Heya all,


I know I'm starting to sound like one of those old radio broadcasts, but thought I'd keep you all up-to-date.  Babak has been in touch and has asked the following press be passed along:


"Friends (and foes) please accept my apologies - my cpu is overridden with virusus, including much of my work docs and other items.  I have my phone with horrid email interface and no map view.  But I want to try to keep our various alliances and wars ongoing - please don't hold my lack of communication against me.  I have purchased a new computer, so I should be set up to go late next week.   Hope to fully re-engage you all soon"


Meanwhile, I've placed the game into Recruiting status and will be actively looking to find a replacement Sultan.  Steve, please let me know ASAP if you wish to continue in the game.


Cheers!
