Who is still missing?

We're good. And Game Two is paused. You guys can unpause whenever you want, it will be force unpaused when Game One enters 1902.

Why wasn't game 1 paused? I was waiting for the pause so I knew the players had been sorted out. Since I was Austria in both games I knew there would be shuffling. I know I never hit unpause for game 1Q so what happened? Did we change the norm by choosing to NOT pause the games? All the games so far have been paused once the countries have been sorted out. Why not this time? Just asking. I'll play on, but think we should have been told there was a change from the norm. Also, I will post the countries we've played in the past 2 rounds. I still haven't played 1 country (counting these two current rounds) and some of us haven't played 1 country out of the first two rounds. Just curious.

I am NOT complaining, but it seems that we all aren’t being given the opportunity to showcase our skills at all the countries while some of us get to showcase a certain country over and over. Maybe games 3 and 4 can fix this. Again, I am not complaining. I like Austria and hate Russia so my 3 Austria’s so far are OK with me. But, I would like an answer to my earlier post

Somehow I left out a game for ulytau so he may have played A, I or R. He would have to correct. I am not going through the games again.

I played Austria in the very first game. Very painful 4-way at 17 SCs.

Were the first games really paused in the previous stages? I don't remember them being shuffled. Geo explicitly wrote that the phase should be set for 36 hours for the current one, all those shuffled were originally set to 10 days.

I may have misread when I joined 1Q, but I thought it was for 10 days as well. If not, my mistake. Again seeing 2 Austrias and have played Austria twice already I thought both games would be reshuffled. At this point, it is what it is and we play on.

Travelling atm. We'll fix it but i'll quickly clarify how the shuffling worked.
The purpose was just to make sure no one played the same country twice in one round. So game one was always full random, and then the rest were also random sans no repeats. I'll have to work out the best way to reboot when I'm indoors. I did say above that only game two would need shuffling.

Unless there is stron opposition, i'd rather not continue with the nmr in play. The confusion was from my end, but again, the decision should be up to you players.

I can't blame you since I juxtaposed the period and pre-game joining lengths for the second game in my mind and Geo had to correct them after that.

Since The Czech feels OK with going on, I don't think we should start again.

I hit cancel in 1Q, but will play on. Like I said I wasn't complaining. Just wanted clarification. Got it. Thanks Geo. I will await the others' decisions on whether or not we continue with 1Q.

i think it should be restarted.

ulytau. I wasn't whining or complaining, but a restart would be fair.

In that case, I agree. I don't think you were complaining though, you wouldn't be OK with going on if you did.

My orders are in. Once 03 rolls around I always take down cancels and move on. Like I said, it is what it is.

Contestants, please check your email.

Joined the new ones.

Hopefully I may avoid the 2-week pause that I've mentioned. But I'll let you know soon.

I've joined the new games.

Im in. JP ill sit for you if you need me to.

:-P

We're missing only one.

I was player 6 in both games. JP if you need a pause, I'll pause. Would rather have a good game than not.

It's uclabb that's missing.
