I've enabled PMs on my account... I hope :P

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Sorry for the late notice, but could I get a 12-hour extension (or so) on this turn?

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Hosting postponed by 12 hours.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Hi!

its offtopic, but i tried all the other options:

I need a replacement partner in the prepo2 no diplomacy team game. the game has just started (12th turn) and with special independents it seems very fun. PM me if interested.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Grey,
One nice thing to do (when possible) is when you are the last duck in the boat (turn submission) ... wait 5 minutes, pick up the new turn and immediatly take your next turn. Of course this is not possible at times but when you can swing it... much appreciated.
Respectfully,

Dear Fellow Pretenders!

The unmoral hypocrite leaders of Marignon has show the white of their teeth.
Violating the NAP we had between us, they ordered their armies to attack, acting like a real weasel: cowardly and from the back, while scheming good intent. They surely consider themselves more intellectually capable for licking the hoofs of their Devil masters than navigate in the mazes of diplomacy by rules.

Perhaps its no coincidence they are in such an understanding relationship with the weak-moraled, covetous ctis who also share this habit of breaching agreements, of being unable to keep promises.

I after they shown how much their given word means, the non-agression pacts these devil-thralls signed with You are just as nonexistent as their intent to keep them when a little chance of gaining emerges for them.

Covetous? I gave you your stuff back didn't I. Plus you missed the obvious cold blooded joke.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

there is a little confusion with the links in the first post (bonfire-->legolas).

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

thanks the link should be fixed now. If any of the other links don't quite go where they should please tell me.

Also I'm setting Ulm to AI. He's staled the last 3 turns in a row and it's unlikely we'll find a sub after this many stales.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

C'tis needs death gems and has earth to trade. Looking for about 20 or so death for the equivalent in earth although smaller trades will be accepted. pm me if your interested.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

4 in a row now. You may want to post for someone to set him AI. I see Llamaserver is currently waiting for his next turn.

-ssj

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Turns out Ulm has a password on it's turns. So unless Greyjoy gets back I'm just going to force the turn to host if I see Ulm is holding it up.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Hey! I'd like a delay on the hosting interval till wednesday (or better yet thursday if theres no rush) if it's not a problem. My comp was acting up so it's getting repaired atm.

Thanks in advance

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Delay granted. I'll extend the interval after this turn hosts.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

My empire is under the collective attack of the dishonorable ctis, the backstabber marignon and the scavenger-hearted, arrogant illithids who joined the war when they thought there were just loots collect. They will find only death in my lands as i will defend it to the last standing man (Man :P).

I still have no allies myself.

I'd like to stress that ctis and rlyeh are 3rd and 2st in provinces owned even now and still has plenty of room to expand (with ulm outon their borders), they will be in a strong position should they triumph.

Leaders of marignon, what u will gain from this war is a sandwich from two strong empires, whom u will have no power to resist when the time comes.

Numerous troops of them are fighting in my lands (northwestern corner), so their borders elsewhere most probably lightly defended, great time for showing them .... what u wanna show them.

In search for a longlasting, firmly-based alliance,

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I've just found out that I'll need to be out of town this weekend. If possible, I'd like to request a delay on turns posting between, say 19:00 Friday (Llamaserver time), and the same time on Monday. I should be back before then, but I prefer not to take chances.

I'm sorry to have to ask this right after a different delay, but this only now came up.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Delay is granted. Don't worry too much about asking for delays I'm not sure if I stated it in the op but the delay policy on this game was always meant to be fairly generous.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Will trade 3 fire for 2 death (ratio). PM quantity.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Heya

I will no longer be continuing in this game (or Dom3 multi for that matter). Honestly, I figured out this game just really isn't for me. My game is not passworded so do with it what you want

Regards

A.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I'm going to delay the game 24 hours to see if a sub can be found for Marignon. I don't suppose I could convince you to do this one last turn Lann. It would help to keep the game from being delayed too long while we look for a sub.

