Alright, looks like the debacle over Army of Achilles and BENJIKAT IS DEAD is causing a whole bunch of trouble.
I'm working on getting their replacements into the records, and working with their former teammates to find some solutions. I hope to have the next few games ready in the next day or two. Please bear with me, I wasn't expecting to have to replace so many people out of the blue at the beginning of the tournament.

I'm in the same position. Achilles has left the site
Tammy Delee will partner me from now on - if that's ok with you Prime. Our home settings will also change from Feudal, adjacent no spoils, no fog to Feudal, chained, no spoils, no fog
Well, that was fast. I got all of the replacements sorted out. So, I've made the new games, but am going out to dinner with my wife and then I'll send the games to the home teams when I get home. This should help catch us up I think.
Alright, I just checked, and we have just 2 or 3 players still looking to get into games. One team had a small game number mix up and it should be fixed now, and another player returns from Jamaica tonight, so I'm thinking games will go to away teams tomorrow afternoon or evening.
Due to both the holiday season, and the fact that my wife may very well be going into active labor as I am typing this, I am going to put this tournament on vacation until January 10, 2009. I'm doing this because I don't want to leave participants wondering where we stand and why games are not being sent out. I have looked at my schedule and calendar and believe I will be able to get us moving again at the specified date.
I'm a little late in returning to this one after stating I would be back on January 10th, but I think we are good to go now. I have done a full standings update for all of the completed games so far (all of them are finished) so it looks like we are about 1/3 of the way through the regular season portion of the tournament.
I am going to send out a PM to all participants asking if anyone wants out, and if there are any non-premium players now they will need to be replaced.
My plan is to have new games going out within the next few days, at the very latest this weekend.
I've sent out new games to every team, both home and away. The update to team games yesterday means that everyone can join their home and away games at the same time. Talk about saving us some time!
All of the new games are now active except for the ones that need Ryall55 and his teammate to join. Ryall55's original teammate is no longer premium and he is searching for a replacement and hopes to join the games soon.
Alrighty, just finished a standings update and loaded them into the system. We had some pretty good shakeups with lots of teams either going on winning streaks or losing streaks. Right now the World Conference teams are absolutely dominating the National Conference teams in cross-conference play however.
Standings updated, new games beginning of next week.
I had a few extra moments this morning, so the new games for the Alphabet Soup, Officer's Club, and Andyland Divisions have been sent. I'll get the rest when I get to campus and to my office and have a few moments.
I've just finished sending out the new games to the Swedish Chef, Kiddie Pool, Serious Business, Turtle Love, and General Babble Divisions. Everyone should have their new games now. I will send reminders in a couple of days if needed.
