23 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Hi everyone, Sorry to do this, but I'm going to need a short pause starting tomorrow for a couple of days. UK time, I'm away monday evening to thursday morning. Please can everyone put up pause flags and I'll do same just before I go. Or ghug, can you help? The good news is, I have no other trips planned. So this should be the one and only pause that I'll need
23 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Moderator: (ghug): Go ahead and put your votes up. I'll pause it tomorrow if y'all haven't yet.
24 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Thank you everyone. It will only be a short pause - 72 hours max
24 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Enjoy your trip. I'm rather looking forward to the short break myself!
24 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Enjoy!
27 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Ok, guys... I'm back. I've voted to unpause. Thanks again
28 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Sorry for the delay guys, some things have come up so i'll have to drag my feet a little longer on my unpause.
28 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Hate to do this but real life's stepped in and i'm going to have to step away from the game for the foreseeable future. Hopefully will be back but i've requested a substitute to take my place for the next few weeks at least. He should be joining the game today or tomorrow morning. I'm going to allow him to unpause in order to give him the full 16 hours to settle in. Hope I'll make it back in a reasonable time. Would be great not to be killed before then. Good luck everybody, you've been a fun group!
29 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Hello, French sub here. Just wanted to say hello and hope to hear from you before I have to enter moves. I sure need to catch up with what's going on in the game.
29 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Moderator: (ghug): I can add time to the phase when it unpauses if you want more time for diplomacy.
29 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Thanks Ghug, hopefully someone will write me back...
29 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: I'm So Ronery So ronery So ronery and sadry arone There's no one Just me onry Sitting on my rittle throne I work rearry hard and make up great prans But nobody ristens, no one understands Seems like no one takes me serirousry And so I'm ronery A rittle ronery Poor rittle me
29 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: An extension to the diplomacy time when a new player is added is probably a good idea :). Welcome to the game
29 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Welcome France!
29 Aug 15 UTC	Spring, 1903: Moderator: (ghug): I've unpaused the game and reset the phase time. Have fun!
01 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Moderator: (ghug): Hey all, you each have three days to join your other game. If you didn't get my email, or are having some other issue, please let me know.
01 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Turkey :(
01 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Turkey: it looks like I'll be following you out of this game very quickly. France, Italy, Russia set to be big 3
01 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1903: Haha amen
08 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1904: GG Turkey
08 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1904: GG Turkey
11 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1904: So, I know it's just him clicking his last time out of this game, but we can't move on until Turkey kills his last army, and I'm a little offput by the holdup.
20 Sep 15 UTC	Spring, 1906: I guess you three are guys I eliminated in round one ;)
23 Sep 15 UTC	Autumn, 1906: Sorry for the delay.
01 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1907: Whoa, what happened?
01 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1907: The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently in an emergency closed door session, please check back in a few hours for updates.
02 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1907: Moderator: (ghug): What he said.
08 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1908: Good game Austria.
08 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1908: A fine game, Austria. One of the best of us.
09 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1908: Haha thanks Italy.
13 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1909: Haha! Nicely done, you two. For a moment there I thought you might give me a window :p
13 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1909: I'll be readying up as soon as get the chance so we can wrap it up quickly if you like. Cheers all for a great game. Especially France's sub for stepping in and putting in a damned fine showing. If someone could tell me who it was after we're done I'd be grateful :)
13 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1909: Guaaaaaack!
13 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1909: Well, I'm guessing Brownie-Points for being a general pain in the ass isn't enough to make you guys include me in the Draw? ;)
13 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1909: Nice try for sure.
13 Oct 15 UTC	Spring, 1910: Guuuuuuuack!
14 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1910: All in favour of keeping the game going for 2 more years so I can satisfy my urge to take Syria, say aye :)
14 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1910: cricket sounds
14 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1910: If you had kept me around I'd be game, but now I'm pouting ;) Congrats guys
14 Oct 15 UTC	Autumn, 1910: So Russia's in favour, the crickets are in favour. I have to say this is a more positive response than I was expecting. :)
14 Oct 15 UTC	Good game all.
14 Oct 15 UTC	GG, guys. Here's to hoping the other games screw up considerably.
14 Oct 15 UTC	Octavious, huh? You're lucky i had to miss some time! ;)
14 Oct 15 UTC	Very lucky indeed. If you'd stayed I'd have inevitably stabbed you for the solo and my carefully cultivated tournament reputation would be in ruins :p
14 Oct 15 UTC	Great game, everyone. Exceptionally good fun. Who was alternate France?
14 Oct 15 UTC	He prefers to stay anonymous until the tournament is over.
14 Oct 15 UTC	Oh... Him again? Reminds me of the original Star Wars trilogy. Empire was a damned good film
15 Oct 15 UTC	I'll always remember your mongoose call lessons fondly.
15 Oct 15 UTC	I am so confused...
15 Oct 15 UTC	It matters not, TP. At the end of the day only one thing really counts... We won 16d!
