Monkey 2 - Part V

[Flandrien]

It has become very quiet on this thread.
Is this game still moving ?

I guess Zaphod won't be needing a replacement after all .

[Paul]

Yes, very quiet indeed. So where's the game stuck this time?

[Don Everitt]

Turn 149 just received and sent to lung.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

i'm back folks! had a very great time at the moers new-jazz festival. now i'll need a few days of sleep.
i suppose my sub has followed my plans and russia already rules the world?

[Lung]

Russia rules the world? Ha! They barely even got to play a turn! Turn 149 to Paul.

[Paul]

Turn 149 to Zaphod who came back just on time to play. At least now you can't blame that "stupid replacement player" when things go wrong.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

this time the substitute was fantastic. he didn't take one decision i wouldn't have done exactly the same!

turn to monkey, quite some hours ago

[Lung]

Yawn. Looks like the Monkey-go-round stalls again zzzzzzzz.......

[Monkey]

I didn't receive any turn Zaphod. Please resend.

[Lung]

Yeah, a likely story, Monkey-breath! When's this game going to happen?!!?!? I'm growing cobwebs here!!!

[Monkey]

Why don't you ask Zaph yourself, Lung? I was actually quite offended that everyone jumped on me so soon. I know I've been late with the turns a couple of times but to point at me straight away as the cause was damn insulting.

Turn 150 to Blue Max

BTW Zaph if you wanna trade for that tech you requested, name the price you are willing to pay for the trade.

[Lung]

Hehehehe...sorry, Monkey dude. You know - mob mentality and all that sort of thing Man! If that offends you, what will happen when my army of death starts crawling all over your land

[Lung]

Carn, Blue Max! Pull your finger out, dude!! You know, if i ever get another turn, i'm likely to have forgotten who i was at war with and attack someone else by mistake! No sooner do i plot someone's downfall, when the game comes to a complete stop

I hate to be the bad guy, but i think the 24 hour rule should apply here. We should have an emergency reserve to play turns for absentees, rather than just attach an AI, though. I'm in five games, yet not one turn was waiting for me on Sunday night This is a JOKE! An absolute joke, i tell you!!!

And it's all your fault, Zaphod!!!

[Monkey]

I'm going to give Blue Max one(couple?) more day before I set him on AI. There's nothing more annoying than to see a new game in your mail box play it and then realized that the person before you have set you to AI and is now playing the next turn. Be patient guys. I know I made the 24 hour rule but I think some patience is required for an email game. After all we're not exactly planning to finish any time soon, are we?

[Paul]

You sent him the turn over 48 hours ago. I suggest that you send him an email telling him that he should play in the next 24 hours or be set to AI.

I also suggest that all players post their turn updates here and that we also read those updates. That way we will know where the game is and you can also see when you didn't get a turn that was sent to you.
