Re: Methadone - running
 

Ermor has no quarrel with Marignon, nor any desire to acquire one.

We have no quarrel with Gath either, even though they are large and evil, and infringing upon our territory. Perhaps an arrangement between our two empires can be made.

Game admin message: Sorry, email turn notification is not working at the moment, because gmail hates me.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Game admin message: I'm now using lavabit dot com, hopefully you all got email notifications for this turn.

Re: Methadone - running
 

nope :)

I just check the status page anyways

edit: also, 5 blood druids w/ 50 slaves is why you use scouts to, umm, scout, first ;p

Re: Methadone - running
 

kk, the notification per mail is working now!

Toran

Re: Methadone - running
 

Great! Thanks for letting me know.

Re: Methadone - running
 

my video card has died - this may delay this turn, as I'll have to set everything up on my laptop. I should be able to get it in this evening though.

Re: Methadone - running
 

No problem, there's no timer anymore. That's bad timing, with the llamaserver finally starting to get better!

Re: Methadone - running
 

yah i had just d/led my wheel of time turn :)

anyways, i've got domIII running on my laptop, and managed to find a video driver that works for it ;)

I'll get this in this evening, but i have a ton of sh*t to do now - hopefully one of my x1300 pci-e cards that i picked up for a buck will work in my desktop. it's pretty clear that the memory on my 8800gts is fried.. good times good times ;p

Re: Methadone - running
 

The nation of Gath wishes to cordially notify Ermor that we have decided it is about time someone put an end to your incessant and dangerous collecting and gathering of Zombies and Gold and Jewels and Gems and such Stuff!

So, it's war.

Re: Methadone - running
 

The Abysian ambassador is slightly confused, as he never understood the human habits of "cordially declaring war on someone". But sure enough have the Ermorian necromancers been warned when entering this 'belt world'.

Free cyclops burgers for Gath!

Re: Methadone - running
 

Very interesting. Ermor will NOT bury you. Even if you win you will have little joy of it.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Joy? Gath revels in the joy of battle!

For it is foretold in the Prophecy of Brian that a host of angels shall descend on the undead army, and they shall blow their trumpets, and the unholy enemies of He Who Must Not Be Named will be blown to little bit and pieces.

And there will be yet more fighting, for the legions of undead are vast. But the soldiers of Gath who die on the battlefield shall receive Glory and Honour and lots of nice Presents, and they will be entombed at the Holy Hall of Heroes in zombie-proof caskets.

Re: Methadone - running
 

That assumes that they hold the battlefield. If they do not, the dead of Gath will then feast upon the living!

Re: Methadone - running
 

Ack! The zombies have overrun our positions! Run away, run away!

Re: Methadone - running
 

Darn tootin. You may bury those bodies once they fall (again) on your own soil.

Looks like Man has come to the party. We welcome them to our ranks as well. Muwahahahahaha!

Re: Methadone - running
 

It's the Zombipocalypse!

Re: Methadone - running
 

Alright, heading out to staff duty now. Will be back in about 26 hours.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Pah. The statisticians of Abysia want to state that they don't accept the international rulings of the HoF commission any longer. Wading through shattered bones that were just held together by chewing gum does not qualify for being "Heroic" in Abysian opinion.

Re: Methadone - running
 

No problem. There's no more timer so you don't have to worry about staling.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Whoa! That last attack was painful. Fortunately I didn't lose anything important.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Please do the current turn with 3.20 (just Ermor and Marignon are left to submit).

I'll host with 3.20, and then update to 3.21.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Ah, the patch is out? Didn't notice :)

You also made me "Sheesh! Did I made a mistake in submitting accidently again?", posting that just Ermor and Marignon were missing, it's the lowly Abysians as well... but sure, we're not important... just step over us....

Re: Methadone - running
 

Oops! I patched in order to play some of my PBEM games and forgot to check here. Now it won't let me go to the server this game is on. Where can I find the 3.20 patch so I can repatch my game to play my turn?

Re: Methadone - running
 

I will update to 3.21 and try hosting with the current set of turn files.

Re: Methadone - running
 

oh oh crap it has accepted your turn but won't host. hmmm i think vfb's gonna have to do something.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Hosting with the 3.21 version with some 3.20 turn files shouldn't make any problems. Unless there is modding trouble.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Hmm. I guess it took my turn after all. My beautiful fortress, lost to the cannibalistic giants.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Admin: Yes, your turn arrived, but then the server crashed. So I patched the server and re-ran the turn with the existing mix of 3.20 and 3.21 files, and it looks like it worked okay.

Toran, hope you did not have another incomplete turn. The server said all the turns were in except Ermor:

Methadone, Connections 1, No timer

Re: Methadone - running
 

Ermor: Hold still so I can catch up with you!!!!!!

