Turn 244 to Council.

Council apologizes for the delay and will play the turn in the morning, EST. Sorry for the delay, but it's Christmas ;)

Turn 244 to FREE.

Team Free needs an extension. This is my fault.

I am leaving for my son's Saturday wedding in Florida in just a few hours. I thought I would have time to play before we left, but that did not happen.

I won't be back until Monday.

EDIT: This extension is so that Team Free can find a turn player.

Any chance that team FREE can go on these days? :confused:

They probably launched and forgot to tell us....

Sorry, we've had a shortage of Turn Players in the past week :(

They probably launched and forgot to tell us....
Did you fail to disconnect their rubber? :gripe:

Silly boy. You know you're the only one we make use a rubber. :rotfl:

See what happens when we don't get a turn for a whole week?:splat:

I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but....

Saber will almost certainly be late again. We will try to keep the tardiness to a minimum, but it could be up to about 24 hours late.

Team Free will need an extenison.

Should have the turned played by this time tomorrow.

Turn 255 to Council.

The Council requires an extension. Thank you so very much.

Meanwhile Whomp is thinking "Geez! What is it with these guys, can't they get this done in a timely manner?" (Everyone's asking for an extension)
:rotfl:

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with actually having something to do...

Thanks once more for your patience and understanding during these difficult days.

:lol: Apparently...

I just wish there were a way to play these turns some other way instead of All or Nothing. That's the killer, trying to find a 2 to 3 hour block of time to play the turn.

Anyway.....


Turn 256 to Babe.

Sorry for the delay. Lots of RL diplo, peace treaties, war, macromanaging and such.

My Print Screen button has died (I think) from overuse. I can't get any screenshots. And I normally take over 20+ during a turn. Shutting down and then reopening Paint doesn't solve the problem, which it did at one time.

I looked at remapping the keyboard (Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator) but that tool doesn't include any Function or special keys; just the main typing section of the keyboard. I don't have a Function Lock key (which would turn off Print-Screen) and I don't recall hitting any strange keyboard combinations earlier.

I may have to get a new keyboard.

Screenshots or not, I do plan to play the turn tomorrow. I've just spent too much time this evening Googling the web trying to solve this issue.

Sorry.

You could always just post the same screenshots from the previous turn - my teammates have never noticed.

Ooooh, (deepbreath), I've been tempted to do just that.

But someone would eventually notice we're in the 1300s, not the 1100s, and complain about it and declare that they could do a better job than ol' thick-headed CommandoBob and offer to be the next Turnplayer and...frack, I HAVE been stupid! :eek:

Turn 261 to Babe.

Turn 262 to Council.

The Council would like to request an extension.

I'll be out of town Thursday till Sunday however I think we have a new team member so I'll ask him to play the save.

The Council needs a bit of an extension. I'm writing a paper for school. Alas, this must take precedence over governing the lands of the Council. :(

I will be out of town till Sunday. The only person who responded to my post in our forum was Krill and he doesn't have C3C.

The Council apologizes for the delay, our First Chairman apparently got lost in action. :run: :sad:

An emergency government will take over in five hours from now and (try to) solve the most pressing problems within one hour of work... :smoke:

The Council played and sent 266 to SABER.

Apologies for delay, once again. :please:

Turn 266 to FREE.

I will be out of town from today (May 5, 2009) to next Monday (May 11, 2009). I do not know if anyone will be available to play the turn. Several have indicated that they could not.

I did download the save last night, dreaming that I might find time to get it played and passed on AND still do all the night-before prepartions for a trip.

:shake:

I should have known better.

I can play the FREE save tomorrow night (31 hours from now), but first I'll have to reinstall C3C.

Wish me luck ;)

All the best, Elephantium. Godspeed.

Sorry about the delay. I got distracted by a jar of peanuts :P

Turn 275 to Council.

The Council will need a short extension. I will play the turn during the afternoon tomorrow (CEST).

The Council has experienced some unexpected events (ingame actually) and will need some more time to resolve these. I still hope to manage during the evening, but that's assuming others come around and chime in on a Sunday night. Sorry for the delay.

Turn 275 belatedly to SABER. This was one intense turn!

Team Saber will need extra time. Estimated play time is 36-48 hours from this post.

Oops!

Sorry for the delay. I thought Whomp's post was just the normal Turn xxx to The Council.

Turn 276 just re-sent, with the right attachment.

OK turn 277 sent to Council.

Sorry for the delay. We should have our turn played sometime tomorrow.

My apologies again. We need a couple more days.

Thanks for waiting so patiently. Turn 277 to SABER.

The turn will be played in about 10-12 hours.

... or a little earlier. Turn 277 to FREE.

Been busy with RL and estate sale prep. Just now downloaded the save. We will need an extension, sorry.

Team FREE requests a 24 hour extension. We have an ingame situation to discuss.

Team FREE regrets to announce a technical difficulty: we lost power to the PC at the end of the turn. It is 1:30 am local time and I thought I was done. Blast! We'll try this again tomorrow evening.

Turn 277 to BABE (finally!)

Turn 278 to Council.

Would you please resend? (I don't see an attachment with the message you sent already.) Thanks.

:bump: Whomp was around in the forum. Just this morning. Maybe he didn't recognize this here!?

I'll send him a PM

Whomp has already resent the save and we've been working on it. Didn't say anything here because we weren't sure when the turn would be played. It now looks as though we will be able to play the save in about a day and a half from now. As always, thanks for your patience.

I had to unexpectedly work today and then more than half way through the turn I inadvertently pressed escape and had to start over. :( Commando Bob was right not to try to play these turns when tired.

But, finally, turn 278 to SABER.

Team Saber is thinking. Since this is a new approach for us, we're not sure exactly how long it will take this "brain" thing to warm up, but we will make every effort to minimize the delay.

Turn 278 to FREE.

We should have this played sometime on the 19th.

Turn 278 is played; got a very late start on it (11:30 pm) and just finished. I cannot do anymore tonight; I'll send the turn after work tomorrow.

Sorry for this extra delay. I thought I could just open the game, do a few things and then be done (and be in bed looong before now) but somehow that did not happen.
