I have no idea how much time off or when you guys get for memorial weekend...

I always find it amusing that us Americans always want holidays off to pause games... it is a worldwide game with international participation... so why not have all holidays off?...
What about the host that invites you to a game and sends all the details like 24 hour gens, if you miss 2 turns you get put on inactive, etc. Then all of a sudden turns are now 48 hours by request of some players. Funny thing though, you never get to know who requested it.  I call it the BS syndrome. The "blonde sally" syndrome. Sorry, private joke.  Those sally breaks are a whole 'nother post.  Reminds me of voting in some countries. "Saddam was elected by an overwhelming majority." Yeah, right. Only the living got to vote...  The opposition party is under the highway construction plan. When Saddam said "my way or the highway" they didn't know he was talking about under the highway. Or what about the host that doesn't mention any holidays and then all of a sudden the game takes a spring break? Give me a break!
Holidays off? As if. Okay next month we're gonna break for Easter, Cinco de Mayo, the new moon and Mother's Day. Any Canadians out there wanna throw in Victoria Day? Oh and don't forgot Memorial Day. Hail, with all these game holidays you don't even need email anymore to coordinate with allies. Just use the mailbox. That way you get updates and maybe presents too. Instead of worrying about packets you can worry about packages. Instead of computer viruses you get a crack at the real thing via parcel post.
Once you get an answer in the mail even if you don't know where his home world is you know where his home is.  If he doesn't give you a good deal on territorial borders you fly up there some weekend during one of the long holds and knock on his door and say: "Howdy, I am ambassador from the Grakolites and I am here to negotiate. I gave up football, basketball and weightlifting to become negotiator this weekend. While you're taking a break I'm out here making some breaks. The last guy wouldn't give me any germanium so I break his legs. I also am a federal law enforcement agent and have seven degrees in martial arts. Do you wish to negotiate now?" By the way that last package we sent you was a mistake, it was supposed to go to the Mongoids. I hope it didn't harm anyone yet? If it did I can offer you weapons tech, which I happen to have with me here under my vest, and a new world with lots of minerals, in a hole, in Arkansas.
And I like the solutions offered. Well, why don't you play more than one game, I play four? Yeah, right. Either underload or overload your butt cheeks... Yo mon, I host two, play three and am in a duel with a half-human half-vegetoid. And at work in my spare time when I am not allowed to be working I write long posts on HWForum. And on Monday and Friday I eat. And Thursday I cut the grass and get really messed up for the party on Saturday night. Yo mon were gonna bomb his HW and his major and minor planets and get really bombed out ourselves dude. Were gonna hit his fleets and our bombs until were bombed out and then hit our bombs again until we don't know who's bombed and who's bombing. Far out dude. Were gonna make some real progress soon man. Anybody up for a couple duels in between my free time? 'Cause I'm not married anymore. I lost her when I became intermediate level player. She couldn't take the micromanagement anymore and told me I had a warped drive and left me for a lemon with an Apple.
