This weekend will be my last opportunity before my trip. Modo has my password if you want someone to stand in for me and/or permanently replace me.

This scenario is a great idea, I just wish the game could move a bit faster.

Just trying to reanimate here. I know only the basic facts.

I hope it is not. But it is with Beta, which can be misleading sometimes.

Plus, Shogun Gunner said he wanted to be replaced in this game.

Shogun is back from his holiday now and playing saves.

Have you emailed Beta?

This weekend is Chuseok in Korea. Koreans prepare a table of food to honour the dead and their ancestors. Shall I pour a cup of rice wine for this PBEM?

Eight players is very ambitious. We are on page 5 of the tracking thread and in July 1914 and things have already broken down.

I will stay on if we can get things moving in the right direction. I just don't want to invest time into a big PBEM game like this unless it has a possibility of reaching some level of success. Remember cIV's release is rapidly approaching. Are we going to experience additional slowdowns and player drop outs when that game arrives. I can guarantee it.

I would recommend polling the existing players on this PBEM to give people a chance to play or drop out. For those who select to stay, collectively reach an agreement to a requirement of either playing, or posting to when they will play, with an agreed upon timeframe.

Sorry for the tone, but its tough to get any kind of flow/tempo going in these big PBEM games (Randomizer, Cold War also come to mind). This is just my opinion and suggestion, it's up to Modo as this is his PBEM.

I can play and am interested in playing if others take regular turns.
Please do not say you're in if you can't make a commitment of a turn a day.

I will absolutely stay on if we were committing to a turn a day. I'm in about 10/11 PBEMs and I play saves within one day of receiving.

With eight people that would mean that your turn would be every second or third day at the fastest.

I think you were being nice, Shogun. Thanks for the help, I was getting tired of bumping things lately.

This is how it goes: Everyone should please confirm whether he can play each turn within 24 hours of receiving the save (except for announced absence only). And I mean no "I forgot"s nor other things like that -- this game is too big, and we really can not afford such delays if we are ever going to finish it.

I will send PMs to Jon, Beta, and Ljube, to notify them.

OK - I am still up for this and the hold up is due to me. I got a new computer after coming back from vacation, and after loading up all my civ stuff, I was unable to play the scenario. So, I need to try loading it again - but then work got busy, and now I have parental care duties to attend to for the next week.

I can get it back on the rails by Monday or Tuesday next week - if I can address the technical issues. If not - I will forward it on to someone else (along with the password) for them to play.

My apologies folks.

Can't blame you Grandpa, I have been on the fence about leaving also. This just isn't going to work -- so I'm out also.

again..too many humans in a game is a multiplier for slow turn rate

Maybe it would be better for Grandpa and Shogun to stay and me to leave considering my curent weekend only status.

This isnt about you Joncnunn, it is about the state of affairs of playing these games

I get busy too

But I dont want nor will I continue to take part in a game that has a turn per month

it doesnt bode well for me

things happen and it has certainly happened to me

but I want to play not try and figue out a month ago what I was intending to do

I am speaking for me only

I love to play and I am sure you and many others do as well

For me I need to stop breaking my rule and only play in game with a few people

I remain confidant in finding many such games

Well, looks like a(nother) restart to me, as retiring any civ would dramatically unbalance the game. Only this time, four players tops. The other nations would be AI, at Sid. I would still like to play Germany. Any takers?

I would like to stay in this game. But only if you staying with four.

If you already have four - I will bow out happily

my time is short enough this next 4 - 8 weeks.

Currently there are three, meaning me, Grandpa Troll, and Paddy.

And yes, I plan to stick with four, so the first one to post here gets to play.

Paddy, do you want to keep Spain, or would you like a different civ?
