I was going to complain that we have not resolved imp 1 yet (especially with no battles) but I noticed it is your birthday. So, in honor of your B-Day, I give you no complaints!

Battles! Gad Zooks,.. What nations are involved?
As usual good luck to all players!
I plan on doing some web page updates today if I can squeeze them in, the info would be fun to post up there if new nations are at war? or even old ones.

now that it is no longer Walter's birthday I can make my complaint. First let me say I appreciate and enjoy all the work that has gone into the game thus far. My only concern and biggest drawback for me is the amount of time it is taking to resolve the turns. It seems as though we are constantly getting bogged down and allowing for unnecessary delays. I, for one, would like to see the pace picked up a bit. For example, turn 2 orders were due on July 9th. Imp 1 looks went out July 13 (4 days later). It is now July 23 and we are still waiting on battles. I understand that we are all busy and stuff but we did all make a commitment to play the game. I guess I am asking if as a group we can all make an effort to help speed up the pace a bit. Thanks for listening to me whine, perhaps I am the only one who feels this way...

I hate to agree with him,.. but I admit this game is having a hard time holding my attention and enthusiasm.
I have in the past done things very different than you do now and only offer this as a suggestion. As Todd does I sure like you reffing and you do a d**n good job.
Here is a thought to move things along.
Other parts of the map, no where near the Centauri/Pirate nonesense battle can be resolved behind the scenes with effecting anything. So for example,.. like Fed could be notified of our fleet intercepting him at the jump gate and what does he wish to do,.. back and forth convo occurs,.. ok roll disengagement etc. All this can be done while waiting for a impulse 1 waste of time battle with a DN fleet against some frigates.
Shalifi you seem to have adopted a strickly linear policy with the game, maybe you have your reasons for that but if you adopted a more fluid one the game would be faster.
Battle planning for impulse 2 could be WELL under way right now by many players not anywheres near the Centauri Pirate thing. I am not suggesting announcing advance stuff to say the Centauri or Narn players but crap on the other side of the map can be under way.
It just seems like a lot can be done elsewhere instead of grind the game to a halt every time something has to be done.
Just my 2 cents, and how I kept the game moving along quickly back in the day.
No problem if you say " NO shut up " LOL

Kumar battle has been scheduled for tonight, I hope as much people show up I've to my brother and he's apparently "too busy" to either schedule or fly the battle, so I'm gonna flight, the schedule for that is tentatively friday night 9PM EST (At the time we usually gather) but I still haven't reached the involved players, I will confirm as soon as I got information and I'm working on getting these battles done ASAP

Warp and I are on ts, awaiting the start of the first battle, should extra pilots be needed. Funny part is, there is only Warp and I on, not the proper people.
