If we are rolling it back, lets just RE-START or I promise you SOMEONE will not do it right and we will be on turn 3 or 4 for 2 weeks!!

GrudgeBringer, I'm sure we can get it right given the turn delay. As much as you want to start over, I'm sure there are some who don't. The same as when the first rollback occurred. You have to understand the position your putting K in. Attempting to make him do something that forces action on his part only places him in a more stressful situation.

I'll tell you what. My position is rather good. I'll float you some money when I have some available.

K, I myself was not calling for a roll back the second time. This is one of those situations were there is no possible way to please everyone and you must understand that. Knowing that this is one of those times means that your damned if you do and damned if you don't. Given all things being equal, my rule-of-thumb is to do the simplest of all possible actions, which in this case is to just leave it be.

One final note. This game can proceed as fast as the last person to submit a turn. If we all make it a point to submit our turns when we can, we can move this right along spite the annoying delays.

OK, the second roll-back is because the first roll-back basically caused half of the players to stale. That's bad form.

I've mulled it over and I think we should just play on from now. If someone has travel plans or something you should get a temp sub. We have too many players to delay for any one person.

K, That IS the one reason to roll it back and I can understand that. If I hadn't got up at 5 AM to go to the gym and decide to check messages in another game and just run by this one...I would have staled also.My ranting has/had nothing to do with the Admin of the game nor directed at anyone personally.It is that the size of the game means you need to get off to a good start...I had a great start and someone HIJACKS the game (twice).I just wanted to whine for a moment as I have NEVER had a start with 7 Provinces around my Capitol.I was trying to play catch up and was doing reasonably well when someone asked for a delay and someone didn't see it and we rolled it back...Lo and BEHOLD, there is a dominions God and he likes me...I get a whole dang army for free and NOW my friends ...be skeeered, be very a skeeered as I can expand comfortably in 2 directions:D.AND THEN...AND THEN, that tricky Dominios God said it was just a dream and took my army from me.:doh:So I (LOL) lobbied (read that...begging) that maybe we should just start over...:eek:So I have had my say and I thank you for the offer of money...but I can't be bought that cheap ( but for 100 Earth Gems... SOLD!!)Good luck all, lets go see what the new start has in store for me THIS time, you never know maybe I have opened the Tartarian Gate!!:p

(Sigh) I can't even post correctly, I was previewing and then hit submit and it ran it all together.

I think this is going to be a loooong game for me....

Now this here, is a great example of how to whine properly!:D

I think we can safely say that the stalls and roll backs have been a pain to us all, but i'm sure it'll be all systems go from here. It shouldn't surprise that a game this size may fall foul of the occasional admin error.

It won't be long before we are complaining about a new set of ingame issues - trecherous double crossers for instance... Hang in there Grudgebringer, a game of Dominions is about managing the ups and downs!

Hello

I have to go back home and drop the games I'm in (I can't take my computer). I'm sorry to warn so late (and after having already stalled one or two turns) but something unexpected came up and I forgot a bit about the games I'm in.

There is no password on my pretender, do as you see fit :) (it is possible that I will be available again in a week or so if no sub has been found yet...)

Have fun,
