I know you told me to ignore what you posted here Mel, but.....
I had the OCC game for about 36 hours. I apologise for that, and know that I should be moving my turns along a little faster, but internet connections are not so easily available in other countries. That is why I play by Email.
I recieved, played, and sent on that turn from a small town in the Punjab. I am now back in the UK, and still find it hard to believe that I even managed to get electricity, which required one of the local engineers to rig me up a transformer for my laptop.
I strongly object to the claim that I am 'crap' because I could not play my turn for a day and a half. I am sorry if my life does not revolve around playing Civ, I thought this was a game.
I am afraid that faced with the choice of helping a small community in a very poor country build a local railway to get their economy kick-started, and playing Civ3, the choice is not that hard to make.
If you want to leave Erik in, thats fine by me.

essexloony: for the future, it would be a smart idea to tell people BEFOREHAND when you go on 'civ-risky' trips. Then, we don't worry, we don't stay up late at night waiting for hte mail

essexloony2:
FWIW there are 4 full days between me sending it to you and you posting here, not 36 hours.
If 8 players took 4 days per move it would take over a month per turn. So, in a year we would take only 12 moves. 200 is more like the realistic minimum to play a game with 8 players.
I am not saying this to criticise you, but to point out the logistics of a game like this. If there will be an occasional absence then everyone will be fine with it, but with no prior notice it appeared as though you had decided not to play anymore.
I really want you to stay in the game, but it is important you know why people got frustrated, not just that they did get frustrated.
Lets play

I will not quit, but only because I am going to win.....;p
Also Anarres, I didnt play the turn at the same time as I posted. I had no internet access out there, only a phone line which allowed me to get Outlook to work.
I really should set up Internet on my laptop, but then who goes to a country as beautiful as India and wastes time browsing the internet...
For the record, I am in 3 games and intend to service them all far better in future. Sorry I held things up.

Thanks for your commitment Essex, 
I also appreciate the tone in which you are accepting this criticism, are you a manager at work?
I would like to say again to everyone again...
Could You Please Send An Email Now To At Least Me Preferably Everyone Saying That You Have Sent The Game On, And Who You Sent It Too...
Saves on thread space then

We have to send an email to everyone!?!? Thats a little inconvenient dontcha think? I send it to the person after me and thats all. If anyone else wants to know, i'll post here and tell you that I sent it. I dont need my Inbox full of "Sent game to so and so."

Yes send a mail to at least me is what I said....
Thought it was fairly clear...
I dont want people spam mailing me or getting annoyed cos they dont know where the game is...
If you dont like it then I suggest you send me your password now and retire from this game as it is obviously too much effort for you...
Nice to see people making the effort dont you think

I'm sorry but your logic is kinda well, stupid. I just email it to the person next in line, and hope that they dont take off for almost a week without telling anyone (sorry essex). Some people who do that, i can understand (Sage broke his leg) but now your just getting paranoid that its going to happen again.
Want to know what i do when i get a PBEM game?
1) Scan it
2) Download it
3) Play it
4) Send to next in line
5) Post in that thread if anything interesting has happened.
Right now, one of my PBEM games is going relatively quickly without anyone posting on this site for awhile.
