This is not an extension, it is a deadline revision after learning of a change in my availability. 2 PM will be the deadline for the game not just this upcoming turn.
I apologize if my prior explanation left you feeling betrayed and or uninformed, I will explain the change. My son is having knee surgery this afternoon, this means that I will have to drive him to school for at least 2 months. He finalized his schedule ( I hope) yesterday and it became clear that I could not reliably make an 8 AM deadline. 2 PM appears to be a time I can reliably get to the game every day, thus I changed the deadline time to increase the chance that I will not be late, or rushed, with adjudication.

.ExternalClass DIV {;} BULL!
Not that I don't appreciate her GM'ing, I certainly do, but the rules were made perfectly
clear. You mean to tell me that if one of us had "a variety of reasons" we would be granted
a delay? I don't think so.
Either we are playing no delays or extensions, or we are not. When I GM a game I hold myself
to the same standard I expect from the players.
All that being said, I do appreciate the notice that there will be a delay.
And, yes, I expect to be beset by players thinking I'm an ass. Been there, done that.

Word of advice: When someone is volunteering their time so that you can play a really fun game, don't criticize how they do it.

So "There will be NO delays or extensions" is just a crock?
Or perhaps it only applies to the players? This is why absolutes
are so dangerous.
GM credibility just dropped 2 points.

Due to a variety of reasons I am changing the deadline back to 2 PM CST (GMT -6) 2000 GMT
