from a post in the Private PTW ISDG Forum (of which all of the players in this game are members of..)

Quote:

Just Piping in for a very short bit..... Still out helping to clean up Florida from the Hurricanes. And we will still have peaple out with a few leftover crews, after the first of the year. I'm working 12+ hour days, 7 days a week and driving around all of the county (Orange Co., Fl). I have had very, very little time to myself, little alone to even sit down at my computer.....

And you should see all of the devestation... there are a LOT of blue tarps (US Army Corp of Engineeres & FEMA Temp covers), new roofs, crushed in roof, condemded houses and houses under repair from the storms. Also, all of our wooded areas have a TON of new dead wood and will create a major problem, for the next several years, with fires (especially if we get a drought like we had a few years ago). You can't run Tractors through a wooded area, to create fire breaks, if there are a bunch of downed trees in the way........

But I'm still going (and going, and going, just call me the Energizer E_T

). It was a very, very good thing, that I had broken myself away from this,

From my Position in the PTWISDG (MoI) and the game itself. I was becoming Obsessive and suffering from massive depression and a failing "Marrage" too boot.

Quote:

just before all of this (the Hurricanes, etc.) had happened..... I'm enjoying this, even though I have to practically babysit a bunch of greedy work crews, who are only in this for the $$$$$$$$. Granted, I DO get payed very good for this, BUT, I am doing this to help my fellow Floridian/Human.

Anyways, I must go for now.

Currently, I'm "on Call" because my Crew (a Sand Crew that was going around the County, filling in Stump Holes) had Quit (the company they worked for had completed their Contract Obligations) and are in the Process of Contract Renegotiation because they will be working directly for the Main Contractor for the North part of the County. I work for a company (my job is listed as Part Time/Temporary) that is part of the Contract to Monitor and assure safety and FEMA requrements, so if there isn't a crew for me to Monitor, I don't work. We had planned to take from Dec 21st to Jan 2 off, but I'm CURRENTLY off for the duration, but my boss is atleast looking at me Monitoring a Sod Crew that is going in to Several County Parks, but they are still trying to set that up, so I could be headed out the Door at a moment's notice.....

But at this current time, I'm actually "Free" to take a look at this save and send it off. But, Please understand, I might get called away at anytime.... But in the Meantime, I'm loading up C3C for the first time in months and will try to get the save out the door ASAHP.

But, I'll atleast have up until I go back to work on the 3rd to get some turns out the door. Hehe, maybe I'll even have time to get some alternate players setup for some of my games....

so is a replacement needed?

E_T · December 19, 2004, 13:55

Well, I hope not, but I'll try to look at a couple of people who I might want to play the game in my stead (atleast on a Temporary Basis), but we shall see. Please realize, at this current point in time, I can't make too may promises, but I'll do my best (as the other players in this game can all attest to).

370 BC save has been sent to OPD.

Grandpa Troll · December 19, 2004, 17:34

Thanks

hmm..nice way of putting it

Gramps

E_T · December 24, 2004, 22:01

NYE has volunteered to help me with this game, if I'm unable to play it for a time. I trust him (along awith a few others) to play this game for me as he is very familiar with how and why I do some of the things that I do.

To that end, because He's having problems with DL's from his e-mail, I'm posting my last save here for him to DL.

[EDIT] Attachment deleted, as NYE now has the save. [/edit]

350bc to BigFree

BigFree · December 29, 2004, 16:01

Turn sent to ET and nye....and posted here...

Paddy · January 4, 2005, 01:08

330ad to BigFree

and how did E_T disappear so thoroughly?

BigFree · January 4, 2005, 04:07

The turn previous saw a stack of my troops kill a stack of ET's and capture 4 of his Cats...I think that may have led to ET's retirement of his Civ. It looks to be a 3 man race now.

I think it was OPD who took over for SR....turn to OPD.

Paddy · January 4, 2005, 04:17

so after all this time he lost a few troops then quit

that is priceless

BigFree · January 4, 2005, 08:51

Well, it may also be that he realized that he would not be able to play his turns regulary; or it could be a combo of the two.

Or, it could just be he realized it was a losing battle and didn't want to have to subject nye or anyone else to that kind of position.

Thanks for the game ET.
