Heres what I mean by bad timming. Lets say I come home from school at 2:00 on monday. I take my turn(and asumming I was the last) the game hosts. I check before I go to bed at lets say 10:00, if the game has hosted again, I take my turn, if not I check again tomorrow. But on tuesdays I get home at 2:50. So it has already been 24 hours.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Well it turns out I have been turned to AI. So I guess I am already the first to lose in my 2nd/3rd mp game.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Golly gee. I guess there just wasn't any way for you to ... spend 5 minutes doing the next turn right after you took your turn and it hosted? It's not like the early game requires any huge amount of time or work.

Then you would have had 48 hours to spare before you needed to get the next turn in, and the game would've hosted as soon as all the others did their turns, instead of everyone having to wait for you yet again.

Even if you caused it to host at 2, you say you checked at 10. Any reason you couldn't, didn't, take your turn then?

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

And incidentally, if you took your turn at 2 and the game hosts - why check again at 10 to see if it's hosted. It ain't gonna host until after you do your next turn and upload it, or until you staled again.

Okay, I made a fool of myself there, that was badly phrased and it was an example, not what I actuly did, because that would have been retarted. All I know is that several times, I got my turn in close, or missed it. In the first couple turns

I had thought we were on 48, only too be told we are were on 24, and only now to be told we were on 48.

Cainhill, besides missing 6 turns, I do not see what I did no enflame you so much. I think, as a new player, in my first, along with the fareun game, there would be some considiration. Instead all I get is you being sarcastic, and being kicked out of the game with out being given a chance to reform.

Cainhill, you have made this game, my first IP game, a very unenjoyable expeirience for me.

Cainhill, I hope, that when you play with future beginners, you are more considerite of them.

Cainhill, I hope that from this game, you learn, as I have and will.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Ah, the : "* 25 Hour QH : Will be slowed down to 49 hour or some such as the game progresses and people want it." in the original post led you to believe it was 48 hour hosting. I see. And of course, it displaying "24 hours until next hosting" each time you were the last person to do your turn would also have made it seem like it was a 48 hour game.

All the posts, including your own, from about the 7th of June saying "24 hour", ditto.

Most significantly, you were given chances to reform. On the 13th, I posted about you being the only person the game was waiting on, and you staled. On the 14th, same thing. On the 15th, you said "Oops, I didn't know the game was on 24 hour hosting." On the 18th you staled again, and I believe you staled between the 15th and 18th at least once.

So on the 19th I posted that I was asking Ironhawk to set you to AI because of repeated, ongoing, post-discussion staling. You then posted that you didn't appreciate it, but never did you say "damn, sorry, I'll do better in the future". Instead you posted excuses, and examples that I demonstrated to be invalid.

Now, it's a shame you found the game, or rather the experience, unenjoyable. It's also a shame that you kept ignoring your obligation to the other players. And it'll be a shame if you don't learn from this experience, and start accepting that it's largely your own responsibility that you got booted, just as you'd be booted if you got into a game of Risk or Monopoly and wanted to wander away and not take your turns promptly, thus holding the game up for the other players.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

So I staled the:
13th
14th
15th
and some time "between 15 and the 18th", which I am pretty sure I did not stale, and I Know at least once of those times I made it in 49mintues before hosting, so it may have looked like I staled.

I thought you said you booted me for missing 6 turns, which now look like 3 or 4.

Also, I accepted that you where booting me, though I did say I was upset, as I am sure most new players would be. The reason I posted why I missed the turns, was not as an excuse, but because Pasha Asked:

Why do you keep missing turns, Ribbonblue? If we actually switch to 48h quickhost, would you be able to take your turns?

I agree with you Cainhill, it would be a shame if I did not learn from this expeireince. Which I have.

Cainhill, not every one understands this game, and the workings of it as well as you do, especialy new players. Not every one is as smart as you. You treated me in these posts in such a demeaning way, I cried twice, each time I read what you have written. You have a mean and sarcastic edge to your writting, or maybe its just me

All I know is that reading your posts hurt me, that may or may not have been your objective, but it did, and someday, I hope you remedy this or learn to treat people with more consideration.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

No, your staling was posted about on those dates - you had already staled in the first three turns, and I tend to post about staling on occasions when I had been connected and observing who, if anyone, staled.

Between this twisting of the facts and the bit about crying twice, I'm getting the impression of a precocious child who has had too much success emotionally manipulating her parents and other adults. Don't worry - you've no doubt got a legion of sympathetic folks now who have been reminded that I'm a monster.

If I'm mistaken, my apologies for having been so callous as to communicate with you as though you were a mature human being, capable of being responsible for their words and actions.

And that, folks, is the last I have to say in response. I do believe there is an ignore functionality on these forums; I'll look to use it, and hope that those others who find me too cold and sarcastic will use it as well.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Okay, so I did stale 6 times, I was just going off what you had said, I do not see how that is twisting the facts. How do you use ignore?
