@DeadTom:
Gargantua hasn’t posted a turn in several weeks, and has said in another thread (the XDAP game) that he won’t be able to play for several more weeks. What should we do about this?
You have a couple options:
1. You could request that this game be declared over. In that case, after your request, I will private message Garg with a final warning the he needs to start playing again. If he doesn’t post within 3 days (or tell us when his next post will be, but within a week), then the game is over and you are declared the winner. Garg can still participate in round 2 of course.
or
2. You can keep pestering Garg to post, and meanwhile enjoy your round 2 game. (this is part of the reason there are 2 rounds going on at same time, so that if one game is slow, you can always play the other one while waiting)
or
3. You can ask Garg if he would like to let someone else play for him for a couple turns or rounds until he gets back. If you take this route, you assume the risk that he will pick a player who is better than you.
unlike other games, like global, there isn’t that much to calculate in Napoleonic empires. there is no air, and the ships only move 2, and the ground only 1 or 2, so nothing too crazy can happen. with no team members to consult, these turns should be moving pretty fast, and be pretty easy to do.
