"Needs to respond" - I take it you sent him a message reminding him of the game, asking him wtf? Sometimes people forget about a particular game.

I personally sent him two pms. One was after the first stale and another after the third stale. The first pm was read but no response. The second pm has not been read still.

He has been doing his turns in another game we have him in but this one except for today when he staled in that one too. I don't know why he would stale 4 days in a row in one game but not in the other game until now. And he should of at least replied or something because he did read my first pm.

Sounds like someone I'd want to keep out of games I was in.

If he has an explanation if he shows up then it would be ok but if not then yeah it would be a bad idea to partake in games he is in.

No, of course not. My god is taking out the commander with wait and attack rear. The archers just have to survive the charging knights long enough to keep my commander from autorouting. That is the plan anyway...

The enemy priest is far too powerful for a regular assassin to kill. Only my god can kill that dude.

actually, i saw your pretender, and one-on-one with a priest i doubt he'll break a sweat. i'd be more worried about getting swarmed. it'll all come down to timing.. you're probably puttin your guys way at the back and doing the classic "wait for it.... wait for it... waaiiit foor it!!!..." while the knights advance leaving their priest vulnerable.. but doesn't the AI always leave bodyguards on their casters?

They would presumably get mauled by anything close to a SC pretender - though I suppose they may slow him down enough for the archers to break. I would be more concerned about badly implemented orders - the Pretender getting distracted & smacking into the back of the knights. Seems pretty random what happens with attack rear but flying helps a lot.
