Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

AdmiralZhao is facing hard times looking for a reliable partner. Hope he will find one because we can't start with less than 9 teams due to predefined locs.
I attached the .map file to the first post so that you could download it and test your pretender\scales in real conditions.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

I recommend adding "need one more player" to the thread title.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

There's no need in that. He's asking his friends now and if he doesn't succeed he will start controlling both nations and will continue searching.
So we may start once everyone has his pretender uploaded.
However, we need team selection from Zhao (and maybe his teammate)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

I will join Admiral Zhao! I am his friend!

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

AdmiralZhao and seej take Caelum-Pythium, so we are full at last.
Guys, upload your gods (11 left) and let's start

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Pretender submitted. Lets hope I fare a bit better against you than I have in the past.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

We are currently waiting only for Caelum, Pythium and Marignon.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Marignon is up

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

10 more minutes and we will have pretenders in.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Game started. Good luck, everybody.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

AdmiralZhao, who of you is playing which nation?

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Good luck everyone! I'm looking foward to spreading sweet delicious truth to you all.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

You better spread it to your ally. He'll enjoy it;)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

We are going to trade off every few turns to keep our opponent's guessing.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

???? Why the massive turn delay???

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Because we have 18 players and each one appears at different time. I guess so.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Hrm, so far this game has been excellent. High Indi strength can make things...complicated. At any rate, would you guys mind delaying the game untill sunday? I will be out of town.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Ok. How much time exactly do you need?
Llamaserver understands hours only ;)

Also, do you want current or next turn postponed?

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

I'd like a 36 hour delay, PM'ed ano the reason why.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

I replied to your PM. Hope you'll be able to finish your turn in 24h I'm adding now:).

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Unoptimized wasn't going to make it in time for the current deadline. However, he had the power of the internet and so we resolved it.

He sent me his files and I did up his turn and sent them back. We are all good to go here at team crazy tin cans.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Anyway, most probably we'll have another 12h extension as requested by Quitti above.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

I have pm'd all who are in need. Just to let everyone know I requested a 12h extension while I try to overcome so computer issues.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Hello. You're lucky indeed that it's Saturday and I'm not asleep yet. No problem, of course but it's night now in Europe and I may not be able to fulfill your request if you for ask this late next time.
Good luck with your computer!

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Much obliged Ano. Most of the problems are dealt with. Thank-god for time machine (tm).

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Our team requests 18h delay now and permanent switching to 48h schedule int the next few turns.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Would it be possible to have another delay? My teammate needs an 8 hour extension in order to complete his turn.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Zhao, I broke our NAP3 on turn 15, the turn after I noticed that you grabbed everything we were fighting for. And not only you ignored our previous treaties after that but now it is turn 18 and our lands are covered with your troops meaning you attacked on turn 17. I'm pretty sure I could beat you off but it is not a matter of discussion now. First post in the thread said that NAPs were to be honored but of course I couldn't force you, could I? Now I'll try to stay aside of any game you are in just not to run into all this filth again. I don't like public discussions, I just make conclusions.
Most probably, we would lose this war in the end (who knows, however) but I have no wish to continue this circus, sorry. Probably, I am too weak to see how all my plans are vanquished because someone violates NAPs.
Good to luck to everyone and especially to Zhao with his Machiavellian policy.

p.s. Someone who will be an admin, please contact me.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

I hope you reconsider quitting Ano, it might have been an honest mistake on Zhao's part... I know I've accidentally attacked too early after giving warning on a NAP

