Default Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!

I do have an objection to the game being delayed with no notice given. What's up?

This is the kind of thing that happens when it takes so long for a game to set up and get started. Already on turn 8 we have three drop outs!? WTF? LAME.

Maybe I'll go back to playing single player. At least the AI won't quit on me in the middle of a game... How is anyone expected to maintain interest in something like this??

Hey Strict,

I don't mind if you're hard on me, but real life intrudes on other people. The more people that are in the game, the harder it is for everyone to get every turn in all the time.

Which is why I say delays upon request. Its one day Strict.

Best

Chris

I think this is more of an exception to the norm, although who's supposed to set the admin to ai after he's staled twice? Or for that matter who will be the new game admin?

All I'm asking for is some explanation. I still have no clue what is going on or why the game is delayed. Is Chris bowing out as Hinnom? Is that why? Are we delaying because FakeyMcFake can't find a sub? Are we waiting for Arco to come back from his walkabout?

Those of us who are chronically clue impaired need to be told what is happening...preferably in advance of it happening, not afterward.
