Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

in other news, it's real nice that you guys actually said what the decision was... I was refraining from making my new turn until I heard whether we're rolling back again or not, and now I see that the game hosted.

also "Reminder: Rock_the_Cradle hosting in around 2 hours" 2 hours, really??? yeah, like that helped, especially when these 2 hours were when I was still sleeping...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

****, didn't notace you had stalled. My oppologies.

I postponed the game 24 hours. that is probably what caused the strange 2 hour notification.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Since a stale is always really bad at this point in the game, we could always have a roll back... You know... For you :3

Also: Someone in the chat was kind enough to explain globals and dispelling. Essentially its only the amount of gems and levels over the base that matters

I cast...
Arcane Nexus with a S8 Mage at 171 Pearls
Global Power = 21
Pangaea Cast...
Carrion woods with a N? mage at (#>90) Nature Gems
Global Power = Over 21

Therefore, his global easily erased mine. I don't feel as bad now knowing that there is a system. But God DAMN that sucks. There goes 171 pearls for nothing. The lessons this game teaches sometimes are brutal. Lesson learned. Don't save all your gems for many many turns, then convert them into pearls for a global.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

yeah I was the 1 to explain it to you, was just wrong with the mage level into additional gems bonus. and no, I don't want a rollback just for me, just for 1 stale, but I know you were cynic about it so I forgive you :P

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

And keep your freaky deaky hippy paws out of my land!!

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

That's not nearly as bad as the one you did on me... you actually gained units, you freak of nature lol.

It's amazing to see the difference between first and second MP games... I've learned a lot from my first (this one) because of all the horrible, horrible mistakes I've made, which makes my second game much stronger. Still, I see new things every day; this game has a whale of a learning curve.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

D'oh! Sorry about the stale... I've got extra kids staying over, so I missed the reminder email. Honestly, it can't make much difference, as I've only got a few units left, but I still feel badly about it.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

one stall this whole game really isn't bad. sorry to hear about you're military plight...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

So Iyae has arcane nexus up. It might be a good idea to give me gems to dispel it? Certainly, he is extremely dangerous with a delicious combo of Arcane Nexus AND the steel ovens :)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Damn guys did you have to do your turns so fast? I have a massive amount of stuff to do each turn and I was hoping for a two day break --;;

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Alright guys something big just occured in my life and I wont be able to continue this game. I'm terribly sorry but I've got to drop out as I no-longer have the time (and possibly the ability to access) for the game

I'll try to find a sub as quickly as I can. How hard can this one be right? Haha

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Well Shinujama is finally dead (took long enough) so I would be available...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

If you want it take it. Just ask Colonial.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Could you PM me your diplomatic Status and your planned for strategy?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Im happy with Korwin subbing Nosantee. You just helped us out with a failed empire, you deserve being rewarded with a very strong one. I assume you to can work out the passwords and that between the two of you. shall I change the email address?

I'm sorry to hear about the real life F***up Nosantee. Can't say you didn't have a brillient run of it in this game though. I look forward to challenging you again if and when you ever show back up in dom3 land.

On another note I would be up for taking a 24 hour hietus. I've just joined a sprawling, vicious, strangling match. Also Korwin will have to get use to wielding the light blue gient. so what do people say to an extrodinary 24 hour postponement? (maybe even 48 at this late hour.)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I'm fine w/ a postponement, so you can get organized.

Also, welcome back and thanks for taking over the spot on such short notice.

Nathan

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Deadline is 16:15 9th Feb. (at the moment)
Extension would be good. 6 hours should be enough (to do the turn after work).
Llamaserver started working again, but its late here... (need my sleep ;) )

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Email updated, and turn postponed 24 hours.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Holy ****, I'm impressed. Hopefully I can hold Nosantes Niveau...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Haha yeah my apologies. I really should have stressed the utter amount of effort and time you're going to have to put into it. MA Arco is one of the most micro and macro intensive nations. You've got to keep everything correct and prepped and the smallest error is going to cost you an entire army/fort/ten provinces, etc.

Thats why I love Arco, its a real challenge!

