Glad I'm going faster.

I have no problem with waiting for him to return. We all have lives and some days you just don't have a chance to go on your comp. If he is gonna be out for a day or two, then I don't mind waiting.

Ok..so when I go to build a church for my Lord in Honduras in 3 weeks, I will be gone from May 13 at 0100 am est and return IIRC May 22 same time or there abouts..

Will everyone feel the same????


Just asking if anyone will or not.....

I can have a plan but just curious is all.....


Peace

nope, building a church is something different.
no, seriously, 3 weeks are something different.

i know, you will say we agreed on 48 hour rule (we did, didnt we ?). but eventually its a matter of the people if they want to next someone. okay, then again you do want to next dimytes.

...ummm..to risk the chance of sounding like a smart-tail, you ARE a Math major correct?

Just asking..since how is 9 days equating to 3 weeks?

My point is that if I were to take my turn say on the 12th...should I "technically" be in good shape if everyone took their time since it would only take 5 people to take 48 hours each and it would get me through without being nexted?

Just asking, since here we go again with "modifying" and exploiting the rules to suit different people....
Im ok if the same is done for me......

even if everyone says NO to my request then the most one could do is next me TWO TIMEs..correct?

I mean you would have to give me the initial 48 hours before nexting me.. and then once the turns made their rounds you would have to await the next 48 hours.....ect.

im sorry, i mixed something up there.

[Mathemagician]

well, let "Major Math" do some calculations then.

every player has a guarantued 48 hours if im not mistaken.

Dimytes got the turn at about 13:00 Apolyton time on wednesday. he said he will be back on friday evening, which is 1 hour earlier in Apolyton time. so lets assume he gets back at 20:00 CET, 19:00 GMT (or Apolyton time)
this makes 6 hours that he is late on his 48 hours.

whereas, if you, Troll, are away for 9 days (which incidentally equals 3 weeks if we define a week to be 3 days ) and happen to get the turn just after you left, you would be 7 days late once you get back.
even if you play your turn directly before you leave and it takes a full 48 hours to go around, you are still 5 days late after applying 48 hours rule.

so, yes, its much less of a delay to wait for Dimytes to come back than for you to come back.
the question thus is: do we give Dimytes an additional 6 hours beyond what he has a right on anyway ?
and do we give you full 5 days beyond that time ?

of course, Dimytes didnt specifically ask for being given this time, but considering we have waited as long as this, i say lets wait until tomorrow eve too.

another interesting question is this:
can you possibly take a CTP CD with you and find an internet connection somewhere in nicaragua ?

turn 8 ?

seven turns played for all 6 players and turn 15 sent to Protoss

[Dimytes]

Thats what happen when you copy and paste, not even the first turn number was correct, it should be 15 not 14
I guess I have had too many "Pils" and "Weiss beir" in Germany
