I'll be leaving for a week starting the 6th, I intend to have my laptop with me, but in light of the modern necessity of travel, and having delayed a game or two, in my time I think we can wait a couple of days for the stragglers.

But I suppose its up to cleveland, since he's got the mojo.

Rabe the Vague on his Strategy

I know it's frustrating, but these delays are expected this time of year.

I've contacted both licker (of Abysia) and Nikelaos (of Tien Chi) via PM. They're both great players with embattled nations; I'd hate to see either set AI.

Since licker stated he'd be back on the 5th, I'll postpone hosting until 20:00 GMT on the 6th. If I don't get PM replies 24hrs prior to hosting, I'll advertise for subs.

Thanks for your patience, and Happy New Year!

Well this is annoying.

My understanding was that there would be a long enough pause for me to not have missed any turns.

Since that didn't happen I will go AI as my position is now completely untenable.

I must have misread something somewhere, but no big deal really, my position was hopeless anyway.

licker,

The original holiday start date of Dec 23 was announced several months ago. I would certainly have accommodated any requests for an earlier start date; however, I don't recall ever receiving one. But the break did begin early: the game was halted immediately after another player noticed both you and TC were missing turns (in my deficiency as an admin, I wasn't monitoring the staling log).

Please accept my apologies for the annoyance, and my commendations on a well fought game.

Sincerely,
cleveland

Everyone,

I'm going to immediately advertise for a replacement for Tien Chi. If no replacement is found by the deadline, TC will be set AI. There will be no further delays.

For the record, Man & Abysia have been at peace for the past 6 (maybe 7?) turns. Man has not benefited from Abysia's absence in any way.

Cheers,
cleveland

Pangaea would like to inform that Arcoscephale has voided our previous agreement of non-aggression without giving the agreed notice.

chrispedersen · #6 January 6th, 2009, 11:13 AM

To one and all: Hail. The new king of Arcocephale greets you.
And I would like it to be known that I had nothing to do with such a despicale action Pangaeia.

To all nations, please do communicate with me directly to inform me of my obligations. Pangaiea specifically, please let us speak directly on what has occured, and how to repair matters.

Best wishes to all.

Captain of the Golden Arc

OK, we're back up and running! A few announcements:

1) stattis has graciously taken over command of Tien Chi.

2) chrispedersen has graciously taken over command of Arcoscephale. He has not yet played a turn, so cut him some slack if his predecessor decided to break a NAP.

3) Since it's the first turn back from a long break and we have some new faces, 24hrs is being added to give everyone a chance to get their bearings back.

chrispedersen · #8 January 6th, 2009, 10:30 PM

Hmmm... you know its evil and underhanded when you break a NAP.

Its evil, underhanded and incompetent when you can't profit from it!

I hear the pipes of Pan... I just haven't found them...Paging pan!

Unfortunately, it will be necessary to delay the game yet again.

chrispedersen, who has my sincere appreciation for volunteering to take over Arcoscephale, can no longer take over the position.

If Arco weren't newly involved in a war with Pangaea, I'd be tempted to allow him to stale while a sub is found. But it's a strong nation, and I think a swift dispatch at the hands of Pangaea would be overly disruptive to the game.

Please accept my apologies for the delay. I will begin a sub-search immediately.
