well, since I've already mentioned it, I might as well finish my thought, since you all already hate me anyway....
Saep - I wouldn't say the Game's falling apart, but I think we can all agree that it would be more fun if it went faster.
I don't think clockwork should dedicate his life to the Game, but isn't there a hope that the Game won't be continually slowed down by the _DM_?
It sounds like we players have been doing our part to scurry the Game along at a good clip - clockwork, I understand if you have RL issues that unexpectedly get in the way, but things like Warcraft 3 don't exactly impress me as being a reason to cause multiple players to wait for their enjoyment of a Game.
cw - it couldn't take THAT long to just post a player's action once it arrives, could it? A couple minutes a day?
Is there something that makes it difficult for you to keep up with the duties of the Game?
I'd imagine the mapping to be the hardest part - what IS the hardest part for you? (other than dealing with me and my big mouth, of course)
