Team-based game

[CerberusIV]

I don't want to give up, I just want to play.

Should we consider introducing a 48 hour rule? If someone doesn't play their turn within that time then it gets played for them.

Who can play it, given the password requirement?

[SpencerH]

OK. I'll advertise for a replacement for StSwf. Cerberus can you send me the last sav you sent to stswf and I'll bypass the password.

[ricketyclik]

Has anyone emailed him to see if he still wants to play? It seems harsh to cut him out after 3 days...

[SpencerH]

I'll email first but it's four days now. It seems like he wants to play and could be a fun partner but maybe his schedule is too tight, he keeps disappearing.

[SpencerH]

I sent an email and it bounced back - undeliverable.

Can I get a consensus about what to do about this ? Anatolia are you going to stick with the game?

[marcuspeddle]

I'll stick around for a while to see if this gets resolved. Why don't we put up a notice for a temporary player? If StSwf comes back (maybe he's having computer troubles) then no problem. If he doesn't come back then we can make the temporary player permanent.

[CerberusIV]

SpencerH - I will send the last turn I played to you in a couple of hours (when I get home from work).

If StSwf is unavailable I would agree with trying to recruit a temporary/permanent replacement.

EDIT - 3100BC now sent.

[SpencerH]

I can probably find a replacement on a strictly temporary basis. We may be able to find a good (reliable) player who is willing to take over a slot. I think its another thing, though, to find someone good who is also willing to have to leave if StSwf comes back.

BTW StSwf's email is a uni (I think he's a comp sci student) so I dont think its a matter of his PC being down.

[StSwf]

Hmm, Im not gone, I just haven't recived any turn from Cerberus. I'll clean out some of my old stored e-mails, even though it should be far from full. I guess I need to check the forums more often to prevent myself from being declared dead and gone every 2 weeks. And dont hit me on Saturday again either......

[StSwf]

And SpencerH is stressing the intricate pattern of diplomatic cohesion that we the Babylonian people have toiled long and hard to manufacture.

[CerberusIV]

Welcome back StSwf!

I have just sent the 3100BC turn to you again. If it doesn't come through, let me know and I will post it in the thread.

Now there's an idea.

[SpencerH]

We almost had this running at about a turn a day which is pretty good for a world-wide distribution. Hopefully we can get back to that pace.

Damn you guys live on these boards. And I thought the Moo3 trolls and patch worshippers had it bad.