Re: Methadone - running
 

alas we of ulm have been defeated. at least we gave away plenty of gifts (from heaven), we hope they were enjoyed :)

Re: Methadone - running
 

they certainly were!

the highest desire of our holy flagellants is to die in the service of their god. they thank you deeply for enabling their sacrifice.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Thanks for your presence in the game, although we do not share Marignon's masochistic personality and could have done without those generous gifts... (having a S3 mage watch 5-6 enemy S1 mages pop up in Magic Duel is still something that gives me sweat...).

Re: Methadone - running
 

So Marignon now chooses to jump on poor double teamed Ermor eh? We never hurt a fly. We never even had the chance! We'll fight to the bitter end though.

Re: Methadone - running
 

You just revived its parents and grand parents to fight for you, didn't you? :p

Re: Methadone - running
 

just passing through - this territory seems remarkably lacking in anything suitable for a Marignonian family friendly environment :)

Re: Methadone - running
 

Hey, we were just making those lazy bastards useful. They think that they can rest just because they're dead, but we Ermorians don't believe in free rides!

Re: Methadone - running
 

Well, I think there may have been some sort of hint in the initial game post as to what kind of diplomatic relations anyone playing LA Ermor should expect. :)

Admin: Emails for this turn probably did not go out. I managed to accidentally save my turn before I was finished (hazards of playing on the host system). So I disabled quickhost, but did not have a chance to re-enable it before everyone got their turn in (Marignon finished just before I did). Since Marignon was connected, I didn't want to disconnect him by stopping and restarting the server, so I just hit the 'Host' button. Hopefully this has not caused any weirdness besides lack of the notification email. If it did, please post here or PM me.

Re: Methadone - running
 

We've been supposed to be getting notifications e-mails?

And Gath, for the record I would like to note that your giants are evil communists, and I still maintain that everyone should unite against you. And we won't rest until we're de... um... we won't rest!

Re: Methadone - running
 

@ vfb - yep, I got no notification email this time as well. PLUS, the status page looks scrambled, it says

Re: Methadone - running
 

My own existance draws to a close, only to begin anew, in ways uncertain... actually no. One life after death is all you probably get. Merry Christmas Abysia. I await whomever wants some at my final fortress of doom. Will it be Man, Marignon, or Gath? Perhaps they will fight each other over the spoils? We can only hope.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Peace be unto our brothers who have fought the undead horde, and to those who have financed our struggle through purchases of our fine exports.

Our first battle against the horde seems so long ago, and we were hopeful of a quick victory. But our hopes were dashed by the cunning undead who crushed our force and sent us fleeing back to the land of the living.

Only through the toil of our craftsmen and the sacrifices of our Sibyls did we manage to advance again and make way into the wastelands. And as the army of Ermor struck west against Man, Gath made further progress towards the gates of the unholy citadel.

But again we were made to retreat in the face of overwhelming opposition. Finally from the woods our Sibyls called an army of Mazzik, and Gath was ready to once again stand outside the gates of the citadel of Ermor.

We have now entered that cursed keep, and we slew the vile necromancers who guarded the inner sanctum.

This day will forever be remembered in Gath, and we will sing sad songs of all the Sibyls lost to exhaustion in the war.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Misfortunate, tasty sybils. Most of all tasty.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Gentlemen.....my internet at home is fritzy and I don't know how long it will take to get it fixed. I may or may not get it working again this afternoon. I will try and keep up to date one way or another, if I have to make a trip to my daughter's house to mooch off of her internet. Please be patient.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Admin: There's still no timer on the game, so you should be okay here. Good luck getting it fixed!

Re: Methadone - running
 

my current turn may be delayed a bit... we've had a great pace, but it's gonna slow down some now i'm pretty sure :)

Re: Methadone - running
 

No problem, I've also turned off quickhost so I can do my turn in bits instead of all at once.

Re: Methadone - running
 

just don't go in and do your turn - disconnect after d/ling it and do it "at home", and upload when done

oh, right, also DEATH TO GATH!!!AAAEFWER

;)

Re: Methadone - running
 

I'm on the server :(.

I'd have to do the turn as a different user or something, so the new .2h file did not end up in the same directory as the server game dir. There is no uploading at all ... I just do a 'Save', and it's automatically written to the directory where all the .2h files are uploaded to.

oh and also, DEATH TO MARIGNUM!111!!!11 And if you're thinking you're gonna sail across that puddle and raid me, well, please just let me know what province you'll be landing in, so I can give you some nice biscuits when you get ashore.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Admin: Quickhost is back on. Next turn I'll try running as a different user, I think that'll minimize disruption, and also the amount of screwing around with the script I need to do.
