NEW EA GAME - Server Is Up. Game has started.

[Xox]

Chris please stay in. You are doing a fine job hosting, your only fault is not being firm enough about not restarting.

The game is fine. the wierdness about restarting has gotten too unfun and thats why I always say the game policy should always be, ***host rules*** and just leave it at that.

I vote for no restart if that matters and lets end the discussion and continue playing.

I would have voted before and almost did, but I don't think this sort of thing should be encouraged, for just this reason.

And lastly,

Demon Blood Monkey's Uber Alles!!!!!!

The problem here is that people are jumping to conclusions. The events that took place offer very little indication of foul play if any. I feel it's not very nice to just assume someone is screwing the rest over for their own gain if it looks like it even just a little bit.

To the people crying foul: did you play in more games hosted by Chris? Did he pull stunts like what you are supposedly seeing here all the time? No? Maybe you should learn about a little thing called the benefit of the doubt. Seriously, if I didn't apply that in my life as often as I did, I'd be in an fight with more than half the people I know by now.

Well he did drop out kingmaker in 2 turns

anyway what is with Jazzepi now? Is he out?

Maybe extend the next turn 24 hours so we can settle all things nicely talk you out of leaving or give you time to leave etc etc...

I'd not mind an extension since I'm having login problem (not technical, but time wise due to a sudden attack of having a life (not used to that))

[chrispedersen]

Make no mistake, I'd rather keep playing. But if there are any hard feelings or anyone feeling slighted I am happy to relinquish my position to

Calahan, who has volunteered to assume the position =).

I haven't found anyone (yet) to host, with Velusion away and Ich down. But I was thinking of asking Gandalf.

Now, this is your last chance- after this I cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war.

On other topics, Aezeal has requested to delay the next turn (by which I think he means the turn after the one running in 2 hours, which he has already submitted).

So, if he does not get a turn in by midnight tomorrow, I will delay that turn 24 hours.

Best,

Chris

Please continue chris.

The main incentive to put up with all the administrative headaches of hosting is have a game to play in with settings and rules just the way you like. I would hate to see a trend start where it is considered inappropriate to play in the same game as you are hosting.

As it is we do not have enough games being hosted, especially network games. I think we all want to encourage hosting, rahter than discourage it.

[chrispedersen]

Cadel are you getting turns etc. ok?

[StrictlyRockers]

I think you should continue playing, Chris. You are doing great, and there is no reason for you to feel compelled to step down from the game. Let me be quite clear here, you totally squished Vanheim with that dragon. No doubt about it, you clobbered me. Sometimes you are the windshield, and sometimes you are the bug.

I don't really feel like your decision on the voting was influenced by your position in the game. So if that is why you are quitting, don't! Enjoy the fruits of war.

Xox has cast another vote in favor of continuing. I agree with his post that this kind of thing should be discouraged in general. I am just a very fair-minded person, and it sure looked like there were a majority of votes cast in favor of a restart. As a fair-minded person, I hardly think it's fair to you for you to relinquish your position as some kind of remedy.

If I should apologise for a brash jump to conclusions, then I am happy to do so. I think I will try to set up a server and host a game so I can see how much trouble it is to deal with everything. Then maybe I could have more to say.

A generous post Strict.
Thank you - I look forward to gaming with you in the future.

As Ulm has staled for the last 2 turns, has not answered the forum, and has not submitted a turn for this turn, I am going to offer the position to Calahan and Xanatos.

I have no idea if the position is valid. To tell the truth, I have no idea how to use the master password either = ). Learning experience.

For this reason, absent objection I am going to delay this turn pending a response.

Chris

[Aezeal]

no seems fine..

Though I want to mention the fact that Ulm might complain since I see no post you get ditched after two turns...

It's not quite as bad as getting ditched after 1 turn when 2 was said.. but similar and in the aforementioned case .. someone was complaining a great deal
