Ironically that lab originally belonged to your buddy Arco. I sure hope he found it or got it from an event, because if he built it that means when I took the prov I killed a fort of his under construction.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Stupid Father of Winters! Well, I hope you like Horrors, I expect you're going to be visited by them frequently :mad:

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Er... Hooray! Now we're learning about equipping pretenders as SCs!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

My fort was going to be completed on the turn you took the province.

Jerk.

j/k

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Yes. The advanced lesson, "how to counter said SCs", is left as an exercise to readers for now.

Interim, remember:

Winter Is Coming.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Oh, there's a dozen ways to counter an SC depending on their stats.

Care to send me a screenshot so I can figure the counter to yours?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Nah, I'm not in the mood of doing your teammate's work for you.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Hello there. I'm back from London and have to admit that Stretch has done a terrific job! Nice work.
Well, off to the second LAN. See you in 3 days ;)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

I see our Machaka player (LumenPlacidum) hasn't submitted a turn yet, with barely two hours to go. I've heard there have been some problems with turns getting through to Llamaserver recently. Can someone check that everything is going OK here?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

I will pm and email him. Additionally I will add 4 hours to the hosting, hopefully that will be enough time to make sure everything is working.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

nevermind, sorry

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

I had timed it out myself knowing I was getting home late today. My turn is now submitted... within the original time limit. Thanks for the concern.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Lol! The vile grand master that wins 4 magic duels with higher astral mages....dies to a random slinger stone.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

David really has become so cliche that he never gets the credit he deserves. ;)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

FYI. The current turn (19) will likely need to be extended 24-36 hours as per Squirreloid's (Shinuyama) request and due to his sub Iainuku, not being available over the weekend.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Go Stretch, go! Woe to the vets who must face you.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Ermor still stands. A Green Dragon awaits to be killed. The Grand Thaumaturgs have a dastardly plan for it.

Hmm? Where did Pythium go? He must have had more urgent needs in other lands.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

since we are so sure shinyuma won't be back till monday.... let's add a delay now... that way people who don't check this forum won't rush to hurry the turn in sunday night after checking llamaserver.net...


if we know there will be a delay... let's add it early so everyone benefits equally from the extra time and piece of mind.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

One of the noobs has volunteered to take the turn for shinuyama if my sub hunting thread doesn't pan out. So there actually should not be a delay. You may rejoice.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Well that is good news. Go to it then.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Ok, so it seems i'm going to be gone again sooner than I had thought I would be - so Iainuki can continue as Shinuyama for awhile. I'll let people know when I'm back. His plane should also be landing soon, so if Shinuyama hasn't taken a turn yet he can probably do the current turn without too many problems...

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Well, bugger. When do you think you'll be back, squirrel? Raiel has the current turn dealt with. I can switch control back over to Iainuki once the current turn hosts. If it ever does....

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

The Shin bone is connected to the Ash-kicking bone.:smirk:

Seriously, though... I'll be glad to hand it back off. I don't really like trying to hold two Master Plans in my head: especially knowing that my Master Plan for Shin would not be that of the original owner.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Noob Gold Total - 364,251
Noob Gem Total - 1,969
Vet Gold Total - 147,193
Vet Gem Total - 1056

Gold advantage: 2.47x
Gem advantage: 1.86x

Over the last few turns the noobs seem to have really been opening up the gem gap. It will be interesting to see if they can capitalize on it.

Raiel, looking at the score graphs this turn it seems ashdod has dropped by an amount of gold more or less equivalent to that of a cap. Does this mean you have him under siege? :shock:

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Hah! I may be performing O.K. for a noob, but that would have been a miracle for a non-teleporting/TC nation.

Nothing quite that spectacular, but let's just say that I don't think Shin will be feeling any serious pressure for a turn or two.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Opening/main post updated to reflect current player situtation. The only e-mail address (for alternates) we are lacking is Morpf's. If anyone can reach him direct him to this post/thread.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Heh, think you can take me, C'tis? Well, OK, bring it on.

