Well done! You know, reading these accounts are sometimes the highlight of my day. Doesn't say much for my days, huh? Then again, maybe it speaks volumes about the scribes.

What a lovely history. Histories like that are the best, short and sweet yet funny and informative.

I am alarmed by the news there may be a town named Edward I. May I recommend a town named Kenneth I?

I don't know what happened. It seems like both v2.42 succession games have come to a grinding halt. From what I can tell, I passed the save to HsFB on 11/14. HsFB downloaded it on 11/17 and said that he'd pass it by the 20th. Today is 8 days since my pass.

I can tell you that I left HsFB with 2 cities and 3 troops to move for 10 turns.

I am not sure what happened. Who is keeping the history for this game? Johnmcd, is that you? Do we continue with Hueij? Do you need me to pass the game again? I'd like this succession to continue.

Sorry, i am involved in another succession game at another site, and had to play my turn the same time as this one.

The time periods coincede, and i got confused and played 15 instead of 10 turns. I'll mail it this night.

Can't we make some time-rule or something? Like, when you can't make it in let's say three days you have to pass it on to the next? It's over ten days now without anything happening...

I don't have a problem with that. This very issue came up during another succession game. People started passing the save on when they knew they couldn't play within a reasonable time period. I think the move to 10 moves from 20 moves was also an attempt to speed things up.

How would we enforce this? Maybe the person that starts the game and keeps it's history, monitors the thread and determines when a save must be passed to the next person.

The same thing has happened on the AKC succession. I don't want to be the hard ass, but I think 3 days is plenty of time.

Well, forget it. Another day gone by... Johnmcd, you can scratch my name from the list and send the save-file to the next one (if you ever get it). Maybe next time I can get in a game where people actually do what they promise...

Good luck with the game...

I know it's only been a day here, but another succession game (mge n-ics sg) is getting ready to declare Maud Dib missing in action. He has not posted there since the 23rd or here since the 10th.

Do I wait 2 more days or pass the game to Hueij today, who seems to regret quitting? Johnmcd, what do you say?

Ok. See, a little feed back helps me understand what is going on. Do you have a site that you could post the file to? Could you try a new, free email service? address.com, yahoo.com, altavista.com, etc. all have free email services.

There is always a work around.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude by ignoring you, I normally post at work but have been too busy of late. I am at home just now.

I say we scratch him, pass the save on to Hueij.

If you would like to send me a copy at johnmcdiarmid@newscientist.net I'd appreciate it, I haven't seen a save since my first turn.

No I'm sorry. I am just frustrated that this succession idea seems to be dying because we can't find a way to to take less than a week per round. It seems to be an issue on most of the succession threads. >

I'll send a copy to you and Hueij by tonight. Hopefully Hueij still wants to play. If not I guess we take it to the top of the list again.

I think we need an updated list of players. It looks like Muad Dib is MIA. Unless he claims otherwise. I'd pass the save onto Johnmcd when you are done.
