ashdod please - and pretender sent, if its not too late !

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

It's normal, chris, to ask to join a game and be accepted into it before sending in a pretender.

The decision as to whether the game is closed is of course completely up to anticipatient.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Too bad, i had it all planned out with CBM, now that it's out, I was wondering if just maybe I could change to C'tis, but It's no problem to stay Pythium If I can't.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

I'm in)
Good luck to all)))

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

I'm in.
Have a good game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

That's fine, chris http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif You are in as ashdod.

I believe the roster is up to date. Executor, I have changed you in the roster to C'tis.

I will upload my pretender and attempt to begin the game (with map Cradle of Dominions, since we have 11 -- should work) about 12 hours from the time of this post (8:00 PM @ GMT -08).

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Happy gaming everyone.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

My pretender's in. Good luck all.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Mines in.. but I guess the start didn't go?

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

no, i have not started the game yet.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

the game will be starting just as soon as i figure out how http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

edit: i think i just have to pm him and ask him to do it, which i have http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game
 

Okay, talked to llama. Should be starting up soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Hello all,

I will start the game tonight, i.e. in about 12 hours.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

What is the advantage of using PBEM?, if you don't mind me asking here.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

llama hosts it = )

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Hrmm, I just realised I actually don't know what map we're using. I get the impression perhaps Cradle, but it doesn't look like a final decision was reached. Could you let me know anticipatient? I should be able to start it during the day tomorrow no problem.

Off to bed now unfortunately. Sorry for the delay guys.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

In the interest of getting the game started, let's just play cradle. I have heard no objection and no other ideas, really. So cradle of dominion would be good.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Sounds good. Let's roll! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

AND WE HAVE STARTED!!!!!

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Wow, that was quick posting!

Indeed, just started, I hope all is well. Let me know if there are any problems.

I found an old version of Cradle that someone made for the Chinchilla game, with hand-placed starting positions for 12 players. So I used that. One of the starting positions will be unoccupied, but they should be far more evenly spread than they would be if Dominions had placed them.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Er... I just tried to play my turn but apparently I don't have a starting position or something. I don't see my home province.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Aaaaaargh. I was worried that might happen. Something wrong with the start positions then.

I will take a look and see why.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Right, I've restarted. Hopefully it will be better this time.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

looks good on my end now. Thanks llamabeast http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

I have a problem, I'm not on the map?!

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Wait, I didn't see the game restarted maybe it's OK now, sorry!

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

All is well, good luck everybody!(not really)

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

I was wondering If someone could adive me with a game I'm playing, if two players just stop playing, don't respond to posts or PM's,
the turn was due a week ago, and the server is down,
then the game is sort of over or what???

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Hmm, llama, sorry but you should check the game once more http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

First time everything was ok, I'd even done the turn and it was accepted. But after the restart I appeared... without a Pretender at all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Okay, I can't immediately see what's wrong this time, so I guess it'll have to wait till I get home and can fire up Dominions to take a look. Sorry 'bout that.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Aaaah, I see. What actually happened, alhorro, was that because in your extraordinary speed you sent back a 2h file so quickly, it actually overwrote your pretender!

Anyway, fixed, and we are restarting again right now. Hopefully 3rd time lucky!

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

And we have started... again... for the third time!
(hope there won't be a fourth!)

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Thx llama, now everything seems to be fine.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Aye, Thanks muchly llamabeast for setting up and hosting! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Many thanks to Llama indeed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

It's really strange playing without score graph, I just can't get used to it,

and by the way am I the only one surrounded by many many knights!? ( not that they're a problem, just wondering )

Sure looks too much for indie 7

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

On other matters:

I am in Chicago from Friday till Sunday.

I am not expecting to delay the game. My positions in all games will be capably handled by Mark Montero.

I am going to down the servers Thursday night at midnight, to give them a fresh reboot, and to install some remote management software.

That way if something happens while I'm away, there will be at least the possibility of resolving the problem remotely.

Best to all


Chris

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Alright chris, see you back on Sunday or Monday. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

We have met a neighbor.. we send over an emissary.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Hmmm yes. Someone sent me an ... emissary. But since he came under the cover of darkness, and skulking about.

We ate him.

And what do you know! Lizard DOES taste like chicken.

Chickens, er lizards are welcome to send more, um, emissaries.

Of course, Ashdod hews to the beliefs of our forefathers. Eating our enemies, we gain their strengths. We shall have to think about this. WE do not want to taste like chicken.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

I don't think he was referring to you, but yes you ate my... chicken,

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif sadface

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Indeed.. my emissary is having tea and crumpets. No chicken or lizard.

Re: New MA game (PBEM) -- Name Tigerstripes
 

Fortunately, I had the foresight to make it clear to Ashdod that we giants of Jotunheim have very little in common with chickens, and furthermore, though we may be related, we taste nothing like their forefathers.

Re: New MA game
 

Did anyone remember to bring the pachyderm repellent? I wonder if elephants taste like chicken.

Re: New MA game
 

Anyone hear anything from Ulm?

Re: New MA game
 

Ah . . . I got a stale turn. Screwed me pretty bad http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I'll do my best to stay in it, though, I s'pose http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game
 

@#!#!!

(*deep breath*)

Misfortuine is not free points, as evident by my vital rainbow pretender getting killed by knights. Does anybody want to take over Ulm, or shall it go AI?

Re: New MA game
 

@DryaUnda
Do you really think pretender death @turn17 means end of the game? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Of course misfortune is not free points, it's just another way of distribution. You had bonus research, but now you have to call god for couple of turns — resulting same research as other players. So I don't see any reason for panic.

Re: New MA game
 

Buying skull staff, but only if you can deliver this or the next turn.
And on a another matter , man do I wish we had score graphs now!!!

And to the emissary eating giants, that wasn't a very smart thing to do by the way.

Re: New MA game
 

Hmm I should have eaten that chicken when I had the chance... Instead chickens have popped up all over. And tho I squish a bunch.. still more chickens. Giants down to 3 provinces!

As for it being smart, dear chicken... the mistake was not in eating the emissary. It was being peaceable and not eating the rest of your 'tastes like chickens' when I had the opportunity.

So the giants were attacked with surprise by the cowardly chickens, and with the aid of R'yalla. But I don't think I'm going to have the time to develop a taste for sushi. Two small, tiny cowardly races SHOULD be able to kill one.

Although Ryalla has made a mistake here - he has swapped a smaller, peaceable neighbor for a larger more agressive one.

C'tis controls almost the entire southern continent unopposed. Aid appreciated - but definitely beware. Ctis will come with out warning.

Also, if anyone has sitings of Ryallian armies, the intelligence would be appreciated.


Now, where are my boots of chicken stomping???!!!

Re: New MA game
 

You should have attacked me when you had the chance, I would have, but anyway I had no treaty signed with you and there for am not obligated to announce my war plans, as for as the rest I do honer my NAP's and treaty's and keep my word.

This is Incorrect, he still has most of his lands, and I do not have the entire southern continent, trere are still 3 of us on it. And now I control about 35-40%
