delayed games status

The problem we have is that generally we contact the players and then don't
get anything back - now is that because they have not yet read their email,
intend to drop, we have got their wrogn email address? This added to the
delay that we are experiencing with Pipex's hacker means that we cna't
really tell when the game is being run.

Update for now is:
Game 47 : waiting for one player
Game (4)52 : waiting for one player
Game 109: Game is ending, when - you guessed it, we hear from one player.
Game 50: waiting for one player

In g47, 452, 109 and 50 they have all informed us that turns are on the
way.

Everything else is fine and upto date. Other games are going out tonight
and then we are upto date.

Could you post here and or on the DGE board a status report like an
airline board:

Game #
Date scheduled to run
Run yet? If so, when were turns emailed?
Not run? Are all orders in your hands? How many missing?
If all are in, when will you be running them?

I am in 2950-106 and have been waiting for days constantly thinking
the turn could be coming any moment now or could be delayed for days
more. Very irritating. Emails are either unanswered or answered in
vaguely encouraging language that provides no schedule info.

Or maybe they haven't gotten your mail because Pipex is screwed up
going as well as coming.

2950-106 not listed.

As of 8:42 pm US Eastern on 1/15, which I understand to be 01:38 GMT
16/1 UK style, things are not "fine and up to date" in my game, and
you still have not explicitly answered my question. Shall I infer that
106 has been run and my turn will show up momentarily, or that you
somehow neglected 106 in preparing your reply?

Well, 2950-106 has finally run, and reached me about 9:15 pm EST. That
either means the Welshmen were working into the dead of night their
time or the email service was slow.

Now for a much more serious question. Is "Oldridge" Clint's real name?
Sounds suspiciously hobbit-like to me. Proudfoot, Bracegirdle,
Oldridge. Makes you wonder.

Late nights - always was a bit of a night owl - but I think I may have to
ask for "unsocial hours" extra pay... :slight_smile:

Yeh well I can but hope.
