Ptolemy said the game probably wouldn't start until the beginning of next week depending on Ron's schedule, and that was before the (slight) delays presumably caused by f7redrik and neilhoward (no problem btw guys - these things happen).

Wouldn't hurt to get an update anyway though Very Happy

EDIT: OK, now I'm starting to get a little impatient. There's only so much refreshing the forum and my gmail can take Laughing

Looking at the active games on Autohost, I think he's submitted turns for at least a couple of games in the last 48 hours or so (although it could, of course, be a substitute player doing his turns for him).

It usually takes a little time to get a game going and put it up on Autohost. It will probably be up sometime next week.

Well if Ptolemy's gone, is there someone else experienced who can host? I might try hosting if no one else volunteers; I want to get this game off the launch pad.

I'll take over. But I need all race files and email addresses again. Would help as well if you could sent me one last set of rules and universe parameters.

OT:
What's the best way to try and find out if Ptolemy is alright? He seems to have dropped off the board and that does not seem typical.

I'm in!

By the time you realize how steep the curve is, you will be using five types of calculus to get to the market. You will then need three different calculators to perform what you once considered basic arithmetic.

My apologies to everyone.

I became quite ill (I have a bleeding ulcer in the small intestine) for a couple weeks and didn't manage to do much of anything. Then, the first half of my vacation started and I was gone. I'm back now though still mostly queasy most of the time.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.

No problem, Ptolemy - I think we were all mostly worried about you as much as anything. I hope you have a rapid return to perfect health, and that you managed to enjoy your vacation!
