Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I wouldnt mind a slowdown or pause in the schedule.

In other news: Jarkko, why are you ignoring my PM?

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I'm fine with a slow down. Hopefully QM will be back. He mentioned he might be back this weekend.

The Marignonian Royal Order of the Death Snake salutes Caelum for the pleasure of meeting them on the battlefield, prior to their nation disappearing in a puff of logic.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I could use a downtime between the 24th and the 26th, but I'm otherwise fine with the regular schedule... not that I need much time to do my turns for Man as I can't live up to Calahan's legacy of intricate battle plans!

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Until QM is back in the saddle I'll keep my eye on the timer. I'm going to postpone hosting if I see it getting close to the time and there are missing turns. The only trouble will be bed time. I'll just make sure it's set for 12 hours more when I go to bed.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I'd like to request a permanent sub for MA Ermor. I've got a new job and have to move house soon, so I need to drop some Dom3 commitments, and I'm enjoying this game least.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Er, and a 48h delay would help me too. I've already staled the last turn.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Ok, so I really did believe this, and that we would have maybe a three day pause at the holidays. Seems I was wrong. Seems I was not the only one who did believe so, with *three* players getting a stale turn :(

I understand the need to keep games going, I value that very much. But when several people asks the game to be delayed 2-3 days *at this point of the year* when most likely many people have other things on their mind, and those requests are simply ignored (despite giving the impression that the game is delayed), then I must say I utterly disappointed.

Not a good show. Especially when people have so far been very flexible in this game, this arbitrary stupidity seems like a major slap in the face. I suppose I should have objected to people changing nations and the previous delay requests, but I did imagine this game was not supposed to be such a game :(

Not a good show at all :( I think a new player for Pangaea should be found, I am really that pissed at this moment :(

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I'm very sorry Jarkko. QM has come back and is taking control of Abysia. I was away for the 2 day Christmas break with limited access to the forums. Also I had assumed that QM was watching the timer. Again, that's my fault. When I left on the 24th things looked pretty good.

I should have set the timer to 96 hours before I left. Again, I apologize. I'll talk to QM. I think we should have a roll back for this one.

I am no longer playing in this game. Having switched nations once to try to resolve the substitution problem I don't feel comfortable rejoining. I have too much inside knowledge I shouldn't have. I also strictly limited my Abysia play to regency. Hold in place and keep the nation ready for QM.

So to sum up, I've tried hard to help the game keep going and feel quite bad about the mistake causing 3 stales.

Regards,
Maer

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Maerlande, apology accepted. You made an excellent effor to keep the game going when it was near to collapse, and I value that very much.

Besides, I've had a few hours to cool down from the shock I got this morning, and it is clear to me these things happen. Water udner the bridge now, and all that :)
There is only one thing I hate more (in Dominions, that is) than staling, and that is roll-backs. I for one wouldn't want to see that happen. Simply put, too much information has been revealed to those who did not suffer from this misunderstanding, and it wouldn't be fair to mess their game. Besides, nothing seriously bad happened to Pangaea due to the stale (except C'tis succeeded to take one of my capitals, but C'tis is nearly dead anyway ( ;) )), so lets keep moving on :)

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

i HATE roll-backs.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Ha. Ha.

Remember what happened last time you said that tho! :)

That said - are we still at war or what?

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Many thanks to whoever took over Ermor - much appreciated. If you need any info on what's going on (although it should be fairly straightforward) please let me know and I'll fill you in.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I will not be able to play dominions after january 7th. I will need a replacement substitute. I will post in the appropriate thread to advertise for one.
Sorry.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Folks can determine if they are okay with me returning to play Ryleh. I do have some intel on Aby but it's a few turns out of date now. I'm happy to take Ryleh back.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

sorry maerlande... :(

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

No complaints here

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I have found a player to take R'leyh for this game. its ossa. Can you please use his e-mail for R'leyh?

Can you please resend the turn for him so that it goes to him and he can take over.... If you need his e-mail address then please PM him or I.

Thanks,
I.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

The turn for this game was sent to me instead of OSSA. i will not be able to play it. Please change the e-mail address associated with R'leyh from mine to Ossa's.

If this isn't done i am afraid R'leyh will stale.

I am sorry for any confusion but i have done my best to keep the administrator informed, to find a replacement and to provide details of the game to my replacement. if there is anything further you require of me i am happy to do so but i cannot play the turn.

Thank you,
Immac.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Game delayed since I'm traveling.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

The server still thinks i am playing r'leyh- i got a server request for a turn.

to the admin: please read post 519 and 514

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

i will be away from my pc, as i will go to travel, but as i (ulm) am almost death anyway, i dont think that someone will object to me going AI.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Nope, thanks for the game! Glad for an end to all those damn iron darts...

