Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

After all the delays I did not realize the turn was due so soon.:doh:

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I won't have time to look at my turn before the deadline, need one more day.
Also, 3-hr extension to the turn timer would be welcome, so the deadline won't creep earlier and earlier.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Ok, time added and game delayed by 24h(+3).

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

The Aegis up for grabs!

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

You're welcome ;)

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Completely forgot about darkness. Stupid me.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I have to admit, that wasn't the fight I was expecting either. I seem to be mastering the art of the Pyrrhic victory in this game.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Relax guys. Just send a spy to the middle and be thankful that you're not in my shoes. ;)

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I'm going to have to ask for another delay. Between having to work Saturday and other commitments I'm not likely to have time for anything but sleep...
One day will be enough.

I got a quick look at the turn this morning, but even that made me late to work. Curse the early morning turns!

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

24 hours have been added to the clock.

It wasn't a half bad turn there was it...;)

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

No, that's part of why I had to see what happened.

On the other hand, I lost a large army last turn without doing much damage...

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Hey, at least there were some commanders who did not ignore my spell script. Not that it really matters.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Real Life is interfering again. I'm going to need another day.

Sorry

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

24h added.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

What would people think about changing the host interval to 3 days?
My turns are getting long and are about to get more complicated. I also don't have a lot of time to spend on this at the moment.

Or we can stick to the current schedule and I can ask for delays every couple of turns...

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I don't mind 3 days, I like relaxed schedules as I have only about 1 hour/day for dom.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

A 3 day hosting interval is probably better, I just got back to the university today after a months break so I'll have much less time for Dominions myself, and I might miss delay requests as the game hosts at a very inconvenient time for me here.

Hosting interval changed to 75h, and subsequently this turn delayed by 24h.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I am attending a previously unplanned workshop/conference.
Most probably I will submit my turn today (so it won't delay hosting time), but I'd welcome a 24-hr extension just in case.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Game delayed 24 hours, I kinda need the delay too.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

/long sigh

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Sorry about the additional 8h added on my behalf. Game about to host now.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I'm going to have to ask for another delay. I've done nothing but work and sleep since Thursday.
One day might be enough, I'll post again tomorrow if it isn't.

Sorry for the hassle.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

24h added.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I've got to ask for another day. This can't last much longer, the deadline was yesterday :)

Sorry again.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I love the sound deadlines make as they go whooshing past.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Ahm, okay, 24 hours added.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

One more day. I swear that's all.

I have to leave early tomorrow anyway. So I will have some time. After that it should be okay, at least for awhile.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

You're like a junky, you just keep coming back for more and more! :)

No problem, 24 hours added.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

1 Patala PD sliced my fully kitted Ember Lord open and gave him a limp, and they say monkey pd is crap...

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

The deed of Goganu the Atevi Chieftan, standing alone and hamstringing the mighty Ember Lord shall be remembered long after Bogarus is forgotten.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I'm going to need another extension. I should be able to get it done tonight, but that depends on how late I'm stuck here.

There doesn't seem to be any end in sight. I'm going to start looking for a sub. Even with extensions I don't have the time or brain-power left to do a good job. I've been basically reactive these last couple weeks, not able to do any real planning.

It's a shame, because this has been a good game and looks like it's shaping up to be a good endgame, but I just can't keep up with it.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I will add 24 hours to the clock for now.

Are you sure about the sub? We can add more time to the clock until you sort your RL stuff out if you're having problems.
I'd rather not lose you at this point, or any point for that matter.

We've entered the late stage of the game and a sub would unlikely perform as well as you would/have with Patala (subbing at this point can be rather hard).

Also, apologies for me being a paranoid admin, Arnob, Atlantis, are you still here with us?

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Paranoid admin is a good thing. This game has had less stales than any I've been in.

It wouldn't be hard to do better than I've been doing the last few turns. Everything's been pretty much running on autopilot, but the things I've been overlooking are starting to add up. Not starting gem carriers on their way in time, just forging a bunch of standard gear instead of figuring out what I'm really going to need, etc, etc

I'm not going to just disappear. Hopefully I can get someone with some experience and I can give him an info dump on what's been going on.

I've been going back and forth on this all weekend, but the game has just become one more source of stress that I really don't need. And I don't know how long work's going to be ridiculous. There's another big project coming up after this one.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Yes, this game has had but a few stales which is remarkable, and everybody seems determined to fight to the bitter end. On that part this is probably my favorite game so far.

Thanks for the heads up and not just disappearing, not that that can be helped sometimes when RL interferes.
Please let me know if you need help looking for a sub, also if you need more time to do the current turn. After the current turn I will delay the game until a suitable replacement is found for you.

Sorry to see you go, it's been a great game so far, and I've personally enjoyed watching all your battles with Gath. :)

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

And I wound up working much later than I'd hoped again and just passed out when I got home.

Another extension please.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Game delayed, will stay so until I get a conformation from Atlantis too.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I've put another 24 hours up. Atlantis in nowhere to be found. He hasn't been active for a while on the forums and he's not responding to the admin email I've sent his either. We may need a sub for him as well.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

thejeff, are you able to submit your turn?
I've added an additional 24 hours, yet again. Seeing how Atlantis is nowhere to be found I'll put up an add for a sub tomorrow rather than have Atlantis stale for the second time.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

So, what are we going to do with 3 stales?

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Luckily I managed to get home exactly 1 minute too late to postpone the hosting again...

I don't mind the stales personally, but in any case I certainly wouldn't recommend a rollback either. The real question is what are we going to do with Patala and Atlantis?

The sub threads have been up for a few days with no takers yet, somehow I doubt that's gonna change sadly. So, if anyone has any bright idea I'd like to hear them? Just setting them AI seems game breaking to me.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I am now in charge of the holy nation of Atlantis.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Okay, looks like we've got new leadership for both Atlantis and Patala.
Numahr, rmcolosimo, thank you both for stepping in and welcome to the game.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

OK, with 2 new players, what are our diplomatic relations then? I assume all existing treaties are cancelled, as usual.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

I am willing to consider continuity of treaties, while reserving the right to re-consider them. If you wish a treaty to be confirmed/continued, approach our chancellerie.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Can we have a 24-h extension?

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Extension granted.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Can I get 6-hr extension? I could not do my turn during the weekend, I'd rather avoid rushing the turn.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Please add 24h for this turn.

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 8/10 left
 

Extension granted.

Jomon you cheeky bastard, leave my damn gold mines alone!

Re: LA Game - World of Symmetry 7/10 left
 

Thank you participating Samhain and fighting it out to the end.

Also, you must have really wanted that PoD dead Dimaz, that was a bit overkill...
