I am sorry for having to make this request, but is it at all possible to "take time off"? I am rather ill at the moment and won't be able to sit at my computer typing diplomatic letters- I am confined to bed and to the bathroom. Sure I can type this message, but only from my smartphone which isn't suited for anything other than three or four lines.
I know ee don't normally pause the game for one player, but I am hoping we can make an exception because diplomacy will be very important, and there are some details I've not shared with the faction yet.
I understand if this isn't possible, but I hope you'll agree to have a bit of patience while I kick the bugs outta my system. If its any consolation, my grandmother caught the same bug and is now, two days later, she's doing a lot better
