If this game ever gets off the ground again, I think I'd like to be replaced. Don't anyone take this the wrong way, but I really hate being a part of games that don't move along at a quick rate...and this one doesn't.

If it gets going again, just have the replacement PM me for the password...or have the admin just change it.

Sorry guys.

It's because of E_T and Hurricane Charley.

If E_T finds more time, it should pick back up. But if you want quit while IN FIRST PLACE, I suppose that's your right.

I just get tired of PBEMs that don't move. This isn't the first time it has stopped completely for several weeks at a time. This has happened at least three or four times where the wait between turns is upwards of 20 days or more.

It's no coincidence that my favorite PBEMs are Grand Passage which has been running at a pace of almost a turn a day, and Mesopotamia which is close on it's heels. Both of those had a few fits and the requisite drop-off for vacations, etc., but neither has had the sheer amount of down-time that this game or the two Age of Discovery games I was in at MZO have had.

I certainly recognize that not everyone can always play their turns the same day they get the save (and in this current case E_T certainly has an excuse with Hurricane Charley), but I'm one of those players that tries to play his PBEMs as soon as possible without fail. If not everyone in a PBEM can make that commitment to the game on at least a "most-of-the-time" basis, then I'd rather not be a part of the PBEM.

If this gets moving ever again I said I would take over from MZ... email *name* at mzocentral.net

MrWhereItsAt · August 31, 2004, 03:51

Cool Panzer. We'll keep you in mind when it does start to move.

E_T · September 25, 2004, 22:34

Hurricanes Charley, Francis and now Jeanne. I was also away from home for 2 weeks, working some of the clean-up, after Francis, in South Florida. I'm sorry about the delay, but this is the first time, since Charley (6 weeks now) that I've even gotten around to firing up and playing any civ at all.

FAM 4, ISDG #1, Seafaring, Arrakis & Tournament #4 all sent off.

Now to go hide from Jeanne....

MrWhereItsAt · September 26, 2004, 23:53

I think we understand, E_T. It's still making headlines halfway around the world.

Just stay safe.

E_T · October 1, 2004, 03:56

Master Zen is being replaced with Panzer32. Save sent to him, with CC's to all other players.

I was without power for 1 whole week, after Charley. Then I was suffering from Depression, from not having a job and my ex-DP (of 8 1/2 years) moving out right before Charley (and having to go and hide from it at his new place, ne less. Same with Francis). Then getting a job that was working 12+ hours, cleaning up after Charley. Then Francis, where I was again without power for 6 days (of which, I was packing to go to South Florida with no AC on the last of those days and Francis was a 2 day + storm...). Then spending more than 2 weeks near Fort Lauderdale with the clean-up down there (I did get to have a little bit of fun down there, as that area has a large Gay Community

). And getting back just in time to get ready for Jeanne.....

To say that it's been interesting is an understatement.....

Anyways Rhoth, I hope that you do reconsider continuing to play this game, it's just now getting fairly interesting, IMHO.

So uh... who was replacing Rhothaerill again? I sorta need to know who to send the save to.

Go ahead and send to me. I decided to stay and play.

Arnelos · October 3, 2004, 14:39

Rhothaerill · October 22, 2004, 18:48

Whatever happened with this game? I thought it was about to start up again and it died after a turn.

MrWhereItsAt · October 22, 2004, 19:05

I THINK the game is with E_T again (I'd have sent it there). He said he'd be away for a couple of weeks. Again, I wonder whether we should find out if we should replace him or not. He said he wanted to continue in it, but he hasn't been back since

Panzer32 · October 23, 2004, 02:39

yeah, E_T got a job or something cleaning hurricane damage. He was back for a couple days but then said he'd be away for 2 more weeks. I guess its been about that or more...

Arnelos · November 16, 2004, 18:29

We probably need to replace E_T. Suggestions?

MrWhereItsAt · November 17, 2004, 01:28

Paddy? Aqualung?

Rhothaerill · November 17, 2004, 02:19

The only problem is that E_T is the only one who has both his password and the admin password. Unless we can get hold of him somehow then this game won't move on.

Panzer32 · December 20, 2004, 11:43

E_T appears to be back, at least for a bit. Sent to Arnelos.

E_T · December 24, 2004, 21:55

I can still be reached, via e-mail.... But then, I sometimes don't even get a chance to look at it, but I do look at it whenever I can. Plus, Poly e-mails me when I get a PM.
