OK, well, I ended up not being able to make it to my job orientation this morning after I got sent to three different administrative offices to pick up an enrollment verification from my college beforehand and then the buses didn't run on time to the company office (the orientation started *precisely* at 10, with no late arrivals allowed- so I couldn't even be running 5 minutes late). I reschedules for Monday of next week- which means I have time to play my turns NOW and send them out to you guys...
The Ministry of Truth declares that absolutely nothing whatsoever is going on with the Ministries of Peace or Plenty. Move along citizen- nothing to see here...
The religious Elohim, meanwhile, don't trust the MiniTru, and pray to the Divine for understanding of what is really going on in the world and deliverance from what is to come...

Looks like I haven't actually received the next EitB39 turn yet ("AD 67") though I sent it on late Monday night, so despite my unavailability last night, I am actually *NOT* to blame for the current delay. Who has the save right now?
It sounds from Dreylin's last response like he doesn't have it, so it's either Q or Kragroth. Guys, you *cannot* and *should not* blame me for delays if you are responsible for creating them yourselves. I have managed an increasingly regular turnaround over the last week (better than a save every-other day, even with other people not getting me the save on-time), and you can't state I need a partner if it is you who are not getting the save around in the first place... Nor is it a "partner" if you don't ever send me the save and just send it to Old Lion- that is an outright replacement, and one that is unjustified...

Well you sent it to me after my play window Monday night - I think you mentioned this was a delayed receipt from Kragroth - so I didn't play until Tuesday night. I know that Q played the turn after me, but that was probably after Kragroth's window, so he hasn't played it yet.
However, when we set up the play windows it was Kragroth who should receive the save overnight and have it sit in his inbox, not you. The save should not be in your inbox waiting, as Kragroth was (at the time) first in the window order.
By my reckoning, the official play window are now roughly (US Central for convenience):
Kragroth: 7-9pm
Northstar: 5-8pm
Dreylin: 8-11pm
Q: Flexible / overnight
The problem is that your play window moved earlier and now has a minimal overlap with Kragroth's window so it is difficult for him to guarantee getting the save to you before the end of your window. (For clarity, this is not assigning you blame for something that was a life change effect, merely a statement identifying the problem) Since there is also minimal overlap on my and Kragroth's windows, myself and Q would both have to play right at the start of our windows in order to get it back in time for him to play.
Unfortunately, based on this we are looking at 48hr turns as standard, with a hope for 24hrs if the stars align or flexibility is found in play windows.
It is a delay if (and only if) a player has the save in his inbox and fails to a) play within his next play window and b) play outside his own window before the following player's next window ends.
(I just edited several instances of the word "play" out of that sentence and it's still heavy, ugh!)

I saw the message from Kragroth in the other thread; hope all is OK and it's just machine damage & paperwork headaches!
I'm out from about lunchtime tomorrow until probably Saturday morning (outside chance of Friday evening) traveling & recovering from said travel, so let this one slide for a day or so until things settle for you.

I'm alright, nothing serious on me; very lucky. I don't have this save and I don't know who does.

Q sent me the save for t67, but then we had a conversation and I thought he said he'd caught the miss-send and passed it to you. I have dug it out of my trash folder and forwarded.

Oh sorry, I thought that was you saying you'd forwarded it, so I didn't bother.

Yes, I was at a funeral today (followed immediately by another obligation- didn't get back until a little while ago), and tomorrow's PT was cancelled- so you sending it to me after my normal play window (at 9:47) wasn't a problem tonight.
I'll have the turn up shortly.

Turn sent!
I hope we can get it around a little faster now! Are things settled down after your car accident Kragroth? I hope all is well and peaceful!
