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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Japan, you still alive!?

You can’t go seppuku on us yet!

How did those 24 hour work days treat you?

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

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

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.

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.

hi guys,

this is just a friendly recommendation, but as this is a team game why not lean on your team mates. if you are struggling to find time to do your turn, why not ask your teammates to take your turn for you, just as dj suggests.

or just have the first team member to come and download the opposing teams turn play their team’s turn no matter who was originally designated to play a certain power. so whoever can do a turn first, does. this should speed things up.
