Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
I was wondering where your legion went.
Just Sepiche's turn outstanding for #8 (unless I missed it).

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Do I/we need to upgrade versions? I've been playing with 1.04a this whole time. My understanding is that it is compatible at least with 1.05a. I had some trouble running Zarathud's turn last night, but the last version he sent to me worked, so I'm not sure whether an update is necessary or not. What version are you all playing with?
As for the update:

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Didn't check the forum first, so I completed and sent my turn on the prior version. I'll upgrade to 1.05 tomorrow. If need be, I can re-submit on Friday.
I'll be out of town starting Sunday at a weeklong tax conference but I should have wireless access at the hotel for the office laptop.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Looks like the upgrade to 1.05 is go, so everyone should submit their turn under version 1.05 (or resubmit if their turn was not 1.05). I have everyone's turn but Sepiche's at this point, but I think Zarathud's isn't 1.05.
Looks like stuff is going down, too. Oh, and NickAragua smells bad and his mother dresses him funny.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Hey guys,
I just wanted to give fair warning... I'm headed into the hospital on the 1st for probably about a week, so I won't be able to put in my turn during that time. If you guys just want to put me on AI and keep going I totally understand.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
I don't mind waiting a week or so; I think that's preferable to putting someone on AI (though maybe Mortis could step in if it came to that). If it seems like it's going to be significantly longer than that just let us know. Though if people want to AI/Mortis Sepiche that would be fine with me too.
I hope that everything turns out well with your hospital visit; we'll be thinking of you. Also, if you'd rather not keep going with the game given what you're going through and want to be replaced just let us know - whatever works for you.
As for this turn I believe that I'm just short Sepiche's turn.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Best wishes for your hospital visit to go well, Sepiche. I'm ok with either decision on continuing the game, as I'll savor denying Zod access to the City of Dis every minute of real life. I suspect this game is going to end poorly for me, but I have a few more reckless gambits to pull before you can stick the fork into this Avatar.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Sorry for taking so long with my turns this week. Spent the week in Orlando at a tax conference, with wireless internet access during the day competing with meetings and office business matters.
I do not advise trying to speak with a head partner to handle a matter while at the Lego Imagination Center at DisneyWorld during your only afternoon off. My lack of enthusiasm must have been quite disturbing.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
It's getting a little confusing what with all of the sudden SI action around here, but unless I've missed something I believe I just need Toxo and Sepiche's turn to process. Sepiche is going into the hospital though in a couple days, though, so the hiatus will start soon. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Sepiche.

Hey guys, just wanted to let everyone know I'm home now and on the mend. I'm still a little loopy from meds, so I probably won't be ready to start putting in turns until next week, but I'll be ready to start up again soon.
