I don't think the game mechanics provide a way to declare war on your own civilization...

DeepO finished most of the turn before going to bed at about 5AM, so it should done today.

Yeah, we're just cleaning up right now. Sorry it took a while, but I really had a very busy period the past couple of days. You should receive the save tonight... it might take another couple of hours, though.

Normally, this should have been the last turn (for now) that we need more than 24h.

PM's are fine, and I read them when I get them, but typically (once I get back to work after new years) I'll see an email before a PM.

At least as far as GS is concened you could expect a turn. I hope I am not speaking out of turn as the battle report is not up, but Abilene is no more.

I've got a little announcement to make.

This was the last turn I acted as regular turnplayer for Gathering Storm (I will stay backup, so keep sending me the saves, please). I've enjoyed it very much, but after about a year, it's time to move on to other free-timespenders. It's more or less a coincidence that me leaving falls in the exact turn we take the last Lego city, as everybody knows that the past year was mostly characterized by the buildup to take on Lego. I'm sorry Lego, but I couldn't have wished for a better closure, or 'reward' for the effort.

I'm very grateful for the experience, so my thanks goes out to all PTWDG teams for making it so enjoyable. But most of all, my thanks goes to my team. Gathering Storm is a very active team, where lots of members spend hours debating aspects of this game we all love, and if it wasn't for this pleasant atmosphere, I would never have lasted a year as player.

I think everyone will understand why I'm thrilled that Aeson agreed to take over as turnplayer. He needs no introduction... his comments in our forum the past few months have always been to the point, bringing new ideas to the debate, keeping us on the edge. This game is not the SVC (yet ), but I hope our underdog position creates enough challenge for you, Aeson. Thank you again for agreeing to take over.

What does this change to the rest of the teams? Well... not much. I'm sure Aeson will contact Zargon with his e-mail address to forward the save to. For the moment I will keep on doing the battle reports and so on (although I hope these will end very soon). Our ambassadors will stay our ambassadors, and this might even be more pronounced as we would like to split the efforts more over our members, to avoid player burnout.

So, all that is left to say is: give them hell, Aeson!

Nah... it was more meant as a general purpose yell, not a war yell. 1 war each year should be the maximum allowed in a demo game

My email address is at yahoo.com with the alias of aeson. (I get so much spam there already I don't know that it would matter if I just typed it out... It's already on every possible email list no doubt... )

This turn player gig might work out ok after all. Who else has bribes for who GS should/shouldn't attack?

My brother has been trying to give me a gmail invite for a while now. Yahoo doesn't like them and so they never get through... I like Yahoo's service, but it does turn me off that they're doing that.

snif snif... I played for a year, and haven't received any bribes. Here comes Aeson, and before he plays his first turn, he receives offers?

Zeri, I hope that our war did not make you lose your team. With only a few turns being played over a whole month, I can imagine the NDers lose interest. For us the opposite happens of course.

Let's hope things can cool down a little now, and get back to normal.

okay, thanks to T, here's my new addy in case someone is interested:
myusername dot myusername at gmail dot com
(I couldn't just use DeepO, it was too short)

Zargon, could you perhaps use this one for the saves from now on? My other one will be more frequently read, but only when I'm home. gmail creates excellent backup for these saves...
