	Absence Got spare money?

I'm sorry for leaving, just going through a really tough time right now.

My trips been cancelled, so I have a million things to straighten out.

If someone wants to take over I encourage them to do so.

	Increase Your PM Length

Haven't had much desire to post other than on a few religious topics, for the last while since I came back from Thanksgivings.

Seems to be the only bit of pleasure that I get right now.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

So please, accept my apologies. I didn't anticipate any of this. I hoped to be going to the Philippines in a week but now I'm not.

Sounds like you are going thru a rough patch, Ben. This too shall pass. Hang loose and we'll see you after the dust settles. Good luck....

It's hard when plans fall apart. Best wishes, Ben Kenobi! And a salute to your efforts at getting the game going again...

	Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Like Ben, I have been out-the-loop for some time, but I have been thinking about how to finish this beast. I think the only chance is to get help from the Zulu, either for them to go to war with the Kelts or they "give" us Fission. Not much chance of success, even if....

It is okay to fail, though; especially with these handicaps. I'd suggest cavebear, or anyone else with the energy, just play to the end and post the final "deathspiral" save. Closure is a good thing.

Then a new, less restrictive, game could be started.
