I am also against another restart (and for the same reason as huntsman).

Could Pasha play Griffon's turn? I would have no problem with that. Even if he just recruits a researcher, that's better for Griffon than a stale.

I would be happy to play Griffin's turn, since no one is stepping up to play for him. I have not received a response from his brother.

I am still waiting for Bill Paxton to send my his .2h file for turn 3. I sent him another reminder.

Might I suggest that you take Bill's turn as well, if you don't get one by a reasonable time this evening?

And in the future, if people don't get their turns in, perhaps just let them stale - you can't be forever doing people's turns, especially as the turns get to be more complicated than simply buying a researcher and setting the previously bought mage to research.

You're absolutely right, Cainehill... if I don't get a turn from Bill tonight, I will play his turn tomorrow. Then, I would suggest a 48-hour-ish schedule for hosting in the future. Let's get this game going!

Ok. I played Griffin's and Bill's turns this morning, and hosted for turn 4. You will all receive your turns soon by email.

Hello All:

I have everyone's turns, except King Lear. A friend was going to play the turn as a proxy, but the friend has not responded to any of my emails. So, I sent one last email. If I don't receive it by 10pm eastern time, then I will play the turn to prevent a stale turn for the King.

We gotta get this game moving!

Pasha

"We gotta get this game moving!"

Indeed. I would suggest that you set a fixed hosting time. If a turn isn't in, then go ahead and let them stale. After all, that's what would happen if we were on a server.

Cainehill · #**329** August 8th, 2005, 09:13 PM

Yeah - it's a little different if they contact you and ask for more time, but otherwise.... I know some people like PBEM games because they don't necessarily stale, if the host delays things for them, but with 17 players I suspect we'll never get anywhere if we delay everytime someone doesn't get their turn in.

(And since it's 48 hour schedule, and the Pasha is sending out status emails, and turns should only take 5 minutes right now.... People ought to be able to get their turns in.)

I will wait until 10 pm Portland time. Then I will host.
