...so step inside & make yourselves comfortable while I put the kettle on, help yourselves to a fresh slice of cake while you're at it. That table by the windows free, the one overlooking the sunny meadow, you may catch a glimpse of some bunnie rabbits frolicking playfully if your lucky.

So Momma Obama's finally got something right...so how's that grab you, all my young, liberal friends?
In the gameID=136203, autumn 1911. How that my Spanish fleet did not cancel Portugals support for MAO - Spa and my Mars army bounced with the guy? After 100 games I am still not sure, shame. :)
Suppose you could steal the pot of gold that is sitting at the end of the rainbow without anyone noticing. Would you take it? Would you use it to finance abortion clinics? Also, why do y'all lack any sense of morality?
A number of times I've been in a game, usually 1-2 day gunboat, and there are certain players who never click ready. For example they are always the only player to let full clock run. or they have a dislodge where the only option is disband but still use whole time. What's the piece I'm missing? Are there a number of players who just feel they should use the whole time just because its there?
Sure but every turn? What if you miss a move because you waited 48 hrs for your disband then you have lots of work and can't make it on the next two days?
There is a nice consistency to the game schedule versus real life if you let the clock run out. When life gets busy it's nice to know you still have time to get things done before needing to rush to a computer/ wifi connection to check in.
Some people like to look at the board and think on it for a while before entering orders. I know I only really enter my final orders in the last 12 hours of the phase. So it could be just to give themselves time to think it over, or planning ahead, as CF said, if they know that they'll be busy for a stretch of time.
for example, lets say that I am in a game with 2 day phases, and I am going to be busy for the next 3 days. If I click ready, then it is possible that the next turn will expire in 2 days. But if I let it sit, I know for sure that the next turn wont expire for 4 days.
There are a endless reasons why someone would need an entire phase, but the theme of it is, it's very possible that they only can check the game one time a day, so they need the time the phase goes through to remain consistent. Otherwise, if everyone readied up they may not be able to get to the phase in time or have as much time to review it as they'd like.
If I sign up for a 2 day / phase game, I don't get mad when people take the full amount of time. They're perfectly entitled to that. If it's a build or retreat, it gets annoying, but no big.
You should assume that each turn will take the full time alloted, and if that is too frustrating, play only shorter phases. Don't waste energy on whether that guy is an ass or has a real reason. I often only have time late at night and not every night, so sometimes in a 36 hour game I need to wait a part of a day so that the next phase will take me through the following evening... better than a high risk of NMR, I think...
just watch a Lil Dicky music video and he will show you how...........nooooooooot. That guy is such a disgrace. Just one of the many people setting a good example on how to live :(
Why did Jesus perform miracles? Wouldn't he be a much more palpable and credible figure if he *hadn't* performed miracles and just did *good deeds*? Another one: *why* doesn't the bible a) tell what we know to be true about the Universe or b) remain silent on it instead of c) say things that are simply contradictory to it?
