Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Hello All

I just send my turn to the server.

This week end I will not be able to play my turn. It is possible to delay the next turn to 03:10 GMT on Tuesday August 31th instead of 03:10 GMT on Saturday August 28th ?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

i changed the hosting interval to 96 hrs. please notify me when u got back to switch it back, thanks.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Thanks a lot !

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

What are the RLY doing?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Arnob seems to have played his turn already. I'm not a big fan of over-weekend-breaks. This time the person asking for the delay was even able to play it on time.

Please don't ask for delays if you don't need it. And if you're able to play your turn on time, please notify others to keep the pace. We are on turn 3 after 5 days of playing.

Great tolerance was mentioned on the first post but stil..:re:

The Sea whispers its apologies.
It was under the impression that time would be paused for another little while or two.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Dear cold-meated tiger-tamers!

The warlocks of Smouldercone greet the expeditionary forces of the apes. We would like to ask you, to avoid attacking the province south from our meeting-point, as we consider it well inside abysian sphere of influence. With good faith in the fruitfulness of our cooperation, we also offer a NAP3.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Greetings hot, spicy monkeys who go by the name "Abysians,"

That sounds reasonable as the sacred riders have other targets in mind.

Thus, the Monkey Council deems it wise to accept said NAP3

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

God of Vanheim has a vision : There are frost giants next to our lands. The ruler of those creatures must know that our people is seeking for peace. Brotherhood of Cold, Ice and Wind must guide our way.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Hello All

The people of Ulm is back after a seminar on forging techniques this weekend ... We can return to the usual interval turn

Otherwise if someone needs some earth gems, I am ready to consider all business proposals!

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Dear God Of Vanheim and God of Jotunheim

We had a similar vision. A pack of giants with some Jotun Woodsmans (with some levels of blessing).

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

hosting inteval is back to 24 hrs.

I will be without net connection from tomorrow until sunday noon, so there will be a couple days break again.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Dearest Man


The goblins greet thee
Your south friend wills peace
A new beginning...

Inquire a NAP.
Cancel three turns before fight
Forrest-marsh is you

You be all farmland
Ours three swamp and harbour
Warm clothes good?


Sincerely yours
Shinuyama

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Back to 96 hrs. I will switch back to 24 hrs on sunday.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

The Jarls of Jotunheim would like to express their intention for peace, lest anyone encroach on their territory in the Eastern wasteland.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Dear frost god of Jotunheim

I am very pleased to read that you are looking for a lasting peace between our countries.

I propose that our boundaries are as follows:
- Thardun is in our country
- All that is south of the territory is yours, including bridges across the River.

What do you think of this agreement?

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Oh ack, all this talk o' peace be turnin' me stomach. The boots of Man march to conquer the world, ye will all be under my sword eventually. All these proclamations of peaceful intent are but farts on the wind, I cannot conceive of the the next ascendant claiming the throne with his tail between his legs. Any wanting friendship with Man will earn it and be richer for it. Any seeking peace may buy it by bending a knee and offer tribute. You show weakness, goblin king. If you wish forbearance you will send what you can spare. If your gift is acceptable ye shall have the treaty ye wish.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Arrogant people of Man is lucky to live far from us, they would eat their words and hide in the leaves of their delicate trees.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

The clergy of Ermor wishes to express their dissatisfaction with the pace of this game. We find it unnacceptable as it hinders tithing and sets a bad example for the people. As a result, we also find it unacceptable to be condemned to having only two orgies a day should this trend of decadence continue.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

A newby question. Is it possible to create a game with a strict pace : if someone don't play before the end of the turn, llamserver still sends the new file to players, without any moves for late players ?

