, and it's big horde to remove. I think I informed not clear enough, so I give another chance to idlers, and send such message:
If you won't press turn done button until end ot second turn (about 24 from now), you will be removed, no matter if you connected or not.
In other words - it doesn't matter if you connect or not. It does matter if you press turn done

I think that nobody of them received an e-mail or something...
By removing so many people
By removing so many people the game will become pointless. It seems there are only 3 active players. Maho, I propose you wait at least after the weekend for the next turn
Probably the main problem is
Probably the main problem is that the sing-up ended in the middle of jun while the game started in the middle of august...
re: by removing so many people
???
30 - 17orless = 13ormore.
Re: By removing so many people
At least there is one person on the subs bench... I would put him in immediately. Can we just set the rest to AI???
Maho has the right to remove
Maho has the right to remove players who didn't press turn done yet. But maybe for the game it's better to give them more time. I'll send an email to all players to remind them about the game. Soon some players will start to show up as 3 turns idle, then we can easily replace or remove them.
Setting them to AI temporarily may be an option as well. At least the accounts will develop a bit, so when their owner returns or a replacement is found they wont be far behind the rest. But I think setting the accounts on AI is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one.
update: I've sent the reminder, but OkBtO's email address didn't work.

Problems conecting
Actually I had some problems connecting to the game. Should I use 2.1.4 client and "connect to network game" ?
You must use 2.0.10 client
You must use 2.0.10 client to connect LT13.
kefermon was right - be
kefermon was right - be removing so many players the game is going to be pointless. Since the half of players are idlers, some of us have one or no active neighbour.
I consider if I should deal with this game any more or resign. Maybe we should do a poll about restart. What do you think about ?
no restarts/vacation
No, if you find this game as pointless, you can always resign. But let others play nice game.
I have played LTs with less than 10 players and all of them was superb.
Anyway, due to my "unexpected" vacation, I must delegate LT13, LTXIII and LTeX2.1 hack rights to Elrik, until 1 Sep I go back.
He doesn't know anything about it yet :), so I hope he has nothing against it, and he won't overuse it :).
hmm... Pass sharing is much
hmm... Pass sharing is much easier i think:)
Until Mahos return i`m managing his accounts. Player elrik-maho is already connected with Mahos countries and i don`t need this hack rights any longer.
At least you can manage
At least you can manage replacements in LT13.
toys for boys
He doesn't know anything about it yet :), so I hope he has nothing against it, and he won't overuse it :).
Like a kid in the candy store ... :P
But I have to admit that putting that in cron to pop up every 10 minutes is a bit of overkill :)
not everyone has almost 24h
not everyone has almost 24h session:P And even with that it is only 24*6 = 122 msgs a day:P
Oh, with 122 I would not say
Oh, with 122 I would not say a word... BUt it is 144 and I can't stand it! :D
hmm...:| my mistake......
hmm...:| my mistake...... but even 144 is not that bad:P
I am not an idler
Actually I am not an idler, I told two months ago that I wasn't going to play:
Wed, 07/09/2008 - 00:51 — Luca
I am able to start playing on September, 4... before I am on holiday.
So I hope that 13 or XIII will start after that date. Otherwise please remove me from players. Thanks
PS Maybe it is a good idea to start XIII now and 13 on september...
I am sorry that nobody saw this message.
By the way, it's not surprising that there are so many idlers, if you start the LT when a lot people are still on holiday...
re: I'm not an idler
Luca, if you resign from game - then there is 'unsign me' button. And it was known from beginning that game will start during vacation. So you are idler.
From other side - as was said, idlers in LT13 and LTXIII won't be punished for that, because game was kind of summer game (Marduk, remember about it when you fill 'idle' fields in your rankings).
