Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

We still have not heard from TheDemon. I assume after the move, he has no internet access. If we do need to sub out for a while, Zeldor would be the first choice, and then Namad.

And I have not yet heard about any victories, but then the team seems to be mostly offline, perhaps due to the late night last night. C'tis raided me some. Not a big deal.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Nope, used the same key.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I've only run into the CD Key violation on server based games. Not in PBEM.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Oh yes, Zeldor that is whom I meant.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

We ran into it last game, Rdonj can vouch for it. How then does one account for it?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I think QM is willing to both his and Caelum's turns until TheDemon returns.

As for the CD key violation, I don't know. I have only run into it on network server games, but you say it does happen in PBEM? I guess we shall have to investigate it more.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Hm. Only noob victory I'm aware of was a successful assasination of my Fishman commander. Congrats, some troops didn't get to participate in Siege of Abysia! Too bad (for you) there are hundreds of us already there!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I'm back. I've asked that qm take one more turn for me. If you could switch emails back after the current turn hosts, I should be able to continue playing as I was before.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Hahaha, "victories"! That's cute Sept.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I count sucessful defenses as victories too and some noobs were gaining/regaining lost provinces, that is something at least.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I seem to have reset Caelum's e-mail prematurely, but I see that QM and Thedemon were able to communicate/transfer the turn file in time. My apology.

In the event I cannot be reached and there is an issue you need addressed right away, please always remember this game has a backup Admin "rdonj" who can make adjustments in my absence.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Oh, Lanka. My dear foe Lanka. You do not attack multiple Jarls that way. I am afraid you are dead now.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

And abysia is decapitalized.

Who's next?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Mysterio looked out upon the lands of the living, and upon his future dominion, and he saw that it was good. Many of his Jarls had died, but many still lived, and new and interesting mages were his to commmand.

Abysia, the foe to be feared, was near to dead. Lanka, another mighty foe, was being driven back with heavy losses. And C'tis, that foe that was not feared, was raiding into his hinterlands, but he could not succeed. His raiding could only come to naught, in the end. Mysterio saw all this, and decided it was a good time to come into his lands, and rule his people.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Well, thats a bit much, however you do have a point. CTis has effectively repulsed two cobbled-together invasions now. He is definitely getting a major education.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I guess the game is practically over.


Well at least I can say I killed the only eagle king that stayed for the fighting. *taunt*
More seeking arrows, right?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Over?

Not by a long shot. It's still 9 against 5.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Well, how about decided?

You have an advantage in provinces and income (and for one nation research).

Anyway I'm not leaving, just guessing. :)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Well its certainly over for Lanka. Took so many turns just to take there first region. And then Caelum showing up before the NAP ended halted any furthur expansion.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

That's too strong of a term. We took the advantage early in the game and we have now capitalized on it to take out one of our enemies quickly. So our plan is basically still on track. However with all the magic coming online now there will be plenty of nasty tricks available to you to try and derail us.

Time to start innovating! :idea:

In other news: Is Sauro ever going to learn with these Hydras? It seems not...

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Lanka, I'm sure you have and will continue to fight tenaciously:fight:,making the vets pay dearly for every inch of sacred noob territory they steal.

You did the best you could and I for one won't have you speaking like that. The same holds true for Abysia and Fomoria.

On behalf of the noob team I salute you.:clap:

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Only probably I have now is finding a way to eat me some giant meat.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Giant meat is tough and stringy. I doubt you would enjoy eating it.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Ctis, Formaria, and Van still out with an hour left to go. Should we extend a bit for them?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Probably. I will give them an 8 hour extension, hopefully that will be sufficient.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Fomoria staled last turn too, but make sure Vanheim gets his turn in. All of the frontline guys on both sides are in critical situations at this point, would be a shame to let a stale turn decide the battle.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I got my turn in! 5 minutes to spare!

... and then I noticed the extension. So, I'll take that back, and fiddle a bit.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

In too, but thanks for the extension anyway. :D Submitting my turn from work, didn't have to stop working quite so early once I saw the extension.

PS: Fight on until your last breath if you can, noobs. You might be dying, but you can still pull all kinds of dirty tricks on our vet buddies, and we're going for team victory here!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

An it comes frozen.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Although the lizards of C'tis seem to enjoy it. I imagine they cook it pretty well-done though.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I think Fomoria needs to be set to AI.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Why would they do that when they could put in a sub?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Yeah, I'd rather not set Fomoria AI just yet, considering that they're right next to me and we're supposedly on the same team. They aren't in position to do much besides launch guerilla attacks on Atlantis (or rituals on other vets), but hey, that's a fun little diversion, right?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Actually, they border me (we have had a few battles).

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Cool... two players available to raid, with some nice giants. Let us contact our designated alternates to see who wants to take part in this!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Well, as I didn't want a large empire (well, as far as large goes) with to much fighting I could imagine to switch with one of the outgoing players and try to defend Formoria if their position is still viable.

I'm fine to continue with Mictlan though.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Are there no alternates available? Could always post to the MP forums looking for a player if nothing else.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Umm, that was bit foolish Sept, don't you think? I mean, four Jarls?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

QM ia correct. As this is a team game, it makes no sense to set anyone to AI. Either one of noob alternates can take over for a last ditch defense or else I'll force host till Fomoria is finished.

Any noob alternates wishing to try to Fomoria PM me your email ASAP.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

You should probably PM them to let them know they are needed.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Perhaps, haven't looked at my turn yet. My goal is of course to help Ctis on that front, so I imagine anything I can do is worthwhile. Btw, Ctis seems to have recovered a few more provinces that turn.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I usually do both, though with Fomoria down to 3 provinces, I think I might wait and see what develops.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Yeah. It galls me to say it, but CTis has actually been doing a pretty good job of keeping both myself and Nief off of his back. Which is no small order, you know. Ling and I have both noted to each other on several occassions how he is picking up on our tricks quite fast.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Imo we shouldn't just let Formoria stale until they are out.

They seem to have many mages and ok research, even if they can't hold they could still try to inflict some casualties.

If nothing else any of the alternates could just do a turn and send their remaining resources to a team member.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Also, if you cant get an alternate for this turn, you should just send formaria's turn to one of the other noobs. Better that someone plays it, than no one at all.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Yeah we need to make a good attempt to get someone to take Fomoria's place. At the very least, free gold and gems. I forget if the capital-only summons for Fomoria are fun but at least it'd give us a little more diversity in our attack options. If one of our alts doesn't want to do it then maybe the next one will... no pressure to perform, just free reign to kick a little ***.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Forgot about the gold and stuff. Let's see... Who's available right now?

Only a few more hours till host, so if Grudge doesn't want it, Lavaere or Stretch can try and see if there's no key problem. If not rdonj will have to do it, as I won't be in in time to change anything. Otherwise it'll have to wait to next turn.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Turns out Fomoria's pretender/turn file is password protected, so oh well. If we can reach him for it ok, if not they'll just have to stale.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Nice move Sept. I'm down two Jarls now. I guess I need better intel.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Hmm, have to check the turn file and see what happened. I'm guessing you counter-attacked.
