FG: Nuclear War XXXI: The Christmas that Time Forgot

[Sparrowhawk]

I would really like to see a smiley face in one of your posts........surely you don't think I intentionally waited in order to corrupt your chances? At the time I posted the 1 hour warning I only had one set of orders (yours) and while you are correct, updating would have given you a definite edge, I didn't think it appropriate to update with only one set of orders out of three, despite my warning that I would update in 24 hours.

I hope there are no hard feelings, I want this game to be over and had I updated earlier it would be closer to that but I didn't want to take my own wishes into consideration so I waited for the other orders ( again ).

There are no hard feelings, but I wouldn't have sent an attack order if you hadn't said you were going to start being strict about the deadlines. Thus, I believe was the appropriate smiley to use.

[fishsticks]

Well that's kind of dishonest then. The entire point behind you posting the 24-hour-day clause was that you were actually going so stick to it. If you were going to say that you'll update after 24 hours unless you don't have everyone's orders, then your courageous stand is meaningless.
In short, I think he's got a legitimate beef in the post right after you posted results, though the kind of irritated sarcasm in the most recent post doesn't help anything.

[joncha]

Irritated sarcasm always helps.

fish, it is a well known ploy by the gm to threaten to update without them and then let them get orders in.

This game will soon be 'The Easter that time forgot'

Day 24:

No secret orders today.

Spaced set out to rebuild the city of Prancer and on hearing this Joncha sent two gifts for the newborn Reindeer but Jonny sent a gift of his own to Joncha, so the Jonchan gifts never arrived in Spaceville.

Jonny also sent 3 gifts of his own to Joncha, destroying the cities of Sepidlida, Spirulida and Octopoda.

Edit: okay I reread the above and I don't understand it myself......Spaced built a city, Joncha tried to send 2 nukes to Spaced, Jonny sent 3 nukes and a spy to Joncha

Could it be fate? Could it be fate that the Christmas-themed game will end on the 25th day?

I suppose it won't.

BTW, since I'll have spotty internet for much of the next week, if this game does end, someone count me in on the sign-up thread for the next one.
