2) Yes, I wrote the game wouldn't start till Monday evening. Turn your logic on: this phrase only means the game may start on Monday evening, and you should appear at that time at least to check the news.
3) Check the time and date.

Few days mean 2-3, and you were absent for almost 4 without giving me any information and possibility to contact you. If you want to play - show your interest, I'm not a babysitter.

Shuma
Perhabs CBM was turned off when you were designing your pretender?

Zeldor Calahan
I know what you mean, there were just no way to design starting locations on this map without 3 'lucky ones'.

So with the restart, do we have to or do we not have to re-send in pretenders?

[WingedDog]

I have send the PM to everybody, yes you should resend the pretenders. The game has a new name.

ALMOST 4 would be 3 genius. As in A FEW days...

And possibility to contact me??? Wtf does that mean? was I there stopping you from sending a PM saying you might try to find a sub or some ****?? I dont think so.

Geez.

You didnt even ****ing ask for input on if you should find a sub or not in the game thread you just went and did it on your own accord.

[Agema]

Cool down please. There's been no ill-will, just communication mistakes.

Well, regardless of the game restarting or not it looks like its screwed for me anyways. The bottom line is it looks like Wingeddog simply forgot that I had told him I wouldnt have a chance to work on my pretender until Monday night at the earliest and then instead of simply saying, "Oh shoot, sorry man I completely forgot that you had told me that, I just went ahead and found a sub so we could get the game moving. I appologize" he starts lying to try and cover his tracks. I already knew when I pm'd him asking if I hadnt told him that I had a bunch of stuff to do for school and I wasnt familiar with the nation he assigned me so I'd need a few days before I could look it over and design my pretender, that I had indeed told him that. I just wanted to see if he had forgotten and it jogged his memory. Instead I get "Oh no you didnt say anything about that" at which point I dig up one of his replies to my message. If he had just told the truth from the begining It would have all been cool but he didnt (Or he has a REALLY bad memory) Wingeddog is doing something cool to help out Executor and that is really admirable and regretful that this whole thing happened, not just because it wasted my time but because Wingeddog didnt deserve it himself, accidents happen and its understandable. It was just how he handled the situation afterwords that I did not agree with at all.

On a side note with all this in hindsight I would suggest if anyone needs a delay or anything of that nature and cannot post in the game thread without giving away specifics of your nation I would forward a copy of any correspondence to wingeddog to someone else who is not in the game so you have an additional witness, or have someone else post in the game thread in your place (or simply create a new forum account with a random name). That way it cuts this crap out altogether.

Incidentally, I'm away between about Friday 20.00GMT up to Sunday 20.00GMT with likely no computer access. It would be really handy for me and I suspect minimally disruptive if the time limit for the first turn was set 00.00GMT Monday. If you're really keen to get going, I'll find a sub for the turn or so I couldn't get in.

[Dragar]

aren't graphs meant to be on this game?

[WingedDog]

Dragar
Graphs never appear on turn 1. What did you want to see? Afraid you're too low on reserch or provinces comparing to others?

[WingedDog]

to all
Please in the future send delay request in PM, so the ather players couldn't figure your nation out as the last one 'waiting for 2h file'. Agema's reqest will be satisfied. More likely with a sub. You'll be informed.
