Hi All,
It is an unusual request, but this is the first time I strictly enforced the deadline. In other games, "obvious" retreats are auto-entered -- I don't do that simply because I like to keep the players guessing, for what that's worth.


Anyway, I am open for a vote, but it must be a quick one! 
Should Rolf's retreats be allowed?  Yes or No.  You have until 6 AM MST tomorrow morning (Sat 7/2Cool to make your vote.
ONLY A UNANIMOUS YES VOTE will succeed -- missing votes are counted as NO. (Rolf, you don't need to vote Smile)


Rolf, I know it's been a busy time, and I've been pretty lenient with the deadlines when you asked, so in the future, a quick 5 second email saying "really busy -- trying ---" will work as an extension request. I'm not going to hold the game for several days, of course, but a couple hours or a day is not out of the question. I totally understand busy times at work and fighting fires (heck, I live in Colorado. We were the "Burning State" a month ago).


Thanks,
Mike

Sorry folks, but at the moment I can not guarantee 24 hour responses.
I know I have already been the cause of a  delay lately.
Reason is, I'm still fire fighting on the job, as my project (where I am the PM) didn't make it for the planned go live July13.
 As for my retreats..  they would have been:
·         A Cyriss-Grendel     (which is more than obvious as it gets me a build)

·         F STX-Krynn              (but that disband doesn't hurt, as I may just rebuild the unit in Krynn)

 If such late correction (with this delivery even after results) was acceptable to the GM & fellow gamers. I'd be more then grateful.  
 If not, I'd of course  also accept the NMR & disbands (rules are there to follow, I know)
and will continue to play - I'm not the guy to simply drop out of a game when my situation gets hopeless.
 Yet hopeless it is  - but with one unit more, maybe it would be more fun for Mikes Ogres to bring me down, as their prey will be capable of playing a better match.

with magical greetings, waiting to hear your judgment

Betreff: DC406: Fall 09 Retreats Hi All,Perfect games are rare in Baseball, and in Dip.  It took until Fall 09, but we have our first NMR. No word from the Magicians, and so the units are disbanded.  Perhaps he was too busy getting his "Olympics Betting Pool" (my local pub is running one) bets ready. Or, maybe this is just a carefully planned re-organization of troops: the Mags get 2 builds!!
 Yes, Olympic Fever is descending upon the world, a time when we cheer on extra-ordinary athletes doing the very best they can, while we sit on sofas with Cheez-it crumbs growing on our stomachs. Not everyone can be an Olympian -- personally, I do my best to prove that I will NEVER be an Olympian, unless "insomnia", "trivia", or "TV Watching" become Olympic-qualifying events.  
 A special "Huzzah" to the Mike Sims, Ogres with an impressive *6* Builds!!! 
And picking up his gift bag on the way out is Michael Penner, Hobbits who put up a valiant fight and in the end sacrificed himself for the betterment of nearly everyone else (at least according to his final orders).  Thanks for Playing, Mike -- we have room on the couch for you!
