I was stalked on another game thread with this from Rufus: "Hello guys, I understand that you are enthusiastic starting another game. But please keep an eye on the games where you are already participating. There are two Triumph games that are running very slow and there are turns for more than ten days at dropbox now. I dont want to start too many games and therefore want to finish one game before participating in a new one. But I get tired of waiting again and again. Had feeled at home in this community for a long time. But it turns out being frustrating more and more as games are dying due to players that have lost interest or have no idea where they are involved while running too many games at same time. I have to admit that one reason to buy TOAW IV was that I am looking for some PBEMs that are running faster than the ones I am involved here and of which I can be sure they will be played to the end instead of being givern up due to inactivity of players." My response was this: FYI this is a passive aggressive attack on me. Look, I'm sure you're an awesome guy, but to say the quote below to me 2 weeks ago in defense of yourself and an attack on me, and then say what you are saying now is really laughable. I think you should find a replacement for me, as you obviously have a deep seeded grudge... I'm German too and I, at least form my family, know grudges don't die easy with the Germanic. Hand filling and adjusting, I don't know, a few hundred units and building dozens more and trying to learn the system while setting up strategies and tactics to rebuild the entire soviet army is at least double or triple the amount of work for your turn. I am thoughtful with every unit... that's just how I play. It took you from the 6th to the 12th to finish your turn, and despite your incorrect assumption I wasn't sweating you. You and I aren't here for this, brother. We are here to have fun. I'll finish my turn by tomorrow and then you can replace me. Maybe we can play another game in the future and have a more amicable time in the sun. Rufus quote: "Have had some busy time at work. Sorry for keeping you waiting for four days. @ Armoured Lion There are other games that run slow as well. Four days is far below the average of other games where I am participating. At GB1938-game27-turn-33 a player took 12 days to play his turn. Turn 34 seems to be continued after 4 days now. At New Triumph game we are waitung for four days as well. At first Triumph game it is 13 days now and at Third Triump game we are waiting for 17 days already. So please be patient and be careful before accusing someone here in public." I was given the advice to hand craft my units, which I have been nearly everyone... but my turn around wasn't up to snuff as far as speed it would seem. I thought quality was important, and given Rufus' speech on time frame and patience I thought, as the top two most complex turns, that I was still in the green. I contacted Rommel with notification of why the delay. I guess I was wrong. I hold zero grudge. I have read many of Rufus' posts and he sounds like a good guy... and as a fellow German, albeit I'm a German American, he has great genes--so what is there not to like. But obviously this isn't going to work. I'll have my round for you tomorrow. Sorry to disappoint. Best of luck and wishes.
