PBEM Game: Yarnspinners 2 (Running)

Ermor, Turn 12:

BAHRAAAAAAAAAIN....

*sigh*

This stale was particularly annoying as I had finished my turn, I was just waiting to send it until I got the notice E-mail, in case of diplomacy changeing my orders.

If it's super-critical to you we could re-run the turn I suppose.

It was, however, 8 days between turns 18 and 19... so I understand why Tauren just ran the turn when the natives (see previous posts by djo and puffyn) started getting restless.

A more consistent schedule would avoid these problems. Since, sadly, a more relaxed schedule doesn't seem to have prompted yarns from all the non-writers who were so excited at the beginning of the game, I propose we should return to a strict three-turns per week schedule once the summer is over.

Ok, I am back up and running (sort of). Late last night, I could not find all the mods for all my games, so I was unable to do anything about any of my turns. I do not even recall which mod I was missing from this game, for it was just too late last night and I was very tired.

Also, because my motherboard crashed in the old computer, I lost all my saved emails. I am going to try and install my old hard drive as a slave in the new computer, but I am a bit worried that I may mess it up since it was unclear from the printed instructions what exactly I should do with the jumper. So I have not done that as yet.

Meanwhile, I would appreciate if the people who sent me emails on this game would resend them so I have them all on record. I do recall that I did not reply to the latest one I received, which was perhaps from Sedna or Alneyan?

Anyway, I hope I am now past this latest crisis, though I am going out of town tomorrow for the weekend to visit the Overseer at his new college.

Are we still waiting for Alneyan or Zen?

I think it's important to keep the game moving along...

Well, I finally got a login and I wanted my first post to be kudos for the writing in the original Yarnspinners- Which I will be wasting all day reading (only skimmed so far to see quality). And additional Kudos for everything so far on Yarnspinners II. I esp. identify with Sedna's take on R'lyeh and I do the same thing when I play. I can't believe a community like this exists kudos for everyone...

[quantum_mechani]

Glad you liked the writing, hopfully I can supply a little more of it...

BTW, I saw you log on to the dominions channel, it is kind of empty on weekdays but on the weekend it is pretty active.

Seconded; Tauren knows about my status (or lack thereof), so I don't think he was waiting for me. I hope so, anyway. If you can find another player for my little nation, feel free to do so: it should be a player interested in spinning though, as my Pangaea isn't exactly shaping up to become a major power.

*Grumbles* My time on that computer seems to be running out, so I'll cut that post here. */Grumbles*

[Sedna]

From Tauren's latest e-mail I assume Zen has staled these last few turns. That would explain why the Ulmish attacks on Ermor's borders appear to have gone unchallenged. Zen, are you around? If we don't hear from him soon we should find a sub or go AI (the AI plays Ermor moderately decently).

Any readers/lurkers interested in subbing? Aegis?

Alneyan, you should try to stay in. I enjoy your yarns a lot and you might find that writing them leads to you doing better...

It is not super critical, though if it were easy I would certainly like to re-run it. In the future though, I would really like a warning mail or post if I am about to be force hosted.
