Seriously, though, it's pretty absurd that Tamas doesn't just leave his move instructions with someone he trusts.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

ok guys, Drakken has like a 15 minutes window per day when he is able to post, and I get the flak?

Anyways, here is my play:

#30: 3 / Ruler Falls Ill

Message from Ottoman:
I'll have Drakken discard his last remaining card please.

Habbaku

Drakken gets enough flak over faking reading the rules.  I'll give him a pass on his time, because at least when he does make his plays, he's prompt in responses and posts when the rest of us are around.

Card discarded.

#75: 2 / The Lost Colony [MANDATORY]

Message from Holy Roman Empire:
Card discarded by Tamas' card play.

PLay Nostradamus in my ongoing effort to get every card in the deck into my hand at some point this turn.

I draw 2, then discard 1. No file.

Maybe though it seems unfair to call out Tamas when we're losing the bulk of a day because of Drak.  Not that I mind the time that either of them take.

I believe were up to you now?

In contrast, I do my best to double-check the rules on my plays. :P

So do I (when I can), but the rules were/are rather arcane to me, even after the first read. Only by playing (and being corrected when I do wrong) do I grasp the rules of these games, which IHMO is not the hallmark of being written for a common people, non-boardgaming audience with next to no prior experience in this type of game.

No kidding. I understand Drakken's time limitations and accept them, but let's not single me out as the main delayer :P

The rules seem pretty straightforward to me. :huh:

:lol: I love this turn of yours. Ridicoulous with all these card drawing and customizing. I would love it even more if we weren't at war.

I'm the main delayer, Tamas. I don't have access to CB 24 hours a day.

Until recently, most of my moves were made without access.  Actually that's largely only changed because you take your impulses in the evening when I'm back at home. :D

I was actually talking about Jeromey - his being on 20something no school sleep till noon everyday time is what is really slowing us down.
