@ All - Update

I've heard from Xma, and he'd rather sub out now than play any more turns (so I've added another 24 hours as a result of that).

I've posted the sub threads, so if someone comes forward for Caelum then we are good to go forward, with Gordon returning to Man this turn or next (doesn't really matter much as I've already sent the Man turn). If no sub comes forward then we have a few problems regarding how we proceed with the current turn. But I'll give it another half day for a sub to turn up before looking at other options.

@ All - Further Update

Well it's just about 24 hours since I put the sub requests up, and no volunteers yet. If I get time later today then I'll try actively looking for a sub, but otherwise this game will either need to be delayed again (although that looks unavoidable right now, as a delay will almost certainly be needed with any course of action), or one of the other options explored.

I'm going to be adding 24 hours to the clock, as a combination of no Caelum sub + no time today to look for one, means delaying is the only option to prevent Caelum staling.

I'll try to start actively searching for a sub the first chance I get.

A sudden change in my plans yesterday unfortunately seen me miss delaying the hosting as I intended, with the obvious consequence that Caelum staled :( (but fortunately is was only Caelum that staled). I haven't checked the turn out yet, but unless some seriously drastic battles happened to Caelum due to the stale, then I certainly won't be rolling back to prevent it.


I'll go and bump both sub threads shortly, and try to find time to contact one or two players who I think might be willing to take over (including jimbo).

@ All

A sub has thankfully been found for Caelum. As such I'd like to now express my most gracious thanks to Koral for agreeing to take Caelum on, and thereby saving this game from a potentially very sad future. And this was without requiring any arm-twisting either :o


So please can you all welcome Koral to the game, and re-direct any Caelum messengers in his direction as necessary.

------------
Also, Gordon has now resumed control of Man/Chelms starting this turn as well. So as far as I know, this game should be good to continue problem free :) (for a while at least).

The player-nation list in the OP is also correct AFAIK. (just in case anyone's been confused with all the recent subs)

Thanks Calahan and welcome Koral!

As the game is increasing in complexity, I think I will need +24h, not only for this turn, but all turns from now on. What do others think about extending delays to +24h?

Koral has subbed in a couple of games at crucial points now.

I think he deserves a round of applause and,.. hell why not,.. a special title on this forum.

I wouldn't mind adding +24h to the timer for Numarh. His nation is getting pretty massive.

As a side note, congratulations on defeating Utgard. You only need 2 more capitals, correct?

@ All

I don't see any objections to increasing the schedule to 72 hours as requested by numahr. So as of this turn, the game will be on 72 hour turns. (the current turn should get delayed by 24 hours automatically when I increase the hosting schedule)

It seems that both Jimbojones and Koral are interested by Caelum... Who is in charge actually?

Yes, Koral is now in charge of Caelum as BlanketThief says (OP was updated as well). Here's my post from a few posts back.

@ All

Around 30 minutes to go until hosting, and still two turns missing, so I'm likely going to delay.


@ Gordon

What's going on? As this is your first turn back that you've had to play for yourself, and it looks like you are going to stale unless I delay. I must say that I hope you are going to be more on the ball than this for the remaining turns, as I really would like to see this game get through half a dozen turns or so without having any stales. As that is something that hasn't been managed for 20+ turns now.
