It looks like I may need a sub. I have not had internet access for the past week. I am still working on that. Also my dad has gotten into a very serious motorcycle accident. If you find a sub, that's fine. I may still be able to play, but not sure when I can pick it back up. Very sorry to have staled last few turns. We were just getting to the good part.

Sorry to hear about you real life problems Strictly Rockers. Hope they sort themselves out soon and that your father makes a full and speedy recovery.

Saarub.

Great to hear you fancy stepping into the Vanheim shoes. Certainly a bonus to all the players if a still competitive nation can avoid being turned AI. So a big thanks from everyone for offering up your time and talents for this game

Have sent you a PM.

I'm sorry to hear the bad news Rockers, hope your dad is ok. Best of luck, hope to have you back playing soon

Calahan · #**165** September 11th, 2008, 03:38 PM

Ok everyone, looks like we're back up to a full compliment of players now as 'Saarud' has kindly and bravely taken over the Vanheim position. Apologies for the delay, but hope you all agree it was worth it to prevent losing another nation to the AI.

Also, I've taken over from Chrispedersen as the admin for this game, so any problems or delay requests please PM me or post in the game thread.

Game on

Aarrgh, just realised that 'anticipatient' (who appears to have gone AWOL in all his games) is playing Agartha in this game, so a replacement will need to be sought asap (I thought it was someone else who was doing the stale turns, so just checked the thread to find out who it was)

Will look for a sub now, and delay the game slightly if needed to try and find one. Agartha are one of the top nations, so definitely don't want to see them AI-ed.

Calahan · #**167** September 28th, 2008, 02:40 PM

Ok, looks like this game will need to be delayed again

Sorry folks.

My request for a sub for Agartha/'anticipatient' got answered quickly, but I haven't heard anything back yet from the player who showed an interest in taking them on. So the sub process is currently in limbo. I will give the player another 12hrs to get back to me, if not then I'll ask again for a sub.

Also, 'Executor'/Mictlan seems to have appeared briefly on a few other game threads yesterday (27th Sep) requesting a 48hr delay due to internet problems. Not sure if he forgot to post the same message on this thread or not, but I'm going to assume he did forget (or lost his internet before getting to it) and delay the game slightly for him.

Sorry again for the recent hold-ups. But hopefully the game can sun smoothly again once a few of these minor bumps have been sorted out

Calahan · #**168** September 29th, 2008, 04:48 PM

Right everyone, 'MadFrancis' has very kindly agreed to take over Agartha from 'anticipatient'. So a big thank you to him for that

Agartha appears to be all setup now, and will probably be in touch with several of you regarding current Agarthian diplomatic issues in the very near future (so please check your PM's).

We're only waiting on Mictlan/'Executor' now for the current turn. I'm guessing he still has the internet problems he posted about on the 27th Sept. While the friendly side of me would like to delay the game until his situation is clearer, the admin side of me says there's already been a long delay for the current turn (the current turn file came out on the 24th Sept) and a further delay of the current turn would hold up the game for just too long, and we'd risk other players dropping out as a result due to inactivity.

I hope the game can get back to smooth running now

but guess another delay might unfortunately be around the corner if Mictlan/'Executor' stale again the following turn.

Best of Luck all, and let those battles commence

Calahan · #**169** October 1st, 2008, 04:43 PM

I've delayed the current turn by 48hrs to give Mictlan/'Executor' one last chance to appear before looking for a sub. My guess is Executor will get back on the internet properly first chance he gets. But right now, when that might be is anyones guess. Sometimes problems just happen and they take longer to solve than you first expect.

I will start looking for a temp sub sometime tomorrow if he doesn't show up overnight (UK time). I think this game is proving to be a bit jinxed at the moment.

Executor · #**170** October 6th, 2008, 09:35 AM

I'm back in the game ( hope I am, haven't looked at my turn yet),
sorry for the delay everyone.

Wow! I don't know how many turn I staled but gems, slaves and gold stoked up, watch your backs now!