Also anyone heard from legolasjrt. Midgard has staled twice in a row now. If Midgard stales again I'm going to set them to AI.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Looks like 13lackguard has agreed to take over Marignon. We may be delayed another 24 hours if 13lackguard needs it for diplomacy or to get a handle on the nation. Sorry for yet another delay but I really don't want to let a nation that's still viable die due to stales.

I'm tempted to try and find a sub for Midgard as well they don't look like they're doing too badly on the graphs and I don't think legolasjrt is still playing. He would have staled again this turn if I hadn't increased the timer. Might be hard to find a sub if he's already staled twice though. Anyone closer to him on the map have any thoughts on this?

Thanks Lann5555 for not just leaving the game without telling anyone. I think it's a lot easier to find subs if a nation doesn't have any stales yet.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

according to the (limited) reports of my scouts midgard is doing well, in a peaceful corner.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

whatever "peaceful" might mean in a wargame like this :)

and I think it the game really would benefit from finding a sub for midgard instead of one more too-early dead nation (like mictlan and ulm).

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I'm all for delays, I've tried to help by taking 1 of the AWOL nations but it seems that you're in need of another, so we'll have to find somebody else as well. in the meantime I'll get myself acquainted with my new nation, and if any of you had former diplomatic or other agreements with Marignon please fill me up to speed.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I've posted for a sub for Midgard. There was one other person who was interested in taking over Marignon so we may get him for Midgard. Hopefully there isn't a password on Midgard's turns.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Bon,
Midgard is leading in research. Good selling angle....
-ssj

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Hi everyone i took over Midgard. I hope i can do something with it, as an awaken sage that is no rainbow is the only thing i have to work with (and production 3 yay).

From him sieging my castle, i assume i am at war with bogarus, but could everyone else let me know if there are NAPs?

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

damn, this game is still on 24 hour schedule? crap... already got a stale due to it :( so anyway, can we extend it a bit? 24 hours at this stage sounds a bit quick...

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Yeah some of my games are eating a lot of time including this one. I expected to be eliminated from at least one of them by now. It's probably about time we went a longer hosting schedule.

I've set the hosting interval to 48 hours. We could go to a 36 or 48 hour schedule. I kinda prefer 48 so we increase the timer in nice day sized intervals. Anyway post if you have a preference.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I'd prefer 48.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

48 please

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

my preference is to set the remainder interval to 9hrs, so it will be bigger than a usual sleep-interval.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I will be out of town until sunday 23:00 PM GMT+2. I will have time to issue turns on thursday 22:00 GMT+2. I have already sent my turn in.

So i would like a temporaly +24hrs to the hosting interval until next monday (making it 72 hrs), thanks.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Your not the only one who requested a delay over the weekend. Looks like we're on 72 hour schedule after this turn until next Monday.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Please Blackguard tell me what sense it makes to commit all of your forces to attacking me - even when it's futility is clear -, forfeiting your whole hinterland, including your capital in the process. I might learn something.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

i wont have internet access from tomorrow noon until sunday evening GMT. I have already sent my 2h file in, so i would like a delay (about 72 hrs) after this turn is resolved, many thanks!

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

well, you created this whole situation in the first place. I'll give you 2 sentences of knowledge, the first you must recognize, the second is merely common sense.
1. every action has an equal but opposite reaction.
2. every action has consequences.

I'll let you finish doing the math :smirk:

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

you (i mean marignon) attacked (backstabbed!) me in the first place. i wanted peace all along. now u are playing a suboptimal strategy for some mysterious payback. The AI would have played more reasonably.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

correction: the previous player backstabbed you than bailed out when things didn't seem to work for him. when I came in R'lyeh was already knocking at my doorsteps, and I had no income nor crossbowmen at the back to fight his hordes of chaff. my armies were concentrated on your territory with mages and whatnot, so I just kept going, especially after you told me yourself that you bribed R'lyeh and later Atlantis to attack me...

obviously if I was here from the begining I would have done things differently, but in this situation that I was given there was no escape, I was dead anyway as soon as you got R'lyeh+Atlantis to knock at my back door. so the only *sensible* thing to do is make you pay and try to bring you down with me... there was never redemption for this position.

now, I really don't appreciate your tone here, nor your blunt disrespect, even degrading me compared to the AI. so I'll finish by giving you a friendly advise, don't go running around burning down bridges, you never know when it will come around to bite you in the rear.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Ahhh - things are much clearer now. I was wondering what the heck was going on over there. You two should become best friends!

