Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
My computer died! I lost my email! And dom3!  I'm stuck in the unfortunate situation of being unable to retrieve any of the turn files to actually do any turns or any stories, it seems.  At least I can keep my email so Llamaserver will continue sending me new turns.

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
Man, that must suck
At least your uptodate for this turn so you won't lose any momentum  Just hollar if you need more time to take this next turn.
Still waiting to hear from NKIcan in case any of you see him in the IRC room. Guess I'll postpone another 24 hours then consider hunting down a sub. He hasn't posted anything yet and he -has- taken every single turn up until 3 turns ago so maybe someone can be tempted into taking the role of the lizards.

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
What's happening with the turns? I could've sworn on Thursday (or was it Wednesday? If so, add another link to this chain)I should have the .trn file. I check my email and I don't. I check Llamaserver and the turn seems to be postponed to Friday. So I check my email on Friday, then Llamaserver, and now it's postponed to Saturday. When will this turn end?!

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
No, the game is not trapped in a never-ending timeloop. I've just been busy this past couple of days so I've been postponing every 24 hours. No replies yet and still no turns from Pangaea/C'tis so I'll start looking for possible replacements. With luck we should be on track to resume within a week.

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
I haven't been able to access this site or dom3 for a week, I was on vacation and had some issues with my home computer. While I am back now, I don't think I have time for this game anymore, so you should probably still look for a replacement.

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
Aw, are you sure? Sorry to see ya go BigandScary, but I understand completely. It can be hard enough finding time for regular games without all the writing involved. In other news, looks like Llama server crashed on Sunday, though it doesn't look like we'll be setback or anything. Actually kind of fortunate because I forgot to postpone the game another 24 hours today so we would've hosted if the site had been up

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
I would like to politely request that an effort be made to keep the game on track. We're about a week and a half since the last turn, and 4 months(!) since people signed up while we're only on turn 10. Big breaks tend to derail games as people loose interest and have other things come up in life. Stales suck, but there's not really many reasonable reasons not to take 5 minutes to handle the critical parts of your turn, we're not even out of year one yet.
Again, don't want to sound like a jerk, just a gentle reminder that pacing is an important part of the fun of the game.

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
First--why'd you have to go, BigandScary (well, I already know, but still)? I'll miss your, well, your prologue I guess.
Also, I agree with Baalz--this game was supposed to be slow originally, but at this point it's getting a bit (only a bit! We're not at the 'laugh-at-a-decade-from-now' or 'try-desperately-to-forget-ever-happened' stage yet) comical. At this stage (for me at least) doing my turn and writing a huge, giant story (the kind I'm prone to posting) could probably take at most three hours, and that's for a really big story with a writer's block larger than Austria.
Edit: Also trying not to sound like a douche. Hopefully I succeeded.

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
With a creative writing class and poli-sci I have more writing to do than I can deal with. Any extra time is put into learning latin. I have been able to do the turns, but the writing has simply eluded me. I'm already so far behind, and I seriously doubt that I could catch up, which is why I think that a replacement is a good idea.

Re: Chronicles_EA: Second-pass Signup and Discussion
Ah, so your excuse is having more important things to write.  It's fine. A prologue is better than nothing, at least (and I think there are a couple nations still out there with nothing, due to real life, laziness, or perhaps both).
