Default Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Newish Player Game [game started]

Speaking of delays, what's the policy on potential delays, such as weekend get-a-ways, or even longer vacations? Getting towards summer here in the top half of the world, I know I'll be looking to take some time off now and again.

By the way, I see graphs are off. Is that typical in Llamaserver MP play?

I am perfectly understanding that life is a higher priority than the game.

Delays are granted when requested, unless you are asking for over a week or more. Then I'll consider the situation. Its best that if you know ahead of time that you'll be absent for more than a week to find a substitute to play in your place while you're away so we can keep the game moving forwards.

Graphs off is just my preference. It's nothing to do with using Llamaserver. It makes diplomacy and scouting important, and adds a "fog of war" on things like army size and research, etc. I do dislike the fact that you can't see the VPs as a result, but it's generally known by talking to neighbors and alliance members who's holding which capitols.

That sounds more than fair. I for one wouldn't expect the game to go on hold for as much as a week - a couple of days tops, I figured - at least at this early stage in the game. Maybe later when the field has been winnowed down substantially. Of course, I doubt I'll still be around at that stage

I'd be telling the person to try and find a sub, but if they can't, it'd be just as game ruining to make a player stale three times in a row when you know they'll be back ...
