Don't count me out, I'll be able to submit a turn probably as early as Monday, Tuesday at the latest. Yes, I too would like to see some large battles and high level summons. I haven't lost interest in the game.
I've not missed a turn in ages and I don't plan to. I don't believe there's really any reason to quit until there are real problems, more than just a week's delay.
