I fell asleep again so I couldn't start the war games x.x

Day 657, 19:16 • Published in Philippines

• by Swagger McSwag

Dear Australians, Chinese, Filipinos, Italians, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Slovakians, South Africans, Thais, and other free people of the world,

I was supposed to start the games by 11:30 (2:30am in the Philippines), but when I woke up it was already past 12:40 (3:40am in the Philippines), so I figured it would be better if I didn't start the games all together.

This is the second time this has happened, so I deeply and sincerely apologize to all those inconvenienced.

We're currently in discussions for reaching a much more tenable solution to this problem, and should not affect any more wargames in the future.

Anyway, I will start the games tomorrow or the day after. This time, I will do whatever it takes to start it ON TIME.

Once again, my apologies.

-Ariel
Philippine President

Caffeine is your friend. 😛

Dycey Farley Day 657, 20:32

Sleep is the enemy!

Timeoin Day 657, 20:34

Ah, leave him alone. I know that i couldn't stay up that late 🙂

SOL in your homes! SOL in your hearts! SOL in the world!

(i know it doesnt sound as good as Peace, but we work with what we have got 😛)

Swagger McSwag Day 657, 20:40

LOL @ roman.

Timeoin, that's why I'm proposing we change our name to RAWR. 😃

kadayao Day 657, 20:41

hehe.. we're all human here.. I think.. *scratches head*

Melchizedek Smith Day 657, 20:47

Memento Mori Day 657, 20:54

What's the reason for starting the war games at that ungodly hour anyway? Is it to allow people to fight in the same battle for two days?

stewstoyc Day 657, 21:16

Haha nice job mate 😛

Cottus Arci Day 657, 21:36

@Ariel: You just won a big fat fail, my friend 😛

Or could I say, feel asleep at the helm? LOL

I could go on....

@kadayao: Most of us walk this planet as mere mortals. I know for a fact stewstoyc (GOD THAT IS HARD TO SPELL) is immortal. He cannot be killed - hence his avatar showing his true phoenix-like form.

Etheodoria Vulpine Day 657, 22:00

Great, I was so bored, I started to night-hunt one of the most deadliest creatures on Earth:
Mankind..

crvnazvezda Day 657, 23:04

Propose timing which better fits to your life-style.
Some people works a lot and hard for success of Sol-wargames.
Loads of people and nations wait for TW.
You only have to do is to push that fnckg button.

delibab Day 658, 00:48

Resignation is the only thing acceptable in such a situation. Apologize and resign Ariel

prucsok Day 658, 00:56

If it would be the first time, I wouldn't say anything, but in this situation I have to add that your attitude to this train war is outrageous.
And also my opinion is if you would be the Malaysian president I would have been proposed your impeachment yet.
You mess up the game of players in 8 country...

Ungodly Day 658, 01:18

oh ariel you're so silly!

p.s. strike 2 sir one more then its impeachment 😠

Compagno Day 658, 02:32

Impeach now!

😛

ERDWURM Day 658, 02:40

why not just start it immediately! 😉

Knights of Ni Corporation Day 658, 02:51

It's high time the admins implemented a war scheduler for busy and sleepy presidents.

Alex Mottola Day 658, 02:54

Sleep happens...

😛

Thingol Day 658, 03:08

12:40 would still have been OK. This would have left more than 11 hours for fighting, healing and working at maximum productivity for many employees in all participating countries.

Falling asleep can happen. Falling asleep twice calls for a backup solution. But making a one-eyed decision at 12:40 against starting the battle is not acceptable.

90+ Family Trust Day 658, 03:10

why does it have to happen at just a late time?
i don't understand? come someone explain 2 me :?

Musketeer Day 658, 03:22

Well of course there is always a solution for every problem

You may want to choose a Successor for yourself.

Heidar Day 658, 03:30

lol

NullSturm Day 658, 03:33

NOOO!!! WAR IS EVIL!!!

EZEX Lacroa Day 658, 06:45

how about we make it much earlier...

hmmm

12:00 MN Manila Time...

XD

Musketeer Day 658, 06:48

It MUST start at 12:00 in ere time or sometime similar. Thus people will have more chance to fight in War Game twice a battle.

Jonathan McCravy Day 658, 07:02

"so I figured it would be better if I didn't start the games all together."

That's idiotic..

Ramin_sh1 Day 658, 07:27

I could sleep...no big deal.

ooHunteroo Day 658, 07:35

I am kind of upset because this "inconvinience."
Asleep you say. Then do not accept such a position!
Thank you...
Dear God.. Where this word is headed to..

roymustang Day 658, 07:39

everybody commits mistakes..........

ooHunteroo Day 658, 07:42

"This is the second time this has happened, so I deeply and sincerely apologize to all those inconvenienced."

I am sure that not only my plans were ruined by this inconvinience.

Oceanus Day 658, 07:56

The key is to craft some complicated device that allows you to sleep and still start the war at 2:30 Phillipine time.
Like a pendulum that comes around and strikes your mouse button at exactly the right time. 😛

Nagyzee Day 658, 08:11

If it was only the second time...

It's only the second time when you didn't start the battle at all. At several other times you started it but too late. You couldn't start any of the last three battles on time for example and that's why you'd have had to wake up at 2:30 AM instead of 1:00 AM yesterday. Of course 1:00 AM is not the best either but still a lot more convenient.

Anyhow I really hope that this was the very last time that we are delayed. Because stuff like this hurts the reputation of our war games a lot. Now that attacking in the other direction is not possible any more because of the new retreat rules we need another safety measure to avoid situations like this.

ExoM7 Day 658, 12:07

oh ffs

Rico Suave Day 658, 12:33

Look, he obviously can't handle his job. Hand it over to someone who can!

ooHunteroo Day 658, 12:45

I must say that I agree... Here you can't get away with a "sorry for the inconvinience" sentence. It is quite sure that there are some who can be here to do that job.

DarthXile Day 658, 16:27

I think we should let up on him. Falling asleep is normal and he definitely seems to be sorry about it. Just be sure to not forget next time.

Relorian Day 658, 18:31

To all you people whining and calling for resignations and Impeachments... You must not be very bright. 2:30 AM is pretty late to stay up just to click ONE button. If it was something huge like a WoW raid or an NF Harbor assault, this would be alot more serious but honestly, its ONE button and can easily be made up the next day.

So the guy falls asleep, NO BIG DEAL. No need for an Impeachment or a resignation... stop being so bloody pissy about an online game.

kadayao Day 658, 21:50

@Cottus Arci: LOL! yup that is hard to spell. 😃

Seriously guys, maybe we should start at an earlier or later time... maybe set a time frame of 12:00 to 6:00 erep time, just as long as you can fight everyday.
