Other than that really long presentation post, and the fictional short stories for Deva's contest, I haven't even had a turn, yet.

I apologize for the lengthy absence... we've been working on my paper in the lab, and it's been a rather frantic and extensive procedure. We're almost at the end now - well, right now the paper is in my boss's hands - which means that I should have time for the rest of turn processing soon enough. In any case, I'm sorry that I haven't been around for so long and I couldn't blame any who decided they didn't want to wait for the turn to come out.

I particularly wish to apologize to the players, like the Numen, who just started and therefore haven't had the chance to even see their first turn come out in time... and to those who really wished to know what's going on and were hurt by the lack of updates :(

[brown nosing]Assuming your paper is up to the quality of Pantheon, I'm okay if you want to wait for your boss to finish it and begin heaping benefits upon you for it's awesomeness. That way you'll be in a great mood when it comes time to process turns... and you know... you'll give us extra stuff.[/brown nosing]

(Ignore any unintended implication that your paper is in any way a work of fiction like this game...)

Enough talk of a future game, AllFather, if it is "some when in the future."

Well ya know ... Xar's boss has probably given him back the paper ... asked for changes ... more experiments ... might be a few weeks to even get to some cryptic hints! :P :twisted:

He already gave two hints...

1) He's not summarily ending the game.

2) We may blow up the world soon, or through inaction allow the world to be blowd up. (We seem to be failures as robots.)

There's one point I'd like to address... I'm continuing to process and hopefully we'll send the paper by next week at the most, so there's light at the end of the tunnel. However, I realize that with the length of time since turn submission, there may be players who either lost interest, or who simply have vanished off the Watch. Any such players who are likely not to continue playing or have already decided to drop out could please inform me? Because if that's what you have decided, I'd rather know now and skip processing the turn rather than process it and then learn you decided not to continue.

In all fairness I'm not trying to push anyone out, I'm just asking so that I don't feel I've done extra work for nothing ;)

Really? I thought she'd dropped out.

Let me try it another way then... can I have a head count as to who is still around? I haven't seen several players since I returned to the boards, and I'm wondering if they're still around (Mox, Balon, etc...)...

here. Not that I have results to worry about.

Koel just checked in recently (so he told me yesterday), is up to speed, and ready to go. I mention it because he pops in infrequently, though he always checks his email.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
