I'm not quite sure if you are asking for a 1-turn or 2-turn rollback.

I could probably support a 1-turn rollback - but not 2 turns. Not only would that be playing with fire (I'm guessing there would be a pretty significant risk that the whole game would explode in some way), but I put an awful lot of time into preparing those turns, and I really do not want to have to recreate it all. If we just roll back to make it turn 55 again, I can just resubmit my existing .2h file.

1 turn, 2 turn is playing with total and utter fire.

I am OK with a 1-turn rollback. I think every remaining major power ought to be able to veto the rollback, so you should pm Gurthang to make sure he sees this.

I just read the discussion. I dislike rollbacks but I won't object to one, even if there was an important battle (where I was duly trashed) in 77 this turn, and even if I just sent turn 56. Shortly, I will accept your decisions.

However, I will be abroad this weekend. Whatever your decision I will try to do my turn tomorrow afternoon, but in case I am unable to, next hosting should be set at Monday evening.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No replies?

Whichever your decision, I won't be able to do my turn before Monday evening. I must beg for a delay in hosting.

A bit more communication would help here.

If you (Mightypeon) are particularly busy with real-life concerns for awhile, let us know and we'll be quite understanding. But if you are just growing disinterested because the game is not turning out how you had hoped - well, there is a certain level of responsibility that goes with organizing a game and being the admin.

Mightypeon · #**247** March 2nd, 2012, 02:54 PM

I did Delay, and yes, I am very busy with real life. I fairly suddenly have to work for supporting 2 people (as opposed to just me) and it shows....

I will rollback then, but If anyone is interested in taking over admin duties I can most certainly send him the password.

Concerning "giving up", I would currently rate Shinus chances of winning at about 65-70% (better strategic positions and shown very good generalship) my chances at 10-15% and Caelums chances at similiar levels. As chances of winning were also at around 10-15% when the game started, the current situation is no reason to give up.

I can take over as admin, if you want. We will need to know what kind of hosting schedule you think you can maintain. And you will probably need to give me at least 12 hours notice when you need a timer extension.

Mightypeon · #**250** March 4th, 2012, 03:06 PM

That sounds great, I can propably manage 72 hours.
