John Kettler Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Kanonier Reichmann, Where, praytell, is my turn? I sent one out to you fifteen seconds ago! Well? (stamps foot impatiently) Seriously, glad you're back! Now if whoever abducted Lindan would but return him...

Lindan Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Hi John, Aliens of 5 different star systems abducted me already and always brought me back as fast as they could. I'm waiting for your turn for quite a while now... cheers, Oli 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 (following tearing clothes, rending flesh, autoflagellation and donning sackcloth and ashes) Lindan's "absence" turns out to be my brain's absence. He sent me a turn some days ago, to which I replied...sort of. By sort of, I mean that I tried several times to send him the turn, but it wouldn't go. Believe a geomagnetic storm was raging then. I wound up putting it in Drafts with a plan to send it when things calmed down, but then simply forgot about it completely, given a host of things to deal with. Since I "remembered" sending it, I naturally (wrongly) figured he owed me a turn. I have now sent him the long delayed turn. Kanonier Reichmann has been sent a turn, too, but in a timely manner.

I will again reiterate the importance of knowing where you are in terms of games being completed, and your current turn rate. If by this time you have more than 20 turns to go in any one game, and are exchanging one file a day or less, then you will not finish in time unless you make arrangements somehow to increase that rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 shock trooper, We are indeed iffy, given where we are in our fray. Be of good cheer, though, for I have already replied to the turn you sent me. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Monday brought with it turns from Lindan and Kanonier Reichmann. Have already replied. Wanted to add that I just got and replied to turns from shock trooper and Lindan. The game with Lindan is all but done, barring randomly added turns.

John Kettler Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Lindan has excelled himself, presenting me with yet another turn early Tuesday. Since insomnia rules here, I've replied in kind. Shaping up to be a great wargaming day! Kanonier Reichmann sent me a turn, and I've already answered.

Kingfish Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 John Osbourne, My e-mail to you just bounced back due to your spamblocker. You need to fix this asap before you can join the tourney. I can give you 24 hours to sort it out, but after that we'll have to go to the next guy in line. E-mail me when you get it fixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Lindan the Stakhanovite! A veritable wargaming dynamo, he's churned out yet another turn. Happily, I checked before crawling off to what passes for sleep, and have replied. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Spurred on by Lindan's peerless example, I have received from and shot back turns to Kanonier Reichmann and shock trooper. Thanks to KR, we're on the last few turns (we hope). Since he increased the turn rate, shock trooper and I are now almost halfway done.

John Kettler Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Lindan has now been sent what may or may not be my last turn. Of course, the same could be said for several turns earlier! Nothing thus far from either Kanonier Reichmann or shock trooper. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 The good news? shock trooper sent me a turn; I've replied. The bad news? He's leaving for the weekend and won't be back until Sunday!
