I appreciate the sentiment, but if I am to enforce the rules on others in the game, the same rules should stand for me. Otherwise, it's not fair to everyone else.
It IS my fault the game progressed slowly, and it IS my fault that I didn't inform people of my absense. Honestly, as I said in my PM to you, the game was the furthest thing from my mind, but there was nothing to prevent me from simply putting in a note while I was gone. I had access to do so.
So, per the rules of the game, I will be posting a notice for replacement, and remove myself. Again, apologies to the other players for my absense.
If you start up a new PTBS game, David, I'd be happy to join up, so I'm certainly still interested in the game, it's just that if standards are created, everyone is obligated to those standards.
Not to worry, I'll still be running things, so there won't be any delay in the game itself
