Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Oh, heh, the first post says that it hosts every day at 24:00 EST. My bad. But, it's 23:14 here in CST, so I assume it should've updated already? Is there something wrong?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Okay it is now 0:19 here in CST so I assume the server is broken or something. As you can tell i am a bit eager to get the game on!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rant.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I think it hosts 24:00 EST in the case that not all turns are submitted. It should be auto-hosting in the case everyone is done.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I apologize for the server not hosting right away. It should be hosting at exactly 24:00 from now on. I made a mistake on the host config and accidently reset all of the host schedules. They are reset now.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Is it on auto-host?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Obviously not, since everyone is finished their turn and it is not hosting. Is there a reason for that kdawg? I guess it does make the hosting intervals more regular, but it slows the game down a bit too.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

It's not on auto-host. I know that some people like to play a little and then pick it up later and play a little more (including me). If everyone wants to put it on auto-host we can do that, but for the time being it'll be hosted at midnight.

I'm a true new player so I like to pick up the manual and read about spells I'm researching, nations I'm going to fight, compare statistics on units I'm going to face...

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Oh that's cool then. I was just curious.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I can't belive it! I had a problem and
I couldn't connect so I told my brother to play 1 turn for my
so I wouldn't stale,and he did everything he shouldn't have done, he ruined my game! its gonna be a tough game!
Ay yo, by the way do we have any teams or something like that?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Executor - don't be pesimistic. I was too taken by suprise in how strong the independents are and did not design my pretender accordingly. It will be a tough start.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Yeah I [censored] up badly on my pretender as well. Anyway executor there are no teams aside from the ones you want to make through diplomacy.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Server knocked out for an hour or two. It's back up.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Quiet game threads suck! Anyone care to do any speculating based on the score charts?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Looks like Ryleh lost a province or two, probably to a bad event since we don't have anyone else in the water to contest him yet. Which is probably bad since he'll be crazy strong later in the game!! He's already doing fairly well in the rest of the graphs....ugh...I hate water nations! Is MA Ryleh as crazy ridiculous as LA? Hopefully not or we might all be screwed.

Mictlan was curious about my income, lol, I can see why. My graph's going crazy. I've been alternating between under / overtaxing my main province for little boosts of gold that are really important at this point in the game. The unrest goes down quickly enough if you patrol too. It's an interesting little strategy I thought I'd share with you guys free of charge. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif The only other speculation I've got is that Pangaea is probably using his god to research. Other than that everything looks shipshape. Any thoughts / clarifications on what you guys have been up to??

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Haha actually I got pretty unlucky in my starting position. Im in a tiny landlocked pond with 1 water province. I've managed to get my god to the big body of water to the south tho. And thats not an unlucky event, it was Shinuyama attacking me. Not much I can do at the moment with my terrible land army.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Haha, why pay for the spies if you can get the info for free here, right? ;-)

Anyway, I think those who advance quickly on the graphs now spent their points on awake combat pretenders, and will suffer later in the game. I just saw one passing by, leaving a nice trail of provinces cleared of indies :-)

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

I wonder if Pangaea could have researched blade wind by now?
Anyways I have a preposition for you all, team up with me
and I'll tell you who to attack till I'm the only one left,sounds fair whatca say?
And, does anyone else think the population in all land is very low, or is it just in my lands, couse it just isn't fair when you have a pop. of 2000 in a farmland, and belive me thats the most pop. i have in all my land (beside the main).

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Heh kamamura, its not like anyone is giving away sensitive information. And if they did I didn't force them to! They have every right to keep whatever they want a secret... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I've got a couple lands with 8k-10k population, Executor, I guess you just got unlucky. It is usually pretty tough to find high population lands for me; however, in one single player game I found two provinces with like 20k+ pop.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Nothing that could not be fixed with burden of time and Ermor Dominion :-)

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

BTW the situation starts to be a bit explosive. Does someone bordering me (Ulm, Pangaea) want to negotiate demarcation lines or a NAP?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Ulm claims no territory as it's own save the ones bordering it's own province. Those that breach Ulm's capital neighbors will find a army of black steel swiftly to oust the invaders. Ulm does not seek to expand towards the border of Shinuyama just yet, so advance no further and you will not be advanced upon.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Fair enough! Let's see how we can live along each other ;-)

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Is there a faster way to send and recive a message from other nations, 1 turn till you send, 1 till he recives, 1 till he replies... I mean thats just too slow for me

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Yes it is. You can PM them here.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Pangaea looks like he's going to stale for the second time in a row. Hopefully he'll let us know if he had to bail on the game, one more turn and I'll switch him to AI.

Edit: Server is back up, 1am EST I will host.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Did pangaea stale again or not?
Oh, and by the way,
Gowb I need a response fast, or there might be trouble...

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Pangaea staled again. I'll be putting him to AI if he stales tonight.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Great, luckily I'm next to him so i'll get his lands allmost without a fight... lol

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Pang turned in his turn last night, so we'll keep him aboard http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Hooray!!

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Well, he staled again. I'm putting him to AI. Sorry Pangaea http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif It's not fair to the rest of us if folks get to walk over your territory without a fight.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Is there any reason the game has been set to 127 hours until it hosts?!

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Apologies, guys...I went camping last weekend and didn't have internet for a couple days. I managed to connect for my PBEM game, but couldn't connect to the network for this. Good luck to the AI in my absence!

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

I'm having a BIG comp. problem,I've played this turn and I was wondering if we could switch next turn to 48 hours, becouse I won't be able to play tomorow (april 6), but I will fix it by monday.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Okay lets take the day off, next hosting sunday at midnight

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Uh, why take today off ? It looks like everyone is finished their turn. He even said he managed to play this turn. He wants to switch the next turn to 48 hours tho.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Oh and the server seems to be down http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

I'm taking over for Executor. His computer is completely dead. From now on PM me for anything concerning Mictlan.

P.S. Man remove your unrest increasing spies from my lands.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

I must have misunderstood, looks like we'll host it tonight regardless.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

I'm not aware of any spies... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Selling: Dwarven Hammers (+25% less gem resources when forging). Ten Fire Gems, Twenty of any other kind of gem, or 750 gold. PM or message ULM in game.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

I resign, I switched to AI control. Thanks and goodbye.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Why did you resign? It's far from over

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Some folks for whatever reason prefer to resign! It's not the most honorable thing to do, but it's something we have to deal with. Me? I will kill as many of the false gods as I can before I'm beat http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Kamamura seems to give up really easily, or at least he also threw in the towel at the first sign of defeat in the other game I'm in with him.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Was just informed that the company that hosts my server that it may be going down for a few hours today. Will keep you all updated.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

The server is down. I finished my turn but can't upload it. It's 2am here now and I'm going to bed. I request that the turn is prolonged so that I upload it tomorrow morning (GMT+1 time). This is a very bad time for me to stale.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

The server is still down and I'm going to work now. If the server becomes operational during the day, please postpone the hosting, so that I can send the turn in when I come back home.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

My apologies, the server is restarting now, and the turn will be postponed until tomorrow at midnight. Sorry about that.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

I'm willing to buy a crystal matrix. PM me with your offers if any.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Four people will stale tonight so I am just going to postpone hosting until tomorrow at midnight.
