This is the one game that can continue with koshling on vacation. <shrug> Guess it just gets too hard sometimes.

This is why I just cannot trust him. He keeps making promises that he won't cause delays, then this happens. Come on @Spirictum take your turn already. Or @Snowfall take the turns for him. This is why we have teams.

He may not realize Koshling's turns are arranged to be taken. When you asked, we did not see an answer.
TBrd is right, I really didn't realize this game would continue, sorry for that. I'll do the turns now. I was also busy with vacation preparations, so I didn't come to the forums as I wanted to.
Also, I'm going to leave with Snowfall on friday and I'll only be back on the other friday. I'm still considering if I'll take my notebook, but I probably won't, and Snowfall already said that she won't, so maybe I'll have to do as Koshling.
And Magnus, save me your rant. If people can't make mistakes around you, then you must be a terrible person to deal with. I hope you change your behavior, for the sake of yourself. For me, I'll keep trying to minimize my mistakes, as my intentions are in sync with the developing of all these MPs we've been playing around here. I'm not perfect, and nobody is, but I oftenly try to improve myself. Just remember how often I've been 'disappearing' through the entire time we've been playing these games, and you'll see that it has been decreasing more and more.

I don't see how you could have not known. Koshling said it himself at least twice (once when he first mentioned his vacation, then again immediately before he left).
Mistakes I can tolerate and forgive. No, what you have been doing is lying. Lying I cannot tolerate. You keep promising that there will not be anymore delays from you, but you keep causing multi-day delays with no warning. That is lying.
Disappearing for 5 days is not a "mistake". It is a choice. You chose to not check the forum for all of those days. Though you did check the forum two days ago apparently - why did you not take your turns then? Another choice.
I am not asking you to be perfect, please stop trying to deflect the issue. I am just asking you to hold to your word, check the forum every day, and take your turn as quickly as possible (but within 24 hours - as we all promised to do) when it is up.

The reason for becoming away for 5 days was a mistake, that anyone here could understand, people even suggested the idea, and they were right. Only a person with a strict PoV like you can't see it. A reason for something can be a mistake, even the reason for a choice. If you can't understand that, well then I'll stop losing my time trying to show the obvious to your narrow mind.
How am I deflecting the issue by saying 'I'm not perfect, and that's why I make mistakes'? The issue is me delaying the turn, and I'm saying it was a mistake on my part, as I'm not perfect and I do mistakes once in a while. Your reasoning makes no sense. And you aren't just asking me to check the forums every day and take my turns as quickly as possible, you are shouting here for everyone how I'm unreliable and a Liar. Once again showing how your reasoning makes no sense.
And yes I did come to the forums that day, but as I was mistaken by Koshling's trip, I didn't even bother to check the MP subforum, I only went to the main to see if there was something new. But unfortunately I didn't have much time at the moment.
To finish this, the way you're treating me isn't fair at all. I never behaved myself with you anywhere like this, even when I felt I could harm you or anyone else, I explained my ways and offered to not behave like I normally do with people who can interpret things wrongly from my part. I hate conflict, and I try to understand the others to avoid conflict.
So why don't you prove yourself right and discover the frequency in which I have been "lying"? Or will you calm down and act like a normal person? TBH, my
thermometer is @JosEPh_II, if he is complaining then I know I've been off track for too long or too oftenly. If he isn't, then my wrongs are understandable. I hope I don't become RF here. Although I don't know why you became so stupid with him, it was obvious that you were overreacting, as he wasn't doing the same to you, and no one else was doing this to him, showing that the guy with issues here is you.

Will take my turn after work. ETA is around 5PM EST.

Normal? Sorry, "normal" does not exist. It is a myth. And even if it did, one person's 'normal' would be another person's 'abnormal'.
That aside, you do make a few good points. There are a few things I have been being irrational about. Not everything, but a few things. I have a bit more thinking to do before commenting further on that.
I could go back and look at the delays on turns, and I just might, but that really isn't a relevant point. The point is that there have been delays and there should not have been. Period. If you really want to prove that you are reliable, then make certain that there are not any further delays to you taking your turns. Yes, I know you posted that you are going away for a week, I mean after that.
Anyway, turn 66 is completed, Thunderbrd is up for turn 67.

Yeah, 'Normal' is like a convention, which many people don't agree on, so it was just me trying to say: being different from what you were being. Thanks for being rational, usually things just escalate with irrationality from the point we were already, I'm glad it didn't.
I can't promise I won't cause a new delay ever again, what I can promise, and I already did, is that I won't disappear for no reason. When we had a MP that a turn could take from 4 days to a week and a half, 'disappearing' was more conceivable as the frequency wasn't enough for my mind to bypass the stress of an end of semester in college and remember I had to do my turn. But now it's different, we have been playing almost a turn for a day, so it's easier to remember this even if I'm with a tight schedule because of college, like I did in the end of last semester.
What has happened was a mistake, which could be interpreted as disappearing for no reason. But it wasn't, I really didn't see Koshling posting that this game would continue. Like Koshling, I wasn't following every post here, and when I saw TBrds post in the Massive MP I supposed that meant a break from all games until Koshling returned. My mistake.
But aside from that, I have good news, at least for this game. I brought my notebook to the trip, so I'll be able to play my turns when they come. I won't be online much, but I believe I'll be able to check at least once each day. Things come back to normal on the 10th of August.
