Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Ok, if there are no objections, i'll try to get in touch w/ Sheap - but its very unlikely this can be done in time for this turn, which will go ahead and host by 3-4 pm EST or so.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Weird. A global is reported as going up, but doesn't show in the list of global enchantments. Does this mean Vanheim's caster died the turn he casted it? Bad luck to cast Gift of Health if so. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

no, it was a bug. also ulm's "mechanical militia" mysteriously disappeared at the same time - though it is conceivable (if rather far-fetched) that ctis dispelled it. Who else would bother?

also, quantum's on the case of trying to contact sheap to get the turn length increased - but there are no guarantees that it will be done this turn, so pay attention ;p

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Hmmm... looks like the server's down.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

back up. 48hr QH.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

New turn.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

I've put in a request for hosting to be moved to 60 hrs. During the workweek, I'm just not going to have quite enough time to respond to all the evil invaders

Poor, peaceful Vanheim... ;p

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Water-queen killer.

Uh, 60 hours sounds fine to me. Especially with Truper going all, "Aaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiii, I'm crazy!" it won't be many turns before your domination is complete anyway.

Actually, I have complete faith that with a little more time to plot my dastardly plots I shall emerge victorious. All hail the fish.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Muhahahaha!

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

yah, you disrupted my assaults on QM's two castles though. So while my losses against the WQ's themselves were low, I then didn't have flying castle assault troops and lost a ton of vine ogres ; )

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Wow. That was some wild battle - I lost my army, except for a handful of my most valuable mages, but won and destroyed some serious moolah in abysian troops and SCs. As is often the case, the mortal troops routed...

of course i had one of my SCs killed by his stupid cyclops, in a different battle, so the turn certainly wasn't all wine and roses

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Why has the timer been reset? At... a week? between turns, the game is not worth playing.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

The game is pretty much over, right? I enjoyed smacking around Archeo's god, but I don't think there's much long term hope.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Welp, it depends. But if folks want to pack it in, it would be ok with me.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

sorry i had ironhawk reset it for 72 hrs - the game's still entertaining, but a lot of work - and i'm worried about next month, since I have 3 11-12 hr days in a row and if a turn falls square over all 3 of them...

that was good work there sedna; I really flaked on throwing my pretender in like that w/out fatigue support.

If you all went against me I'd probably lose just because I couldn't handle the micromanagement http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif - I'm open to a "pantheonic victory" if people want; or we can slog it out some more. I've put the hurt on abysia finally, at least.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Heh. I'm open to a pantheonic victory, as long as Man (whose quasit, er, moloch, has been sitting on my capitol the last 20 turns) isn't part of the pantheon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

My game was over long ago - but I've made sure his was too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

i believe we'd set aside a fairly ample valley where you two can battle for all eternity, like the manichaean kirks.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Mine was over from turn 1 on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif. At least i know now that i extremely dislike Man LoT.
I never had more income than about 350 gold, not much you can do with that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif.

But good job surviving Caine. Pan is really a pain to finish you showed me in this game and even more in Götterdämmerung where Aku couldn't finish you neither for the whole game.

I would vote for Archeo declaring winner but since my nation is so small i see my vote insignificant and would suggest that we should follow what the 4 major nations Oceania, Vanheim, Abysia and Tien Chi suggest.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

i'll get my turn in this evening.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Well, here's what I'm thinking. For the past 10 or 15 turns, we've been running right up to the deadline on the timer, whatever the timer is set at. This indicates to me that people regard playing their turns as a chore, rather than something enjoyable. I check in every 12 hours or so, to see if there's a new turn, and unless its after the expiry of the timer, the answer is always no. Since the slower a game goes, the less interest I have in it, I vote we just call it off.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

People also wait til the last moment to keep the clock from creeping forward when it's running QH - one of many bad things about QH as the game runs on.

Not sure if we've been on QH or not, but I think we have.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

ok guys, i haven't forgotten about you all - its just been a killer week, and i've had to take any leeway i could get

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

yes yes, the long awaited new turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Ah, so close to victory in storming that castle. I love the nether darts (to bring down MR) + enslave mind combo on SCs. I would have won too, if not for those meddling skeletons.

