Thanks, Valerius. It looks like he made if after all. :)

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

C'tis needs some more time for this turn so I've postponed hosting for 24 hours.

This has been a quiet thread recently but from what I can see you've got a close game here, with none of the five remaining nations out of the running.

Also, when I was postponing hosting I noticed the only stale was Mictlan's last turn (but he's back this turn). If anyone needs more time, especially over holidays, please don't hesitate to ask.

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

Since I've been at war with Pythium the entire game basically and we are both still hammering away at each other, which from what I understand is pretty rare, I've actually been considering writing up the game from my side turn by turn as an AAR with screenshots...

Does anyone know of a good place to do so...

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

Hey, Nightfall, that would be snazzy! I would even pay $1 to read such an AAR. ($2 if there are really good pictures.)

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

Nightfall, I'd be interested in an AAR as well! 1 vs. 1 wars going all game are somewhat unusual but even more so are situations where both parties are still in contention this late in the game. Usually these kind of wars (though they can be quite fun) end up draining the strength of the combatants while other nations leap ahead.

While this is technically the MP & AAR subforum, I'm sure you've noticed not many AARs actually get posted. I'm not sure how well the forum software handles formatting, but in any case the character limit per post and the fact that you can only edit the first post in a thread would probably make it frustrating for posting a detailed AAR. Not sure what a good place would be, though. Maybe the Dom3mods or Something Awful forums (though I understand the latter requires a membership fee)?

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

Yeah, for the SA forums you need to pay $10 for a lifetime membership (excluding archives). It seems there's a large Dom3 following with a bunch of excellent AAR's already. I'm sure you'll get a lot of attention and some good feedback over there.

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

Hey all, I'm away between the 23rd and 1st, and may not be able to send in turns, does anyone mind if we delay for a while over the holidays?

By the way, I've started writing up my turns as an AAR in word format, I think I'll upload them to a host and link to them from a post in this forum when I'm ready.

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

It's certainly customary to delay hosting as needed at this time of year. The next hosting is scheduled for 6:05 GMT Wed. Nightfall, do you think you'll be able to send in one more turn before you leave?

Looking forward to it! :)

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

Yeah, that should be okay.

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
 

Nightfall's turn is in but since he won't be back until the 1st there's no need to rush this turn (which is currently set to host in the middle of this holiday weekend). So I've postponed hosting 3 days. The hosting after this will be postponed until the 2nd.
