Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

I did the same for myself to confirm. Yeah, it just seems like the server isn't sending e-mails. I wonder what that will mean after the game starts.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

It's sending turn files on other games, if that's any help.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

Yes it's sending turn received files in the other game I am in. New Pretender sent :)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

I sent in my Pretender again. Hopefully it get's through this time.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

It worked, looks like the game can start. Sorry for being the last guy in.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

No problem.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

I think the Rlyeh player has staled his second turn.
It's not a good start for us. Shall we look for sub or leave it AI if he also failed this turn?

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

Let's post for a sub, as it is so early and if that does not work out then we can always set to AI.

:)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

I sent a message--if nothing comes of it pretty soon then we'll do what you suggest.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

Sorry guys, had a busy week and for some reason thought I had until Saturday night.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (accepting gods)
 

Hooray, the prodigal Aboleth has returned!

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

It's getting a little silent recently. Any news from the front?

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Well Lanka appears to have gone vacationing to Kokytos or some such. :(

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Well it is supposed to be a a game for busy people. However for future games perhaps the first 10 or 15 turns should go in abit faster pace. :)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Yeah, I'll probably do that in the future. The only reason I'm mentioning Lanka is that they staled last turn... I sent a message; if another stale occurs I'll look for a substitute.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Hi I (Lanka) am back. I have taken my next turn. But feel free to boot me if you like.

I thought I would have internet access while I was away and took my Laptop with Dominions on with me. But in the end the wireless modem could get no signal.... :(

Hopefully I won't be too far behind after staling twice. At least I had a stack of cash to return too :)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Ah well I don't think we need such harsh discipline as to require the removal of somebody who had network problems but no longer has them. If I had actually found a substitute I would not steal the nation back from them (although I'd feel a bit badly that you lost it), but since I didn't, you're welcome to it! Just as long as somebody is taking the turns and trying to win. :)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

I'm afraid that I won't be able to play from 29/10 to 1/11 ( or from 10/29 to 11/1 for US readers :) ). I will try to find a sub.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Sounds like you'll miss just one turn then? Tell me if you have a lot of trouble finding somebody--we can delay the turn for a day-ish if necessary, although it would be better not to.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

I've already found someone but I'm not quite sure what I've got to do with the llamaserver.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Well I have to do it--there's a page in the "Admin options" for the game that allows changes to players' e-mail addresses, and a link on the main page that lets you resend a turn to anybody. That takes care of it. But only I can change the e-mail address.

So when the time comes, I will need your substitute's forum name, so I can talk to them if necessary, their e-mail address, so I can have the turn sent to them, and your e-mail address, so I can restore the nation to you when you come back.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

I've just sent my orders. Olive will sub for me this week. I will send you his e-mail address by PM.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Hi All,
Sorry for the stale turn yesterday...I'm not quite sure what happened. I played my turn...and thought I sent it...but must not have. (grr for lost opportunities)

See you in game.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Hi. I come in peace. :)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Well, I'm back to buisness!

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Okay, I'll restore you once LlamaServer revives.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

LlamaServer isn't accepting my admin password... all involved parties have been notified (including llamabeast via the thread about the server problems).

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Okay, yandav is back for real now (I think). Whew! I sure have sent a lot of messages during this LlamaServer crisis.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Everything seems to be ok now except that Caelum has left us. I guess this would increase the tempo a little.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Oh boy now Kailasa is slipping into a coma! I wish I could give out beepers or possibly Dominions 3-branded cellphones to everybody, so I could wake them up when they stop taking their turns. SHRAPNEL GAMES SHOULD PROVIDE THIS SERVICE

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Hi All,

I have set my nation to AI and sent in my turn.

I have had a poor start and with some stale turns when I was away followed by another during the Llamaserver issues I am a long way behind.

I have had to take risks to grab even a few neutrals and this has cost me dear as I have lost a lot of troops to 'meeting' engagements with stronger neighbours. So I now have a small nation with little land and far too few troops for this stage of the game. There are no long or even medium term prospects for Lanka so there is no point looking for a sub. As I have many neighbours by quitting they all have an equal chance of sharing my lands rather than me 'choosing' who to try and fight. I would rather the AI made that choice as none have done anything bad to me in this game. Also it releases anyone who has an agreement with me from watching others eat me up, for thoose that stick to such agreements :)

Good luck everyone and enjoy the game

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Ummm you know you can keep some of that stuff secret, in a game without score graphs.... :)

Well anyway thanks for playing.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Alneyan is the new Kailasa.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Why can't I be the new black instead? It took me a bit of time to get through that first turn, as I was busy doing research and assessing the state of the union... and cursing whoever was in my seat before.

Still, you should all be advised that the Dance has resumed, now that someone has managed to find a new pair of pointe shoes for our prima ballerina. Please remain seated until the end of our performance, thank you!

If Kailasa has any agreement with your nation, please let me know and I'll see to it. Thanks :)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Lanka seems to be doing pretty well, for an abandoned nation!

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Kailasa would like to warn all friendly nations that Sauromatia should be treated with the utmost caution. They have suddenly launched a treacherous attack on our borders, and you would be well advised to keep an eye on them lest you too should fall to a sneak attack.

According to our best information, Sauromatia has left their own borders poorly guarded, and we would be more than willing to offer gold, gems and items to any friendly power who might be rightly concerned by the Sauromatian threat on their own borders.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Hinnom has just declared war to ermor. I think that I will soon make a post in the thread " no more MP for hinnom " :hurt: :)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

The Hinnom must be stopped.

Pangaea hereby declare war on Hinnom. After the NAP3 is honored, the devil giants can expect my forces at turn 25.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

I've sent in my turn for Saturday (turn 23) but I won't be available again until the following Thursday. I believe that's one day past when turn 24 will be due. Any chance we could move that date back a day?

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Well it's 2 AM and I was just playing Deus Ex for like eight hours so I cannot answer your question now. I will sleep, and then answer it, scientifically.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

The original Deus Ex? If so, that was time well spent.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

OKAY. I can think now. A delay of a day or two would be okay. I have sent myself a reminder to take care of this when the time comes.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Thanks

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

8 hours on Deus Ex?

Pfft. Lightweight. :)

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

I hope that guy takes his turn soon (I guess he probably will).

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Hinnom has an interest in accumulating a number of earth gems. Send offers to Hinnom.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

And Lanka bites the dust! Hurray, it means my Kailasa isn't going to be the first one... phew! We're bleeding, though, with our rif-raff barely repelling the first Sauromatian assault on our capital.

I'd love to strangle whoever thought it'd be a good idea to pick a bless heavy imprisoned Pretender for Kailasa!

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Small correction: Caelum is the first one.
But right now the killer Hinnom has met a true challenger.

Yeah, the evil giant can kill hunderds of the lesser beings, but finally some maenads will come to his face and take their revenge.

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

It is true, Taurosatyricos is great! With his powerful mages, his dozens of provinces, and his eight fortresses (one in dispute), he truly is a being that other nations must envy. Surely even the Fomorians are kneeling at his borders, and the tritons on his shores!

Re: Sovarinthy - an EA game for somewhat busy people (in progress)
 

Is anyone interested by a Ring of Sorcery? I've got one for sale, so let me know if that sounds like something you'd like to get for Christmas! It comes in a mint condition but we just need gems and money more than magic trinkets, and we will accept returns if the ring is deemed to be faulty (we can't cover horror summonings going awry, though).
