Glad you're back, King Lear. No problem by me. These things happen.

But Hubris is right, this game needs to speed up. These are supposed to be the quick easy turns. With no activity, people stop checking. I hesitate to set it back to 24hr until I know everyone's noticed we're moving again.

As a partial fix for that, I've figured out the email notification. If you'll send me an email address, I can have the game email you when the turn runs.

[Arholly]

Rumors of battle between Pangaea and Arcosephale are completely false.

[thejeff]

All such rumors are false. Arcosephale is a peace loving nation, dedicated to the study of elemental magic and the worship of the one true god, who has finally returned from his mysterious absence in answer to our frevent prayers.
(It is rumored he was muttering something about insects when he arose again, but the priestesses disagree about what this could mean.)

Any claims of massing armies or plans of conquest are simply vile lies, probably spread to distract from the rumor-mongers own plans.
