We have one getting close... March of 1811. 7 players.

The same 7 players the whole time? If so, that's impressive.

No, Neverman... That would be impressive. Only 3 of the 7 are original but 6 of the 7 have been in since late 1806.

I think when this game was very new (we started with version 1.01) we had some folks appear and not really know the nature of the game and then decide that it was not to their liking...

This is actually still quite impressive.

Is this game one of the TGHQ games though? If so, not quite as impressive, IMO.

No, it is one we run on a Google site. We get done three or four moves each day, sometime slower (March of 1809 took about week) and sometimes faster. The skip move system really helps. Very reliable group of players including EXP101, DCWhitworth, DSahlin, HANBARCA, MitchLedford, and Steve Williams (who I don't know is one the forums or not). Trick is, in my opinion, have an ally run your country for you when you go on vacation. Also, reminders to friends via text once in a while...
