Scorched Earth Succession Game

[Scouse Gits]

I think you now all know why "RL looms large" for me at the moment - I think you had better "include me out" of this game.

Worry not I WILL return, but probably not for a week or so.

I thought long and hard as to whether or not I should continue using this smiley -- I finally concluded that Ivor would approve.

Stu:

Just take care of yourself. Take as long as you feel you need.

Real Life. And SG[1] can take as much time as he needs.

Slowburg is gone?

Just wait 'till I get some distant foreign city -- watch the corruption hit the ceiling!

On the other hand, if we are far from any enemy, do I get to enjoy homelessness and do we want to be capital-less????

[Scouse Gits]

OK - I'm on it - regret this may be slower than my normal ...

I gather the city was so squalid, the residents are now happier as nomadic barbarians

Yes, you get the perk of not needing to move the capital.

You're in, after SG[1] and sirsnuggles.

Hopefully no more cities will be lost in the interim

[Old n Slow]

Or we could lose a few more & have this look like another new Sxn game (O Sole Mio).
