are you at? Does the loss of your pretender cripple your forces... hm.

[Zooko]

So, we're down to three hours on the 48 hour quickhost clock. Are you guys going to make your moves, or persuade someone else to do it for you? I already allowed Turin to miss his turn, in keeping with my announced policy of not-stopping-the-clock, so it would be somewhat unfair if I now relented and stopped the clock so that you guys wouldn't miss your turns.

We may even want to consider restarting this game. I would hate to win or lose because someone's target didn't play the first X turns.

[Zooko]

Panther and Tauren missed their turn.

Yes, I'm open to restarting this game. I had thought that with the team-mate aspect of it that we could be merciless with the clock and people would still be able to make all their turns (or least all of their first ten!).

But things are never so simple, eh?

If Turin, Panther, and Tauren ask for a restart, I'll do it. I'll recreate the ftherland file and reinstall the Pretender files that you guys already uploaded, so that there will be new random Independents and random magic sites and all that, but nobody will need to re-upload Pretenders.

[Hubris]

Well, we need to reconsider timing and stuff. If they're missing their turns now, they're going to miss them tomorrow and the day after as well most likely.

We need some assurances from everyone that they're playing and not going to stale their first turns again, or we need to find new teams.

[Turin]

One missed turn isn´t a big deal. I vote for continuing. If Panther and tauren both aren´t able to make their turns though in subsequent turns we should restart.

By the way, Panther is still at the top of the Hall of Fame, with only one death, beating out the upstart Peneios.
