Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I'd postpone 12 hours due to llama server being en transit.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

The web site isn't showing the updated time, I assume since the server is down.
Hopefully it won't decide to host at once when he plugs it back in.
And hopefully LoloMo actually got sent the turn so he can look at it while the server is in transit.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I got the files, thanks! I'm off to bed now, but will work on my turn tom. I should be able to submit my file within 24 hours. If any nation has existing agreements with Caelum, please PM me the details.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Hmmm, looks like it won't accept my (Lanka's) turn. Hopefully everything will work out!

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Fair warning.

If we host tonight due to the llamaserver's confusion, we will rollback.
Ignore any turns you get tonight. Do not upload a new turn, except for those hadn't sent yours in before the llamaserver went down.

We should be scheduled to host tomorrow 22:45 GMT to give our new Caelum a chance to play.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

It looks like llamaserver is hosting Mists of Time at Thursday at 1045 GMT (as I recall) and only T'ien Chi has not put a turn in. So it checked its email before hosting, thankfully! I got about 14 messages from it, as I had sent in 2 versions of my turn, and it repeated both receipt messages about 7 times. :D I sent in the "good" version again, just to make sure.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I had put in a placeholder turn actually, but i haven't gotten any reply from llama - i'll leave it alone for now.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Do you still need time in VC3? I am leaving town Thurs Morning and would like to get the turn in.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Well, we're up and running again.
Due to the llamaserver's recent excursion it appears turns were not actually emailed out when it hosted. If you ask the website to resend it should work now.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Of course, to continue the saga of tc's woes my 15 minute put together placeholder turn got used instead of the one i spent a few more hours on wheeeeeee

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

The Caelum nation of Eagle Kings is now under new management. After an extensive financial audit of the nation's coffers, we have come to the conclusion that the previous administration had been remiss in properly disbursing the hard earned cash of our industrious birdmen. This will not do at all. Therefore, as consciensious beaurocrats, we have decided to embark upon a rigorous program of spending. If you have gems, we have gold. If you have blood slaves, we have gold. If you have magic boosters of any path, we have gold. Contact us with what you have and how much you want for it, and we'll negotiate.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Should we postpone for 12 hours for those handful that haven't gotten their turns in? While it's frustrating to postpone, we need these countries active at this pt.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I did. I wasn't going to, but you said this and it was last minute, so I did. I'm not going to do so again, unless asked specifically by someone for more time.

This game has to start moving. I'm happy to pause when someone is away or needs more time, but it's been 5 days. This isn't about not having enough time to get the turn done. Nor did anyone ask for more time or say they were going away.

12 more hours. Then anyone left stales. If they do it again next turn I'll assume they've dropped and look for yet another sub.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Here I am asking for my first extension.. I'll be off the city till sunday, and won't have internet access.. I'm in a hurry so I couldn't send my turn, I'd be glad if the game is delayed a bit.. Till sunday evening?

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Yomi has staled for the second time in a row.
I've tried to contact statttis, who does still seem to be around the forums.

We may need to look for another sub. Does anyone know what shape Yomi is in? Is he at war?

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I must retire of the game. I must do a course for 3 months.My free time is out.I must retire of all my games.Sorry but I need this promotion to my job

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Alright. Good luck with the course and promotion.

I'll post for a sub.
As far as I know Neifelhiem is doing well. Is he at war with anyone at the moment.

On the previous topic: Apparently Yomi is in pretty bad shape. I'll be setting them AI before the next turn runs.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Niefelhelm is at war with Lanka, don't know about anyone else.

Yomi has been in pretty bad shape for a loooong time; kudos to Stattis for staying for so long when he could have gone AI 2 months ago.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I think i can take over as Niefel. their position doesn't look untendable. i'd like at least two days to do the turn though since i'll likely be busy tomorrow

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Great. Welcome aboard.

I've bumped up the timer. one more delay won't hurt this game.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

It didn't get bumped! It's still hosting at 140 GMT Thursday (2.5 hours)!

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

well we're in luck since i managed to do the turn. a little rushed, but it should do. now to return Niefel to greatness. (once i clean up the organization first.)

it would be nice if my neighbors would send me a PM regarding our relations though. ;)

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

OK, I tried again.
It seemed to work this time. 24 hours.

