Yes, I will apply the patch when it comes out. That means that all the players in my hosted game also need to apply the patch to get in. Otherwise you will get a mismatch message.

AFAIK 3.13 should have no effect on Warlords, since it's a BTS patch. Warlords should still be at 2.13 as before. I'll be ready to play in a few days.

No matter if we start this week or the next it would be great if we could start on a Saturday to make sure there is some time to assess the situation during the weekend.

The game is on hold now for a month. That pause for Emp. was fine with me but now I think we should fix a date when we are going to continue. Otherwise we all might lose interest in this game. If that hasnt already happened. Can we resume the game next Saturday?

Emp., IMHO this is not good style. First you ask for a time-out for your holiday, then you need a time-out for exams. We gave them to you. Now both have past and you dont answer posts anymore, whats next? Is it maybe that you just dont want to lose this game? Let me know when you are ready to continue to play within the next 7 days or I will consider this game to be won by me. I have twice your military and I think my track record in this game shows that I know how to handle it. It is a real pity because this could have been an interesting late game warfare which not very often takes place. If you dont like to play this game anymore, the thing to do is write a post and conceed. But thats probably asking for too much.

While I do think Emperor should be prepared to concede if he can't resume play in a reasonable amount of time, I don't think it's fair to question his motives in staying away. In at least one other game I'm aware of (my CivIVor2 team game) he's not played a turn in a month or so either, his teammates have completely taken over his turns (and they've got a fair chance at winning, they're currently tied for first out of six teams) and I don't recall him posting anywhere recently, either.

Well, you probably know him better than I do. I dont mind postponing a game but in my view it is important to fix a date when to resume the game because otherwise people- or at least I personally - lose interest in this game (and would like to start others).
You are right that I am not entitled to judge whether in Emperor's case this is cause by urgent RL issues or deliberate or careless postponement. All I know is that this threat has a notify function and this makes it rather easy to keep informed of the other players post and to write a quick answer.

It's entirely up to Plattfuss as wether the game continues.

If somebody is willing to sub for Emp that is fine with me. If the remaining players agree we could resume this weekend?

It is quite sad to see that his tactic in the end worked out and nobody is interested in finishing this game anymore.

In hindsight I must say I dont agree. In a teamgame there is no problem for your teammates to take over. If you play individually you should find a sub if you cant play. Emp asked specifically not to be subbed because he himself wanted to play his turns. If you ask for this special treatment the minimum is to give note that you dont need it anymore so the game can go on.

otify those who have not replied that this game could be back on. If anyone has Emp's password, then please give it to me if not, I will try and contact him, if that is possible.

I think if you really want to continue the easiest way would be to put all players that do not show up on AI. Due to a war that was going on Emperor and I own quite a lot of the world and it will be very hard for the other civs to change the course of events anyhow

Due to a war that was going on Emperor and I own quite a lot of the world and it will be very hard for the other civs to change the course of events anyhow I'd agree with this - as the player controlling (IIRC) the 3rd most powerful civ when the game went down, there was zero chance at that point for me to even help determine whether it is Plattfuss or Emperor that wins (apologies for tortured syntax there), to the extent that I wouldn't mind being kicked to AI for the remainder of the game anyway.

As you are (were?) teaming with him in the CivIVor game, I suspect you would know what his status is as well as anyone. In any case, Whiplash can just kick him to AI at a specific time, such that if you log in on his civ before the turn changes over, not much harm done and I'm sure Plattfuss wouldn't take advantage of any really moronic AI moves.

And that, I do agree with - I don't know why Emp has faded from view, but there is (was?) an expectation that he at least announce a departure. I do hope that it has just been negligence or unwillingness to play out a loss on his part and not a real-life catastrophe.

Thats probably the best solution. IIRC we had agreed on a no-attack period of another 12 or 13 turns to be able to regroup units anyhow. So there will be little possible damage.