Honestly, I would have had Pyth do the job. He's a better match on me.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Okay, I'm back from the Lan and would like to resume my game as Ulm when a proper moment arrives :happy:

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

This has turned out to be quite an exciting and interesting game. For the benefit of those who may be following:

It would appear the noobs have gained a bit of dominance in the North, with the nearly complete destruction of Ermor and the prospect of Ashdod standing alone, whilst in the South led by vet Vanheim, the situation is somewhat reversed with Jottunheim hard pressed as Caelum and Arco now face some pressure.

Is this the end of the Mysteria(o,oso)line?

Can the vets save Ermor?

Can the noobs stay alive in the south?

Will the water provinces play any strategic role?

Will this turn into a north/south struggle?

:gossip::popcorn:

Whatever, the outcome, let us thank Lingchih for all his efforts on behalf of the Noobs vs. Vets Series. The father of the vet team, a firm believer in the series, and the inspiration for its ridiculous but humorous plotline. This time I hope we can make it to at least turn 40 before either side concedes.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

We can switch you back as early as turn 21 if you and Stretch are OK with that.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Theres no need to hurry. If Stretch is in the middle of something he wants to finish I can wait a few turns. I'll be monitoring the forums at all times :)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

That may be, but you guys did a decent job of maneuvering us into a situation where this match up had to happen again.

I'll refrain from speculating for a turn or two...

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Please do speculate, it's the salt of this game.

A bit like generals of opposing armies having a toast while their underlings slaughter each other on nearby battlefield. Gentlemen must be civilized, after all.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

All right. I hereby speculate that if I were to publicly speculate upon the outcome of alledgedly imminent conflicts between opposing forces, one belonging to C'tis and the other to Ermor, that such speculation may result in alterations to existing plans on the part of mine enemies, possibly to the determent of my team's long term goals.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Our secret weapon is militias.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Oh.

From appearances it would've seem barbarians.

But you got me there. Totally. Like.

My secret weapons are skinshifters. Trust me on that one.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Shinuyama's secret weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Less than 5 hours to go, and 7 nations have not yet submitted their turns - what's going on? Three of the seven are Vets, so it's not a team problem. Do we need a delay or something?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

That never was my favorite sketch.

:O

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

My favorite was always the Ministry of Silly Walks.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

I named all my commanders after quirky Monty Phython Sketches once..

I had the Knight name Ni
Then I had the Knight name Formerly called NI

Ect... I thought it was funny.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

For the movies I'm actually rather partial to Life of Brian, although Holy Grail does have a special place in my heart.

For sketches my favorite is probably the philosopher's song from Live from the Orange Bowl.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

About 3.5 hours to go, and 5 teams have still not submitted turns!

Oh, and "'how can you tell he's the king?' 'Well, he doesn't have **** all over him'" - I may be (OK, almost certainly am) remembering that scene incorrectly, but it's been a while ;)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

With two hours on the clock and 5 players with outstanding turns, I'm postponing the hosting a few hours. Please get your turns in as soon as possible people.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Yes! the ministry of silly walks is awesome.

Incidentally, my favorite comedy sketch of all time?

Your name, sir? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNoS2BU6bbQ

or maybe the classic: Who's on first.

other good ones are the argument clinic, (monty python I think)
or the hedge sketch.(fry and laurie)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Awesome! Dr House prior to well um.. Dr. House!!!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Yeah, he and stephen fry had their own comedy show in england for awhile. some of their sketches are great. Its odd to think that he was a comedian before he was Dr. House isn't it?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Woo! That was exciting. A shame I must have misjudged all those ranges on my mages. I mean, fire elementals? All they did was burn a bunch of my own spiders.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Good bye all, Mysteria's line is vanquished for all time. Good luck to the vets. My worst game of the series, but I do have to say I was getting a bit burnt out on it.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Thanks for sticking with it for one last hurrah, Ling. Good games. :)
