Given that Mark is likely not coming back in time to move on I will handle Kaut in the best manner I can figure out over the next couple of days. If anyone wishes to update a turn send it to me by the end of tomorrow since it has been a while. Expect turns back this weekend.

Guys,

I don't see the interest to keep things moving unless we cut down and revamp our players list. I am missing at least 2 turns other than Mark's. There are at least 8-10 diplomatic messages that have not been answered floating around. Seems to me like this thing has sort of run its course and unless people want to restructure or recommit that it will just sort of fall apart over the next week or two.

I'm here for it. I don't doubt that the two week break is contributing somewhat to the ebb in activity.

I'm afraid I'm out. For whatever reason it's lost its fun for me. Plus, I'm ramping up my efforts to try and find a job; as well as pre-studying for college.

I'm still in.

I'm still in. I believe my turn is in, and I've basically been waiting to see what happens with the sim.

I think what we will do is this. I am going to see who is still in, then just reshuffle the map accordingly if we are to go forward. People will be in the same general area, but arrayed to make things work with fewer players.

I'm still in, though I no longer recall if I sent in my last turn or not.

I'm gonna have to pull out, of both running SIMs unfortunately. My ability to focus is nonexistent right now, and I'm only slowing everything down.

I'm still in; I need the sims to keep me occupied while I'm not working or sleeping.

I too am out, too much work and not enough time to do much with this.

Once everyone says in or out we will look to restart this thing in some fashion. Either with the current fleets and just moving planets around or fresh. Makes little difference to me. But right now we have like 4 or 5 players crammed in up North and only 2 who are on the Southern half of the map given the list of quits so far.

If we start over again, what will the starting parameters be?

How will the map be restructured? More systems per player, or just less systems overall?

I would probably just divide up the map so we don't have to do more expansion and move people and their current holdings around to give some space between players.

I think I'm going to bow out as well. This sim just didn't grab my attention like the ST sim did.
