I don't even see why this is an issue. It's turn 43. My turns are complicated, as I'm sure the other people that are in wars are too. I have other commitments than just this game, and at best you save TWO turns.

If you can't understand that, then you have no business being admin.

I suggested you read the rules we agreed, which explained why the motion failed. Since you didn't, I'll repost:

"All active players will then vote to either (A) Permanently extend the game timer, (B) Keep the game timer as-is, or (C) Abstain. Quorum shall be 75% of ACTIVE players. Majority vote wins. Should a vote fail, no further vote shall be held for 3 turns."

We have *14* active players. *Six* is not the *11* votes needed.
I gave valid reasons for prefering to wait two more turns, but it isn't what any one player wants that matters.

The last time there was a vote, the exact same procedure was followed. You didn't give cleveland a problem - why are you giving me one?

Edit:
Calahan: At the time of the vote we had 14 players. We lost one player, and stattis voted after the turn processed (and no one in this discussion staled).

But I would be happy to have Calahan take up admin duties, if he's willing to accept.

Look, this is what I suggest:

I have no problem in stepping down as admin and letting Fakey admin. I sent an email to that effect to Fakey.

In the interrim, it now looks as if the quorum of people want to extend the timer, (something that wasn't true at the start of this debate).

I'd like to suggest we just stay with the current schedule until June 3rd, and then switch to 48 hrs. But if thats not amenable then we can switch, now by all means.

I disagree. The vote which moved for a change to 48 hours should be honored right away.

The vote technically *lost*, but timer changed to 48.
