Machaka staled, and he had asked for a delay until NEXT Monday, then another delay 5 days later for 16 days.

It looks like the admin missed the request. So what do we do now? Stale when you had asked for a delay and in several MAJOR wars is a huge problem, might this be a time to justify a roll back?

I am PMing Nrasch to be sure he sees this.

What do players think?

Ouch, even though I've heard of the great evils associated with rollbacks, I'd be okay with it in this case as this is a major impact to the game and pretty unfair.

All:

Thanks for the PM. Not sure why my thread notification didn't fire off.

If you guys need a rollback please let me know. I'm happy to do whatever is needed.

Also, I'm willing to pass off admin to some one still active in the game if you think that will avoid these issues in the future.

Thanks,
Nathan

Rollback must be done on this one for a fair game, definitely yes.
I can handle the Admin role, but I am not available everytime, so probably not the best to do it. As you wish.

I think the next part for delay - 16 days will a) require a sub or b) have them go AI if they don't have enough to matter and all agree.

OK, rollback has been initiated. I'll also start extending the deadline for the next turn until I hear what the consensus is about the request for the long delay.

Given I only really had 1 course of action last turn, I wonder how my opponent will destroy me using the foreknowledge he now has, it would be irony to have some excellent victories turn into defeats from the rollback.

It is Lihaassa's responsibility to choose wether find a sub or go AI if nothing could be done better by a human player. I don't mind doing a break of 15 days, I am not in a hurry.
Anyway, I do not aknowledge every player's situation but maybe it is the first time that someone could claim victory (I am talking about the fire creatures if you ask). What do you think ?

I'm good with calling it, it seems the game is suffering a decline in general interest level and on top of the recent happenings together would indicate a good place to calling it.

Though of course I'm not a consequential contender in this game, and was contemplating turning AI given the various happenings and decline of late anyway.

The ghosts of the monkey people weep bitter tears at the thoughts of the evil fire people winning.
