R'lyeh attacked TC this past turn (my turn was submitted last night). Got back from the doctor's this afternoon and I see turn has hosted and TC staled again. I don't want to attack a staling player but I also don't want to have to change my plans because someone is not playing their turns. I don't care what we do with TC or if we even bother to continue this game.
DC ,
Sorry to hear you are burning out a bit. I am enjoying the game. First MP game I've tried that I took a balanced approach on and it feels much better roleplay-wise. (earlier strategies... "I've tried D10, W10, A10, N10.... hmmm... NOW let's see what *E* 10 plays like!..")

I will try to update the Wiki more. Thank you for your efforts.

A pity, I'd say. Our little dance just starts to really get interesting...
By the way, I'm voting absolutely against turning TC into AI. And who are other stalers?

I believe the pace is a little fast for this game. People are supposed to write something, but with the fast pace it seldom allow them to have the time writing anything. I suggest at least 72 hours with quickhost on.

I would love to read from Machaka / Otherling again. The first turns looked very promising to me and made it to the top of my list.

I think initially the idea was for 48hr per turns, with postings about 1/4 days (more often if author feelas up to it). It would allow to skip some of the turns when nothing really happened to concentrate on more interesting occurrences. Of course, Kristoffer have shown that there is plenty of possibility to fill even less interesting turns with internal matters. But I don't think that could be expected of everyone everytime...
I would also like to see how Machaka story would develop - and I'd add to it a Man story, which also had a promising start. As it is, I like Tien Chi and R'lyeh stories best for now...

Ok, hunt11 asked for a one week break so I am going to add 84 hours. I'll leave it up to players to ask for extensions or tell me when people are staling since it has been a bit of a drag tracking down players and trying to figure out if they are still in the game or want a sub, etc. Also, I repeat my offer to turn over admin duties...

It would be nice if players with only one or two entries can use this week's break to give us some updates on the wiki. If someone is not interested in writing anything more, then in the spirit of the game, it would probably be best for that player to look for a sub. There was once a lot of demand and interest in this game so I am guessing we could find some writers...

In that vein, I think I will go looking for a sub. My position isn't very good from a chance to win context, but there's plenty of writing opportunities.
