Dear St. Jon of France and Tomas de Torquemada of Spain,
Surely, you would not deny a nation to defend it's borders? Yes, I have sent a Cavalry Brigade (3 units) into the region you mention, five tiles west-south-west of Chimbote. I assure you, this is my border patrol. These units have no intention of crossing into either Spanish or French territory.

Turn Rate
This has now now long passed the point of humour. Everyone of us in this Game are long experienced CtP PBEM Players, maybe not Quinns but he has been consistantly reliable anyway, so there are no excuses.
Simple courtesy to the rest of us would dictate that advice be given of any known period of absence and the Posting of 'Turn Sent' notes to the Thread is hardly arduous.
The principal problem, though not exclusive, seems to lie with Demos so we shall have an end to 'The Race' and Turns should henceforth be played upon receipt, regardless, unless prior notice is given. This shall apply to all whose persistant tardiness interupts the smooth flow of the Game.
In retrospect 24hrs was an over-generous allotment, given the geographic flow of the Game, but must be respected. Having said this, when there is little chance that it will be met Turns should either be immediately 'Nexted', bad grammar I know, or sent to a nominated Sub.
Should persistant resort be required to either method a permanent replacement will be sought so as not to jeopodise the long term chances of the affected Civ.
I intend to forward this to Keygen, as Sub for Demos, and other potential Replacement/Sub Players. As such I would appreciate your respective opinions on the future ettiquette acceptable within LC.
Jon, plain old CMN.

Well, I agree with Jon that we should play our turn within 24 hours of receiving it, if not quite a bit sooner! As he has previously pointed out, we all have busy lives, but a turn can be played, sent, and posted in a very short time if one puts their mind to it! 
I think there may have been a reluctance among us to next-turn a player right at the 24-hour mark, as there was a desire to give a little extra time as a grace period. But I think that 24 hours is generous enough to already have a grace period built in, so I think when 24-hours has elapsed, the turn should automatically be sent on to the next player right away.
I also agree that courtesy requires that notice be posted if a player expects to be gone when his turn comes, so that there is no need for the game to stall for 24 hours before anyone knows that the player is not around. Even if it is a case of one's computer not working, there are always alternate ways to at least send an email to someone in the game, so they can relate the problem to the rest.
I also think its important to post something to indicate that the turn was sent, so that we all know where it is, and can then estimate when it might get to each of us.
And I want to thank Jon for caring enough to take the effort to try and make things run more smoothly.
Sure, this is just a game, and we want it to be relaxing and fun, but these rules were established at the start of the game to keep the game going, and the fun coming! 
Rick

What a mess indeed. I said to next turn me if I missed the 24 hour limit. I got back at 17:00 Apolyton time on the 17-MAR-2001. Oh well, I guess it's just good to be back rolling again.
Welcome King Keygen!
