Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Stupid windowed version doesnt put the text under the curser. I clicked quit and it did start instead. Apologies.
(maybe add nostart)

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

I just added nostart, it was my bad http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

StrictlyRockers - game crashed while you were uploading, please upload again so I can start?

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

I hope stricrly rockers didn't leave when it looked like we were starting without him http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

I'll give him until 10:20. I hate to start without him since he *was* here, but if he's gone now there's not much I can do.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

done

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

he's here, start whenever, you are wasting valuable blitzing time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

And we are go!

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Um..... or not.

Restarting server....

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

I'm having a little bit of trouble getting in now.

"Waitng for game info..."

Because we are all trying to get in at once, perhaps?

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Maybe, not sure.

Anyway it's working now.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

I'm getting hung up on a black screen after I select my nation.

I saved the maps earlier.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

From my end you appear to be logged on.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Okay, I'm restarting the server one more time.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Got in, things just are working more slowly than I'm used to. Maybe someone is downloading the map from you server. And I see I just nagot'ed...

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

The problem might be a routing issue.

If this doesn't resolve in the next five minutes, I'll switch to my other IP address.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Looks like the gang's all here.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

I assume that the map is on its merry way across the pond - probably delaying WSZ a few minutes.

I have no idea why everything is so slow today. Probably a Columbia network issue - everyone was on vacation last week.

If it becomes intolerable I have another connection which is ordinarily somewhat slower but hopefully this'll work out.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

And we are go! Good luck, everyone.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

And another turn is up. *pokes WSZ*

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

How many turn are we going to blitz?

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Until people get bored and want to leave? Or until people feel like a few minutes is not long enough to take a turn - whichever comes first.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

it would be nice to speed up things with a 5 min turn timer

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Ordinarily I would, but I'm worried about connection issues. Things seem to have worked themselves out but since the problems appear to be near my end, I want to give people some slack.

Also, forcing stupid mistakes early in the game (like forgeting to recruit or something) is not what I had in mind.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Seems to be working smoothly now.

Waiting on Man again.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

did we end up with mods or special provinces?
Map is ugly but the wrap is cool. And seamless

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

I rather like the map - I suppose it helps that my favorite colors are tope and fluorescent green.

My main concern with the map was legibility - it's immediately obvious, from any distance, what the provinces *are*.

There are no special provinces or mods.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

I do like this map better that the semi-random one. That one blew my eyes out!

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Indeed, the semi-random map needed a few turns to get used to it.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

The purple dots are to make where everyone is?
Thanks for that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Yeah, took a minute to get used to but I like how you can tell at a glance what all the terrain types are. And it's DEFINITELY not as ugly as the semi-random. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

The purple dots are start locations, yeah.

But you could tell from the VP crowns anyway.

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

That's a first, an independent ninja just wacked my priest! (at least according to the battle report, he was an independent...)

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

It's a great map to use. I like the wrap. The colors are hideous, though. That green hurts my eyes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif hehe

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

JayThomas, I think that ninja was not independent. Then again, if you would be a ninja, would you wear the colours of your nations?

Re: 11p very large (ONE SLOT OPEN, SUNDAY AT 10AM
 

Ok, the colors are starting to grow on me, but only a wee bit.

When I first saw my position, I thought "Darn, stuck in the middle." Then I realized everyone is in the middle on a wrap-around map. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif haha

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

Real-life duty calls, so I am afraid I need to call it quits for the blitz. I'll send the orders for turn 10 today, but need to leave the blitz for now.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

Darn. Ah well, RZ. If ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

**** that. I cleared my day for this.
I wonder if I can get back in on those other plans

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

Sorry, WT. Communication wasn't 100% clear.

Anyhoo - right now we've got a 24h quickhost.

I'll lengthen the host interval on request, or turn it off for periods of people are traveling, in jail, etc.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

well we *almost* managed 10 turns.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

Turn 10 is in! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Racoon.gif[/img]

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

Turn 11 all in two hours later, except for Arco and Mictlan.

Edit - It looks like Mictlan is doing their turn right now.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

All but two done w/turn 12. We are rocking along.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

How about we add this game to the ladder? I know it is a little late now, but nor is the game decided yet.

I think the ladder will be a great opportunity to get an overview of games played once people start using it.

http://wikihost.org/wikis/dom_ladder/wiki/start

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

Do I have to add it as the host? If not, go ahead and add it. If I have to be one that adds it, I'll add it later.

--TNDP

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

It is just that I would not feel comfortable with adding games without peoples consent.

I will add the game and players now, and people are welcome to come and write a short introduction to them self if they wish.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

Shouldn't ladder be something that is part of the games description at the beginning so people can decide if they want to join? I wouldn't have been so experimental in my setup if I had known it was a ladder game.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

The ladder is just a measurement on how well people do. It should not be taken to serious. I hope that the ladder will be used in all games so that it is a more accurate measurement.
It is not meant to make people play differently. Also I hope that people will use that Wiki to comment on their games and share their strats.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
 

You hope. But you know that people will start pointing to it and saying "see? Gandolf sucks and Quantum rules!". I think people will want to separate their serious ladder games from their experimental fun games. It is not cool to have your don't give a [censored] game end up on the ladder after the fact.
