1275psi -> OK who did I upset??? (5/27/2008 2:38:38 PM)
One of the great mysteries of these forums. You select an opponent who's name is like a rash all over the forums -has immensly popular AARs, and plays immensly fairly, and keeps the turns coming.[:D] Then, nothing nada nitch zip.[:(][:(][:(] Did i upset someone? Has any one seen the general? I can't stand the thought of starting another AAR.[8\|]

My experience is that I am on travel sometimes for a week or so. I try to warn my correspondents how long to expect that to take.

Anyone and everyone can have life intrude it's ugly head into their gaming---but you OWE your opponants some type of "heads up" as to what's going on. Even if your computer crashes, you should be able to "borrow a friends" long enough to at least make a general forum announcement that you are "out of business" for a while. It's just common (or lately, uncommon) courtesy.

Maybe he's actually the Swedish Prime Minister?

cantona2 -> RE: OK who did I upset??? (5/27/2008 5:30:33 PM)
Hes been out of action for about month due to a lightning strike on his home. Im still awaiting replies to some emails i sent. I guess he'll be back and hes probably taking a break from Witp Post of the email he sent about 3 weeks ago, i think psi was on the receive list as well quote: Dear opponents, as you probably have noticed i've been away for 3 days. On Thursday evening a lighting struck the roof of my house and fried my pc and my television (a brand new Samsung 2000 euros worth!!). I'll be forced to buy a new pc and start it back all over again, so it will take few days. Incidentally here in Italy the 1st of May is the national holyday of all workers, so i'll be using this to grab a whole week end of vacations and i'll go to Sardinia till Sunday (starting from wedsday). I'm sorry for this delay and hope you'll understand. I should be back, fully operative, on Monday or Tuesday of the next week. Take care.

The question is, now thats its nearly a month since the incident -how long is it polite to wait before abandoning?. Its not very good to say, well Ill start a new game with some one else, then find out he re appears again -and then I find i have too many games on my plate (although thats impossible[:D] -one can never have too much WITP). I think a lot of you guys knew the General a lot better than me -should I give it what -2 more weeks -a month? This is a genuine question! On the matter of opponents - when it comes to AE -and we all"start again" -I know I will be very, very picky in who I play - its simple for me - prove you have at least 1 game(preferrably2) of WITP into 44 at least -or I wont even consider you. I personally think thats a rule we should all very carefully consider -especially in the light of people who say -Ill by WITP only when AE comes out, even after floating around these forums for years. Have they got the patience, the persistance, the love for the game to continue PBEM ing for the years required? They certaintly cannot show that they will abandon you 6 months down the track -or whan things go pear shaped. WITP, WITP/AE while PBEM ing is a very serious contract -, just look at the history of the AARs -just how many of us actually are going the distance?

Better yet, you could ask for the person's SS #, CC # and make him/her give you a deposit of an agreed sum of Cash to hold as collateral if they decide to bail out early.[;)]

cantona2 -> RE: OK who did I upset??? (5/28/2008 9:27:03 AM)
So psi, i guess that means my offer of a game is rejected?

crsutton -> RE: OK who did I upset??? (5/29/2008 12:14:41 AM)
Worst is when you deal out a crushing defeat and sink some major ships and you don't get a turn back for two weeks. However, I understand. It has happened to me before and sometimes you would rather smoke a turd than watch the next combat replay. Got to cut some slack in a situation like that. But when the turns start to come back very infrequently after that, it can get bothersome.

Well, you might want to allow for some slack on this. I haven't yet had a game go until 44, but I've had every intention to. Three games I was in my opponents just kind of vanished, another game got some nasty bugs in it and so we decided to start up anew once AE hits the shelves. My current game is on hold because of a crashed PC, but I'm pretty confident we'll get going again since he's really good about keeping up the communication. My point is, even someone who will stick it out might not make it because of THEIR opponents or other legitimate reasons.

Pear shaped its a RAN navy saying -i think it refers to what happens to 90% of our female sailors afetr a couple of years (or when things get "difficult" with the propulsion plant[:D])

Common in the UK too - isn't it funny to discover things like this that we take for granted, and other people have never heard of? As I will be stateside about 6 weeks from now.... ..for example, everyone here knows that Scottish �5 notes are worth (ummm) 1500 US dollars, but.... Dave
