Chinchilla - Running

dmentd · #1 June 30th, 2007, 09:20 PM

I wanted to say that I am going to Vegas tomorrow, but will have my laptop with me (because work required it, grrrrr). I hope not to hold up the game too much, but time at Vegas seems to run together. I apologize ahead of time.

Also, I may not be really communicative at the beginning of the game because of this trip. Please don't hold that against me. Now, if you hold being in a city surrounded by beautiful people with little clothing, good food, booze, poker, and swimming pools against me, that I will understand.

Have a good game.

Have a good time in Vegas dmentd!

Yep, that's the right address. Do you mind if I make a strange request though - any chance you could edit that post to get rid of/mash up the address? Just because I don't want it getting picked up by too many spam bots. Thanks!

My new turn is sent too. Thanks llama*beast* for restarting. (Sorry about that 'bean' thing; old name I used to know on the net, slipped through the mental filters.)

Please note that I'm not opposed to mods; I just would prefer to know about them in advance, is all.

Hmm, "...communicative at the beginning..." --Is there some sort of etiquette for MP games? Should I have been sending "HiHowAreYou" messages to everyone, trying to butter them up to backsta--err, ally with them later on...? I wonder if I've just alienated everyone from the get-go? : )

I sent in my turn 3, but wanted to let you guys know that I wont be able to get any new turns done until thursday morning, because of the 4th of july. apologize for any delays.

I'll postpone the timer for you parcelt, if you're in any danger of staling.

Which reminds me of something I meant to ask before - I'd really like it if someone could volunteer to 'admin' this game. What that means is just that you'd handle situations like this - when someone posted to ask for a delay on the forum, you'd postpone the turn (a 10 second job). And later on in the game if the consensus is to extend to 48 hour turns, you'd do that. It's a really tiny job, but because there's 8 games running on the server now and more soon to be on the way, if I keep trying to run all of them I will quickly go mad.

The admin can all be done by the 'admin options' link on the game page on the website - I'd give whoever volunteers the password. It would be very much appreciated.
