I am sorry to say that I have effectively dropped out of this game. I am told my teammates were able to absorb my in-game assets and carry on the fight without me, and for that I am glad. I had an attack of Real Life that sucked most of my spare time for the last few months. I guess this happens to everyone, and is a perennial problem with most PBM experiences, but I never intended to flare out on a big game like this. The most I was able to do was keep up "maintenance turns" in my other game (cluster wars), and finish up an article I had already drafted for S&D.
In more upbeat news, I am over the hump in terms of Real Life, spare time, and gaming funds. So I will look into starting up in a new game of Legends. The Harlequin web site suggests there are 2 other games still accepting new players (which I believe means those games have begun, but the moderator will accelerate a new setup to make it competitive with the starting players), and one "international" game to be started at some point. I am reviewing the relevant content modules to see what the options are for independent players or unaligned factions.
Hopefully I can restart a game-log that will do justice to the great game system...
