Would you guys be up for changing the hosting interval to 48 hours? There are really only three of us left (sorry pythium), so it will probably go faster, but it would leave us all a little flexibility.

Fine with me, having fun even though my forces are outclassed for the moment...

Hanging in there by being a sneaky s.o.b.

:)

I thought I was the one that was outclassed. It's definitely been interesting. Especially trying to fight on 4 different fronts at once.

I also have a very real respect for Abyssia's PD after this game. I don't think I really appreciated how powerful getting an F2 mage with your PD is.

Yep, best PD in the age, except maybe Ashdod, the salamanders are a little bit hit and miss in effectiveness, but 20 PD only costs a little more than hiring one straight out, and you get him without the aging problems.

It's still not going to repel a serious attack, but they usually cause some attrition.

Okay, extended the hosting interval to 48 hours.

Re: MP: NoobTown - MA noob game Running)

Ghaa!

My internet connection decided to take a break just as I was trying to submit prior to the deadline.

If you guys have a major objection we can just continue on, but I really don't want to have a stale turn at the point. I haven't looked at the new turn file yet. Would you mind if we just rolled back to 60 and resubmit quickly. I have the 2h ready to upload.

Re: MP: NoobTown - MA noob game Running)

I feel your pain and won't complain regardless of what we do. My only concern is I've seen other posts claim that rollbacks can really screw the game up. I haven't seen it and I don't want any stales. I would just hate to see the game screwed up. I'm in a distant 3rd anyway so whatever the 2 of you decide (sorry Pythium :D )

I replied to your PM before seeing that you had put it in the game thread as well.

I'm happy for you to copy and paste what I said into here so the others can see, I would myself but I didn't save it...

The biggest wins I had this turn were the results of my 2 teleport ambushes, which you couldn't have done anything about with your orders anyway. I'll be _really_ pissed if the results of either of these are different after a rollback.

Secondly, rollbacks have a very high chance of causing game corruption, if you do rollback and it causes _any_ corruption issues, I expect you to suck it up and forfeit the game.

While I understand how you feel about staling at this stage, in general the vets all say that it's better to just deal with it and play on.

To address these

1. So I can't guarantee that the results of your two ambushes wont be different. Obviously there are only a limited number of places in which you could ambush me where it would make a dramatic difference. I'm obviously going to do something in those locations.

2. Honestly don't see why this would be an issue. The game will be over anyway if it corrupts. Not sure why it matters who forfeits.

So if you're willing to accept #1 then we can keep going. If you're not then they seem like fairly hollow victories anyway.

I've included the private replies, as there is no reason I addressed you privately other than that was the first message I saw.

2 is an issue because you are potentially trashing the game with what is, frankly, a pretty selfish request, that puts me in an awkward position.

I'm sorry, but I simply can't condone a rollback for any reason other than for a serious game bug; as I would never ask for or expect one. I am a little confused that you don't seem to get that it's a big deal.

As a note, the staled turn wasn't entirely good for me, the fact that several of your troops didn't move when I expected them to has caused me a few problems too.
