What I don't really understand is why India didn't just play their turn. When I played yesterday (about 8 or so hours after India's #2584 post) Japan's sub had already played. That left some 18 or more hours on the turn clock.

Plus, India was the one that missed the first turn anyway, and didn't come on here asking that someone pause for them. No one KNEW that you were about to miss your turn.

No offense to you India, it just seems like it is your own fault that you missed two straight turns.

India is at war with me but since my laptop is still in the shop for repairs there is not much I can do. I'm not sure what has been going on, why India lost his turn or even if my sub is playing all of my turns. It is going to be another week until my laptop is back (hopefully) so maybe the pause would be best. That or the game can be reloaded. I just dont want the turn order to change especially while i'm out because it then affects the times I can play.

Ok, we need to get this right.
With whom is India at war, what was the turn order.

Can the enemy of India respond to the things India asked here?
I'm pausing the game till we have figured this out. We cannot have India miss 2 turns so we have to reload somewhere anyway.
The swap seems to be a great idea. In that case I must just reload before India's enemy(enemies) played last turn so that India can go first.

[India (DoE)]

seriously, screw this. I'm gonna take a cold turkey break and go off for a week or so. the reason: I asked for a turn swap and no one even answered and while waiting I lost another turn. I'm off.

Who are these Indians you speak of?

Seriously though, the game often turns when it still shows that several people haven't finished their turn, though in truth they have been in the game and finished their turn. I can never keep straight who this happens to.

[India (DoE)]

*sigh*

once again the world completely ignores India. I wonder why I even bother. Does anyone even know we exist? HELLOOOOOO!!!??

I lost turn 1758. No major problem (actually, potentially big problem) but if Japan would do for me what I did for him and agree to swapping the turn order, we're ok.

Thanks for the new story thread Rhoth. Posting now.

[Vikings (DoE)]

No, I would never argue that, having a son myself.

Congratulations on your daughter being born.

I'll post my own story thread.

EDIT: Hmm, can't seem to do it as the Vikings (it tells me I don't have permission to make new posts). And if I do it as my normal login everyone will know who I am.

[Robert]

I'm sorry for slacking with the administration.
I have a couple of pretty fine excuses:
- my wife was in the hospital
- I had the worst computer virus /trojan ever existed
- my daughter was born

anybody wants to say my excuses are not good enough, speak up now
Seriously, I feel covered pretty well by my excuses. First time ever that my excuses even satisfy myself

Please someone make a new story thread.
Reserve the first post so that I can copy/paste into it later.

[Vikings (DoE)]

Okay I have a fun story I want to post, but I need to know if we're starting a new story thread first.

[Vikings (DoE)]

BTW, are we getting a new story thread now that it is August. I finally have some time to start writing again.

And also...who won the last vote? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Vikings (DoE)]

Anybody dares to bet when this turn will be over? I say 96 hours from now. And 3 minutes.

[Robert]

ah, ok, that explains.
Good move.

Well, we've made it into another new turn, let's see what challenges it will bring to us to finish this one

Cool, sorry, my last post could have been read as that I rather not swap, whereas I don't mind at all Whatever works best for everyone!
