This makes sense...

Again, you need to place yourself in someone else's shoes Gyphon. You continue to discuss lazy hosts and not the players themselves. Manually processing turns is a lot of extra work for game hosts that were hosting games on PBW (which involved zero work to process turns) because it took no time.

Your "arguments" are trying to tell us that your post meant one thing, and one thing only. This is what is wrong. You may have meant one thing, but what you said is not quite what you meant to say. Slinging insults is no basis for an argument, and that is nearly all that you have done here.

Changing your name to "staying as long as i want" is just childish obstinance i shouldn't be saying anything if i truly want you to have the Last word and leave but im still legally a minor so i figure i can afford a small amount of childish obstinance what im saying here is this i just updated my star trek mod and fully intend to go play it right now but hereby give my full support to Imperator Fyron and DavidG and encourage you to grow up and go do what you did when you weren't "concerned with PBW"-namely get out of our up til now friendly forum

Gyphon, I completely understand your frustration. If you have a game owner willing to handle turns via pbem and players unwilling to play there isn't much we can do about it unfortunatly. What you should do is discuss it with the game owner and the other players rather then venting in this thread. Chances are a good number of the players aren't following this thread and so aren't seeing your Posts anyway. For that matter you may have players that weren't all that regular when the game was on PBW. The game owner can run the turn without all the players turns, jsut as PBW can. But again, that is something you should take up with the game owner and players directly. This particular thread isn't really the place for it.

Ok everyone, this thread is not the place for this discussion. Gyphon is going to take his complaint to the game owner. We don't need to continue the argument of whether this is a flame or that is a flame. Let it drop or I'll lock the thread.

Geo, Can you give us an update on PBW, so I don't have to read thru the past emails to find out.
Thanks.

I belive Geo is now waiting until Tues. when a DSL technician and a phone technician will come to his house at the same time to work it out.
