Kidding aside, I gather the turns in Ankle Bitters are not as long to do as, say, in a game such as Galactic Combat Three? If so I believe I could join, as most of my games don't need too much time. (That is, if you exclude my own silliness when I forgot to send my turns... It happened a couple of times, but I swear I thought I had sent the turns to PBW. Is that PBW own poltergeist striking again? *Whistles innocently*)

I'd be honored if you'd join (while advertising the position as open for a permanent player).

Anklebiters is the longest of my game turns to do (not that that means much to you). It's also a modded game, so there is that additional bit of information you might want to know. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to do it (but I think I am a slower player than others).

The replacement needed is for an ally of Slynky, not actually for Slynky. As far as how long the turns take I don't know.

If someone were running the empire, I wouldn't have a problem with the "AI should not make changes" option being set. This would prevent anything too aweful from happening if you missed the occasional turn. Having this option set for an empire where the player has left the game entirely though I think is a bad idea. As bad as the AI is it's probably better then nothing at all.

As far as it being temporary, if you want to take over go ahead. You can play a few turns and I'll keep looking for a permanent replacment. Unless you like what you see enought o change your mind that is.

Thanks for the information Slynky, as you can see I decided to apply for the game (but I am having password issues, so I may only be able to play the next turn)

I would think I will be available for the next few weeks to come without much problem, but I may have troubles afterwards (or not). I guess we will see then.

Incidentally, It is the third game in a rather short time we are playing together if memory serves right. I swear I am not stalking you Slynky, nor spying on you, you have my word on it. *Hint hint*

ankle... is it not Last player standing ?

I did not know it was an alliance game.

(eyes scan his active games list)

I can be a permanent replacement player.

Alneyan, I have sent an email to Deccan.

Tesco, I treat pretty much all games as Last man standing. But I have not restricted anyone from forming alliances, temporary or not, in this game. As long as I am alive there will be no team victory. Once I am dead though, what others do is not my concern.

Gecko, Alneyan got it first. If he decides to stay I have no objection. But if he decides not to remain permanantly I will definetly let you know.

Oh, it's Last man standing alright...but forming alliances and working together helps one get closer to being the Last man. (or helps others as the case may be... )