I thought I'd checked the first time, but I guess not.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

ok all set

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Hiya - I'd like to request a 12hr delay I'm still out of town with a dead laptop not sure if I can get back in time

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I checked llamaserver and I'd just like to point out that in the last 4 turns we've had 2 stales TOTAL for the 14 nations left in the game. That's phenomenal in a game this size, especially after some of the technical difficulties/confusion we had previously. Thanks to thejeff for keeping this thing on track, and to our wonderful subs who are helping us all keep playing what has turned out to be a really fun EA game.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

What a wacky game. Lots of fun!

I'd like a 14 hr extension on the turn; I'm away for the weekend and may need it. Thanks!

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I'm abusing my admin privileges to give myself an extension. Various computer and connection issues plagued me most of the weekend.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

does shard get an extension for his sub-hunt? its a bad time for him to stale i think

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Haven't been able to do my turns from my office for the past couple of weeks and the late nights are really getting intolerable. I'll be flying off again this December anyway so may as well look now

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Grijalva is the new High Celestial Master of Tien Chi.

Grijalva will probably need some extra time to review the past turns and my notes at hand.

It has been an extremely useful learning experience, and I am still available for consultation as at the very least I am not denied access to forums. It has been a pleasure to play with you all, and I hope we have the chance to cross swords once more.



PS - My money is on Atlantis winning, though all the nations at the edge of the map are powerful. Also, no more gemgen and non-wraparound maps for me - the advantage of starting in the corner is very strong.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Grijalva should also probably send me an email address so I can switch control over to him.


As for Atlantis winning, I wish I was that confident. I'm in a good position, certainly, but Atlantis is a mid-game power, with no native real Death, Astral or Blood access. I've tried to compensate for that of course, but it's no substitute. Having a lot of provinces doesn't mean a lot at this point.

This map also had way too much water, with nice convenient chokepoints. I had ~30 water provinces before having to fight anyone.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I've postponed for a day to let T'ien Ch'i sort its new ruler out.

Let me know if you need more time.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

thanks for the postponement...I should have my turn sorted out by then...snd thanks to shard for filling me in on the situation of his empire...

- Grijalva

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Would it be possible to have the first page updated, as to which nations are in or out, and especially who is currently in charge of the remaining nations?

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Not unless we can get Firewalker to do it.

The llamaserver page tells you which nations are still in, but not who plays them.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

my favorite global!

its about to get very very cold in the world. enjoy!

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Can we get a 24 hour delay for turkey day?

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Good game, shard. It was fun, and hopefully we can play in the same game again sometime. I see that the Illwinter has arrived and the Rimtursar grow restless in their slumber. This game continues to be very interesting.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Can we get an additional 6 hours? Sorry for requiring more time, but our demon monkeys ate too many elephants for demon monkey thanksgiving.

Thanks, and please send winter boots and scarves to Lanka; we'll need them!

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I just got with a rather nasty bug. In a big fight, one of my mages started off on the enemy side of the board. Needless to say, he didn't last long with cost me some goodies and an unique artifact. Anyone else had this happen? Is there are any recourse? I don't mind losing the mage but I want the artifact back. (I won the battle but didn't get all the gear). In the fight, he cast spells during my turn and then he swiftly died during the attacking players turn.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

sorry hoo, but that's kinda hilarious. :)
never heard of that happening.. poor guy never had a chance

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

That's one I've never heard of. Might be worth posting on the bug thread.

Otherwise, the only thing I can suggest is to request that no one else forge that artifact. If you lost it due to a bug, you should be able to reclaim it.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Apparently it's a fairly rare bug but people have had it before. I'm gonna forge Nethgul again and will be bummed if someone swipes it from me!

The rest of his gear was non-unique and it's not a gamebreaker. More funny in retrospect.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Hey, you didn't say it was Nethgul in the bug thread!

It's not a bug. He likes to blink. :)

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Don't think it was blink..would be embarrassing. mostly b/c he started at the other side. But i'll check again tonight.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Nethgul cast horror mark. He started next to enemy before the combat started. Just weird. It was the 2nd fight in the province so I think he got stuck from his positino in the first fight.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Hi guys,

I updated the player list on the first page a bit. Feel free to PM me any player changes I missed.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Could we change the due time to 0600 GMT on Thursday instead of 1135 GMT Wednesday? I'm out of town on a work trip for this week and I will probably not have time to get the turn in tomorrow as we've got a ton of stuff due Wednesday that I'll be working on in my hotel. I will get the turn done on my trip just not as fast. Sorry for the delay, I will be done after Thursday and back on track after that.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Water pipe burst right over Frozen's computer, so he will probably need a delay until he can figure out a way to get his turns done.
