scooter and I just had a bit of a chat and agree its probably best just to call it. I know the lurkers are probably disappointed.

I'll wait on Sandover and Lewwyn though - don't want to end it if they still want to play, prefer it were unanimous.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Why do you want to end it? Just the slow play time?

I'd say for me about 90% of it is that.

It would really be a shame to see this game end this way. It's one of the most interesting reads and there is a lot to play for yet.

Me too guys, but if you play a turn every 4 days (actually, I've seen the last one 5 days ago...) it really is not fun.

Heh. I kind of want to see Gaspar's attack on me. I want to see if I can stall it at all.

If you guys want to end it...that's fine. I mean I'm pretty sure I would be taking a lot of damage if the game were to continue so its really no skin off my nose. :neenernee

I just looked through my stuff and we've played 18T in the last 30 days. That's pretty much 100% of my issue with the game. We've had other extremely slow periods but at least those coincided with vacations and the like, which is perfectly understandable. But this one really hasn't had any major real life issues that I'm aware of - I just honestly think the state of the game is only going to make this worse.

I'd be happy to play it out, I think there's still fun to be had in it. But I don't have any real confidence we'll get regular turns in, which is what I need to have fun with a game.

Yes it's definitly PBEM3 all over again. Been there, done that, and this time I won't even be first to tanks. If you want to call it a draw that's perfectly fine by me.

Alright yeah I'm good with calling it a draw and moving on. It was certainly a fun game. I'm going to wait at least 24 hours to consider it official and to start reading threads just in case someone changes their mind. I have the save in my inbox, but I've held off on playing while we determined what we were going to do.

My desire to stop was two things really - though they're related. Basically, the pace of the game just kills it. I got the sense that Gaspar and I were the only ones with strong interest still remaining, and for both of us, even that interest wanes when you frequently go days without seeing the save. I would also question game balance/fairness when you get into a situation like we are now where 3/5 people feel like they have no real chance to win but all can easily influence the game given where they're at.
