Well i always feel that if you can ask for an extension you can find the time to do your orders. I'm usually more worried and lenient to players i don't hear from as i then tend to think that they're having problems getting online.
Ok, i'll finish eating and will get the turn run.

I definitely won't have an internet connection until next Thursday evening (gmt), I'm off to my french place which doesn't (as yet) have the electricity connected...
I will now put my next set of orders in but would like the 1 week rule to apply so I won't go M-1 etc.
Who whats my Treequake spell cast on them, any takers!?!

You may want to check the MRES rules, Hryll. A single treequake will bounce off any player that's built some tech by this stage in the game. Of course, if you know that someone is struggling, little things like that to keep the MRES down can make finishing them easier later on...

Are you nucking futs? Sal, run the turn anytime after the deadline has passed. As a GM I never waited for a players orders unless I was asked to. I had a lot of spare time back then and had turns run pretty promptly. Keep in mind that GMing a game is quite honestly a pain in the arse, lets not make more work for Sal as he's kindly volunteered to run a game that we've all been itching to play.korexus wrote:I think small extensions to get evryone's orders in would be good - with Val going M-3 we've actually only got 7 active players form the start, don't want to lose any more. But a quick email so we know you're on top of it would help the people who did send orders keep patient...
Who's be a GM, eh?

Well i like a game to be as honest as possible. So here's what i'm going to do. This next turn there will be 1 day extension for Smashy. But that's the last extension i'm giving people as you've got a whole week to do your orders and shouldn't wait till the very last moment to do them (man i sounds too much like a teacher).

No, I'm just aware that this is the first WoK V game in over a year and that we're starting with only 7 players. This is not a good situation to be putting anybody off. Especially as in this game a missed turn would be disasterous...Donut wrote: Are you nucking futs? Sal, run the turn anytime after the deadline has passed.

If you don't like to wait, you can always quit. Simple as that.
And don't worry about running the turn at deadline. If I don't have orders in by deadline, I sure will not be crying because I didn't get them in on time, should you run the turn. WOK is not, has not ever, and will never be more important than my family.

In case anyone didn't get the email, Wilfred is in hospital with a lung infection, pneumonia and suspected meningitis so the turn may have to wait a little bit. Apparently they won't discharge him for at least a week so you'll have to be patient, Donut.

Hi guys,
I've got home yesterday. Still feeling really weak, but the headaches from the lumbar punction are a lot less so i sneaked behind the computer for a while.
Thanks for all the well wishes. I hope to recover fully, but it will probably take several weeks to get my strength back up.
Anyway, i'll see if i can run the next turn either tonight or otherwise tomorrow.
