Yang Goes Native - tracking thread

[johndmuller]

Guys:
I looked in here yesterday and noticed you'all seemed to be a bit stuck, so I sent this email to Ted, who seemed to be the likely suspect.

Did you get the turn from Dcole/Sparta?
Did you play it / send it on?

The game seems to be stalled on you; why don't you look into it and take appropriate action.

Whatever the situation is, posting what you know of it would be a good idea so that the others know what is going on.

No reply so far.

[knowhow2]

no turn here

[Dcole78]

probably obvious but just so that it is known I do not have the turn. I sent the tsf a personal email asking if he had recieved mine no word yet. (sigh)

[Arnathalon]

hmm.. hope he replies soon. like you said. its way to early for this sort of things

[Claw919]

Okay, voting time.

Do we continue to wait for tfs99, do we drop him (and try and find a replacement), or do we simply scrap the game?

If we wait much longer, the game will die regardless, so let's do something now.

Harsh as it sounds, I say we start looking for a replacement now. If he comes back before we find one, all the better.

[knowhow2]

replacement!

[duMa]

I call for a replacement as well... (hopefully he's okay though)

[Dcole78]

replacement, hope he is ok as well, does he give any information in his profile we can use to find out?

[Mongoose]

He posted this a short while ago at ACOL: time is PDT (GMT-7)

If you want (and if DCole sends me a copy of the turn), I am willing to play this year's turn to keep the game from stagnating and to give Ted another couple of days to make an appearance, at least putting off the day of reckonning.

I'm sure I can put myself into that Miriam state of mind that he seems to have adopted - that should safely preclude my availing myself of any special knowledge I might have .

I'm at John's email.

[duMa]

That'd work for you to take the turn, JohnD.

Emergency situations do arise, it's just frustrating to not know /something/ about why the game gets stuck.

I think most will agree to this to get the game rolling again.

Oh, just so I don't forget to mention it, I'll be moving in about 6 months, so I'll not be available. However, I've got a replacement lined up for that period. Heh.

[knowhow2]

away from Sweden, duMa?

Right now this game contains of two swedes and a canadian living in sweden..... almost like Swedish Open

[Arnathalon]

haha.. yeah.
i vote for replacement too.
Just to keep the game going

[Claw919]

Just say the word, and I have a replacement for us all lined up.

I like the idea of john playing the turn (thanks, John!), so that Ted doesn't get kicked unnecessarily. It's really odd - tfs99 is a definite SMAC vet, and has been through a lot of these games before.

Dcole - can you send the turn to John?

[Dcole78]

would love to only I don't have a copy still...I'm an anima freak so my hard drive is always filled to the brim with that. Didn't think I'd need either of the files any more so I deleted them both after I sent them on (yes yes I know incredibly stupid feel free to say so) I leave it up to you all what to do.
