Hi Everyone
Just want to say sorry to all the players here for suddenly dropping out last October. This game had already suffered enough from problems and drop-outs before I went AWOL (plus the added problems of me being the admin at the time). All totally out of my control though. I had to go to Greece for a week due to work, but it all went pear shaped on the first day when the car I was in got hit by a truck. This began a nightmare three months in a Greek hospital, and then a dis-orientating time upon returning home trying to get things back to normal. Everything has worked out ok in the end, but it certainly did a bang-up job of buggering my life up for six months.
So like I said, sorry for disappearing like I did, and causing the inevitable problems to the stuttering flow this game had. But I'd like to thank whoever took over as admin from me ('Slobby' was it? haven't had chance to go through the thread yet to confirm it), and of course a "Thank You" to not only all the original players in this game, but also an extra thanks to all those who subbed into it during its course (wonder if this game set a record for subs?). Subs can be invaluable at keeping games interesting and balanced, and should always be well thanked for their services
Finally, can I offer my congratulations to 'Executor' and 'karnoza' on their joint victory. Very well done to the both of you. 'Executor' for being one of the original players who managed to make it through to the end, and win despite several stales that I know of. And 'karnoza' for subbing into not the greatest position ever, but managing to turn it around to such an extent that they shared the spoils in end. Hats off to both of those achievements
Look forward to playing in future games with you all, and happy gaming until the next time.
