Notice of Absense

[notyoueither]

My mother's long term medical condition came to a sudden crisis yesterday and today. She had ALS. She passed away a short time ago. I am home contacting relatives.

I wanted to drop by to let you folks know that I will not be around much in the next number of days.

BigFree PM'ed me some shots, and questions. I do not have time to go into things now. Can someone contact him?

I've PMed BF, and also sent him an update on the analysis of ND/GoW losses in our recent battle.

[Arrian]

Sorry to hear that, NYE. My condolences.

My condolences as well. You will be in our prayers.

[alva]

Keep strong mate.

[Shiber]

Same here, keep strong NYE.

Take as much time as you need.

[Harovan]

Condolences.

I will try to play, but this will be hard during the week, first because I don't have much time, and second because I'm usually tired as hell.

[notyoueither]

Thank you.

I am checking in, but I do not have much free time at the moment.

[notyoueither]

I have been around, as may have been noticed.

The service was yesterday. My brother flies out tomorrow. I should be able to resume 'normal' after that. Almost.

It would be very good if at least one other could continue playing turns.

[Arrian]

I'm getting turns now, and though I make no promises (I'm often away on weekends and such), I will try to help out if need be.

Good to have you back, NYE.

nye, I am not sure why you haven't burned out by now, considering both the historical pace of activity here and in the ISDG, as well as RL issues.

Take it easy for a bit... we fumbled around a bit, but we came through.

[notyoueither]

Actually... I do have some news of further distractions. I have found out that work is going to be busier for me as of when I go back on Monday. I do not know how long that will last.

I will definitely not be able to play too many turns. We definitely need to get it together in playing as a team so that SR, myself and maybe one other can get the turns done and stay on plan.

[asleepathewheel]

Hang in there, the rest of us can fill in for you.

Has the latest turn been emailed out to the rest of the group?

Would it be too obnoxious to just add theseus and myself to Vondrack's email list?

Before I start another Note of Absence thread, I bump this one.

I will have guests at home for a week from today on, so I can't pay that much attention to the demogame (and civing as a whole), and certainly can't spend several hours to collect a turn. I will be barely able to play my PBEM turns and to keep the PtWDG2 alive, where I'm practically alone in my team, with OctavianX stepping in on occasions.

Should we get the turn during this time, I will comment it and post my recommendations, as I find time, but please don't count on me to play it.

[asleepathewheel]

Ralph, enjoy the house guests. We can handle it here I think.

And the chances that we will get the game in that period look....slim.
