Ok, looks like this game will need to be delayed again Sorry folks.

My request for a sub for Agartha/'anticipatient' got answered quickly, but I haven't heard anything back yet from the player who showed an interest in taking them on. So the sub process is currently in limbo. I will give the player another 12hrs to get back to me, if not then I'll ask again for a sub.

Also, 'Executor'/Mictlan seems to have appeared briefly on a few other game threads yesterday (27th Sep) requesting a 48hr delay due to internet problems. Not sure if he forgot to post the same message on this thread or not, but I'm going to assume he did forget (or lost his internet before getting to it) and delay the game slightly for him.

Sorry again for the recent hold-ups. But hopefully the game can sun smoothly again once a few of these minor bumps have been sorted out

[Calahan]

Right everyone, 'MadFrancis' has very kindly agreed to take over Agartha from 'anticipatient'. So a big thank you to him for that

Agartha appears to be all setup now, and will probably be in touch with several of you regarding current Agarthian diplomatic issues in the very near future (so please check your PM's).

We're only waiting on Mictlan/'Executor' now for the current turn. I'm guessing he still has the internet problems he posted about on the 27th Sept. While the friendly side of me would like to delay the game until his situation is clearer, the admin side of me says there's already been a long delay for the current turn (the current turn file came out on the 24th Sept) and a further delay of the current turn would hold up the game for just too long, and we'd risk other players dropping out as a result due to inactivity.

I hope the game can get back to smooth running now but guess another delay might unfortunately be around the corner if Mictlan/'Executor' stale again the following turn.

Best of Luck all, and let those battles commence

[Calahan]

I've delayed the current turn by 48hrs to give Mictlan/'Executor' one last chance to appear before looking for a sub. My guess is Executor will get back on the internet properly first chance he gets. But right now, when that might be is anyones guess. Sometimes problems just happen and they take longer to solve than you first expect.

I will start looking for a temp sub sometime tomorrow if he doesn't show up overnight (UK time). I think this game is proving to be a bit jinxed at the moment.

[Executor]

I'm back in the game ( hope I am, haven't looked at my turn yet),
sorry for the delay everyone.


Wow! I don't know how many turn I staled but gems, slaves and gold stoked up, watch your backs now!

[Zenzei]

Just wanted to say thanks to you Calahan, you have certainly done good job in keeping this game running as smoothly as possible.

Personally I don't mind at all if the turns get delayed a bit because I'm playing in Kingmaker + RAND and both those games are in late stages and take lot of time.

[Calahan]

Thanks for the kind words Zenzei This is my first ever go at being admin for a game, and while the unfortunate stales and drop outs we've had have given me a far from perfect introduction, I hope I've managed to keep some sort of flow going to the game. And I'm happy not to have lost any nation to the AI yet


Great to have you back Executor

Tried to do my best regarding delaying the game for you, but without going nuts. I would have tried to find a sub for the last turn if my weekend hadn't been unexpectedly manic. Good to hear Mictlan are still in pretty good shape though. Maybe you can become the force to blackout Caelum's growing power @Zenzei


To All

I recently changed the game timer to 72hrs to give Executor more chance to continue without suffering excessive stales. But I will be changing it back to 48hrs from the next turn onwards to see if we can get back to a normal schedule I will change the game to 72hrs hours either after 2-3 requests, or once the game gets somewhere past turn 50.

I was caught by an unexpected internet reconfiguration (or something along those lines). Need at least 24 more hours (will post if more needed). Sorry for the inconvinience.

[Calahan]

Sorry to hear about your internet problems Aapeli. Have delayed the current turn by 24hrs.
