Well, I truly hoped it would not come to this, but it seems likely we'll have to track the game's progress here.

Yeah, I was going to give it the rest of today, but I'll email my guys

I actually don't really like games.

Just so.

Also, asked Brant to correct spelling up top.

Moves like this are always soooo complicated.

Is this the start of the end of the beginning of the death of Grogheads?

Its possible, although the situation is far from clear at present.

Indeed, Jason. A more amicable outcome would have been preferred, but at least we now have some continuity.

Seems that the site is back up and running... what did I miss out on that would lead to there being any thought of there being a beginning to an end here?

Not that at all, really.

Just that Doug and I had always intended to move the games once these ended, but we honestly didn't know when the GH site would be back up.  I'm working fatigue as I type this...

Glad you made it.

True, but for me at least the site seems to have lost some of the dynamism that it used to have...I know people need to find their feet and all, but I don't know...there just seems to be little going on and all seems a bit flat!

The two sites share a lot of the same members, former or current, and by sheer mathematics the time spent typing or reading on one site means less time on the other site. So splitting attention, or migrating all attention here, causes GH to naturally have less content from that member by proportion.

I don't want to impose, so I'll mostly stick with GH (probably, assuming their host migration teething works out), aside from special projects like this.

Let's try and keep the conversation focused on the ongoing Kriegsspiel games in these threads, please.

As I must not let Doug get too far out ahead of me, I will be running the clock either tonight or tomorrow!

I can say without fear of correction that that was the craziest run of fatigue calculation I have ever done.

MANY dispatches out.

And, remember, dawn is only four scant hours away.
