I vote for graphs off, mostly because I'm not used to that and want a little change.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Okay, we will have graphs off and remain on the Cradle.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

The version of cradle we're using has the mangled terrain masks fixed, yes?

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Haven't looked into it yet Dr. P. Is that the "Edi's fix" one?

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Can llamabeast update the first post so that I kniow where to send my pretender.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

llamabeast has done so.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

strange, I could swear that he had not done that. Seems like I have two Late Caelum.. is there a easy way to determine which is the latest?

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

He did it just now.

What do you mean? The pretender files? You will probably have one called late_caelum_0.2h and another called late_caelum_1.2h. late_caelum_1.2h is the more recent one (and late_caelum_2.2h would be more recent again, etc.).

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

sounds easy enough.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Hope that was the right pretender.

I might be missing cradle on my windows comp. Where do I find an updated version?

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

I definitely do not have cradle.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

I will upload it when I start the game then.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Okay, we're missing pretenders from:

Patala - Yucky
Mictlan - quantum_mechani
Ulm - Sir_Dr_D
Atlantis - SqueekyDragon

I'll PM them.

Okay, all pretenders are now in. Unfortunately I won't have a chance to start the game till tomorrow night now. But then we will be off! Sorry about the delays.

Looks like you need to PM yourself. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

I just did. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Actually I was hoping it would arrive before I finished posting, but obviously the interweb is being slow at delivering my e-mail.

You see, it is impossible to have power without abusing it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Actually it turned out I had sent it to the wrong address. Then I sent it again, without putting 'Sloth' in the subject line. Third time lucky!

D'oh!

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

The game page http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Sloth still shows as waiting for Pythium.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Yeah, third time was also unlucky as it happened. I'd forgotten there was a problem with LA Pythium (the files are called pythium.2h, not late_pythium.2h in line with other nations) which foxes the server (I really should fix it), so I'll just submit it manually when I start the game.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Okay, we're started!

I've attached the quickfix mod to the first post for convenience. I don't think anyone will need the map graphic as it comes with Dominions, but I can attach it here if necessary.

Good luck all!

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Oh, there are 48 hours for the first turn, just in case (I hope we won't come anywhere near using them). After that we're on 24 hours, until people want it extended to 48 hours (I hope we can get a fair way into the game on 24 hours).

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Hmm, got carried away there.

I actually intended to say that I'm away during thursday for a day-trip to Stockholm. I hope I will return in time to finish my turn, but I'll be gone from early morning to late evening, so I'm nort sure.

...the All-Seeing One, called Godslayer in an age long ago, briefly stirs upon his bed of light. Those who have wisdom, no matter what their power, have learned to quell their voices at such a time; lest he wake fully, unzip the universe, step out of eternity into time, and once again drench himself with the blood of lesser beings...

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Lord he was of tongue and speech,
Of earthy knowledge and dark caverns,
Hundred years he did listen to the rocks,
Thousand years did he hearken to stone,
Centuries of worthy wisdom,
Came to him this way.

The verseful god contemplated,
Thought it through thoroughly, quite precisely,
As he wandered far across fenlands,
As he scoured brushy sedgelands,
Journeyed through quiet heathlands.

Thought the god abruptly:
"Sloth is so abundant in this place,
Disorder yet more ample.
I know the ways of power,
Of taking and of holding.
And if I have a wisp of principle,
If I do believe in the truth,
Should the earth and sky not be mine?"

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

There once was a pretender from Mictlan
He declared 'All jaguars shall be quickened!'

But then he considered
'While these jaguars skitter,
with flaming weapons they'd do much better'

So they were blessed double
Fighting indies no trouble
And that's how a pretender abused balance unsubtle

The foolish vampire count who sought to snuff out the birth of the --- Empire That Shall Rule The World --- now lies permanently dead beyond our city walls. Let that be a lesson on those who dare to face us.


--- K, nub here, I can't for the life of me figure out the purpose of LA TC's ceremonial master. Is he that good at preventing bad events? Theres no icon so I can't tell.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

He's mostly a remnant and a survival of an earlier age of splendour http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

He is also able to cast Voice of Apsu and has the highest chances of any of your mages to go to A2 for Auspex, so even if he looks strange, he can increase your gem income by a lot.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

He is?

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

He should be.*

*did i miss something?

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Just so you all know, I postponed hosting so KO wouldn't stale because of his day trip.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

The people of Emor are looking for death gems. After the, uh, underwhelming response to our first offer we're now paying 25 gold for each death gem. Let us know what you have!

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

I will be away over the weekend and would like hosting to be postponed.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Okay.

Could I just ask that people PM me if they have adminy things they'd like me to do? It's easy to miss things in all the different game threads. That said, I am reading this one properly, being in the game myself.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

hmm... I thought hosting time and such was handled by the game owner, who I would guess was KO since he announced the game.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Yep, it is handled by the game owner/admin- but that's me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

I'd just like to say that I'm very proud right now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Remember to stomp Abysia, who pretends to be Krisfotter. Or was it the other way round? Stomp, any way.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Whats wrong with the ginseng? I drink ginseng tea here after dinner, most agreeable.


I have decided that the ceremonial master really IS just for ceremony. The celestial master on the other hand. Fear him! Fear him well! Once I learn how to cast communions without killing all my slaves that is...

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Kill all your slaves is the best part of a communion!

I share with you my personal motto: all of my troops are toilet paper, you are free to use them up if you wish.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

KO has a broken modem, so he is out of touch with the internet for a few days until he receives a new one.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

That's unfortunate. Okay, postponed by a further 72 hours to give KO time to modem hunt. I'll postpone it further if it takes him longer (probably will, I guess).

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

Thanks, he says he'll play 2 turns tomorrow, so it should make some progress then.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

I'd like to request switching to 48hr or at least 36 hr turns if possible for the next 2 weeks at least. I'm jetting off on a trip (with my laptop!) and I may need a bit more time to find internet connection to send my turns.

Sorry for the possible delays!