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Incidently, the two of you just took out a fully kitted Rudra with frozen heart spam :'(

Bastards...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Nosantes doing, he scripted. (At least I dont remember changing scripts to Frozen heart spam)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

to be honest, it's your fault Colonial if you let Rudras die to Frozen Heart spam... so easy to defend against.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Yeah, true enough. thought I could get a way with cold resist 50... I guess noob games are all about learning. Next rudra gets a rime haubark :)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Sent an Present to Anthrax, tell me how he liked it...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Poor anthrax :(

----------------

wait ... um ... dude? I haven't turned my turn in yet. I could just move him...

might want to change you're turn...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Doesnt matter Magic is before Movement. :)
And even if it would be otherwise, then you would not know what the present was...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Presents??? Is it your birthday?!?!

GRATS!

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Btw. I don't think Anthrax will die (this time)...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Lol,

true enough, and fair play. I reckon the big fella could take an arrow from the sky at this stage...

totally double checking his combat orders though.

maybe it'll be ghouls :D

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Right. I was thinking it was due tomorrow night not tonight. unilaterally granting myself an extension here. 18 hours should be tomorrow night...

Perks of being admin. sorry lads :P

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I don't mind you granting yourself extensions like that, as long as it's just extensions and not another rollback or something bigger. also, while you're at it, can you please update us on who plays what nation? the first post in this thread is outdated and earcaraxe doesn't seem to bother fixing it, so can you please post the updated information?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Right, can't change the first post, but for now, and whenever you want to go back to page 50-whatever for some outdated information:

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

All you had to do was ask...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Incidently, seems there's really someone on these forums called 'earcaraxe'. did you used to know that guy and are playing with the names or what?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

No, I thought he was referring to me and I just didn't get the joke lol. Never heard of the guy.

"Earwicker" is from "Finnegans Wake" by James Joyce; "7" is just a lucky number.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I feel so dumb, I should read the spell description... :(

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Must say, I'm feeling a little time constrained, and we can't have more than a year or two left in the game. I vote for 36 hour turns.

what do yous reckon?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I say, we allready are at 36 hour turns. :)
Do you want an 48 hour turnaround?

Edit: Looked at the wrong game...
We are allready at 48 hours per turn. Dont want more time between turns...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

which ever one is 3 days...

36 hours is the one that starts with 3, see how I could get confused?

yeah, I meant 72 hours :S

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

another self-extension for you all, seems I'm going out this evening, instead of spending it in front of dominions...

Looks like Korwin will also thank me for this one.

so yeah, i reckon at least 2.5 days is in order. If no one objects I'll change it next turn

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Looks like I'm in war with all other players.

If someone wants to stab someone in the back. Do it they are all at war with me :)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

your nexus got dispelled once, than instead of seeing the hint and letting it go you put it back up. sorry but you invited this onto yourself(well, your predecessor did, but you're not even trying to change the situation), in fact you've just made it worse.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

So Marignon was behind the dispell? Why did you not dispell R'ley's Forge of the Ancients instead?
Since R'ley is/was allready at war with me...

Not bringing up the Nexus would habe been an admission of weakness. :D

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

no, I was not behind the dispel, just giving you the picture as you seem to fail to get it on your own. and no, not putting back the nexus wouldn't be a sign of weakness, it will be a sign of someone who learns from his(or in this case, his predecessor's) mistakes and knows how to adapt to the situation at hand.

so anyway, you made your choice, can't go back now, all you can do now is eat the meal you've cooked.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

To be honest, one more player at war with me...
Who cares? ;)
4 or 5 whats the difference?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

On a lighter note, I do get a kick out of Korwin's rambo mystic worriars (that he got from the rollback issue). anyone else encountered these formidable creatures? :D

they're even significantly faster than the peltasts, so they always hit first. it's brilliant.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

In honor of the Tentacled horrors who took the game ending Arcane Nexus from me, I'll offer all nations who are at war with me (with the exception of R'ley) peace.

The fish now controll Arcane Nexus AND Forge of the Ancients.
If you take my offer please post here before the turn hosts, and get the f u c k out of my lands, break of all sieges of my forts and I will do the same.
I wont give back land and dont want you to give me back land.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

ALL RIGHT, which one of you cheeky monkeys stole my rhaux?!?

50 bloody fire gems I wount be seeing again. sneeky, cheeky, bastards...
