	For those in Games with Demosthenes Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Unfortunately I'm afraid that I am going to have to withdraw from a number of PBEM games, specifically those with the 24 hr ruling.

I can no longer guarantee that I will be able to play my turn with 24hrs of it being sent to me, due to the irregular and unsociable hours that I work, and many other important issues going on in my life, not least of which is the arrangement of my marriage.

Those of you who already participate in games with me that enforce the 24 hr rule cannot have noticed that I have struggled to play a single turn in the last two weeks, and I feel that the situation must be resolved as it is no longer fair to those who are still able to play at this particular pace.

Therefore, Swissy 2, Swissy 3, Lungmatch 3.2 and Demos are pretty much the only games that I will be able to continue, (as long as those participating in those games are willing to keep me on) and so I ask that permanent replacements be found for all other games that I participate in.

I apologise for any inconvience that I may have caused over the past two weeks, but I'm sure finding replacements will not be too difficult a task. Do not worry, I will not be withdrawing from CTP PBEM completely, (you haven't seen the last of me yet!) but I'm afraid that I cannot keep up the intensity that some games require.

Cariad,
Demosthenes.

I'm well aware of the problems that I've caused in LC, and it's not fair on you guys. It has been so frustrating, becuase every time I am able to log on and recieve turns, I've no turns to play because I've been nexted, but when the turn is sent I'm unavailable.

Perhaps if my cycle were to coincide I could have lasted longer, but alas I do not see that happening. I'm sure that Keygen will be more than competent with the Welsh.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I'm still alive and kicking, and I'm having a right battle royal in Swissy 2, perhaps at some point I'll be able to take on another challenge or two, we'll see
