[BTS] Absence thread

classical_hero · Mar 22, 2010, 05:24 AM

Post any time you are going to be absent from the game.

remake20 · Mar 22, 2010, 08:39 AM

Don't you think this should be in the private forums? I would think you need to tell you're team that you are away, not everybody, plus the team is much more likely to see it's thread than this one I would think.

BCLG100 · Mar 22, 2010, 04:14 PM

It's really for people who are important in the wider multi world.

I.e. diplomats or chief turn players, mainly so people don't spam messages to them expecting a reply. Also serves as a useful place for CH/Dave to post about their absences should a problem arise.

Indiansmoke · Mar 29, 2010, 03:32 AM

Easter is this weekend, we are not planning to start the game before or during Easter are we?

classical_hero · Mar 29, 2010, 07:20 AM

I would be surprised if we have all the civ and leader choices by then.

As a heads up, from the 3rd of May to the 17th of May, I will be away on a holiday.

Lord Parkin · Mar 29, 2010, 04:17 PM

Didn't Dave set the deadline as the 1st of April? (By the way, I'm not sure which timezone's 1st of April that is... I'm guessing America's.

)

classical_hero · Mar 30, 2010, 01:17 AM

Well that was to know the civs and leaders. I am sure it will take him some time after that to get the map ready.

classical_hero · May 17, 2010, 12:58 AM

I am back from my vacation, well I was back yesterday, but I had other things to get up to speed on.

DaveShack · May 27, 2010, 08:57 PM

I will be out of town starting Saturday morning May 29th, returning Monday afternoon June 7th.

Reminder, if the game disconnects there won't be any way to correct it till I return.

cav scout · Jul 11, 2011, 12:49 PM

I will not be able to play the turn for Quatronia for 3 weeks starting July 15th.

This is a pretty big deal since i'm the last remaining person on Quatronia who is willing/able to serve as turn player.

Does anyone know of someone who would like to play the turns for Team Q for a while? I can't think of too many other solutions short of pausing the game for three weeks...

I would hate for this to ruin the MTDG while there is still life left in the game.

AlphaShard · Jul 11, 2011, 02:32 PM

Pausing for 3 weeks would kill the game I think. Do you want to ask a member from another to team to Play? Even AI is better then pausing for 3 weeks.

Sommerswerd · Jul 11, 2011, 04:48 PM

As Q and AMAZON are currently allied and fighting Sirius, the best solution might be to lengthen the turns and let AMAZON play for Q until cavscout comes back in 3 weeks. Making the turns longer will stretch the turns out so not as much happens while cavscout is gone.

It's not optimal, but probably best captures what would be happening if cavscout stayed. Switching Q to AI is just not going to work. Q is at War, Monarch AI is not up to that task, nor will AI respect treaties.

If Sirius can accept this then I will ask our turnplayer if he can handle this.

AlphaShard · Jul 11, 2011, 04:58 PM

I am fine with that. Figured it would be best for an Amazon player to take over.

cav scout · Jul 11, 2011, 08:37 PM

I would be fine with a turn player from the Amazons filling in for me. I expect the war will still be going when I get back so things are pretty straight forward right now as far as playing the turns.

Any objections?

DaveShack · Jul 12, 2011, 09:31 AM

Any non-aligned players out there? How would a hypothetical fill-in player get instructions from the rest of the Continuum without having forum access? If there are instructions to give. Not really a disagreement with the idea, just thinking of it more broadly.

If Amazon have another turnplayer, it might be a little better to have two different people play the two teams. While information can be passed back and forth even normally, it's a little different if one individual plays both. Again not necessarily a disagreement.

cav scout · Jul 12, 2011, 12:50 PM

There isn't any team forum activity so that wouldn't be an issue. I would just give general instructions and guidelines before I left (basically common sense stuff about builds, drafting, whipping etc.).

DaveMcW · Jul 15, 2011, 12:24 AM

Caledorn (from AMAZON) has volunteered to sub for Quatronia. Please forward him the required info.
