Herodotus had a really good idea a while back ago. He decided to begin a game as the English and play only until the King died. He would then send the game to another person, who would repeat the process.
This idea is languishing. That is the plain truth. Muneyoshi, while finished with the game, has yet to post his reign. I am do not know if he tried to e-mail the game to Barocca but I am certain I know what would happen if he did. As of yesterday Barocca's e-mail was filled to capacity; it could not accept any new e-mail. That makes things a little complicated. Not only are the current and future kings unable to advance the game, they are being silent with respect to what impedes them. The idea will die if the throne remains vacant for very much longer. I would be very disappointed as it would be akin to reading a really good book with no ending. So, here is what I propose:
Muneyoshi: If you indicate here that you are ready, willing, and able to transmit the game then we will wait 24 hours to allow Barocca to respond and indicate that his e-mail account can accept the message. If he does not respond, e-mail the game to the next person on the list. (Keepah@hotmail.com)
Dr. Appleton: If Muneyoshi responds, then there is really nothing for you to do. If Muneyoshi does NOT respond within 24 hours, assume that the above instructions that were given to him apply to you.
Barocca: All you have to do is respond and indicate that your e-mail account has the space to accept the game and, based upon the above, SOMEONE will e-mail it to you.
I am not in the habit of issueing decrees. Be advised that what I have written is a proposition. If someone involved in the situation has a problem, please state it. If no one has a problem with this, then I guess this is the course of action.
If NONE of the three people singled out respond, then I would assume that the idea is dead.
