I have flipped Lanka to AI.

It must be obvious to many but I wonder if everyone know that this game can be played via a simple USB key, and so from any computer ?

It only takes 500Mo or so and doesnt need an uber quad-core nvidia-buffed machine, so basically any of you who goes on a trip and have any acces to internet during his trip should be able to play. At least if he wants to

Again, I may be stating the obvious

I'm starting to forget to check this game, not that it really matters. I just checked it for the first time in 2-3 days, and it still hasn't come to a new turn.

What was I doing this turn? I don't remember exactly...

Tuidjy, if you get a chance, could you let us know how things are and when you may be back from your trip? People have been asking about you.

Also, I found a funny bug. When I click on EA Sauro's flag in the screen with all the colored flags where it says "GlobalWar Turn 25", the game crashes. Does this happen for anyone else? The game does not crash if I click on anyone else's flag.

Just thought the game header needed updating

Can't we all just get along instead?

I'm sorry you reached that point Indy, more so since I'm really interested in this game.

This leads me to some questions (vote?) I'd like to ask :

1/ Would it be so hard to have all good subing for each other if needed since they're already allied and can share everything in the game ?

2/ Can we put back the timer and NEVER EVER, under any circumstance, put it off again ?

3/ Can anyone who knows he's going out for a trip (business or not) decide in advance if he's going to be able to play or please please warn us in advance so we can look for a sub?
And as I said in a previous post, the game can be played via a simple USB key on any computer with internet access.

Again, I'm not trying to stress anyone. I'm just looking for solutions to avoid losing fast-playing motivated players.

Hi Kheldron,

This has been a learning game for the balance of the format for the game organiser. I can see why he has kept stopping the timer. But I think in general it has been a mistake as the game has drifted a lot.

And once you have started stopping the game for one person you it's hard to then refuse another request. And looking at the boards it seems fairly hard to get subs, especially temporary ones (??)

But perhaps the stopping is something not to be done again unless everyone has signed up for a relaxed game?

Let me know if you guys want me to force host Pythium, that should get the ball rolling again.

The server seems to be down anyway.

Also, I've been wondering, if Tuidjy does not return for a while, maybe CU could sub for Tuidjy since he is on the same machine...
