Turn up!

We will be sticking to a strict 48-h policy from now on. This includes members from my own team, of course.

Basically, there will be no more extensions for anyone, short of a death in the family or something like that. The timer may still reset from time to time, if my computer has to restart. If so, we will stick to the stated time on the server, unless I post here saying otherwise.

So, basically, I'm saying that I will not mess with the game clock anymore. The time remaining on the clock is the amount of time you have. If it resets, well, I guess there will be some extra time for people in that case. Unless I state otherwise.

Another caveat -- if I lose internet for an extended period of time, of course to be fair I will extend the game clock.

Well, I think advance requests of a short extension (say, by 24-48 hours) are fine, because we can all then plan around it. But random extensions without a time limit for a player that for an unknown reason (at worst, simple selfish laziness) cannot get their turn in on time, so that we have absolutely no idea when the next turn will pop? And not once or twice, but almost every turn? That bugs the hell out of me. We don't need to overcompensate in the other direction though. ; )

So may I be the first to applaud your new stance? Loudly and clearly!

I do have a related concern: the week starting June ?30th? I would like to ask that the game be switched to a 72-hour timer. That's only one extra day, and only for 2-3 turns. I'm going away for a week-long trip with only intermittent internet access, and will almost certainly stale out at least once if we maintain a 48-hour timer. Feel free to keep Quickhost on though; I will still try to make sure there are no delays!

That is the July 4th weekend, right? Sure, I don't have a problem with extensions for national holidays and stuff like that. I doubt anyone does. Of course not everyone lives in the US. But you get what I'm saying.

Burninator,

Before you send any more slayers to their deaths, you should know by now that the sidhe think your horror spam are cute wisps of cotton candy that make the elflings giggle.

I'm also perfectly fine with short extensions requested in advance

There's a world between a 72h-timer once in a while and what we lived through the last two weeks...

LIMP WRIST PRIME TALKS BIG FROM BEHIND THE BODIES PILING IN PYTHIUM AND ARCOSCEPHALE. THE BURNINATOR IS NO RAGING BULL TO BE GOADED INTO ACTING OUT OF HIS PLAN, BUT WORRY NOT FOR BURNINATION SHALL COME TO THE SPARKLE FAIRY BOYS IN ERIU IN GOOD TIME. CONTINUE TO PARADE THE BODIES OF OUR SCOUTS AND PROCLAIM VICTORY, WE ARE DUELY CHASTENED.

AS TO THESE SO CALLED HARBINGERS, LET US SEE IF 150% FIRE RESISTANCE IS SUFFICIENT TO SURVIVE BURNINANTION. THE BURNINATOR IS EVEN MORE CONTEMPTUOUS OF THE RABBLE RAISED IN ARCOSCEPHALE, I CERTAINLY HOPE YOU HAVE A BETTER PLAN THAN MARCHING ELEPHANTS AND ARCHERS INTO THE BURNINATOR'S PLAINS. THIS SHOULD PROVE DELECTABLE.

Burninator,
You need to shave your eyebrows and get some product for your hair, not too mention some better fragrance - you smell like charred elephant.

And, don't think your six guides and psychotic ALL CAP postings scare the sidhe / we will keep listening to the Pet Shop Boys with our spiky hair and glitter jackets:

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

(I I I)
(Huh Huh Huh)
(I I I I)
(Huh Huh Huh-Huh-Huh-Huh)
(I-I-I-I-I-I-I-...)

Bump. Just a reminder for Good team to respond to emails if they're not too busy.

I'd second Tuidjy and pass on the trash talk. However I'm surprised DonCorazon would admit to listening to the Pet Shop Boys. That's guts! Or something... I guess.

By the way, I would submit my turn earlier, except for the fact that quickhost is on. I'd prefer the ability to change details based on new communications or just things I think of later on.

Next game, I am going to -require- trash talk!!!

Personally I love those games. I enjoy the RPG (role-playing games) talk more than the spreadsheet strategist talk.

But as a moderator this seems a good time to mention that Shrapnel prefers that the public forum NOT be used for trashtalk about individuals. Purely as a GUIDELINE (not absolute to all cases) when talk shifts from nation talking about nation, or pretender talking about pretender, into login talking directly about another login... then we will be looking at a possible moderator action.

Sorry for the intrusion.
I now return you to your regularly sheduled trashtalk
