[eskander]

Sorry for the delay, folks. Travel has been hectic.  Finally hunkered down in a hotel. Game on.

[eskander]

Obviously I’m not the only one that’s busy.  Everyone still alive?

[U-505]

Yep. I believe my partner is out until the 17th if I can recall correctly.

On a side note, since we have a few days and I have time, does anyone object to me updating the map to the new 1.6.1 engine? The old 1.5.1.2 engine is giving me fits in the one other game I am playing with it and I’d like to permanently remove it from my system as soon as possible.

On another side note, The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul is still sitting on my coffee table collecting dust since I hadn’t put it back on the shelf after reading it again about 6 months ago. I wish I could find my copy of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.

[eskander]

Updating is good by me if its less trouble than dealing with the current issues you have.  I haven’t even looked at the change log yet, but hopefully its worked through a couple of kinks.

To be honest, I’ve never read any of Adams’ Dirk Gently.  I used the name because its mentioned in a part I enjoy in one of his Hitchhiker’s, and those books were a topic of discussion between my partner and I recently.

I need to pick the Dirk Gently books up, though.

[U-505]

I’ll take a shot at it sometime after midnight. Turns out most of the problems are on my opponents end, but I’d still like to get this updated anyway. I’ve got 3 separate icons for the different engines and I’d like to get the 2 obsolete versions off the books.

[U-505]

Here it is. Please double check for accuracy.

[djensen]

I’m back. Where do we stand with this game?

[U-505]

Game was paused for your break. I edited the map to fit the 1.6.1 engine, but otherwise nothing new.

[eskander]

Just so you folks know, I am in a rather high tempo work situation right now (18 - 24 hr workdays), but this circus should end the 21st.  I haven’t checked the updated map, but I trust your diligence.  Once the 21st hits, I should have little else on my radar.

[eskander]

I am back home now. Finally updated my program to boot.

Japan, you still alive!?

You can’t go seppuku on us yet!

[Gargantua]

How did those 24 hour work days treat you?

[eskander]

30 hrs is usually when the delirium sets in.  That’s when it gets really fun.

[U-505]

@Eskander:

Japan, you still alive!?

You can’t go seppuku on us yet!

I PM’d my partner a while back and either I got no response or I accidentally deleted it when I was cleaning out my inbox. I’ll give him another shout.

[djensen]

I got the message. I did a dry run of my turn tonight and should have something ready by tomorrow.

[eskander]

I don’t mean to pedantically rush you, Dj. I have patience in excess.

However, I am growing more concerned about the length of this game for the sake of the other folks in the tournament.

There are 4 games, 8 teams, left on their first game so we’re not quite an outlier yet; but we are the furthest behind with our turn 3 status.

If you need more time for your turn, that’s fine, I’d say they can all wait.  They just may not agree with that sentiment.

[djensen]

Sorry guys, had a family emergency this weekend. If I can’t get my turn done tonight, I’ll let my teammate move for me.
