I'd rather not do that. I will go with the assumption that these guys can handle their team on their own. Their behaviour might be immensely annoying to all other teams, but its surely not their first big pitboss event.

I would like us to push for Plako as an assistant game admin and also push once again for a 36hour turn timer. Not necessarily in that order.

I would push for Plako as the only game admin since Rolo is alternately AWOL or heavy-handed when a ruling is needed.

Fair enough, that'll probably be more effective...

Just noticed, we are getting in a "fast" turn. WPC only needed 7 hours for their turn dancing

So - push for new game admin first?

Any ideas how to start that ball rolling?

I assume it will be easier to install plako as de facto / assistant game admin than full game admin, because people are egotistical bastards and all that.

@MH - sounds like an easier pill to swallow.

My other thought is that we start posting congratulations to teams that consistently play fast (see Fint's post 4 or 5 up) at CFC. That might make the TGFers stand out in sharp comparison.

First, I think you should separate the metagame administrative thread from the rant thread.

Second, I think it'd be bad to try to push through a timer reduction via getting Plako installed as admin. It places Plako in a very bad spot, for one thing - he's already associated with us, for starters.

Better to simply push for a timer reduction (to say 33 hours) during wartime only, and we can argue that strongly since a split timer is the standard in previous pitboss games, not a doubled one. Ie, I think we should empower Caledorn to do turn timer adjustments in these situations, and maybe also depending on the game state (since many logins slows the timer down).

Once we have that, and if r_rolo has continued to be absent, then we can push for Plako as an extra game admin.
Furthermore, I consider that forum views should be fluid in width
