I did PM you about this but perhaps you haven't seen it.

I thought I had made it clear that I was looking to host a short, weekend game, and I've also made it clear that time limits would be variable depending on the flow of the game. If I hadn't made that clear and you didn't know what you were signing up for, I am sorry.

Before I replaced you, I was watching you because I was desperate for you to participate. I had watched out for you all day and had even checked your post history to see when you'd be likely to be online. You were online, viewed the threads several times, but did not post. After several hours of that and having publicly mentioned I was considering replacements, I made the call.

If you didn't have time or were busy, that's cool. Mafia doesn't run anyone's life. But if someone is absent for a prolonged period it doesn't fit into quick intense experience I am going for either. In a longer game with more players I'd have just let it slide but in a short, small game like this, we can't really afford absences or long delays. I have a responsibility to all of the other players who have committed their time and energy - I don't want it to be ruined for them.

I apologised for this in the PM I sent you but I'm more than happy to do this again. I'm sorry that the experience didn't match your expectations and that it's sucked for you. I hope there are no hard feelings.