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Every game is functioning exactly the way you describe, the pace is the turn interval, which is determined and modified as the players wish (1 day for this game, but modified by earcaraxe going out).
It is very hard to assemble 15 people for a daily task, for a few months.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

speaking of such things: why is our game still set to 120-hour turn-hosting? Maybe after this turn we could change it back to 24h? Please hurry guys, because I don't want to wait another two days for this (rather uneventful) turn.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

hi!

im back, and turned the hosting interval back to 24hrs.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

It is realy upset for waiting so long.Please hurry,guys.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

To the Lady of Clouds Arnob,

Thardun and southward as far as the eyes can see is now our country, we deem the current borders to be favorable. You may take East Faindun at your leisure.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Dear Frosty Giant

I'm afraid that you didn't read well our first message. So I will emphase the most important aspect :


You are far from your capital and I do not want to embarrass you in inflicting a stinging defeat!

I have the honour to remain, dear Frosty, your most humble and obedient servant.

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Interesting, Not only have I not agreed to your "proposal", I have already owned all that is south at the time of your proposal. Your proposal brings nothing of value to us but rather seek to bind us for your gain, an ill-intentioned insult you fling in our face indeed.

If you are implying that Thardun lies closer to your capital, I would raise to you that Thardun lies exactly in the middle, 2 provinces away from each of our capital. It is more then obvious that you do not plan to deal in good faith and seek provocation for war.

Do not mistake the declaration of peaceful intent of the Jotuns for weakness, we will gladly accept your declaration of war, prepare thyself.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Dear Frosty Giant

Your stubbornness and your aggressive territorial expansion leaves us no more other choices !

It is a drama for people so quiet and peaceful as mine. But we shall do everything we can to reconquer the territory of our ancestor.

But we know how to be generous: if you leave this place and let us take up it without bloodshed, we are ready to offer a long-lasting peace between our two countries.

I know that the blood sometimes has difficulty in irrigating a head of giant, but I hope that you will know how to take into account our justifiable territorial request.

I have the honour to remain, dear Icy Giant, your most humble and obedient servant.

Arnob, King of Ulm and Prince of Thardun.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

To Pangaea,

my scouts have spotted your province, and would like to extend peace to you in the form of NAP 3.

To Ulm,

You short lived humans did not even exist as a race when we owned the land now called Thardun, that you claim it as your ancestral land is laughable. Your one-sided oratory on your so called "proposal" amuses us greatly.

We see through your excuses and veiled attempt to instigate war, mistaking our generosity to the younger races for weakness would be the your downfall. This is surely a sign that treacherous humans need be purged.

-Council of Jarls

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

To Mscfish and Num :

Hello Dear Gods

It seems that you have borders with our friends giants. You certainly noticed the cooling of our relations recently.

You have the fate of the people of Ulm into your hands, if you let FinalGenesis destroy us, he will doubtless become the most powerful god of this world. And because you are his neighbors, you certainly will be the next target...

We hope your supports :-)

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

And we would raise to your (Vanheim and Pangaea) attention the treachery of Ulm, our offer of peace was meet with the insulting demands (disguised as a "proposal") of these humans.

Our land holdings are wasteland, where crops do not grow and water is more precious then gold. Yet Ulm seek to imprison us in our dead lands and demanding lands required to feed our population, truly their evil have no boundaries.

You will note that our income is lower then that of many others, and Ulm seeks to manipulate us elder kind into warring with each other as are the ways of treacherous humans.

Arnob, The wisdom of elder kinds such as Vans and Pans of nature know of the treachery and deceitful nature of humankinds, your attempts to subvert and scheme among us will have the opposite effect.

I would further invite Vanheim to the cleansing of the humans of Ulm, whose scheming ways are an affront to our nobler elder races. We note that you may rather expand at this point, and am prepared to offer you either NAP 3 or 5 of your choice with the addendum to guarantee leaving Jantal(101) to your people. You will find this a concrete and sincere demonstration of our intentions.

Should you happen to wish for joining in our cleansing of Human Ulm and in position to do so, do let us know.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

To Bandar Log:

We congratulate you on obtaining a strategic foothold into the wasteland, home of the giants, and hope you find its poor soil and lack of water to your liking. Life in the wasteland is a harsh existence as I am certain you'll find.

Meanwhile, be aware that conquest into the 2 remaining waste province you see is imminent.

For the interim, would you be interested in a NAP 3?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

The M.E.F. (Markata Expeditionary Force) has no desire to exploit recent gains in the Eastern coastal wastes as it is needed to conquer other wastes.

