Bad news, people. I had hoped my tour of duty abroad was over, but I have been called to Denmark once again for 5 days today. I already fly out tomorrow morning and will be back on the 14th.
I have no access to Dominions in the mean time unfortunately.
It hampers our game, just as we were getting ahead full steam again, I am sorry.
I would like to postpone the game until then as I have no time to find a sub.

If people want to bail out because of this and our previous problems, please discuss this with Grudge.
Grudge would you take care of things once again, please?
I have already set the game on hold in Llama.

Sorry guys, but I did not expect this either.

Would you object to us looking for a sub?

I don't know if you're at war or have other plans you don't want a uninformed sub to mess up.

We may have trouble finding one anyway.

Guys....We have fought off a lot of adversity in this game with roll backs, extensions and the like.

NO ONE has quit, we have about 4 wars going on and they are taking different paths every turn.

This has been One of the best games I have ever played in and I salute ALL of you...The new, not so new, and the wily 'ol' vets.

It would be a shame to quit now. A temp sub would be great until you got back, but that seems out of the question. The way I see it we have 2 options (and I have NOT looked at the scores so I may be completely off base).

You can go AI or we can wait until he gets back...for myself, we are having severe winter storms and my Internet connection is going on and off. But I can get thru that.

Its 5 days do we want to wait and if he can't get it together them we go to one of the other options...OR do we decide now.

Lets have some input (and I don't want to hear we need to bag this game)...

Thanks guys

And yes I will fill in as admin till you get back.

We're on turn 29. Turn 28 first came out on 12/29. 10 days/turn seems like the pace we've been on.

I'm not happy about a delay, but I'll be here when he gets back.

thejeff · #5 January 8th, 2010, 08:25 PM

Stagger Lee: Yeah but we've had all these turns multiple times, so that should bring the average down.

Waiting is proabbly the best thing, though I hate to say it.
These things happen. It's only a week.

I do encourage everyone to get their turns in early anyway. That way you don't have to remember to get back to it, you get the pleasant surprise of a turn in your mailbox.

LOL, Yeah I forgot it took only ten days to solve our rollback problem!!

Heck, its the weekend (and the playoffs, in the US anyway) and I have snow storm every other dang day. Its only 5 days and I agree with thejeff.

PLEASE get your turn in and in a couple of days I (as I have the code) will give you a brand new turn to play with until he gets back and catches up.

We owe him a little time as he IS the one who put it together, don't you all think?

I see it has been nice and quiet here while I was away!

Thanks for the support guys! I am back for action again so I will fire up Llama so it'll start pumping out the turns again. I hope everyone will chime in again! *thumbs up*!

Cold here, by the way. There hasn't been so much snow since '83 here!

EDIT: Tig na N'og needs to send in their turn and the game will quickhost so we can continue.

Stagger Lee · #8 January 14th, 2010, 10:39 AM

Loupp - you still with us?

Stagger Lee · #9 January 14th, 2010, 10:20 PM

So I'm thinking we're gonna need a sub for Tir na n'Og

GrudgeBringer · #10 January 15th, 2010, 07:25 AM

If he stales this turn I will submit a request on the forum. He has been on and off in a number of games. I don't know if he is having computer problems or not.
