Done.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? Experience however shows that this just isn't true. People just allways wait till the last moment to submit, and if something comes up then, well...

The current turn will be submitted, but I would prefer not to submit any further turns until Monday.

With the 24h added to this turn the next one should only host monday afternoon/evening unless everyone miraculously decides to submit their turns way before deadline, so you should be fine. I'll be keeping an eye out of course.

I could use this extension this time too, so I hope it's happening

[Zeldor]

thanks, don't forget about your PMs

[Amhazair]

Extended the timer with 2 more hours since Ermor was about to stale. His previous stales and almost stales were all due to just missing the deadline, so that should hopefully be enough.

[Zeldor]

Yeah! Not that I like Ermor, but staling is bad

P.S. Fomoria will sell D gems. 1:1 for S, worse ratios for A and E.

I told you this would happen. but you guys wouldn't listen to me.

[Amhazair]

Let it go Ghoul. We're talking about a minor delay. If I hadn't caught it he would have staled yes, but the occasional stale, while regratable, isn't the end of the world. And if for some reason a problem does arise, I'll deal with it, as I've done before. There's no need for snide backseat driver commentary.

[Amhazair]

Well, still no news from Ermor, despite several attempts to contact him either by PM or e-mail. It has now been over a week since he last showed signs of life.

Given the importance of the position I'll give him another 24h to show up* and if he doesn't... Well, I'd hate to have to do it, but I will then have to try to find a sub for a large empire in end-game with a long way still to go before game end.


*Yes, that's 24h more than previous disappearance acts have gotten. No that isn't fair to those others, but it's still a different thing to replace your average nation than it is to do so with the game's leader. (Not that either of the previously replaced players had shown up 24h later anyway, mind.)

[PriestyMan]

i think Burden of time killed him just like it killed his mages

[Zeldor]

Well, maybe post for a sub now, just in case? So we won't have to postpone tomorrow for finding a sub...

And yeah, position is good, so I doubt he'd be abandoning it - just smth happening. He is in China after all, they could have suddenly banned shrapnel or gmail or everything.
