Tuesday Game 2

[unmerged(17563)]

All

lets make a special effort to all be there this week, its not fair on those who turn up every week for some of us to be no shows

 

[Veilwalker]

Yes, that would be a great day if everyone showed up on time

 

[Tem_Probe]

My connection in the evening hasn't stabilised at all. Its even become a recurrent problem. I'll try and contact the company to fix it, but I have little hope in the immediate. A new permanent player may be needed since I'll probably be unable to play

Okies

remember to factor in daylight savings

I double checked the times for me and I think its around 12 noon but if I am late its cos I got the conversion wrong

 

[Veilwalker]

Do we have anyone lined up to take Tem's place in the likely event that his connection is still crap?

The game will be starting an hour earlier for those of us that had a clock switch? Is that correct?

 

[Frank XIV]

Tem could you find a new perm for Prussia? Maybe you or we should also post something in Perm/Sub List thread from the Main EU2 MP menu.

Eastern Time here is 12:25pm, see you there in 8h35 from now.
This is allright?

 

[Tem_Probe]

I asked Drew, he seemed interested in taking over but has yet to confirm. Hopefully we'll have someone lined up for Prussia tonight.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Just a quick reminder about those edits.

I am requesting the following edit:

Please give ownership of the following provinces to Prussia before next session:

Cyprus (Famagusta, ID # 484)
Corfu (Corfu, ID # 820)
Rhodes (Rhodes, ID # 481)

In exchange he is giving me 3000 ducats, which will be paid either in game or through a future edit, as he does not have it on-hand right now.

Thank you.

ill resign as egypt from this game just annoyng to make the times these days

hg will most likly take over egypt next week as perm but due to election he can't this session

 

[Veilwalker]

Could you do the decent thing and play this session rather than quitting a couple of hours before we are set to play again?

 

[Frank XIV]

Cmon guyz. Make a little effort for tonight....

 

[unmerged(17563)]

Plz guys I'm really busy and cant do edits now However I will be on time.

DUma when you get here pls do edits and try to confirm a sub or two

 

[unmerged(3158)]

well edits are done, but I think we should consider postponing this session with the election here. Some of you will be distracted with the coverage, plus for us Canadian's, we are keenly aware that we do not want another protectionist president like Bush in office again. So many of us are watching the coverage as well.

It's up to you all, but I know I will be distracted while playing.

bleh call it off

Go Kerry

Protectionist President? Are you freaking kidding me? President Bush is one of the biggest proponents for free trade in the world. Senator Kerry has repeatedly shown throughout his political career and in this campaign that he will institute all kinds of protectionist measures to protect his interests, aka American Unions. I find it to be a very scary idea that the coverage in Canada and the perceptions are so out of sync with reality.

This is getting ridiculous that we keep calling off the game every week. It isn't like this election snuck up on us...especially Americans, Good lord we have been bombarded by it for almost 2 years now!

If we are going to postpone this game week in and week out then what is the sense in even continuing it?

 

[Zeitgeist]

It's been fun, but it just doesn't make any sense for me to keep playing on when all I'm accomplishing is pissing off my girlfriend by choosing EU2 over her Tuesday nights and then we don't even play the game. So, Byzantium now needs to be filled as well. Good luck with the game.

 

[Veilwalker]

I might as well throw the towel in as well. I have shown up and not played more times than I have shown up and played so it doesn't make sense to even continue the pretense that there is a tuesday night game.

Yep, we have a perception that's very out of sync with reality. Bush closed the border to Canadian beef, to Canadian lumber, etc... That's free trade for you. But yeah, I'm aware that Kerry is supposedly more "protectionist" than Bush is, but in practice, Bush has made more protectionist policies toward Canada than Kerry probably would have, all protectionist that he is. Anyway, race is over now. Just doesn't look good, another 4 years of ambivalent relations with the US, despite our wishes to have the usually solid relations.
