Modern Times: a new GMR game?

[Onan]

also our game has been stuck for 4 days now any way we could ad a timer?

Timer added - 23 hours. Didn't think anyone would argue with that. I've found 14 hours to be adequate, but I won't reduce it anymore except by popular demand.

Let's just hope Sorc leaving us hanging is a Temporary thing.

 

[Onan]

Sorry to hear about your position, Is. I had no idea, but it sounds pretty bad.

Anyone know if Sorc played his turn, or was it the timer?

Edit, I guess he must've played it, based on the previous post time.

Um, welcome back, Sorc?

 

[Onan]

Is, sounds like you're going to be North Korea again...or maybe Pakistan this time. I'll try to send you the URL for this thread, in case you haven't found it yet. I don't really like using the GMR comments, too many steps to login.

It's still the timer

 

[Onan]

It's still the timer

Really, you think slyvnn/sorc is not back with us? Any sign he's dropped all his other games? I'm not sure if I have him in any others.

 

[EEE_BOY]

Hi Onan, could you please do us a favor and sub my 'peaceful' game? It's 1 turn every two days, so not pressing. Besides 'Speed' may soon end so it will free up a slot for us. Thanks all the same if you say no.

It's been at least a week since he did not take a turn, and he was online all the time, so......

 

[Onan]

Hey, if you're having trouble finding a sub, then sure, send me an invite, and I can do it. But I'd rather you posted for a sub first, and waited a few days for responses before I take it on. Is this Sorc's spot?

 

[EEE_BOY]

Yes, I turned off the turn timer 3 days ago. I don't think the advertisement will work any time soon and I want to resume that game as soon as possible. Thanks for sub. Will try the new GMR functionality soon.

 

[Onan]

Hey E, it doesn't work when the player is still in the game. Says it's full.

Why don't you ask Heinage to sub? Sounds like he's keen to do so.

 

[Onan]

I don't think the advertisement will work any time soon.

this is what is called a self-limiting belief, which leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Last time I asked, He is only interested in Russia I guess. I will ask admin to do it manually then.

 

[EEE_BOY]

And another reason is...... how can a game have fun without Onan in it?

 

[Onan]

Haha.

Last time I asked, He is only interested in Russia I guess. I will ask admin to do it manually then.

he volunteered for Ethiopia in the important messages thread.

Hosts can't boot players? Here's an idea: set the timer when it's on his turn. Set it to a single skip. Voila, he should be auto kicked when the timer runs out (so make it short, but remember to do it while you're around to stop it after that, otherwise you might come back to an empty game).

 

[EEE_BOY]

Edit: done! It's a little risky though if the next player has skipped 1 turn. But it turns out to be fine. Onan could you please check the invitation link again? Cheers

 

[Onan]

Will do. I've had the flu, too.

 

[EEE_BOY]

Will do. I've had the flu, too.

Take care. Hope you get better soon. Turn timer disabled in that game til you join, so no hurry

 

[EEE_BOY]

Edit: never mind.
