Round 2 is over. We had another player eliminated by rule for missing three consecutive turns with no notice in the forum. Congradulations all who survived. The round 3 games are set up and you will have one week to get joined approved and your empire uploaded.

I know of at least one person who will be taking an extended leave during the early part of round 3. Make sure that if you are going to miss three turns in a row or more that you post something in the game forum for your round 3 game. Sending me an email is fine too, but please do not rely soley on an email to me. Email is unreliable. Posting in the forum is the only way to guarantee you won't lose your spot due to absence.

I have had some requests to take a break over the holidays. Sorry, but we aren't going to be doing that. I understand some people may not like this, but it's something I made perfectly clear to everyone before the start of round 1. You have the option of finding a replacement or allowing the AI to play your turns in your absence. But the games will go on.
