So, cancel all 7 games?

I think just game 3... It really depends if Tas joins before ye goes to bed :P

Or just ask a mod to force pause.
I'm sure someone is around. I'm on out now so I can't really send an email. Buy someone else can.

Honestly I'm happy with any solution that gets this rolling.

time to unpause!

For the 39 group, I have requested in the email correspondence with yebellz either a force pause until Tasnica can join game 3, or, if the phase has progressed, a force cancel and we will recreate it. If you object to these solutions, speak now or I'll see you in game, whenever it starts...

Alright, I've force paused game 3 of the 39 series until Tasnica can get in and we can do the shuffle.

Thanks ye. Many thanks.

time to unpause!

Looks like you're waiting on one more unpause in the 5 . When the 39 gets rolling, I'll post game links to all 14 games.

Why has Tasnica not logged on when he has committed to joining this event?
Why have at least 2 of the others in the group not bothered to vote pause?

The rest of the games are due to change turn in 8 hours time.

Rather than having 7 games indefinitely paused on our game list, might it be better at this point to have them cancelled and start again when everyone is on the same page?

Ye should be on soon to fix them all. I think Tas can only get on regularly at 8 UTC am and pm. Those are the time stamps I keep seeing. Anyway he has joined now.

Both the 39 and 5 games are set to begin
Players have been shuffled, phase length reset, and games have been paused.

Vote unpause when you are ready to begin

Thanks for shuffling. Do we all need to vote unpause now or will this be done for us?

sorry, didnt see your post ye

Many thanks, again, yebellz. Even offering links to the games. Very kind.

Quick reminder folks: They're all anon gunboat. No PMing each other and no commenting on running games on the forum, regardless of how tempting that is (and there were some extraordinary opening moves) so shhhh.

But we are allowed to communicate in open chat IN the games.

@Sarg: Relax, I'm here. I committed to joining a 36-hour phase game, and I have been online at least once every 24 hours. The incident with Game 3 was because one of the 5p players joined the game accidentally, preventing me from joining during that day's window of internet access.

On another note, I find it quite interesting that saved moves carry over after the country swap. Neat to see what the original players had input!

Good luck everyone, I anticipate interesting progressions and endings to each game. Final series EOGs (even brief impressions) would be nice at the very end.

EOG game 1 Stabbed and couldn't recover
EOG game 2 Stabbed and won
EOG Game 3 3 way draw
EOG Game 4 survived by the skin of my teeth
EOG Game 5 4 - way draw.

Good luck to you too.
I kinda stink at GBs. Hope I don't screw up too many stalemate lines.