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Taking on account some of his previous deeds I strongly doubt it was a mistake. I gave a precondition (ultimatum) under which I would break the NAP, Zhao ignored and a turn after it I said our NAP is broken. It was turn 15. Zhao attacked on turn 17 and he may say, of course, that he thought something or anything else - I don't care. This turn I had 3 my provinces including capital overwhelmed by caelian forces, my ally Ulm was also attacked. But I may tell you for sure that I would easily beat the force he sent to my capital if it was next turn when I planned to set my chariots and mages to patrol. I expected air attack it but not this early.
Also, I understand that it is too late but I am almost sure that if it was not this way, I could beat all his huge mammoth army because I would have 12 mages able to skellspam, rage and terror, about 100 chariots, horde of archers and poison slingers and 3 smiters. Most probably, even now I am able to beat him but I don't want to check.
Enough said. Our decision is final because this game is no more a pleasure for us. I don't want to publicly blame Zhao - it was his choice. I just made my conclusions and you may or may not make yours.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

It seems a little ridiculous to just throw in the towel like that. Look at me, my ally got dom-killed by them around turn 5, and I'm still trundling along.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

It is your choice while mine is above. I always play to win. If I can't win, I concede. It happens quite rare, though.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Ahh, NAP arguments. Nothing more enjoyable than a good old fashioned NAP argument.

Here is what things look like from the other side of the front. On turn 14, Ano said that if we took any of Mictlan or Jomon's territory, or any of the independents near them, that our NAP would be automatically canceled. On that same turn I told them that we couldn't agree to those demands and that we were going to attack those provinces. I thought we were at war after that. However, even if you go from Ano's declaration of war, there is still a school of thought which say that 18 - 15 = 3. I am partial to that school of thought.

One thing I will agree with Ano about is that the war is far from over, especially as no one has yet suffered any real casualties. I was actually hoping to meet some resistance at his capital while my PoD still has the bonuses from his own dominion.

Additionally, I would note that I was actually attacked without warning on turn 17 by Gath (breaking the NAP3 we had with his team), so in Karmic terms I believe I am still ahead for this game. :)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

You breathers and your politics...Come join us in the dreaming of forever.

(Sad to see you go Ano, thanks for setting up a cool game)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

I have taken over adminship of this game, feel free to PM me or post in this thread if you need a pause or have an issue.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Issue: I hate cute kittens.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

I will dispatch a herd of kitten eating dogs at once!

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Going away on friday, will be back on monday. During this time I can not make any turns (I however made my turn before going so its oki if you let this turn host)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

I approve, you'll make a great admin.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Tien Chi has asked for an 8 hour extention (and as hosting draws near there are a handful of people who have yet to submit). Hosting delayed.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Well, TC is pretty much owning me up with no regard for anything I have. I'm thinking about setting myself to AI, since my strategy was very flawed and I don't think I can do much of anything.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

It's unfortunate that your team was never able to get off the ground with the quick death of your ally. Thanks for sticking around and playing it out after he was gone.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Now that we are past turn 20 I have set the hosting to 48hrs . Also I have changed the reminder email to 8 hours from 4, a 4 hour reminder is not much help if your sleeping or at work when it comes, 8 hours gives a little more leeway.

Hosting will also be delayed until Monday as per marignons request - sorry about your stale Homer, I kind of missed/forgot about your comment about going away for the weekend.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Hey guys, I have to run and do graduate school interviews, I'll be back in a week. Feel free to make me AI :)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Atlantis has you beat?

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

unless someone objects I will be setting R'lyeh ai before the next host as per unoptimized's request rather than asking someone to sub into a losing position.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Yeah, I wouldn't ask anybody to sub that position, I think I've pretty much got him by the throat. Was looking for one more good fight at his capital though if you found somebody interested in just subbing for one or two fun fights. I wouldn't worry about pounding the pavement though unless anybody happens by that's interested.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

I'll cover for him. What are old partners for.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

Posting is being postponed for Juffos on the assumption he will be back after this tuesday...if I misunderstood and he meant the tuesday after that...then we will try to get that subbed by his partner. For now I'll run on the assumption that he needs an easter break, which is something we can all take a break for an enjoy.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Game on.
 

I was thinking about summoning a King of Elemental Fire this turn. What do you think? Does anyone know if they've already been summoned?
