Cripple Fight! - And the Lame shall inherit the earth!

@ All/Zeldor

Myself and Zeldor are back from our respective trips, so this game is now up and running again.

I've set the hosting for the current turn to this Saturday, 3rd October, at 23:55 llamaserver time. So gets those turns in! I actually did this yesterday after noticing Zeldor's request during a flying visit to the forums, but it's only now (that I'm home) that I'm having the time to post about it. So apols everyone for not keeping you all up-to-date with delays as is my usual admin MO (although I do have a resonably good excuse )


@ Zeldor - I was going to set the deadline for this game to late Friday evening, but know you (and myself) have a turn due in Pasha's RAND game then as well, so bumped it forward another day to avoid the clash. Since I know the pain of having 2+ games with deadlines at similar times, so took the wild guess that with both games on 72 hours schedules, it wouldn't take long for duel deadlines to cause one of us a problem.

[Zeldor]

I could be interested in playing EA Abysia in sequel, assuming I have free time

[Calahan]

Just a few hours to go until hosting, and the top two are still without turns submitted. For Zeldor this is not unusual, but Frozen Lama mostly has his turn done by now, so it's strange not to see his turn sent in this close to the deadline.

@ Zeldor / Frozen - I should be around this evening until the current hosting deadline hits, so just give me a shout if you need a delay. (and even if I'm away from my computer for the next hour or so, I'll make certain to check back for delay requests before and around the time of the deadline.)

I'll also probably throw in an automatic delay if the deadline gets too close and any turns are still missing. You all know how much I hate seeing stales at any time during a game, but even more pointless at this stage and with so few players left.

I'm totally in the next game in the series if there's room. Preferably as a non-water nation since i've *played* most of those already. (And don't be too fast, some people need to hurry up and finish killing me in some other games)

[Calahan]

Oh Frozen where art thou. Zeldor's the king of late turn submission not you.

@ All

Fair chance I'll be delaying this game in the next few minutes. Probably add 24 hours, as I'm expecting to be out of the office tomorrow for most of the day. So won't be able to do my usual preference here of delaying the game until the morning and re-checking the status then.

Although only Frozen's turn missing, so it will obviously autohost when he submits it.

Edit1: In fact better delay it now due to the screwy llamaserver.
Edit2: Ok, game delayed by 24 hours for Frozen Lama. Guess his racing addiction consumed all his free time this turn

[Frozen Lama]

oh.......oops. totally forgot it was due today. sorry guys. thanks for the save Calahan. i will get it in tonight i promise.

[Calahan]

No worries Frozen. I'll mostly be on the case with heading off any stales. Even more so now with this being the only game I'm admining. Less deadlines to watch

[Calahan]

@ All

I had to throw on a hasty 12 hour delay for myself yesterday, and will probably need a few extra hours again for today. Work has been the total opposite of kind the past few days. I've even had to come in on a Saturday

So I've added another few hours for myself just in case the current deadline is too tight (50/50 that I'll need it). But I should be able to get something sent in once I finally get home.

[Frozen Lama]

I will be traveling without internet acess from Oct 19th-24th. i know the game has been delay way to much lately, but i'd like to ask to delay the turn for me since most likely i would only need a sub for 1 turn.

thanks!

[Zeldor]

Oh, you are not going to give up before that?
