Re: Turn 52
 

Agreed - I'll send the one this turn, and the other the turn after.

Re: Turn 52
 

I'll sell a Winged Helmet and/or a Bag of Wind! Ready to ship. Say the word. I could use the money since spies have disturbed my subjects from their productive labors.

Re: Turn 52
 

This would have been a *perfect* opportunity to use the new Marketplace section on the game's webpage!
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Really, I'm just jealous that I missed out on the opportunity.

Re: Turn 52
 

The great nation of T'ien Ch'i is willing to sell magic path boosters for any of your needs. See the marketplace for details.

Re: Turn 52
 

Well if you want to compete, offer me lower prices. At the moment I will buy from Vyrmin of Abysia for 800 gold.

Proposition 30
 

There's a new proposition over on the wiki, entitled "Expansion of the Sea War", which is, I believe, the first proposition to include a logo.

Also, there are pearls involved.

Please go <a href=http://yarnspinners.improbable.org/Wyrms/index.php?title=Proposition30>vote</a>!

Re: Proposition 30
 

I have sent my money to Abysia. Appearantly noone was intrested in my action.

Re: Proposition 30
 

I just didn't want to try to cut in on a deal that you two seemed to have already agreed on. In the future, though, you might be able to get a lively bidding war going in the marketplace.

Puffyn, very nice logo. I take pride in being the D.

Turn 52
 

Turn 52 has been sent. Machaka staled.

The next turn is due Tuesday at 8 PM EST.

ARGH! Should have been Turn 53...

Turn 54
 

Turn 54 has been sent. The next deadline is 5 PM EST on Thursday.

Re: Turn 54
 

Is the new turn sent?

Re: Turn 54
 

I did not get it, if it was. I think it is late.

Turn 55
 

Turn 55 has been sent.

It was delayed because Atlantis sent the wrong file and the Machaka file failed to work. Machaka managed to fix the file problem with a new email, but I never heard back from Atlantis. Thus, Atlantis staled, as I could not wait any longer.

The next turn is due Sunday at 5 PM EST.

Turn 56
 

Turn 56 has been sent. Caelum and Ermor both staled.

The next turn is due Tuesday at 5 PM, EST.

Re: Turn 56
 

Ygorl figured everyone (er, most everyone... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ) could use a bit of the bounty from the Well... It is y'all's misery, after all.

Re: Turn 56
 

Uh... what does the well do again? I thought you just got free gems.

(sharpening my legislation Owl Quill)

Re: Turn 56
 

It converts everyone's unhappiness into death gems. Happy subjects work harder, which is why everyone's income jumped. I thought it would be in-character for the renewed tripartite wyrm to express his gratitude to the world.

You can put down the Quill... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 56)
 

I'm sorry folks to say that, but I must
request for the game to be put on hold! I'm looking for a replacement player for Machaka !

Atm. I'm self-employed and I'll have to undergo some minor surgery soon. Ambulant, I hope. Nevertheless, my working shedule is already messed up, and I can't simple take a sick-leave from several projects I'm committed to.

As you may have noticed, I already had some stale turns, either from being unable to do the turn in time because of acute pain attack or being under pain killers, or because I was simply still doing some serious work which got delayed.

Especially unfortunate is the fact that writing all the diplomatic messages I intended to send around turns out to be real hard work which I can't bear atm.. You may have noticed English isn't my first language, and to write elaborate treatises, carefully worded diplomatic messages or simply role-playing on the wiki board is not that easy for me.

Again, I'm sorry. But the only alternative would be to turn the nation over to the AI, which I'm reluctant to do because this tends to ruin the game for the emidiate neighbours in one or the other way.

Thanks.
Stefan

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Sorry to hear, Stefan. Good luck with the surgery and hope you get better soon.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Good luck with the surgery... I hope it turns out well. Don't feel bad about the game. There are far more important things than Dominions... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Good luck with it Stefan. I'm glad to see the word "minor" - and I hope it will have make for a major improvement for you.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Looks like we don't get a replacement player soon. My suggestion:

Let someone of the players with only a handful of provinces take over for me.


