Another Newbie Slugfest - Restarted

deccan · #1 January 9th, 2005, 07:00 PM

A heads up to everyone: I am leaving on holiday on the 20th January. Ideally I would want to continue playing, but likely I will stale intermittently while I'm actually travelling (going from Solomon Islands -> Australia -> Malaysia -> Singapore). So I'd like to ask if any of the previously eliminated players, Beorne, Steerpike or Pasha would like to take over my position, either on a temporary or permanent basis. Thanks.

The 20th of January is still 10 days away Deccan, thats potentially quite a few turns yet.
I would be happy to take over for you.
Are you in Australia for long?

Yeah, it's still quite far away, but I'm very busy at work right now as I have a lot of things to take care off before I leave.

I'll probably only spend a day in Brisbane. I remember walking around Brisbane CBD Last year looking for a Wi-Fi hotspot to play an MP game but couldn't find one.

Won't your absence give us problems when the server crashes?

Um, I knew that...

Actually, it is tough doing this while out of town for sure. Luckily, my daughter found us a Super 8 hotel in Sacramento this evening with free high speed internet access that was not overly expensive. So I got all my moves done in my 4 ongoing games. No stales yet!

Tomorrow, we are visiting the law school at the College of the Pacific in Sacramento and then on to San Francisco.

I like the idea of a sub for Deccan, for I would hate to see any stales during this massive war we are having. Though killing Steerpike for yet the third time might be rough on the dude.

Cheers

If you kill me, I will only come back stronger.
Not smarter thats for sure, but definately thicker skinned.

Indulging in some wishful thinking Panther?

Actually, I was thinking that I would prefer Steerpike taking over more than anyone else, as it would give him a second chance at kicking your ***.

I would vote to set the server for the period of Deccan's holiday on something like 10 days quickhost .
Then deccan could do his turn if he finds time + internet access during his holiday and if he doesn't find time then we just wait until he comes back from his holiday .

My estimation is that Deccan is in a really strong position and one of the 3 major powers atm . Having to give away that position now for some days or even forever is surely not what Deccan wants to do

.

So let's give Deccan the chance to enjoy his holidays without fearing to stale or the forcement to seek a sub or whatever

Not practical! I'm gone for five weeks! Haha. Actually, once I "settle down" a bit after an initial bout of travelling I could probably play if I tried. But I would still risk some intermittent stales.

*Blush* Now if Panther cuts my empire down to size before I can hand it over to Steerpike, I'd be very embarassed.

Don't worry too much about me. My position as a hyperpower in Argitoth's MP game is nicely satisfying my delusions of Dom2 grandeur. Truth to tell, I'm getting a bit bored with Dom2 and looking forward to getting some new games during my holidays, e.g. Rome: TW, Pirates!, Sims 2 etc. I'll still be around, but I'll probably only play like 1 or 2 games at any one time.
