I don't know what you guys are talking about...I could've sworn I've seen
Legate on msn quite frequently recently. Of course he's not online now...I'm sure he's gone to bed already. But he visited the Downs only just yesterday. Have you tried PMing
Legate,
Shasta? He may have simply not checked this thread.
I am quite eager to see this game started as it's been a couple weeks since the last one ended. But I'm completely okay with waiting another day if you want to give
Legate one last chance to RSVP. It's your game, so I'm good with whenever you decide to start.