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

blackguard: just three things.

-I have nothing to do with atlantis attacking you. I bribed only R'lyeh (who was attacking me at the time in cooperation with u) to make it 2 vs 2 instead 3 vs 1 (im being the one). Basicaly you took revenge on me for defending myself.

-I didnt compare u to the AI, but your deeds in this game, i consider it a substantial difference, i dont see any offense in objectively describing someone's deeds as i see them. I have no problem with you personally. I'm convinced the AI wouldnt have given up all his homeland to get revenge on someone, so it would have behaved more reasonably if we restrict ourselves to game terms when defining "reasonable". I believe there were some emotional benefits for you to gain thru your kamikaze invasion, so I'm sure your deeds were also reasonable if we take out-of-game dimensions into calculation.

-I'm also convinced u had other, more optimal choices strategy-wise. Even if I dont count the massive change in the political landscape that happened since you took over, which could have saved you. Tho i know it might be mine perception/opinion only.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Well I'm out of this game. Real life is stopping me from having the time to play this game or even have more than intermittent internet access. I've sent in the current turn.

This game needs a new admin. If someone wants to volunteer that would be great. Otherwise I'm just going to send the admin password to the top 2 nations in terms of province count since should be in the game for a while.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Just to make a few things clear from my end, with regards to Man and Marignon:

Man did not pay me or even ask me to attack Marignon. I made that decision of my own free will. My invasion was originally timed to start on the same turn that the previous Marignon player quit. I actually held back for a couple turns because I felt it a little unsporting to attack before giving the new player some time to settle in. At the time I knew only that Marignon and R'lyeh were both attacking Man, and indeed I thought there was a decent possibility that R'lyeh would be pulled into a war against me. I didn't actually find out about R'lyeh and Man's arrangement until just before I attacked.

Earcaraxe, you might be a little slower to criticize Blackguard, however. Granted, it's probably a bit annoying to have his army blazing through your backcountry, but his actions do make sense from my point of view (and his, one assumes). The heart of his territory is largely occupied, and he can't get his forces back quickly. Given the choice between throwing everything I had left at a powerful force, and carving out some new land, I have no doubt that I'd make the same choice. So, probably best everyone just calms down a bit, before someone says something they regret.


On an unrelated note, I see that Bonfire is no longer able to play. I'd like to extend a big thanks for starting this game and running things so far. For the future, is there anyone in particular who'd like to volunteer as admin? I'm assuming we'll need a few days before the next turn regardless, so as to find a replacement player.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Bonfire
I'd like to second Otherlings thank you for starting and admining the game. Hope your RL get back on track and may your connectivity never waiver. (sounds like a benediction)
-ssj

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

thanks bonfire.

please delay the game after the resolution of the current turn by 48 hrs as i wont be in town until sunday evening GMT, thanks.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I've delayed the timer by 48 hours. And that is my last act as game admin.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

It seems That C'tis will be set to AI if no sub-candidates shows up. Of course, a human player would be much preferable...

I'll extend timer by 24 hours as a last measure for sub to show up before C'tis is set to AI. Should you know of anyone who may be interested please direct them to PM me or respond to this thread.

I am open to suggestions.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I have postponed hosting for 12 hours due to weekend committmens. Sorry for the delay.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I'm AWOL Thur through Monday. I can submit last Monday evening CST. Is that too long w/o a sub? I will post for a sub if the rest of you feel that is a bit too long a delay.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Should read "late Monday evening"..
