Sorry everyone. Civnut inquired as to why I always took sooo long to play my turns, every single time i get them it takes like 4 days to play. I responded that for me the game was no longer fun, yet however i did not wish to quit and ruin everyone else's fun. I have very limited free time, and in between this lack of time and no real desire to play my turn, the only times when i could play my turn were late nights on friday and saturday. Civnut understood that he was not playing to win -- he was playing to have fun and lack of desire and long turn intervals took away that fun which he was craving. When we started this game, I was serious about seeing it through but i will admit that civ is not the most important thing in my life, and it doesn't come anywhere close to being one of the top 20 most important things in my life. I apologize that i am not going to rush home and play thge game the day i get it. I apologize that I am probably not going to play the game within 4, maybe 5 days of getting it depedning upon what day of the week i receive the game. Having last received it on sunday, there would obviously be the widest gap possible in my playing time. So I am sorry i am not someone serious about playing civ. I am sorry that I have sucked the fun out of a game that other poeple were otherwise enjoying. From what I've heard, Japan and American were about to start a huge naval battle.From what Civnut has said, it appears he will not be the only one leaving. So whoever wants to leave, I understand and hope you will leave with my greatest apologies, and the pride of a game well-played. If anyone chooses to stay then I would like to continue playing this game with replacement people. Maybe someone from the same alliance can just take over for there resigned teammate. I know atleast one of you will stay. So I end this message with a heavy heart saying I am sorry, and thanks for sticking around as long as you have.
