I don't have a problem with putting it on hold for a couple days, for ya. You might want to contact whoever it was who has the power to do that and see how people feel...

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I also would not have a problem w/ putting it on hold. Or to be specific, put it on 7 day QH, or something like that. Tyrant, if you do this, make sure you don't actually stop the game, as we could lose our slot.

Also, whenever you change the options, it is possible that the game will be stopped, even if you don't do this explicitly (I believe this only happens if someone is connected while you make the change). So, whenever changing options double check to make sure the game is still running when you're done.

It is done.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I'm back, I'll do my turn in about 2 hours. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Welcome back, hope you had a nice trip.

I'll switch back to 24/QH as soon as this turn runs unless someone Posts an objection here.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I wouldn't mind switching to a 48 hr period sometime in the near future http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

You sure you don't mean that you want to keep on 6 day QH? I do believe it's been longer than that since you played a turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Hey, the guy I said to wait for attacked me as soon as he got back, I must prepare the retaliation !

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Humm, it says I had an unexplained increase in wealth. I assume this is due to alchemizing, I can assure you I don't even know how to cheat, much less have the interest in doing so.

- Kel

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Wow, your turn sure got in quickly from the post!

I don't know the details, but iirc, there is a known bug where if a high percentage of your income comes from alchemizing, then this message is generated. Most often this shows up w/ the Alchemist's Stone, but the artifact is not required to make this bug occur.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I put the game to 48 hrs. Personaly I'd prefer to stay at 24 for at least awhile longer.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I'd vote to stay at 24 for a while longer, myself.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I'd like to see it stay at 24 hr.

I apologize for my impulsive decision. I just got back from a Living Greyhawk Battle Interactive and I was still in aggressive combat mode. While staring at the screen, I could just see your minions taunting me across the border, and my insecurity led me to strike a bit hastily. I would of course be willing to cease hostility, and allow civility to prevail, now that I am back in my normal mental state. We wish to be friends with the great demonic empire! Come, I have a circle of kumbaya singers waiting for us to join them. We can use your soldiers' heat to roast marshmallows!

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

When started the game i said we would switch to 48 on majority vote. Right now it seems only Kel wants to switch, but I do not want to cause a stale turn by returning to 24 hr schedule.

So it's kinda on you atm Kel, can you handle 24, or is that going to put you in an untenable position?

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

If you want to switch it back to 24 on the next hosting, I will be ok. I just figured 48 would just be 'safer' but if noone else wants it, I am not going to stink about it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

- Kel

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Ok, switching back to 24 now, we can revist this in the future.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Alright, I am going to have to eat my words. Daily activities (plus game activities http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ) are making meeting the 24h deadline really tough and I figure if we aren't switching at turn 40'ish, probably no-one will want to later. It was stated that it was a majority vote, though, so I am completely cool with trying to find a sub ! It's a good empire and set up pretty good so I won't be passing a dog to anyone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You all know anyone who might be interested ? I would be happy to brief them on the state of affairs or whatever they need.

- Kel

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Well, i certainly would prefer to switch to 48hr rather than lose a player. Especially a good opponent!

And, truth to tell, I just barely got my turn in w/o staling this time around.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I absolutly agree, I'll change to 48hr/QH today.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I am very appreciative! However, if anyone wants to raise an objection, I completely respect the 'majority vote' that was stated beforehand and will do whatever I can for everyone to have fun.

- Kel

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

In a small game like this I would really prefer to change the schedule rather than lose a player, but sound off if you object and we'll hold a vote.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

The turn after this one i am going to put to a 5 day host for Thanksgiving, I'll put it back after that. If anyone needs me to delay immediatly for the holiday let me know.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Back to 48/qh. Hope y'all had a nice Thanksgiving!

(nice battle plan Anatoli!)

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Looks like we're heading towards the third straight stale for Abysia. Probably too late for this turn, but perhaps we should do something about this?

- Thufir

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Gah! Well that explains the score graph. I will extend the next turn by a coouple days and we will see if he checks in.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Why won't Jotun stale a couple of turns?

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I have been having some serious problems making turns (due to some RL stuff) and I apologize for that. I actually thought I could make them and, in fact, did my turns for 2 of those 3 stales but somehow I must have messed something up because when I turned them in, it just ignored them and downloaded a new, stale turn (which means, I guess, that I missed the deadline).

Kind of disappointing since I actually managed to summon an AQ and a Fire King away from my erstwhile opponent. I can make the next turn but it seems RL responsibilities are over taking me, atm. Let me know what you want me to do.

- Kel

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Heh, what we want you to do is continue having fun playing this fine game with us. The question is- can you?

Speaking for myself i'm perfectly willing to adjust the schedule so that you can continue. If we drop down to 3 day host or take a break for a week would that help? It seems likely that the coming holidays will disrupt the game to some extent in any case, and i have massive changes in my RL coming up as well, so it works for me.

Anyone else have a problem with that?

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

Honestly, I feel bad since we already had an extension and enough things are coming up that I would rather not keep being a pain the rear. I feel guilty enough as it is. The only question is do you want me to advertise for a sub or is there a better alternative ? It's a good nation and still in excellent shape.

- Kel

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

So you are saying that you cannot continue to play?

If that is the case i guess our options are AI or a replacement. What do people think?

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I think he's in a pretty good position - I would vote for trying to find a replacement. Its' probably bad for Ermor and possibly Atlantis, so I think they should decide.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I think the perfect solution is to simply have Abysia run continuous stales - that's working just great for me!

Seriously, Abysia is (at least by province count) in the #1 position, this is one case where we should find a replacement. I imagine the game is still playable w/ Abysia as AI, but it does rather muck things up.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

BTW, we're just 10hrs from hosting again - we should probably reset the clock while we're figuring this out.

Re: MP Game - 6 player Karan Map
 

I'm mostly unable to use my computer this weekend, so i am going to have to get back to this monday evening. (yoou got your wish anatoli- i staled, hehe)
