New Kinda Noob game Starting

[Xanatos]

i dont mind 3 day turns, but this practice of continually pushing back turns is rediculous, please set the hosting to 72 hours (or less) and lets go forward with this game. If you can't make at least one turn in 3 days, quit.

[Finalgenesis]

I will second the motion with a more moderate tone, if players with admin powers need extension, it should be posted here and notified to other players the reasons as a minimal courtesy and due consideration for fellow players, rather then consecutive 2-4 days delay consistently without a word or response to questions raised (on top of hosting interval changed stealthily).

Basically, if players with admin access needs to extend (especially 2-4 days of extensions consistently) or change host settings, please communicate to the other very human players involved in the same game as you are.

btw, hosting interval has already been set to 72 hrs some time back (not by me, I didn't notice til now either), you may not have noticed due to extensions.

To clarify, I believe there are 2 players with admin access including me. I extended by 12 hrs one time as posted previously (that and force hosted the turns when all turns are handed in to speed things up), all other extensions shown in the admin log are from elsewhere.

In my experience games that have frequent and lengthy delays usually die a slow death as players loose interest, and I would not like to see that happen in this game. Lets try and stick with our designated turn around.

[Finalgenesis]

I will need an extension of 6 hrs (I have already extended it), Apologies.

On another note, Oceania is doing much better then I thought... I'd have expected Arco to roll over them already.

[Xanatos]

Oceania (Me) is holding its own, the lords of the watery depths have decreed all waters as sacred, and under our rightful domain. The tritons have spoken.

I think I'm going to look for a sub for myself. Within the past 4-6 months, I signed up for several Dominions games... too many, really. I never expected to wind up in the endgame of 3 games at once, and I'm a little burnt on Dominions. This is a very good game, and I'd love to see it through to the end... but that's a long way off and I just don't know if I have it in me. I've already had 2 stales within the past 5 turns or so, and that's not like me.

So, if there are no objections, I'll post for a sub. Let me know what you think.

[Finalgenesis]

Certainly, will put the game on hold until a sub is found, good luck elsewhere.

If you could take the time to brief any sub you find on the situation that would be good too.

I can certainly understand the fatigue, and I found it takes a certain mindset to handle setbacks constantly (which is a constant in MP, even if you win at the end).

[Finalgenesis]

I don't see a sub seeking thread and have taken the liberty make one.

Thanks for the heads up btw. I can't state the number of times I have to put up with silent quitting scumbags disrupting a game (Almost every single MP game I ever played in, in fact), so this is definitely a refreshing change.

[Groundworm]

I was just about to create a thread seeking a sub, but I see you beat me to it. Thanks for taking the time to do that, it's appreciated.

Allow me to take the time to say that I realize I've created some difficulty in this game with my misinterpretation of my NAP with Finalgenesis, my multiple unstated delays and turn postponements, several undesired stales, and a general lack of communication, and now bailing. I apologize for all of these, and it's with some disappointment that I'm requesting a sub. I would like to see how things go in my war against Oceania and test out my latest ideas, but I'm just spread too thin and am not giving this game the attention it deserves.

You're all providing an excellent game, and I'm sorry to have been so difficult.

[Finalgenesis]

hmmm no one is jumping at subbing for EA arco yet.
