Preponderance - Big Team Game! [1-2 subs needed!]

[Zeldor]

I must admit - I could do more. I was so fed up with PM system that I decided to skip that and send just an e-mail to everyone. I also underestimated possible problems with llamabeast's suggestion to use old name.

I totally agree about new forums. Whole community had huge hopes about the new forum. Especially with many days of down time and huge announcements. And we got one of the worst forums ever, with so many annoying things. Like they wanted to get rid of us and force us to make a new forum for that wonderful MP community. And we were quite close to that. I also agree that game should have built-in lobby system with at least info about games, even if it was just a simple interface to get game status, send/receive turns.

P.S. I think it's fair to ask you to play till your teammate finds a sub, even if you made up your mind and won't change it.

So you are going to ... postpone the game until a Sub has been found? or are you just going to expect someone to want to play Jomon that has staled its first three or four (or more) turns. Also, my teammate doesn't want to play with someone who is starting off so disadvantaged and possibly has no strategy for Jomon.

Okay then, a simple solution. I send in turn 1 (I have it in my filtered email box) rollback the game plug it in, host turn one ... everone else's orders will be exactly the same and it will put the game back on schedule easily with the least amount of hiccups.

If not, well you will probably have to find two subs (I am only guessing, but I think the idea of playing with a seriously hampered partner strikes him as unfair and a waste of time as well).

Zeldor, again I am sorry. I have admined two games now and will never do it again if I have to use these forums, I really do think you have done as great a job as one can expect with the tools you have been given. Please know that I do hold you in high esteem and none of the problems this game is having do I lay at your feet.
