Harvey,
I've never resigned from a game in my life. I've also never abandoned
a game, although I've missed a deadline or two.

I will vote for a DIAS, but I will not participate in a "mass
resignation" just to prove a point to a GM. I may never play another
game of Charles', but if he really doesn't have time for the game,
*he* should resign as GM or call the game a DIAS.

My two cents...

Everyone -

My two cents.

I have never resigned from a game, and have never gone absent.

As some of you know, a week or two ago I wrote Charles to say that I was on
the verge of resigning from this game.  That apparently prompted him to find
a replacement for Sweden.

I am absolutely puzzled (and pissed) by Charles' newest message.  This is a
Winter Adjustment Phase.  What the heck is there to adjudicate?

Please, talk to me about the merits of DIAS versus mass resignation from the
game.

Regards to all from an angry Harvey

I would officially vote Yes for a DIAS, even though it deprives Nigs of
his shot at the crown of the HRE.  Sometimes we have to make sacrifices for
the greater good.

I agree with the general sentiment. It appears Charles is struggling with
time a little bit. I formally propose and vote yes for a DIAS. This way he
can be free of the adjudication responsibility and we can find other games.

I do get confused by some of Charles' more enigmatic messages, and
austria's leaving the game seemed to be because he wasn't playing as Charles
wanted him too, in a communicative manner. I find non-communication
unsocial, but not a reason for leaving a game by itself.

I would like to get a move on though



Nigs

To all,



Harvey and I have already discussed our own dissatisfaction with the
delays in this game.  How does everyone else feel about it?

Hi Harvey,



What do you think?  This is starting to turn into a joke.

Hi guys,



I shall not be adjucating right now. I hope that I shall be able to do so
before too long.



Charles
