Got the file. I don't get online until 10 PM. Then with 5 turns to send, I just got to CFC now...

Does that mean Gnarf played and sent ?
Its worth remembering that Gnarf only seems able to play at a certain time of the day and if a turn arrives after that time then it has to wait until the next day ... this sometimes happens to me also if i'm busy with work.

That's all fine and well, but that still doesn't explain a 48 hour turn. It explains a "23" hour turn.
Listen, I've been involved in plenty of PBEM games. Let me tell you that a game is doomed if any player sits on a save for 2 days or more in a consistent pattern. In fact, a game is in extreme danger of never completing if:
A: More than 4 players (even if they are all dependable)
B: Play is not arranged by usual playing times around the globe so that a complete round happens every 2 days. We did not have that luxury this time because people chose their Civs and the order of play was set.
C: A game organizer who does not consistently keep track of the game and hound people once there is an obvious lack of cohesion. (Dazz has been doing a decent job, btw, no blame intended!)*
I'm just raising a red flag here.
*That's the reason I've not started any PBEMs of my own. I don't like playing the part of a hard-nosed, pain in the ass, "goader". --- which probably shows why I'm not good management material.

It was never sent I waited until 2:45 AM last night too.
I don't think this game will last with a 24-hour delay. Gnarf recieved the file at 0030 EST. He couldn't play until 22:00 EST. While that's within 24 hours, it's too long to occur every turn IMHO. I don't think he's a good fit time wise.
This in addition to the fact that, he got on at 10 PM and had ~5 hours to send me the file. That turn couldn't have taken more than 15 minutes. While he does PBEM a lot, I don't think he's commited to this one.

Ok ... fair enough.
I was giving Gnarf the benefit of the doubt as I thought (and hoped) that when he posted at 11 pm EST last night that he had actually played and sent at the same time.
I get home from work in a couple of hours ... I will play the China file RJ forwarded to me then.

As much as I think Gnarff should be allowed to be involved, he does have to play faster... A turn should cycle through all 7 of us in 2-3 days at the most... That means you get the save you download it, play it and sent it... You make time for what is important, and after college, civ is second on my list. Just a quick note...maybe some delay due to heavier school work this semester...

Then I guess I'll have to give up on this one. I share a phone line with a family business. Which means that I can only tie up the phone lines for a brief period each day. That means that I usually am stuck between 24 and 48 hours with the turn. This has never been a problem before. Usually the game is downloaded in the evening, play it the next day, then send it that night, which I did again.
Sorry it didn't work out Gnarfflinger I hope to see you around. By the time I got your save, I had already played the other.

Not much to report this turn.
China
Took Foochow; no losses.
Roads around Wuhan bombed.
Naval
US Submarine between Iwo Jima and Mariana attacked by a destroyer and a submarine. Destroyer lost.
North of the Marshell Islands, 4 US Destroyers killed by 5 attacking Japanese destroyers; one of mine was lost.
Moved a transport in to take Guam only to find my path blocked by 3 US destroyers. I was trying to show my brother this when I accidently told the transport to attack. 
One Japanese Infantry lost in this attack.
That's it. On to Britian

The Italians still hold Tripolis then? I wonder how much the reinforcements will help push back French and British Forces in N. Africa... I also wonder how much longer I will have a Meditteranean Fleet to ship reinforcements to N. Africa as it is currently a 4 week round trip voyage? Without a fleet it will possibly take an extra week or two...

I am well aware of the other huge fleet you had at El Alamein ... I strongly suspect the fleet you moved to Malta were sacrificial lambs to attract my attention away from the fleet with the reinforcements.
Either way, I'm just happy to sink some ships

Bad move on my part...I have a feeling that I will keep almost all my ships in harbor unless I feel the need to do something drastic...
