HiHi
Not at the moment DM, but check out 'Danish anyone', they may still need a Turkey player.
All the Best

Do that DM. We have a small, but loyal and growing pbem community. Apart fom teething problems, everyone in the 2 games I've been involved in have stayed the course, my longest game has just reached 50 turns. Not bad for a 7/8 player game. No dropouts apart from the odd technical difficulty either. What a great crowd!

Have a few really slow players in this one screwing the game up, IMO.
Need people to start showing up to play or go to our reserve list I think.

Well the first time it was my fault. I was able to play but then had to go for 48 hours.
This will happen sometimes. I know it tough. So I can ask some people to play my turns. I can also give up my position if you'd rather I do that. In the case of our Prussia player he has never been the quickest BUT the last turn was sent on June 28, 2009 2:30:28 PM from the No Frills account. Since this was a 48 hours turn around I believe we should leave him 48 hours. Still, I believe if you really want me to get the turn back to you in the next 48 hours I believe I need the turn in the 24-36 hours following the time I sent it.
I'm sending an e-mail

Im not blaming you Franck. And I also realize this game has had some weird technical/email related issues getting started.
However, I do wish the 48 hour max turn was very rarely approached by any player, instead of being consistently reached or exceeded every turn.
24 hour turns should be very doable, it takes about 5 minutes to make your moves and send your emails.

Prussian turn sent. My apologies for not being the quickest. I was planning to do some diplomacy before my turn, but I should have just sent it. I often instead of just doing the turn go and think what should I do and whom to contant only to find I ran out of time anyways. I see that we are aiming for 24h turns. I will try to do that then.

NP.
Im not trying to be a jerk about it either. If Im in the minority I will gladly go to the reserve list and you guys can get somebody in here that wants to play Austria in a nice super slow game. I would prefer we try to pick it up a little when everyone is at their computers to make up for the times when people cant help but be away for awhile.
Regarding diplomacy, whats worked well for me in the other two games that have been moving along at a pretty good clip (several occasions with more than 1 turn in a 24 hour period) is I try to front load as much of my negotiations as possible. I send messages about proposals for the next turn or two or three when I am sending in the files for the current turn, so the person I am talking to has a day or two to do whatever needs to be done to respond.

Just woke up.
I got to get ready for a meeting with someone for my essay at 10 eastern time. I should come back home after and I'll play the turn.
I used to be the one holding the game up in our other game. The reason wwas that I would always hold up on doing my turn until all diplomacy is resolved. Sure it would be more fun to have all diplomacy done quickly, but I feel that anyways it feel more authentic if diplomacy take a couple of in game turns to resolve
Anyways you'll get news from me around noon eastern time in all probability.
My GF arrives on thurday evening... If I could get the turn back before that

(you know women... They just hate it when you keep freshing you hotmail to know if you can play your turn...)
