Is Bandar Log throwing in the towel now that their cause is totally hopeless?

The pace of this game has become absolutely glacial. But I can't complain too much as I am about to embark on a cross country drive and expect to have intermittent Internet access for the next week or so.

I know....I'm seriously considering going AI cuz I hate moving every four or five days.

Yeah, K, what's going on?
Is this a temporary hold up, or just how long the turns are going to be taking?
Let us know what to expect.

I'm also going to be away on vacation next week. I'll take the laptop with and hope to have internet access, but it'll be intermittent and I'll be busy. I should be able to keep up, but will probably be slow to respond to diplomacy.

Being as how we have played 1 turn in the last week and a half, perhaps VFB should just host the game?

While it is a shame to stale someone, if we don't get back to a semblance of regularity, I think a number of players will likely drift away and the game will simply peter out.

[jimkehn]

I have no problem if someone is going on vacation and lets the rest of the group know ahead of time. After all, this isn't life. And life sometimes must interfere. But if there are no valid reasons, I have no desire to be in a game that takes 5 days to do a turn.

[thejeff]

Which is why I'm asking K what the situation is. If it's something that's ending soon, we can wait. If not, I don't know...
This long, while turns are still short for most of us, will make people drift away.

Given his dominant status, losing him or even forcing him to stale a few times would change the game drastically.

[jimkehn]

I agree, thejeff. I can wait if I know the player is sick or on vacation, or family is in town, etc. But if we are going to do just one turn a week.........justbecause........I'm not interested.
