No, I don't have a list. I have relied on the PM system to stay in touch.

So... any news from the front?

Indeed it is, I have let this part of my life really fall apart the last couple of weeks. I'm having to rearrange my life due to my new job. I have decided to narrow down the number of PBEM games I'm currently playing to make my turns faster. Then I just need to work on remembering to actually play.

I've been through that when my kid was still in his first months. I was also relying on the forum messages/posts to get a feel if my delays were becoming a nuisance. Unluckly, forum wasn't sending any updates at all to my email at the time, which made things worse, and it made people upset
Since them I try to check the tracker at the same specific hour every day and usually ignore it for the next 24 hours. When things in my life get more tiresome, I skip reading the forum and go straight to the tracker site. That helped a lot in finding the right time (improvements in internet provider server also made a big help on my poor connection). Things can still go wrong from time to time, but usually I won't let a turn unnoticed for more than 2 days (and that when I haven't got the proper time).
Also I'm really afraid to anger Tigranes with unjustifiable delays. He was the first one to welcome me to the forum and pbem games and I'm secretly hoping for his approval. So that, as a final reason, keeps me on track. (just kidding, man
)

If you knew how much I think Brazil is cool you would not worry about anything related to me!

Thanks for the advice guys, often I do skip the forum, and go straight to the tracker, but in this instance I didn't check either.

Time since last upload: 125:01:56
tracker shows game is with ruff_hi. But knowing him it is safe to assume that he has played his turn and used his own PBEM email tool to email the game to Michkov. Who is probably checking tracker and thinking the turn is still with ruff_hi.

It seems to have worked like a charm, since I've already played it...
I think I failed to upload the save, sorry everyone. I tend to go by the yellow indicators so when I get the save from some other place than the tracker it happens that I miss the upload.

I have a couple of crazy weeks ahead of me right now, but then it looks like things will settle down a bit. Right now I am working full time at a new job (It will be part-time after I finish training), and also preparing for a week long trip, while taking a couple of college classes, whew! Sorry about my busyness!

No posts for quite a few days. That's a shame because I thought Patriot was a welcome new player and good player to Multiplayer Civ4. I hope he will come back.
