I am not happy about having somone stand in for me for two moves, as
my stratagies & relationships with other players will certainly be
compromised; however it is not my decision to make!
If a standin is used, I think it only right that the standin player
takes over GB through to the end of the game, (which is quite likely
what the GM preffers?). But I would like it made clear that I am not
resigning from the game, as once I commit myself to a game, I see it
through to a conclusion. Other email diplomacy games that I am
involved in have been put on hold, as like this one, I notified the GM
in plenty of time that I would be unavailable through family
commitments. It seems as though a precedence has now been set in this
game.