But seeing, as I still managed to lose... I'm prefectly fine calling it quits. I think everyone who's written in so far agrees- though we have yet to here from puffyn.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

that was another expensive victory for me - yeah, the nether darts were sweet; but i decided to scrape together what i could to hold onto that castle. It was one close fight, no doubt.

I'm still enjoying the game; it's just that i can barely get in the moves http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

OTOH, i would have wiped out your retreaters if not for that meddling T'ien Chi. I guess Trupe feels protective about your water queen, or something... ;p

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

I can take or leave this game right about now, being a bit busy these days and also realizing Vanheim is regrettably well poised. Can't seem to get supercombatants to last more than a few turns of combat these days, but otherwise things aren't entirely hopeless... and I don't want to call it quits if someone out there is still enjoying it.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Hmm. I came to the thread because we're 14 minutes away from both Abysia and Oceana staling. I expected to find that folks had decided to fold. I am ok with playing on, especially as I don't have another game going at the moment.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

hey, i offered to let you take vanheim if you wanted...

yah, puffyn and sedna staled. Its all good http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

anyways, its been a fun game. I've been impressed w/ the new kids ;p as they have a firm grasp of the basics - and if puffyn had had a bit of luck in his attacks, things would be somewhat different.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Heh, totally forgot about actually playing my turn as opposed to just talking about it, hence the stale... I also regret that my attacks were almost uniformly luckless http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Congrats, archaeo, on your victory.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

I'm still happy to get some more turns in, since I have my nefarious plans still unfulfilled; however, I can see how puffyn and sedna are not currently a sufficient military obstacle.

if not, good game all.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Hey, Pangaea still awaits its rise to pre-emimens! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Poor little Pangaea. So harmless and friendly.

Sorry about that stale. I figured it was the last thing Vanheim would expect me to do... a brilliant plan really.

I think we're being very indecisive about finishing this game. Or... are we?

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Well, I got my turn in, in at least a half-assed way. But it looks like Puffyn is about to stale again. I'd say he thinks we're done, as he congratulated Arch on his victory.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

hey, i'm up for batting away the inordinate number of wolves who seem to like visiting my lands http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

You think you can take my wolves? You and what Ghost Rider army?!

Oh, yeah, that one...

Well, come under water and say that again!

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Ugh, yeah, sorry, between being sick and travelling I just have not been keeping up with the end game. I'll go turn myself AI and let y'all duke it out if you so desire...

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Well, I guess I'd like to keep the game running, unless we start a new one, that is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

One with victory conditions, so we can avoid this "play on or not?" wishy-washyness we have going now. I'm still having some fun.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Yeah lets start a new game. I can try Ctis then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Keep me in mind for your next game. I should have time for dom2 again come next week (the 14th)!

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

heh - went fishin' and fished me up some right good grub ;p


Puffyn - good game.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Hey there was a power outage at the server and I need to restart your game. I can't remember how many hours you were using on your host schedule, tho. If you want me to actually restart it, let me know. Otherwise perhaps this is a good point to call the game, given that people are so-so on playing?

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

new turn just started, so you can restart w/ full hrs no prob - as to whether the game is still goind, everyone except boron got in their turns ... I don't think i can be stopped, though : )

oh, it was 72 hrs btw

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Yeah i was affected by the crash. I will get my turn in when the server is up again if the server is up again in the next 2 hours, otherwise it will have wait till tomorrow.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

heh, no the 72 hr hosting was well before the crash; you just staled ;p

ironhawk, pls do start it up again - i'm sure people want to see their turns; maybe continue for a while, maybe not.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Server still down. Is the game ended or will the server be back in the near future ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Oh, the game is over, and has been since about the time Huzur folded. But unless we actually get a new one organized, this still provides some entertainment.

Its horrifying that anyone as good as Arch is also as lucky as he is.

Re: Truper\'s Revenge - #Dominions - Shahrivar_rev
 

Server is back up. Sorry about the delay, I didnt see that you'd posted in this thread. PM's get my attention faster http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
