Ok, luckily I was able to check from another computer. The server is indeed up, the issue seems to be related to my computer, probably firewall settings or some such.

sorry for the false alarm.

New turn.

Re: Invisible Swarm 2 - recruiting
 

Newsflash! a peaceful ermorian trade and religious delegation was brutally and unprovokedly attacked by a vicious band of degenerate monkey men. the holy half-human corpses of our peaceful nuns were not even disposed of with the proper ceremonies. this is an outrage to all decent and civilized peoples!

Re: Invisible Swarm 2 - recruiting
 

Trade delegation? Would this be the same group of barbarians our peace-and-love -delegation observed slaughtering innocent villagers just moments before in an orgy of blood and guts? No wonder even the most enlightened of the White Ones wanted to exact quick justice. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Peace.gif[/img]

Turn 8 is up

Re: Invisible Swarm 2 - recruiting
 

As R'lyeh, I have taken two (neutral) land provinces for scout production and later spellcasting--and unintentionally, one of those provinces ended up neighbouring Ermor's capitol. As a result, and as an attempt to avoid immediate hostilities ; ), I have PM'd him offering an exchange of provinces; I take a similar province of his farther away from his capitol, and he takes the province I conquered. I...*think* he has agreed to the exchange; his response to me indicated he would be taking the province I conquered, and I can't see how he could have mistaken my PM to be offering anything except an exchange. I have PM'd him again to clarify he understands exactly what the offer is, just in case.

I am just announcing this publicly as a precaution, to prevent misunderstandings and accusations later--particularly with that no-attacking-for-10-turns houserule we have going in this game. : )

Ermor, you have at least six hours before I am able to get home and complete my turn, to change our agreement if this is somehow not your understanding.

Re: Invisible Swarm 2 - recruiting
 

hi. i'm not sure what sort of trade there's supposed to be, none at all was mentioned in the initial communication, and I haven't agreed to any. :-)

I was more under the impression that vacating the province was a good will gesture, before I just take it on turn 11 - but really these negotiations should be in pms, not the game thread, i think...

I can wait; its no problem really :-)

ok the last turn (10) of enforced peace is coming up...
