USSR is already now at a status where no waiting will occur if is the sole missing player. Running turns with 2 mising can make the game a farce which makes me tentative about ruining a game others have made a real effort at.

Can we impose a stricter rule about this?
Granted NMRs are a pain, I feel after ample warning (say,
the e-mail sent out on Monday) and a 24 hour grace period,
waiting penalizes the other players. It also causes
confusion with correspondence, as the "diplomacy
phase" is extended for an indefinate and somewhat
unpredictable amount of time....

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The
ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they
were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end
because how could the end be happy? How could the world go
back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in
the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the
darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun
shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories
that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you
were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I
do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of
chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept
going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo.
And it's worth fighting for."
