POC / ODC IV UPDATE 23 April

Postby Malarky » 23 Apr 2022, 09:23

Let's try again.

Having sent out information for gamestarts to 4 reserves, only 2 of those reserves responded. So I've sent gamestarts out to other reserves.

I'm going to see what has happened by 26 April. If neither game has started by then, I will put myself into the games to get them going.

Dear Malarky,

A gentle suggestion: I suspect many of us would prefer that you keep to the same or just a few Subject Lines when sending messages within the Forum. Many of us track the more interesting topics (such as those related to the message below) but the forum system only sends alerts when the updates are added to very specific Subject Lines. Some players may be missing important messages, reminders, and information if each message begins using a new Subject Line.

Just a thought.

And thank you for your efforts. My own game has been pending since 3 April as we are all still waiting for game confirmations. Your patience has been commendable!

Latanst!

Yes, I suppose so, Strategus. As a bonus, once we start I will give you seven guesses to correctly identify the nation I command!

Only if you assume that the information Latanst provided was entirely accurate. For all we know he may be that utter swine of an Italy trying to draw attention from himself.

Maybe after this round you should drop the number of boards. Most of the people in my game either don't message or send one message every couple seasons.

Fwiw, I find the separate threads clear as each thread has a clear timing focus rather than having to wade through a single longer thread to find the latest tournament updates. Each to their own I guess :D but I definitely echo the sentiment about the ongoing efforts to keep the show on the road... huge thanks to Malarky for that and hopefully R2 can flow more easily once all R1 games are up and running.

Hi Malarky,

I sent you a PM about my game. Just posting here since I hadn’t heard from you yet and it has been several days.

Thanks,
