Red_Ruby

The subject only needs to contain the name of the game when submitting a pretender. For a turnfile, any subject will do.

Were the orders you're trying to submit prepared using the turnfile attached to the email that notified you that the game has begun?

My problem was solved, I was using the wrong folder and thus was sending a 2h. file from a Test game I was running as Agartha. Sorry for the delay guys

Never knew that. Assumed the llamaserver wouldn't know which turn file belonged to which game without the correct subject heading. The llamaserver truly is a wonderful creation :)

Pangaea Shop of Stuff is now selling Dwarven Hammers, Thistle Maces, Earth Boots, Regen and reinvig trinkets and boots, Skull Mentors and Staffs and some other stuff.

Payment
Option 1: Astral pearls only, 1 pearl for each gem in the item's base cost.(ex. a Skull Mentor would cost 10 pearls)
Option 2: At least 5 pearls and the rest in Nature, Earth or Death gems until we reach the base cost(ex. Dwarven Hammer would cost 5 pearls and 10 E/N/D gems or 6 pearls and 9 gems etc etc)
Option 3: Gem cost +20% rounded down if you are paying with Nature, Earth or Death gems only(ex. Mentor would be 12 E/N/D, Hammer would be 18 E/N/D etc)

Obviously availability will depend on my supply of gems. 50% of payment up front, 50% after delivery.

edit. Feel free to comment on the prices. E/N/D payments can come in a mixture of the three.

Bumping to mention that if you make an order then emailing me or messaging me on the forums is the best way to go. Almost forgot who I was supposed to send one to, though I'll be writing things down as well from now on.

An invasion of our capital and only city by LA ermor's hordes leaves Pythium defeated. I will make one final stand at my capital, then set myself to AI. Good luck all.

Midgard is going to try and find a sub. Bad coincidences have kept me from getting recent turns in on time and I can't expect to play competitively only sending in every other turn. I'd like a 24 hour extension to give me time enough to find one.

You were unlucky Alpine Joe. I had no real intention of attacking you, until that is I had that random cultist creating event next to your capital. Once that happened though, I had a ready made gateway to your capital, which was just too good an opportunity for me to turn down. So a combination of very bad luck and opportunity seizing led to your downfall, which is a tough combo for anyone to accommodate so early in the game.

Fairly beaten in numerous battles by the giants of Gath and with our northern lands now uner conquest by Atlantis, Arco is shamefully beaten and its ruler beats a hasty retreat from the game as his enemies quickly divide the remainder of his lands

All the best everyone!

Yes nice work on deciding when to strike Calahan. Unfortunately for me, I was relying mostly on sacred Hydras for expansion and there are few units worse against LA ermor. Your attack came too fast for me to even recruit blockers for my banishers in S3. Well played. Now if I could just prevent the same thing form happening in Cripple Fight....

Zapmeister June 17th, 2009 11:16 PM

Re: Ruby LA CBM Game Running
 
As far as I know, Starshine Monarch's attempts to find a sub have been unsuccessful and Midgard has suffered 3 consecutive stales.

Is it time to fire up the AI?

I would normally agree, but LA Ermor's graphs are probably no different to normal looking LA Ermor graphs, and they always look a bit nuts :) Although that's not to say Ermor isn't full of scary undead stuff :D

My current "hats off" goes to Frozen Lama without any doubt. LA Atlantis are a pretty unloved nation, and have been tagged as weak by a lot of players. But that's an outstanding job of getting them blasting out of the blocks I must say Frozen Lama. Good effort all round to you there :up:

Re: Ruby LA CBM Game Running
 
Atlantis is doing ok, but they're alone in the water as far as I can tell which, of course, is a major problem in and of itself. I sure am glad to be sandwiched between the corpses and the fish necromancers.

Hadrian_II June 18th, 2009 01:13 PM

Re: Ruby LA CBM Game Running
 
Ermor can also easily enter the see and is also doing it, mictlan has underwater sacreds and Jomon has also entered the sea.

