if anyone will post a thread about him delaying the game

The question should be "Who won't post about the delay?"

 

[Tubby Rower]

Oh I a bit of good news ..... I managed to secure a company computer to take to 3-mil island when I go at the end of Oct. I've installed , CA2, mapstat, & Paint Shop Pro. I also have MSN messenger and my internet software on it. So I think that I am completely set up to "work" .

I'll be working night shift 7PM-7AM, so it'll be a little rough to be on as much as I am now. Also I won't be able to be online while at work down there (customer perception that I'm slacking off...however true it might be). So at most I'll be online 6 hours or so. I might check everything before going to be in the morning and then check things again after I get up.

 

[Daghdha]

Great news Tubs. We'll be awake @ same hours

 

[Whomp]

Good news Tubs.

When is the admirality establishing a thread about our mighty navy? I have a feeling our navy will become really, really important if we don't cut a deal with MIA.

When is the admirality establishing a thread about our mighty navy?

as soon as the first boat is in the water

What a hardship tour this will be

 

[gmaharriet]

Tubs, I'm glad to hear you'll continue to give us the pleasure of your company and the benefit of your geeksomeness.

 

[soul_warrior]

Team MIA would like to humbly request a time extension.

We apologize for the delay, and hope to have the turn completed very soon.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

so i guess they are voting on thier final answer right now.

 

[gmaharriet]

I find it interesting that they didn't have a plan in place for this in advance.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Maybe they wanted to see the save before voting...why? I don't know.

 

[gmaharriet]

Unless my computer clock is off, it looks like TNT is about 1 1/2 hours late in sending their save.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I just realized that I talk too much..... See pic below for proof (as if you didn't need it already )

 

[gmaharriet]

I just realized that I talk too much.....

I chuckled at the pic, but you DO have knowledgable comments to make. Please keep it up.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

hey Tubby, the only reason you had the top spots is because I was tied up with GR7. Pretty soon this blabber mouth will have all the spots back.... like now

 

[Whomp]

I moved this out of diplo thread and threw it here.

So is this like an unwritten spirit of the game in PBEMs? I can't find it written anywhere in the rules. They just talk about trading contact information and maps and out of game espionage.

That would be considered out of game espionage. Which brings up the question. Should players who have not posted in each team's forum be required to reapply for team membership?
1. It gives each team a true headcount.
2. The people posting have a vested interest in the outcome vs those who have not.

If the want to rejoin, fine or am I just being paranoid?

 

[Pentium]

I think you're just paranoid

Maybe just start a thread in our private forums where every member would check in.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I thought you had to apply to become a member of these threads and this team.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

True, but it seems like only about half the people who have signed up for the team have actually posted anything.

 

[soul_warrior]

well, maybe they are all in awe of our brilliant chaos.
so in awe they are kept speechless by our wisdom of the ages?
or just plain in shock of how a nation is run by Idiots, and its ramifications in real life?
i just love this...

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

I haven't had a chance to use that new smilie yet...

Hmm...new episode of the Simpsons tomorrow! There, that works.