Thus, my chittering ambassadors accept your NAP3.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Leaders of the people with four hands, dear monkeys!

I plan to attach Zecan desert to my empire and make its eastern border the border of our countries. I hope you find it acceptable and fair.

Ozzy

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Leaders of Shinuyama!

I offer you a pact which is commonly denoted by the hieroglyph "NAP3".
I consider Slave Coast in my sphere of influence, just as most probably u consider Brightstone in yours.

The lord of Decay and Brimstone,

Ozzy

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Dearest Ozzy of Abysia


Watered greets
Ozzy of Abysia
We are at east-sea.

We will stay below
Do you too like NAPping?
Ulm currently hate

You like Unicorn?
Like chicken very tasty treat
Suggested rice side


Sincerely yours
BvG, Shinuyama

PS: Translationing for make easy understanding:
Planning to make landfall not we, like a NAP 3 you? Currently with feasting unicorn we busy (tasty like dove), maybe like snack of unicorn pathé too you?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Hello everyone,
I would like to stay neutral in your war, lords of Ulm and Jotunheim. My seeking for peace is sincere. I will not cross the river which stands between us, I expect you will do the same.
As for you, lord of Bandar Log, you may take the Arandor port if you want to, take it as an evidence of friensdship.
Peace and let's walk naked in the cool forests to calm our minds.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

*OOC*

I wonder what's happening to Ryleth? Log is showing that they haven't staled to date, but it's stat definitely looks like a staled nation.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

There is no one here and you see nothing. *McEscher face*

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Greetings ULM!

Pangaea will give you our hands.Good luck!

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

To leaders of Bandar Log:
Stray no further, lest we bring down our unholy might upon you. However, we have pressing matters to attend to and thus it would be for the best if we kept our borders as they currently are.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

We announce to whoever Pangaea's Western Neighbor is, Pangaea's forces are composed mainly of naked women and one such force mixed in with a small contingent of lightly armed Satyrs/minotaur have already meet their demise in our lands to virtually no losses to us. Their total national "army" as of now is composed of less then 140 such naked girls and some satyrs/minotaurs.

It would be an excellent opportunity to conquer some of Pangaea's rich soils while they seek to "overrun" us with naked women (not that our Vaettis mind of course, they get very excited over the recent influx of naked women slaves).

Truly, do save us from laughing ourselves to death against the invading horde of naked women, it has proved highly disruptive to our meetings of Jarls, where decisions on the issue could not be made due to non-stop guffaws.

Barring that, we suppose we must stamp out the Pans and take their rich soils for ourselves.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Great News ! We will dance naked in the woods when we win this war :-) You bring naked girls and I bring famous Ulm wine !

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Laugh as long as you can !

And please keep me some barel of beer in your castle...

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Oh Unmentionable R'lyeh

Take free water stuff
castle province we get
have happy NAPping!

two not connected
NAP important rest not so
happy rice feasting ;)

Dearest
BvG, Shinuyama

Translation (short for time saving)
NAP 3 suggested. independent suggestion: we'd like the castle, don't care for unclaimed water province(s).

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

Sorry, all your beer are belong to us!

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

*whisper* It's somewhat disturbing that everyone seems to be aware of our name. And that we exist. *whisper-and-glance*

A star child makes several mouth gestures indicating that we will happily accept your goblin-infested NAP-3. We only ask that the beaches remain clear for any human women who wish to go swimming.

As for the capital of our leafy-green bordermates, mmmm... this is an interesting issue. We are inclined to say "If you can take it, it's yours." But then... *peers thoughtfully out to sea*

Waves pass, and behind them several mindslaves could be heard absently gibbering:
"But at peace with the master, they'll only be able to expand directly into the Smouldercone!"

Re: MA game: Great Forum, game running
 

To the Gods of Vanheim and Ermor:

The Most Exulted Monkey Council deems it wise to confirm that we intend to expand no further into your respective realms and thus offer each of you an NAP3.

To ensure good relations heed our advice: leave 124 and 108 be. They will bend the knee to us in the next few months.
