Well its going to force host in 3 hours and wonder if drool is going to stale.

If something happened to his internet or his computer or something then its ok but if he comes back is like oh I just didnt feel like doing my turns then there is a problem.

Or if he went away or something that could be a possibility. But from my understanding if people leave for a week or something they get someone to sub for them for a week.

If he wasnt staling and just doing his turns like the Last hour before it hosts then we couldnt ***** but he is staling in at least two games that we know of and probably more games that we do not, so i say we can ***** all we want.

In our 2nd game it looked like he just ignored it but for this one I have no clue...maybe he will be back soon I hope.

Hi all
I am getting pretty impatient to do my turns too. I think Drool staled 2 of the Last 3 & looks like doing so again. I reckon we should switch him to AI if we do not hear from him by this time tomorrow if not sooner. He looks pretty doomed based on the current alliances.

I had some correspondence with him & he seemed pretty fed up, though I may be reading how I would feel in his position into it. I got the impression he did not like the diplomacy aspects but he could maybe tell us more. We had a very good relationship in one game (well he gave me all his stuff as he got squished).

It's a tricky business innit?

Oh & gg Tannath & please PM me re Blah blah blah!

Pickles

I appreciate your response Pickles and I agree if he elaborated on what was wrong for him, we might have all learned something.

I know I can't accomadate someone else's objections if i don't know about them. This way (ignoring the game or dragging his feet) only tells me he is a petty little player and not worth the concern.

Drool is no longer browsing the forums and did not read my pms...

The server is counting down the Last 60 minutes before it hosts and to put another marker on drool's stale turns.

The only response I can give is WTF.

Well he did not bother to and we now know he is not dead so I say we ask Norfleet to make him AI. Any dissenters?

Harsh - I think we may all be a little impatient for more turns & while I do appreciate your pov, as I am desperate too, I think we did need to give him a chance - which we now have by my reckoning . How's that for sentence structure?

I am for the AI suggestion too. I am fine with him going AI now but he should at least go AI tomorrow if he doesn't respond.

Going out to eat, will do my turn in an hour, along with my other games.

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

I have botted him. If he bothers to take his turn, the botting will be automatically rescinded, but otherwise, he has been botted.

Enjoy!
