I wasn't going to say anything more on this subject, as what I primarily goal was reached. But I may have to say something about this new mattter:
4) Demand respect! I consider it to be disrespectful when some one sign to do something together with other people and then not follow rules or bend them to justify his problems. I would not dictate to others my schedule.

If by the last point you say that I am "disrespectful" to you for not posting my save until Saturday, Central European Time, I believe you are wrong. I believe that was perfectly legit. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.
If I understood correctly "games to be posted at latest by early Saturday morning 'American time'." So unfortunately it was late. But you did say it was on its way the day before.
You guys are being a little too harsh on this schedule. "Early Saturday morning 'American time'" can be Pacific time, which I think is GMT - 7. Assuming early morning as 9 a.m., in central Europe it should be 16:00 (as it's GMT). I don't know and it doesn't matter when exactly Ojevind posted his save, but it
should be ok to delay the deadline by some hours because he warned the day before.
Mutineer takes this game very seriously...
The two highlighted words can't be on the same sentence. This is a
game, for God's sake. It should provide
fun! There is a sports commentator in Brazil that states:

Soccer is the most important thing among the least important ones.
This quote may be someone else's but it works here. I assume all of us here have other things to do. The
respect we maintain for each other makes us post here about any changes to the expected schedule.
From the time this
game starts to be an obligation on, the fun goes away.
...and makes comments which may offend some people, but I believe a lot of the time what he says is correct. His war skills are better then his diplomatic ones as was shown in his deity mutilthreaded game.
The last thing I'm gonna say about it. Saying out loud what I was thinking was good for me. When I think I
might offend someone, I usually read the sentence again and try to soft it. Even with emoticons. I know it's not common sense to do that, but it works for me.
His war skills are surely far better than his diplomatic ones. And I honestly think it's true in real life too. We are all trying to learn something from this thread. Maybe we can learn something that applies to real life too.
Do you remember South Park? In the end of the episode, Stan says:

@Multineer: Want to sign a 10-turn peace treaty? I offer you the secrets of Sao Paulo's Subway and Sao Paulo's traffic! Don't know what you're gonna do with them, but it's an offer!
