Attention Opponents of Medic21

[Sgt Jasper]

If you find yourself wondering "is it my turn, or his", don't ever hesitate to send a email to your opponent asking who turn is it. It normally doesn't take too long to start noticing a trend in the amount of time it takes your opponent to send back a turn. If he is "over due" send an friendly email. You may even surprise yourself in finding out that you actually own the turn!

Excellent advice and i have had to do this many times, as part of the friendly message i always make it clear that i am not chasing my opponent for a move at a time they might be busy with RL, i am just trying to find out who goes next! :)

Not to mention that the internet basically works by magic, and magic is notoriously unreliable, so once in a great while a turn goes into a cybernetic blackhole. I figure if an unusual lag occurs without prior warning, a polite no-worry-no-hurry inquiry is in order.
