XDAP Final… eh, i mean, Semifinal - Allweneedishank vs. TeamBoldDutch

@Boldfresh:

if he does have a problem with the buy changing, remind him the buy in the first map was 13 inf.  so there cannot be any issue with the buy in this case, but let’s make sure we are 100% on the same page going forward.

A couple of things.

1. I don’t have any problems with anything you have done on your Russian turn.

• my concern came from you being very specific with what can and cannot be done in this game (see previous 1000 pages), but then making all sorts of edits to your non-combats (something we discussed would be allowed) and your purchases (something we did not discuss would be allowed). For the record, I do realize that since no dice were rolled, your purchases are effectively a non-combat move, so again, I am fine with it.
• my question of why you can’t figure out your “final” move before posting is still valid, as no one else seems to have this issue…
• again, the bigger problem is if I save your first file, then make my plans based on that only to find there is a later edition (or editions), then it sets us back in time even further - something you seem concerned about Bold. Which brings me to point 2:

2. I told you from the onset of this game that the only time I have to play is in the evenings. I am up at 5:30am and not home until 5pm. I have no time at work to check my personal e-mail, pms, postings, etc. (except, ironically right now). Add to that family obligations (like feeding my kid) and it puts us at 8 or 9pm. Please stop making comments about when my posts will come. You know I am a fast player and despite having a few other games on the go, this one is my priority and I will get it out as soon as I possibly can.

I have yet to look at R3, but will do so when I get home (which will be very soon). I will plan my turn, send it to my partner for a look over, then post. If I know roughly the time that will be I will PM you.

Sorry if this sounds/feels like a rant, it’s not meant to (it is 30 degrees Celsius and smells like sweaty teenagers in my classroom right now - time to go home!!).

@Boldfresh:

@Boldfresh:

no worries hank!  only reason i ever asked for when you thought you might post was in order to plan to be online for you.  if that will always be approximately 8-10pm that is perfect - very easy for me to check in often during that 2 hrs.

is there also a window in which allweneed typically posts or should i keep asking him when he thinks he will post so i can be online for him?

I think it varies - he has a young kid at home too. I don’t think you need to ask him every time - just ask him to PM you when he knows when he will have time to post.

You know Bold, sometimes you remind me of a crazy psycho ex-GF I have. Your clingy rating is through the roof.  :-P

And no, that’s not a comparison that you want. She wasn’t serial killer crazy, but let’s just say I regretted her having a key to my place for a bit.

By the way Japan 3 coming soon. I don’t need any ool or scramble orders, so I’m just going to go ahead with it.

This is nothing guys…

You should hear the voicemails I get from Bold.

@Boldfresh:

ummmm problem in z42.  you took a sub as casualty then did 4 more battles, then edited your sub back in and changed to take damage on battleship.  do you not think that you would need to request this edit which was done after subsequent combat dice were rolled?

Yep, sorry about that. I should have asked. The edit had nothing to do with the other battles, just a simple mistake by me.
