Cal isn't here tonight.

 

He's currently lying in a tomb in the Egyptian Valley of Kings, waiting for a team for plucky, yet naive archeologists to dig him up and unleash untold horrors on the world.

Still waiting to hear back from Ted to see if I can take over this playtest... no word yet.

Is the 50 state 60s play test just too much work for one person or has Cal just been too busy?

He got a life and a job, I suppose. He said things should normalize in June at the beginning of May.

Both, for sure.  It's a LOT of work, and Cal is very busy.

I've spoken to Cal (a week or two ago) and he was receptive to @Arkansas Progressive taking over, but hoped it wouldn't be necessary.  That said, he knows his schedule has been crazy with new job, etc.  If we don't hear otherwise from Cal by June 1, I'm happy to have Arkansas lead.

If @Arkansas Progressivewants to lead, you are more than welcome to take control. I apologize for dipping out — life has grown very hectic very fast, as it does 😛 Otherwise I’ll try to be more active soon but things have been more time consuming than I anticipated.

No need to apologize. You have a lot of very important things going on right now!

While we wait for people to do their tracks, ideology shifting, state moving, political conversions, and tying proteges to Kingmakers can now be announced.
