I haven't done the rollback yet. Life is conspiring against me.

Can someone provide a Capuchin update? I just received an email saying my turn is due in 6 hours. I thought there was nothing to send in though, correct?

llamabeast · #**163** February 19th, 2008, 09:05 PM

Yep, nothing to send in. Sorry guys, I've been letting you down a bit. I need to roll back the turn but I've just been overwhelmed. Will try to do it tomorrow.

No problem or let down at all Llamabeast. You are a gracious host - I was just afraid I might have missed a turn. Happy to wait for whenever you have time to roll back.
Thanks!

eh by the way, I have been defeated so you might want to find another admin for this game.

Firewalker · #**166** February 21st, 2008, 11:44 AM

I can take over the administration if no one else is interested.

Right, I've just sent you all a message. Basically I've left it too late to roll back to turn 39, so we are at least going to roll back to turn 40. EVERYONE needs to send their turns in again.

In the message I also promised a ramble as to why I didn't get home in time to roll back the game. Here's the ramble. I was helping out at a charity event, and expected to be home in plenty of time before hosting. However, I was foiled by a couple of things. Firstly, the charity event ended up involving a vast quantity of cornflakes and whipped cream being spread over the floor of Oxford's historic union debating chamber, which we then had to clear up _without tools_. Never would I have been happier to see a dustpan and brush, having spent ages on my knees picking up cornflake fragments with my bare hands. Also the cream got between the floorboards. The most absorbent thing we had to get up the cream was newspapers. Turns out newspapers don't really absorb cream. And secondly we had several jugs of cocktails left at the end which needed to be, er, dealt with. That took a while.

Firewalker - many thanks. I'll send you the admin password.

Also, I would like to add to the last post: sorry for the cockup. The game should be all back to normal after this turn.

Sounds like a cracker of a night Llamabeast - thanks for your efforts with the rollback.

Hmm..I am suspicious of the sequence of events as relayed by Mr. Llamabeast
