Never ending pauses.

[India (DoE)]

India is ok with a pause. I am still here and can play my turns, but it seems many people need some time to get organized.

[Aztecs (DoE)]

I'm back, but can't get in..

but am I correct that it will be paused a while?

I think the only sensible thing to do is just keep the game paused until everyone is back. The game is a farce right now with all these temp subs playing.

[Japan (DoE)]

Well unfortunatly my laptop will be out for two weeks and I will be out this weekend. I will try to hook up my old pc snd install civ4 as soon as i get back so ill keep everyone posted on my progress and if i need a temp sub or not.

[Vikings (DoE)]

Fine with me. You are right that we should get some of the others back soon, especially the ones involved in wars.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

i asked russia but they are thus far a no show. if someone would like to volinteer i have very simple instructions i can send.

I'm just going to go ahead and ask for a long pause. Japan is gone, Aztec is gone, India is gone, 3 civs at war are gone. Azteca still hasnt played meaning I can't play. Russia just asked me to play for Japan because Russia is gone, but I can't do that because I am mediator for Japan and India.

Half of the game is now being played by proxies. If I played all the proxies I have been asked to next turn I would be playing a third of the civs in the game

Can't connect.

See the post just prior to yours...

[Vikings (DoE)]

Can't connect.

For the record, the Aztecs currently have a sub for a short time while he is on a mini-vacation, but the sub can't get in to the game.

If the game is unpaused the sub can play.

I have server-side paused the game from my phone. Wasn't able to do a proper pause.
Japan, please let me know when you'll be able to play or find someone to sub for you (temporarily)

[OzzyKP]

I see Soloman is moonlighting as Suleiman again.

Its actually the Arabic spelling of Soloman.

Lurkers

[Arabia2 (doe)]

Just curious, how did you find out Inca was playing Arabia? Did Inca invite you to take over Arabia? I just ask because it sounded like you contacted Inca rather than the host. Is that right?

I was a lurker here, liked to read about the ingame drama . I saw somewhere that Inca's got Arabia and now that I could reinstall civ4 I thought I'd ask them if they are still subbing them so I could join.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

I've just received a pm from Inca, however I was not the one who wrote to Robert. I asked for Arabia some days ago from Inca, but got no answer. I'm still interested in taking this civ but if the other player really wants it, it's alright by me.

Ok I have a bigger problem then I though. I have asked someone to sub but seeing PYT that they haven't even played there turn I don't know if they will get a chance to play my turn.
