And what can I say. Maybe that I'm surprised a leader of your caliber would let such a crises befall on you. This is a major catastrophe and if there is anything the Canadian people can do, please let us know.
We too are alarmed that French vessels are reported off the Irish coast, we hope they are passing by and thats all.

We appreciate the concern of other nations, but we will quickly regain possession of the erroring cities, who followed the Barbarous leadership, of an immoral English General. Most of the cities have returned to the proper leadership, and if we need assistance, we will request it.
Our efforts to regain control of York, Birmingham, Hastings, Liverpool have been delayed slightly by opposing forces sent out by the Barbarians, it is of note that the Barbarian general has lost most of his troops, So that other nations need not fear. Birmingham and York are guaranteed to fall next turn, Hastings will probably fall as well. Leaving only Liverpool which will be surrounded at the end of next turn.
The initial problems were caused by a temporary cash crunch which was exasperated by a series of Rush buys.

The Civil War is over in England.
-------------------------------
The general of the rebellion was captured in Liverpool, although popular with the more violent of the English Army, he proved himself anything but a strategist. As the leader of the violent insurrection he was sent to Cantebury to await sentencing, several other leaders of the rebellion have also been captured. It is of note that while the rebellion took heavy losses the official English army is barely weakened by the excursion.
Messr. Sophanthro extended his thanks to the valiant and honorable navy of Ireland for their efforts in securing the recapture of Liverpool. He also expressed thanks for the concern from other leaders of the world, most notably the wise leaders of France, Canada, and Maya.
Communist government disbanded
------------------------------
The Duma of England has been disbanded, for thier poor management of cash flows, Messr. Sophanthro stated that an emergency government has been enacted and although it bears resemblence to the old system. It will serve only as a temporary stopgap until England can rebuild the neccessary buildings that she lost in the rebellion.
Messr. Sophanthro reiterated the fact that although city deteriation was not a severe as originally expected England's cities especially her larger ones would have to undergo a period of reconstruction, until they could bring the control back to the people, for now a strong able government is what is needed and that is exactly what we have.

I agree with Jon and Slamp and think that 12 hr rule would be beneficial; and also that we should send an email to ctpdc@egroups.com when ever we play, I don't know why Luk doesn't.
The most important thing however is that we enforce the time limit rule, and perform an end turn if the player fails to play thier turn it really isn't that big a deal if you lose a turn.

i also support 12 hour rule. Once before I tried to blame Luk for slowing the game, he snapped back at me, so this time i will say nothing.
But i'm curious. Has Klair been taking Luk's turns or has he taken them himself?
Ed
please send e-mails with turns also, so we can all see how fast the turns are moving without logging onto board.

I hate the 12 hour rule as it will apply to me more than anyone in this game. The main slow spot in this game is between Slamp and I. I like the way I was doing it, sending the game to Klair. She plays it and sends it to Slamp, he can sit on it and if he doesn't get a turn from Luk within reason then he passes it to Jon. Now if Slamp and Klair don't mind this than that's the way I would like to continue to do it.
It seemed to be working. Now if you want to do the 12 hour thing than fine with me, I think you can start now with Frazer as his time is up.

I am in the same position as you Frazer but I think you are missing the point I was trying to make.
24hrs is the normal time rule in PBEM, when any rule is in place, but it is really only ever a 'Maximum' Time not an accepted 'Normal' Time. I get my Turn from Slamp and pass to you, we all live in Europe and, I think, all have jobs and lives outside of computer games but it is very unusual that I won't log on at least once in the evening just to check my email. It takes about 2-3 minutes, in peace time, to play a single Turn and anyone who is unprepared to put that little amount of effort into a Game is obviously not very interested in it. Using the 24hr Rule to effectively 'punish' someone out of a Game is totally outside it's spirit.
It is much more difficult for Don,Ed and Sophix because of the different timezones but I do not recall any complaints being made about their speed of play! It is really only a matter of courtesy to the other Players that you should play your Turn, and post notification, as quickly as possible and let everyone else know if you are going to be delayed.
It is a vicious circle for the slower the Game gets the less interested you get so the slower you play your Turn so the slower the Game gets!

I agreed to the 12 hr because being that Im a college student I usually have a break in the afternoon between classes and work, and I check my mail in the morning because my classes don't start until 11. But I can see that some people don't have this luxury.
So what I propose is that we keep it at a 24 hr rule but if some players are consistantly lagging in play then they will be set them on a probationary 12 hr limit. Also if a player is skipped twice (once?) in a row, their turn will be immediately ended (or sent to the Sub they have lined up), until they say that they are back (by sending a email to ctpdc@egroups.com).
Is all of that to complex?
No offense but I think Luk should be put on the probationary 12 hr limit. In Frazer's case I don't think the 12 hr limit should be applied because he tend to play consistantly, it's just that he tends to get the turn late at night (BST), and is unable to play his turn until the next day in the early evening(BST); and I don't expect ppl to schedule around a game.
