Succession Games -- Status Report

[duke o' york]

We've only got five in rotation at the moment, with one on open:

Dirty - Old n Slow
O Sole - SG (may be skipping, in which case La Fayette)
Lazy - -Jrabbit
Scorched - STYOM (looks like -Jrabbit plays here too then)
Sailing - Straybow (then Ben, STYOM, SG, so it looks as though the lagomorph plays here too! )

-Jrabbit has got a lot on his plate if SG skips his turns, and we can't track down any of the other people who haven't visited in a while.

[-Jrabbit]

Aargh...

RL prevented Lazy Summer turns this weekend. Hope to get to that in the next day or so. Scorched and Sailing in due course, but first things first. If that means someone jumps in, fine.

Are both STYOM and Straybow out of pocket? (I thought only one was...)

[Old n Slow]

Hmmm since JRabbit follows me in Dirty, maybe I won't play so fast -- because he's also up in the Free for all !

Well, actually, anyone (save the 4 most recent) could be up in Free-for-all.

Thus the name...

I don't want to seem to mean to absent friends, and hope that they all return soon, but could we set up a special team to act as SXN substitutes? Zedd has taken one of the games, and good luck to him , and debeest, Grigor and Rasputin have certainly not ashamed themselves with their recent forays into the murky world of succession.
Without actually having their names on the list and committing them to long-term rotas, would it be possible to ask them (or anyone else who happens to pop by) to play a few turns now and again to keep things moving, especially if we get another -Jrabbit SXN avalanche situation.

[Grigor]

After years of lurking with an incompatible ancient Mac version, Solo has generously found a MGE for Macintosh CD for me, and I am now able to participate in MGE games. The Sailing game seems to be moving apace, but I am not sure of the formats of the others.

[-Jrabbit]

All 5 active games are in MGE, so feel free to join in wherever, Grigor.

Did you see the link to the 1.1.1 patch for that Mac I posted?

[Grigor]

OK, I will take Sailing now.

[-Jrabbit]

A difficult game. Fare thee well!

[Grigor]

Wow, a very difficult game indeed, and one that I do not know how to make progress in! I played 8 turns, but I fear that the best hope may be to wait for Robotics and do the howie crush. The AI has tons of cash, rendering unit bribing uneconomic.

[-Jrabbit]

I have completed my turns in Lazy Summer -- next up is the duke o' york.

l now turn my attention to Scorched Earth.

[-Jrabbit]

Scorched Earth complete. Who's next?

As for me, I guess I'll grab 2nd Sailing. I believe SG [1] is due back Wednesday, so I'll jump ahead of him before re-joining the free-for-all.

[duke o' york]

I wasn't able to play Lazy I'm afraid, so if we could skip to the next player. I hope to be back in the rotation by Wednesday, but if not then it'll have to wait until next weekend.

Apologies to all. I'll be back!

[-Jrabbit]

Next scheduled player after duke o' york in Lazy Summer is the estimable La Fayette.

[-Jrabbit]

I have completed my turns in (2nd) Sailing Succession, which turns the pointer to SG [1].

I have downloaded the Dirty Succession and should be able to post by Friday.

Someone else should be playing in Free-for-All. Who will don the mantle of leadership??
