Now I've got the game moving again, I apologise for the lengthy
hiatus, which was longer than I'd intended.  

I normally catch up with the PBM game at weekends (because the
individual turns take longer to edit up and write), and post to the
message board game during the week.  Unfortunately I've had a run of
several consecutive weekends when I've been away, and the game has
suffered as a result.  (One of those weekends was to attend the
wedding of one of the players, Michael Orton)

Once the Phoenyx web forums are up and running I may abandon the 'turn
and response' format I've been using in favour of the approach I use
in message board games; this will reduce the time needed to write
posts, and should mean I can post more often.  Watch this space!
