Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

fine by me Vel - thanks for the update.

though most of those staling are about to be destroyed and so have probably w/drawn from the game i think - sauro, lanka, ea caelum? forget who else.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

hmm it's been two hours hosting ... something screwed up again?

edit: 3 hrs

double edit: 4 hrs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ... 7

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I think we need another extension so that Lanka can finish their turn.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Hadrian has been in and out on IRC and on the boards... I doubt that it has been a question of time. We have already had an extra two days extension after a nice 4 day turn, and Hadrian has certainly not requested another extension.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Sorry, I should have put a " http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif " next to my comment. I'm just disappointed to see that Sauromatia has taken their turn but Lanka has not.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

How are things going in my absence?

Has Zhao eaten the lot of you yet? At this point, of course, I'm rooting for him to win, since then I can make an outrageous claim to second place http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Hm, did i miss that we had to resend the turn?

I did this turn and now there were no orders, seems that i did not pay enough attention to this game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

You mean the turn hosted and you staled?

No one should have had to resend their orders in. The game hung processing so I had to re process the turn.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I have played that turn once, and it showed me as done. But it seems it got lost in the rehosting trouble of lately.

But as im defeated anyway, and just annoying shin, i can live with going to AI now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

hi hadrian - before either of the hosting attempts for that turn, it was still showing you as not having uploaded a turn. I figured you had just given up on it...

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

i know that i have done this turn, but it might be that have messed it up somehow.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

anyways, you had a glorious victory because i'm a moron http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

changed target and kit at the last minute... me=idiot

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Hi DrPraetorious! Last turn I ran into nether dart spam from 25 mages; it reminded me of you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I am doing my best to get you your second place. In the next couple of months Lewis and Clark, my demon thugs, should reach the Western Ocean.

On a less cheerful note, I seem to have missed out on all the artifacts, and now Shinuyama is wasting them on killing monkey PD.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

hey, monkey pd is the most dangerous in the game!

you're just late to the Artifact party - I saw Eriu running around with artifacts ages ago http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

hey, i already feel bad enough... no need for any more public humiliation http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I'm not able to connect to the server. Is anyone else having difficulties?

Me too.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Me three.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Me four

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Dunno what the deal was there. My system just restarted itself for no reason I can really detect.......

I'll keep an eye on it.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I have to leave town from Monday the 8th, until the 22nd (US east coast). Valerius will be subbing for me during the 2 weeks I'm away. He will maintain the NAP I have with all my neighbors.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

My plans fell through, so I'm home and back in charge. I expect to leave again next week. It will only be for four days though, and Valerius will take the helm again.

Nightfall for Niefelheim
 

After long years of struggle, the heroic peoples of Midgaard have finally claimed a great victory against the aggressive Blessed Giants of Niefelheim. In a stroke of military genius, Mamor the White Wizard, confronted the indestructible 400 hp Monolith Pretender and destroyed him in a daring magic duel. The former capital of the giants will now be transformed into a winter haven for citizens of Midgaard.

The last of the Niefel Jarl is now being hunted where he has hidden among the swamps of fever fens. Twilight has descended over the nation that was Niefelheim.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

In an effort to speed things up I'd like to get some volunteers not currently playing who could start putting the abandoned nations on AI for me.

Anyone want to lend a hand?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

you should ask someone outside of the game, in order to not have a stale... i'd try the good ol' IRC channel. But who is abandoned? sauro i would guess made their last turn; i don't really know how things are w/ ea caelum and ea ermor; LA arcos is certainly still playing

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

EA Ermor is playing, if bored, any ideas on what to do vis a vis LA Mictlan?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I would recommend diplomacy. Perhaps you could offer a NAP?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Actually, I kinda can't sub b/c I've only got a minimal install on this zipkey, missing the maps and mods and everything.

P.S. - Go, Admiral Zhao! Eat their brains!

Sssh, sssh! Ixnay the rainbay atingeay.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

After this game hosts I'm going to take it down for a little bit while I try to get the status pages working.

BTW if anyone has any ideas on how to get Vista\IIS7 to work correctly with PHP drop me a note http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

hmm.. still a ton of players left to go... is use of email notification widespread? because I know one player was surprised there was a turn, as he had not received any notification...

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

For some reason the last hosting didn't send out an email notification. I just now manually sent it out and added another day to the timer.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Whats the deal Zhao? We agree to at least a 10 turn NAP, if not a permanent NAP in exchange for my gold and gems, then you attack me in three places on the next turn? Its one thing to do everything to win, but this demands an explanation

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I hope you didn't give them all to him upfront http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Well, the deal was gold and gems for peace. I haven't received gold or gems, so you did not receive peace. I admit, it was a highly aggressive action. Perhaps even mega-aggressive. But I have too many jaguars and mages on your border to spend that much time in diplomatic negotiations. My thought was that I either needed to finalize the deal or go ahead and attack. When I saw that you were not sending in a turn, and that I would not be receiving my gems, I told my commanders to go west.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Alright, Mictlan is literally in control of half the map and nobody else is remotely close. Is there any appetite for an immediate cease fire of all other hostilities and attacking of Mictlan by everybody? It's probably too late anyway, but certainly too late if not.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I'm not bordering Mictlan but I can pledge to leave anyone who is actively at war with Mictlan alone...

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Agression? its dishonorable at best, we were negotiatiing and you attacked!

If you look at the score graphs you can see that LA Mictlan has crushed each of his last four opponents in a matter of turns. I think we can congradulate him on a game winning strategy, but his offers to negotiate--you can page up to see one, are farsical.

If crushing everyone on land is fun for you thats fine, its not fun for me, especially when you display poor sportsmanship that deceived me into not preparing what forces I have for your attack.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Oh man, tough crowd...

Atlantis, should I understand that you are formally withdrawing from our NAP?

EA Ermor, I agree, the Mictlani leaders in the western theater have shown remarkably poor impulse control. I believe it is because they have become punch-drunk on the powers of their triple bless. I've seen them blessing themselves and then trying to shoot apples off each other's heads, or just using the quickness effect to finish their house cleaning more quickly. Really, it is a disgraceful abuse of their sacred powers.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Nah, I'm not particularly eager to drag my slimy butt out of the water all by my lonesome to be smacked around. I suppose I'll just watch as you unopposed gobble up small nation after small nation until you're declared the winner.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

That is good news, old chum. I'm happy to hear that the historic understanding between the MA and LA Atlantic royalty is still in effect. Good breeding always tells in the end.

Can't connect to the server. Apparently other games on server are also down?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Just a heads up to my neighbors. My PC is crapping out and it may be a while before I can play again. I can't even access the game right now. I've given Valerius the choice to take over permanently if he wants to, otherwise I've asked him to AI MA C'Tis. I haven't heard back yet. My web access is intermittent for a few days (I had to leave town for a bit today as well) but I'll check back once or twice a day to see what he chose.

I think I have the third largest military right now, so careful folks! Sorry about these circumstances arising.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Well it appears the writing is on the wall... Mictlan has won. I've been playing half heartedly for many turns now and it shows http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.

GG all. I'm putting myself on AI.

EA Abysia

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

The Abysians make a good point. Further resistance to Mictlan will just result in an unnecessary loss of non-Mictlani lives.
