Default Re: Casual PBEM (looking for players)

I like a fairly rigid hosting schedule. If someone misses the deadline without prior warning that they will do so, then tough luck. A stale is rarely fatal. Multiple stales, well, usually when someone doesn't do their turns on time it's going to stay that way - until they drop out completely that is.

There are exceptions to this, certainly, but delaying the game a lot is generally bad.

I agree... I think 48 hours + 24 hours is more than fair. In terms of replacements, I think staling multiple times (with nothing said) is ground for this. I see no need to start again, however.

I'd like to keep the game moving along; I know I tend to start to forget about the game when I go for more than a couple days without getting a turn. That said, I totally forgot to check the "dominions" mail folder last night

(Oceania, not Vanheim)

yup... well, I am quite excited as this is my first MP game, and I'm hosting it.. so I find myself checking a couple of times a day even (if I'm not out). So, the faster the better of course!

Anyway, 9 of 16 turns in.

that's ok, don't think I'll be hosting this one and the next one before Friday evening..
I am a bit worried about Vanheim, he hasn't contacted me yet.

currently 13/16 turns in.
Waiting for Arco, R'Lyeh and Vanheim
