Team Easy-slay(TM) cares!

We've listened to your complaints, chrispedersen (ticket #14E8923C: you expected to be crushed utterly and have your artifacts taken away.) Don't worry! At Easy-slay(TM) we understand that the market for crude, brutal violence is ever-changing.

That's why Easy-slay(TM) researchers are fast and work producing the merciless butchering you've come to expect.

Chris, you'll need to clear out your PM box if you wish to receive any communications or responses to messages you send.

Players, please refrain from any more delay requests until we can reach turn 50. We are moving extraordinarily slow. Not that it bothers me much, but I just bumped up the interval to 64 hours and you'll have another chance to add more hours when we hit turn 51. In the meantime we need to try to respect the majority who voted for the 56 hour interval as best we can.

Thanks.

Again, I repeat...

Life gets in the way today, tomorrow, and forever if you have any kind of life outside this game.

If we have a player tha continually asks for an extension, then I would agree that they should perhaps bow out for the good of the community.

But with the amount of players involved, babies, grandchildren, sick parents, Internet down, computer on the fritz, and of course that evil thing called work....there WILL be times we need to have an extension.

This isn't a race for me and its supposed to be an enjoyable expieriance and stress reliever (well kinda).

But I am starting to feel like I used to feel when I was young, before I started my own companies. When I was told I would have mandatory overtime and skip lunches for projects.

If I need an extension, I will ask for it and expect it...period.

If it is too much of a hassle to give it or you feel it will slow the game down. Then YOU do my turn, or let me stale.

Geeez, all this is starting to bore me to death.

Grudge, if you don't agree with me, that's your right. Do what you will. I've noted your objection. There are good reasons why I am asking that delays be limited till turn 50 (not mandating), despite what you might believe.

Sept,

Regardless of what you think, I am NOT disagreeing with you. This is your game and keeping it on a straight line is imperative I think. And in that respect I not only agree with you, but think you are doing a great job.

MY problem isn't with your encouragement to keep the game moving (that's your job in this game, among others and I respect it).

My problem was with the statement that we shouldn't/couldn't have any MORE extensions. I have never asked for one before (and you gave it to me when I did, thank you), But with life being so unpredictable, knowing that there are no more extensions or at best frowned upon, takes the pressure of this game to a different level.

My opinion of course

It's just trying for an admin. No matter how long you give the players to take their turns, someone always manages to wait until the last minute to get their turn in... and then, something happens and they ask for an extension

. I know this game has had a bit of a frantic pace for me at times, and I've been frankly terrified on a few of these turns that key people on my team wouldn't get their turns in :P.

Chrispedersen, I answered your question but your private message box was full. Please, check your box and clean it.

See you.

Hey guys... sorry I just got home from work. One hundred messages deleted. I'm really hoping that will last a day or two.

Sorry guys!

Please try again!

So... I guess yomi is suiciding itself on caelum to be taken over by a stronger mysterio nation?

Interesting.

I really don't follow this thread any more, but some things just catch my eye.

From the OP:

Quote:

Hosting Interval and Delays: First 10 turns @ 32 hours, 8 hours will be added every 10 turns thereafter with the maximum to be decided by consensus. Delay policy is liberal. Most delays (under 48 hrs) will be granted automatically if accompanied by a PM to the admin(s), a forum post, and a reasonable amount of notice. Alternates/subs should be utilized for longer delays.

And from a few days ago:

Quote:

Players, please refrain from any more delay requests until we can reach turn 50. We are moving extraordinarily slow.

Like I posted months ago, what part of "Delay policy is liberal" is unclear??????
