Alien Waterworld turn reporting thread II

Guess we need a replacement then.

Looks like it and for Battleship Earth also.

I got this from FF, so I would be willing to cut him some slack.

RL has gotten in the way of me easily playing any of my turns. My intentions are to get back on the wagon today (along with returning to posting at 'poly).

Hopefully those plans pan out.

I've never dropped out of a PBEM game, but if I'm slowing things up too terribly it might be wise to find a replacement for me if I don't get back in within the next week. :-(

Fine, I'm happy to give him a few more days. I understand that RL can prevent play, but not even notifying anyone for a month is just rude.

Well I'm sorry, for the past month having enough money to put food on the table has kind of been more of a priority than doing anything with the computer.

[H0bbes]

So how long is too long?

[Hercules]

Just keeping the game alive.

[H0bbes]

Personally I think that this is long enough without any commitment, communication, or timetable from FF. I vote for a replacement.

Flameflash posted in our private ACDG3 forum a few days ago, so I hoped he would be able to find some time to post theturn.

Unless this is about a new turn (I sent a turn on July 31st) and given that the new turn was not properly sent to me (corrupted by your virus checker, Hobbes) then I think I am highly due for an apology from you by now.

If it is not a new turn we are talking about, then I apologize, my work schedule recently changed in preparation for school, and it has only been roughly four days since it has been received. I've been working on the turn when I have a chance, but I do not have the time to sit down and play the whole thing out in one sitting given the age of the game.

Personally I find your lack of patience, rude temperment, and disrespect appaling Hobbes, regardless of if this is a new turn or the old one I've already played and sent.

[H0bbes]

As I have previously stated, you have posted once in 6 weeks without any mention of actually playing the turn. If there was a problem with the turn, why didn't you ever- in 6 weeks!!!!! let me know? I sent you the turn at least three times and not once did ever acknowledge its receipt via email or here on the thread. Do you, or do you not, have the turn?

Exactly how long do you think I should have waited? 8 weeks? 10 weeks? 6 months? A year?

All I want to do is play the damn game!

Personally, I find your lack of communication, lack of commitment, rudeness, and disrespect, appalling. This is not the only game that suffered from your rudeness. I note that BE2 was also held up without you bothering to take 3 minutes to inform the other players of your situation.

I've been having major comp trouble the last week or so. If the 2253 turn was sent to me, I never got it.

I think what has happened is this: Flameflash sent 2253 to Mongoose, but Mongoose never received it.

In the meantime, Flameflash was looking after RL

[Hercules]

we need to hear from Mong?

Mong's last post was 15 July.
