Boy, could I use that map, Abe.
Sorry, I’ve been lazy doing the retreats, I got them both over the weekend. I’ll get the map out tonight. Reason for the delay is, as tjblack notes, the fact that the game’s in limbo with us down a player. If anyone’s got any replacement candidates let me know (or if any of the people observing this thread wants to play); but failing that I think I have a Super-Secret Special Surprise player who may be joining us shortly.
[just got back from Fla, hasn’t read e-mail yet]
How long is a shortly?
Seems like a lot of our war-gaming has gone into limbo with the advent of the real war.
Well I’ve found a replacement. Just be happenstance his name is also McGready, and you can e-mail him at mcgready@hotmail.com.
Now rest assured this is not I.
Yes, it is.
No, it isn’t. You shut up.
Any word on a replacement, or is this game up in smoke?
up in smoke?
:flick of a lighter:
:gurgle, gurgle, gurgle:
:HACK! SPUTTER! cough, cough, gag, wheeze:
“Duuuuuuuuuude”
Is the replacement Saddam Hussein, and the delay is trying to find him? I say we give him Austria.
War or no war, I was playing for a distraction, and that hasn’t changed. Given the number of people who pop up wanting to be in the next game, I wouldn’t think it’d be very difficult to find someone.
I’m down to just 4 games to run, you know…
If you guys still need a replacement player, I’ll do it.
I need one more for next Friday night Realtime Dip, anyone here who can take the last spot?
Well I guess I’m out of Realtime Dip.
That’s real nice Dave. Thanks for letting me know up front. I can’t believe I have to find out about it in another thread. I feel so betrayed. So betrayed.
I’ll take Realtime Dip if you’ll take 1099. E-mail WL, he’s the GM.
Another apology. I may have to bow out of Minime because I keep shoving 1099 to the back burner which really isn’t fair to you all. Give me to the weekend to get this all figured out; I’ll get the replacement lined up and have our next deadline set by Sunday night.
Just to give us a light at the end of the tunnel.
I think that garius might be exiting soon from -Gry and could be looking for a new game. He’s pretty crafty, but I stabbed him pretty seriously and got Russia and Italy to attack his Turkey at the sametime, so he never really had a chance. If he’s willing to take the space I think he’d make a solid addition.
Plus he’s easy to stab 
If the 4th dosen’t come off, ppg, you can come back. We’ve got 6 for the 4th right now, I’m hoping to find a 7th rather than starting all over again.
No, no go ahead. I realize how hard it is to coordinate 8 people, so if you get the 4th up and running great. Otherwise just let me know.
It was the sweet and innocent doe-like look you gave me.
how could anyone so cute possibly stab me???
So is a replacement player pretty much out of the picture here?
Let’s see if **RTFirefly, lno, iampunha, Pucette, etc.**do vanity searches.
Not to be pushy, <push push> but which weekend shall I anticipate this? <push>
He’s on the west coast in Cali.
They have different weekends there. I think they’re on Wednesday and Thursday.
Shibb was right in that thanks to his coalition building efforts i’m now all but out of -gry, so if you guys need a replacement then i’m happy to offer my services.
Its either that or sign on to whatever the world leader equivalent of unemployment benefit is…