Also the nations of Pangaea and Vanheim are hereby called to prepare forces to defend against ermor, as they should not grow that much bigger.

Very sorry everyone, but can I please request a 30 hour delay of the current turn. I am away from home all day tomorrow due to a sporting event (this wasn't confirmed until today) and won't be back until Sunday morning, meaning I can't get my turn done until that afternoon (all llamaserver time).

So apologies for the delay, but didn't know for sure I needed it until today, and have to get an early night tonight due to 4am travelling tomorrow.

Hey everyone,

sorry for those stale turns. I am drowning in work right now and will not be able to submit the next turn in time either. I will not go AI though, and shall be back in the game as soon as possible if my professors let me.

Sorry guys..

This is a call to all free nations, ermor has just invaded me and if i dont get help, i will loose the war, and then ermor will become much too big to be fought against.

Also Midgard and Pythium are AI so if you are bordering them, you are bordering ermor.

The only nation bordering Ermor except me, the cowardly and treacherous pangaeans are allied with Ermor. They did not even have the decency to respect the nap they had with me.

This world is doomed to be ruled by the undead.

Re: Ruby LA CBM Game Running 13/16 Pretenders Left
 
Damn Pangeans, they always were a traitorous lot. best to kill them quickly. We now look to Jomon, and all other nations to assist us.

Sil June 25th, 2009 04:09 AM

Re: Ruby LA CBM Game Running 13/16 Pretenders Left
 
My apologies Marignon, my lack of experience shows again. For some reason I thought the NAP was meant to last 3 turns not to entail a warning 3 turns prior. Rereading the messages between us shows that I was wrong. I can only blame it on the fact that I've been very distracted from the game lately, well that and all other naps I'd agreed to had a NAP# format which made me think a certain period of time. My apologies again and I promise to make it up to you if we happen to play a different game together.

As to Ermor, I am simply driving my armies to meet them on the shortest possible path. Unfortunately given the mountainous and swampy nature of my territory that path just passes through yours. Again, sorry about the nap breach.

We would recommend that you look on your southern border.

Also the meaning of ermor in a game is, that everyone crushes them, as when one player fears them so much that he becomes their vassal, ermor has nothing to fear.

The tongue in cheek was in poor taste given the circumstances. I'm not all that afraid of Ermor right now, there are other fish in the sea that are considerably more dangerous to me. And they're all nearby it seems.

On an aside: If anyone is interested in water, fire or air gems and can trade pearls at 1 to 1 for them this turn message me or post or something.

I gotta agree with that. Atlantis may look scary on some of the graphs, but Ermor can quickly become unstoppable like no other nation. Because of that, like R'lyeh, it's often banned in LA games.

Believe me, that is not something I actually feel good about :( Would always prefer to properly earn any progress I make in games, rather than have it served up on a plate due to AI's and stalers.

I've posted a lot recently about how much I hate nations turning AI in games, and while I still didn't like seeing my neighbours of Pythium and Midgard turn AI in this game, both were pretty valid even in my eyes. Pythium was just a straight kill by Ermor after a lucky event gave me an unexpected opportunity to siege and capture their capital, with matters only made worse by Pythium's only real troops being Hydra's. Midgard/Starshine did look for a sub for several turns before turning AI, but unfortunately didn't manage to find one. Which there's not much you can do about unless you know players who owe you tons of favours.

But I think the Jomon situation can be dealt with, and I think the best thing right now would be to put the game on hold for a while until Toni_Bubu's RL time constraints ease up a bit. Or ask him if he doesn't mind a sub doing a few turns for him until he can get back onboard. Regardless of whether or not Jomon would attack Ermor, it is just bad for the game all round to have a nation sitting there constantly staling. Although I do confess I didn't realise Jomon had staled for four turns, as that really is a bit over the top.

But putting the game on hold is not my call, so....
