I'd rather wait for a while, but I think you should stick to your rules.
I know his shortterm intentions, so yes maybe find a sub and I give him some directions. If Wenz doesn't show up in 1 or 2 weeks, the sub stays.

What do you all think?

Grizz.

Sonnybonds

Yeah we can t put the game onhold until Wenz shows up again.

Bernout

I'm running the game with very few rules so the goal would be to come up with a consensus from everyone on how to proceed. My proposal to wait until today (Sat) was just to put something on the table to get us started.

I don't mind waiting longer if that is what you guys want to do. How does next Saturday, Mar 15 sound?

I'd rather not wait any longer. To not hear from him at all seems weird. If he simply has "lost his connection", and the game was important to him, it's pretty easy to walk down to an internet cafe, the local library, or a friend with a computer, and post a quick message. The other possibility is that something "big" has happened like a death in the family or lost job...something waaay more important than a game, and if that's the case, he's likely not coming back to finish this one anyway.

I say we get a sub in as soon as possible and restart, and then I'm with Grizz...if Wenz doesn't show up, the sub stays.

The only other alternative is to turn it over to the AI, and that's only an option if we can't get a sub.

I'm also concerned that it sets a bad precedent that anytime you don't make a couple turns that the game will stop and wait for you. As mentioned above, a simple e-mail could have been sent from a library, school, internet cafe, etc., and he hasn't done that.

I think we have 1 or 2 subs waiting. Let Grizzly get one of them up to speed and let's proceed.

While it is true that we don't want to get into the habit of stopping the game every time someone disappears without notice, at the same time we want the game to be as fun as possible. Wars are the most fun when both sides are actively playing. And since Wenz has been at the top of the leaderboard for most of the game, his nation has a significant impact on all nations around him, even those he isn't at war with.

Since this is the first time we've encountered a situation like this, we can only hope we won't get too many more of 'em.

Let's go ahead and get a sub to handle Zulu ASAP. If you know anyone who is interested then please send them my way. I'll start up the server once we get that taken care of, Wenz shows up, or Mar 15 rolls around...whichever happens first.

Sound like a plan?

Sounds fair. I have contacted some players from previous games I have played in, so maybe we have a sub soon.

XSChunkylover77

I'll sub for Wenz. My first act will be to give back the cities I took from England.

machowner

If you guys get desperate, I guess I could. I'm a noob, so keep that in mind. At any rate, if you guys don't get any interest and don't mind, let me know.

Thanks Machowner! Ashenhart volunteered as well so its great that we have a couple of subs available. Since Wenz is in Europe and allied with Grizzly, I'd like to give Grizz a day or two to find a sub first.

You are signing up for the upcoming BTS game right? I'm very excited with the prospect of getting more players from TG involved in it. Would also be very cool if we could max the game out at 18 players.

So Grizzly send me a message if I would like to sub... Sure I will but if there are others before me... I would gladly give it to them as well.


If you are starting a new BTS game soon, I wouldnt mind signing up for that one either

Regards

Your faithfull Mailman

machowner

I'll probably pick up BTS and sign up! I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on the game. I just have to figure how to keep the tech lead towards the end of the game.

I believe namliaM is all set to sub for Wenz. Unfortunately, I will need to turn the nation over to the AI for that to happen. I trust that no one will take advantage of that until namliaM logs in and takes it over.

The server will go back up tomorrow (Tuesday) at around 12:30 pm GMT (6:30 am MDT).
