Maybe Shadowlord2 would be interested. I know several (if not all) of his games have stalled. Same with Darsnan.

Looks like they weren't quick enough off the mark if they wanted the games. I'll be taking over for Plan9 Mong.

Okay, now obviously this isn't right, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong. I just finally opened the save, and it's knowhow2's turn. I'm passing that onto Herc now.

Hmmm... sounds like I got mixed up somewhere about who was getting what turn. Mongoose emailed me and asked me to send Archaic the turn, and not having Plan9's turn, I thought he meant knowhow's turn (partly through not tinking things through, as well...).

Oh well, if there's a few replays needed on anybody's end, just play through them... it's just nice to see the turns moving again.

Thanks. Like I said in the Rec Commons, I've been without internet access for the past week or so, and so much stuff piled up that my account was full.
