I'm leaving the game. It has become nothing more than a chore for me. At first, I tried to play because I felt it was my responsibility to see it out; yet I finally realized something, this is just a game! I have no responsibilities towards seeing this to the end if it provides me with no joy. The main thing I like to get out of slower games is world building. I never went into this PBEM expecting to get any fun out of gameplay itself because, no matter how often we send the turn, it would be impossible to build up momentum or a "one more turn" feeling due to our different time zones. As no one else seems interested in world building, I cannot say that I have anymore interest in continuing this charade when I already dread having to play.
