Any chance we could get an extension through the weekend?

Sure. The turn will now end at 11:59 PM on Sunday, August 11.

Thank you very much!

Where is the debate taking place and by what network?

Where is the debate taking place and by what network?

I hadn’t thought about this. Let say it’s in Manchester and on BBC.

[DKrol]

The turn ends later tonight, about 13 hours, and we’re still missing a good deal...

A bit confused (and late in the campaign to be asking this question). Did the first referendum on Scottish independence happen? Your description says the referendum bill passed, but doesn't specify whether the SNP's amendment was approved.

I was under the assumption it didn't happen and have been campaigning with that assumption, just want to clarify.

Thanks.

Correct, it did not happen. There was a question about this earlier in the game, and I did post a clarification in this thread that it did not happen. May's Government rejected it.

I know my answers were a bit late, will they still count?

Yes.

I'm going to have to stop playing as the WiFi at school is much worse then I thought it would be.

Sorry to see you go.

Players, we have a problem. I’m not sure the game can progress without a Labour player two weeks before the election. Anyone who is interested, please let me know ASAP so we can get you in as Labour and keep the game moving.

[DKrol]

Does anyone have an idea of how to go forward? I've reached out to a few people I thought may be interested, but either haven't heard back or received a "no".

[S019]

Maybe you could ask someone already in the game, if they want to move up to Labour

Or if nothing works, you could simulate Labour

[YPestis25]

It seems a promotion from in game might be best as S019 suggested. I would really hate to see this game end with just one turn left for the players to complete.

[DKrol]

Would any current player like to take on Labour for the final two turns?

[Devout Centrist]

I can do it

[DKrol]

I can do it

Fabulous!

Please post debate answers and a schedule for the turn as soon as you are able.

Okay, will take care of that tonight

[DKrol]

Fantastic. I will process the turn later tonight and hopefully have it posted by the morning.

[DKrol]

I can extend the turn by 24 hours if people do not think they’ll be able to get it in in time.

Hah, I wish I'd seen this earlier, I'm up at 3 doing this. No problem, I'm early.

My computer is unfortunately in the shop, so it seems unlikely I’ll have the time to finish my turn by tomorrow. Any chance I could get until midweek? Very sorry for the inconvenience.

Do you think Wednesday night would work?