Btw., thanks for your good wishes. I still have no idea how things will go on - ask 3 physicians what's wrong and you'll get 3 different answers. What is sure, though, that 2 wisdoom teeth which didn't "break through correctly" have to be dug out. I'm really looking forward to that. And maybe some more cutting &amp; poking in the maxillary antrum (looked that up for you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ) because they can't figure out if the sinusitis is allergic or not.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Is there a turn due today? I never got turn 57..

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

While Panther hasn't posted, I believe the game is on hold for reasons noted in the previous half dozen posts.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Any status update?

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

I am open to opinions on what to do. Perhaps somewyrm ought to put up a proposal. If I had some time, I might actually give it some thought!

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Over in the General forum, Shovah volunteered to take over Machaka. I don't suppose Arralen left his password with any 3rd party, though.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Perhaps, to increase the odds someone would be willing to jump in, we should propose an amendment to the Wyrm's charter granting Full Dragon Suffrage, to wit:


Proposition XX: The right of the citizens of Orania to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the Council or by any Wyrm on account of dragonhood.


That way, any sub would get the full, wyrmalicious experience of bickering about arcane rules and propsition sub-clauses that we Wyrms so enjoy.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

There is always the Master Password, a wonderful word of power that unlocks all doors. It is currently in the hands of the most honourable chancellor - that is, myself.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

I have PMed Shovah but received no answer up to now ... .

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

But the MP is a word of great temptation as well - I hate to think of it being given to a player, as they can then look at all nations turns. (Possibly not so big a deal with pbem, not having access to all turn files.)

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Yup, any player with the Master Password should not get any other .trn file. A slightly more drastic approach would be to systematically send individual mails to all players, so that nobody has access to any other .trn file (that would prevent a "hey nice replacing player, care to tell me that Master Password?" situation). So long as it *isn't* TCP/IP, the Master Password can be used to "recover" lost problems; in TCP/IP, it won't do much good, unless TCP/IP servers create logs somewhere.

There should be other ways to work around the problem (getting the files from FTP/HTTP, say), but the basic principle remains the same. Not that it will be necessary this time around.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

At a week from the last turn, it seems shovah isn't taking Machaka over. There's a limit to how long a game can be kept on hiatus and still have all the players around and interested, so it seems like something ought to be decided.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

He has taken over.
Just heard from him 1.5 hours ago that he finally got the unzipping of the files to work ok.

Guess he's reading the messages and notes now and looking into the turn.

So the game should go on within short time.

See you, folks, and have fun !

Stefan

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

just recently got it to work, what email do i send my turn to?

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Panther @ cox.net

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

and just to be sure what file do i send (please dont go technical on me)

is it .2h or .trn

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Send the ".2h" file - easy way to remember it, is that it stands for what you send "to host".

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

ok

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

Welcome, shovah, and good luck...

Panther, what's the status of the new turn?

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

I have been out of town since Wendesday, but I am home now. I did check email a couple of times (but not the forum) while I was gone to keep up with things.

I am still waiting on a turn file from Shovah. It never came through.

Re: Please hold the game, seek replacement (Turn 5
 

ive resent it, hope it works

Turn 57
 

Turn 57 has been sent. The game is underway again with the old schedule of Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 5 PM Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5). Also, please note that the time will change to daylight savings time in a couple of weeks, which will be GMT-4 (or GDT-5).

The next deadline is Tuesday at 5 PM EST.

Re: Caelum available
 

When is it hosted. I can't play my turn before tuesday unless I find CB 5.0 somewhere.

Re: Caelum available
 

I emailed you the 5.0 CB complete file. Let me know if it works properly.

Re: Turn 57
 

And there was much rejoicing! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Turn 57
 

... and much knashing of teeth, trying to remember passwords.

Turn 58
 

Turn 58 has been sent. The next deadline is Thursday at 5 PM EST.

Re: Turn 58
 

if anyone is looking for bloodslaves pm me

Re: Turn 58