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

OK, im AI now. From now on no one will contain ermor for you, and i predict them now to rush to victory very fast .

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

To preempt any possible Ermor blitz victory, Marignon will take immediate counter-measures. Pan, prepare to defend your VPs!

-- Insane Blind Wyrm Death Cult of Marignon

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Right... Marignon declares war on Ermor, and Pan is the one to suffer. The mind boggles trying to figure out the logic of that :0

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

When did Marignon declare war on Ermor? An breakaway faction of flagellants did happen to conquer an Ermorian province a few months ago, but they were excommunicated and executed (not necessarily in that order).

Ulm proclaimed that Ermor would rush to victory. It's a race. You can join in too, you know!

-- Crazy Death Wyrm Cult Spokesperson

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Oh, ok. Pangaean rushing is slightly difficult at the moment, the naked women want food, even the wastelands where there is no food, damnit :( It's bad enough in the paradise dominion of fair Pangaea, but in the hellish and un-godly areas it is double as worse :(

To add salt to the wound, the pesky Agarthans refuse the to die, and C'tis (which is practically dead) also has problems with understanding what it means to "lie down and stay still, and please stop kicking back already"...

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Hahah - just as "practically dead" as the last time you tried to claim that, I'm sure. I think you will be unpleasantly surprised at whats being cooked up at my cap for you. And I would like to point out for nettling purposes that I offered to settle the conflict, prior to the restart of hostilities :doh:

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Hah, now Marignon joins the nations who have suprise attacked Pangaea. You may find out that "blitz" is not something that happens in fair Pangaea though, just like the other nations before Marignon have found out. You need a few thousand more troops to take the forts, because nobody repairs the walls as fast as a frenzied naked woman, or should I say, a few thousand frenzied naked women.

Sadly this means I *again* have to let C'tis live, and move my main armies back east. Grumble grumble... Please mr lizard, don't go and die to somebody else in the meantime, I would like that capital of yours as a payment for all the trouble your sneaky little backstab has caused to this day!

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Oh this sounds fun :) Wishing you all the best from the former squid heads.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Apologies! Did you think that by "prepare to defend your VPs", we meant that in the general, "oh hi, don't forget about the VPs" sense, rather than "all your VPs are belong to the Death Wyrm Cult"?

No-one expects the Marignon Inquisition, even when we annouce we are coming!

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Oh hey! Aby and R'lyeh have both staled for the last 3 turns. Anyone seen QM lately?

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

No one seems to have seen QM at all. However, I believe I still have admin power. Do we need new subs?

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I was wrong. I no longer have admin power

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Don't mind Jarkko - I think he's developing a persecution complex ;)

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Fair Pangaea begins the counterattack! Enemies run in despair in front of the wrath of nature. Marignon will be sweeped off the map, they are soon as dead as C'tis already practically is!

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Did my scouts just see a GoR'ed Ice Drake leading an Oceanian army? Or were my eyes deceived?

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Nah, it's a transformed Capricorn. Theres a couple hundred or so running around upkeep free.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Thanks. It's quite possible someone's been reading your guide. :)

I gave up on Transformation after some insta-deaths ... I never know you could get cool things like Ice Drakes.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Hey guys - sorry I blanked on my turn. Just got to work and saw the 6hr warning. Can I get a 24hr extension? I'll do it as soon as I get home after work...

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Hi guys. Talked to qm. His life is gone crazy and no computer. So I do have admin power again and got you the extension IH.

I'd like to return as Ryleh since it's dead.

Have you guys killed off Aby?

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

QM is very unlikely to be back for quite a while. I'm going to look for a sub for Aby.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

i'm still getting turns as r'leyh. i've set my email to junk them automatically. i DID find a sub so why you didn't impement him is beyond me and i hope it doesn't reflect badly on me.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I wasn't admining at that time and wasn't following. QM kind of dropped off the map due to computer problems so the whole thing got stuck. Not your fault.

I see the sub was Ossa. I'll see if he's still interested.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Ossa has offered to sub Ryleh and I will sub Abysia. Things should somewhat get back to normal.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Hi;)
THough the turn is processing soon - who am I allied/NAPed to?

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Everyone left you alone while staling. Renegotiate to your heart's content.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

NAPs mean nothing in this game. It's all backstabbing.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Folks. I postponed hosting for 12 hours. A lot of turns are missing and I just can't quite get a handle on Aby tonight. I'm too tired from dancing last night :)
