Balance of Power II: 1861 (Sign Up/Rules/Commentary Thread)

[Enduro]

Should I wait for those events in the Civil War thread?

[Dereich]

They'll be up tonight, I promise!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Florida, Indochina, Denmark...now you just need a war in Africa, South America, and Australia to get the whole set!

[Dereich]

Ok, I'm going to break my promise and say tomorrow morning/afternoon. All I need to do is find some proper wording but I'm too tired to continue right now.

I'm seriously considering Zanzibar.

Seriously though, if other players remains as active as now, I will have to land in Florida just to wake them up...

[Lumine]

In a slight modification, mid-term war results are pushed to Monday (because of the time zone I'm not sure of what day it actually is for the rest), I struck a bit of a complicated detail that I'm wondering whether to simulate or not (chances are I'll go for the simple route). Beyond that, I'm aiming at Friday for war-phase two, Saturday for turn end and Sunday for Turn Three.

Regarding the activity issue, I know for certain France (Kingpoleon), the UK (Spamage), the CSA (Enduro), Prussia (Kalwejt) and Italy (Windjammer) are participating, and if I recall correctly NeverAgain (Russia) is taking on a trip soon, making for six players. The Ottoman Empire (Steelers) seems to not have participated in some time, so I'll PM him.

Beyond that, I think I'll contact former players of the first version (or other forum members I can think of) tomorrow to see if we can fill some key states, having Austria or the USA would help (the sad thing is that some previous players are not around, like Clarence or Sawx).

It seems we have much bigger problems with keeping the people in than the first time

[Lumine]

Well, I accept most the blame for that, the delay I faced obviously had an impact (along with the fact these games are time consuming). Ultimately, if anyone has any ideas on potential players and so on, do let me know.

[Kingpoleon]

I'm still awaiting many NPC responses before forming my war plans, so...

May I suggest pushing to Tuesday and pushing for ten day turns thereafter?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

We're still in a second turn and it's been going on for 8 days. I understand Lumine needs an extra day, given all moderators need to process, but I strongly oppose any futher extension.

Seriously, 8 days and only two players (Spamage and me) even bothered to post in the main thread. With such attitude you're only making this more difficult to Lumine and Dereich. If this is to go on then I think we should just give up.

[Kingpoleon]

I'm still awaiting NPC responses, though.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm sorry, everyone, but due to a serious sudden RL emergency, I won't have any time to play, and I'd rather relinquish my part and allow Lumine to offer it to someone else than remain a zombie player.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

[windjammer]

Well,
Too many people are busy,
Maybe we should give this game a break?

[Lumine]

I can see the merit in that, Windjammer, and after consulting with Dereich I've decided to open a poll on the subject (best to have a collective decision than to just suspend it out right). It will be up in a couple of minutes.
