Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Sorry about that. Will do my best to lift my game! :)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Are we going to have a break or no turn timer for a while over Christmas?

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Internet problems here right now

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

im afraid i didnt see it in time. do u want me to extend the current turn?

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I'm hoping that everything will be up and running when I get home from work today. I should know in about 7 hours.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Didn't Ulm say he was going AI? Did he forget to send in his turn file that says to go AI? 4 stales...

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I wasn't clear if he was going AI, or if he meant he'd set up his scripting and was going to leave the nation to stale out (so that the combat scripting holds, and the AI doesn't do anything too dumb whilst under siege). I'm guessing he went with the latter?

Either we need to start force hosting when only Ulm is left, or we need to find a volunteer to set him AI.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Ulm will lose his last province next turn so no need for a volunteer.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

im gonna force the turn as soon as ulms is the only one missing.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

hosting postponed by 24 hrs.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

i will need an extension for this turn plz. And i think i wont be the only one : (less than 4hrs before hosting)

Abysia Waiting for 2h file
Agartha 2h file received
Ermor Waiting for 2h file
Machaka 2h file received
Mictlan Waiting for 2h file
Pangaea 2h file received
Pythium 2h file received
R'lyeh Waiting for 2h file
T'ien Ch'i 2h file received
Ulm Waiting for 2h file

Thanks

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

sure, hosting postponed by 12 hrs. u can help me next time by stating the exact amount of time u would like the turn to be postponed by. (im absolutely sure that was not the grammatically correct word-order :D )

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Ironically, that is exactly the correct word order. The only problem being the spelling of 'you' was off by a couple of letters ;)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

ooks like you might need to add another 12h to the clock, as R'yleh is still outstanding. Just a thought.

Game sure is getting interesting!

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

yes, i have added 12 hrs already. i wonder what amount of time bullock thought he would need for his turn, i why he didnt ask for an exact amount.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Yes, makes it easier :-)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I don't know how i managed to forget the main info of my post ;) i was indeed looking for 24h

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Well it seems that Ermor and me (ryleh) had an undeserved stall this turn.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

ooops. did u ask for extension? this time i didnt have the time to check the server to see if everyone's turn is in.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

no, when i say undeserved it's because we both had sent a turn. I think it's a game bug.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I suspect I may have just screwed up. Sounds like you got bitten though, Bullock - sorry to hear that :-(

BTW, will we be able to move to 48 hour turns soon? I'm back at work from Jan 3, so after that I would really appreciate the longer hosting interval.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I agree with Jimbo on that. I'll have some trouble to keep pace next week too.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

sure, ask for extensions when u think it time.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Speaking of which, going to need a 24h extension this turn - New Years stuffs.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

extended by 24 hrs.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I sent my turn 42 today but I'll be unable to play tommorow. May I ask a 24h extension for the next turn ?
TIA

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

sure, postponed by 24.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I think he meant to let this turn 42 run on schedule and then add the 24 hours onto turn 43.

His T42 is already in.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

oh, u r right. this turn will host as normal then, im gonna undo the postponement.

so, to be clear, the current turn will host with approximately 12 hrs.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Yeah, so this is the turn he wanted the extension on.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

yes, gonna host it on saturday.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

To describe my strategy in this game, i need to resort to analogy.

If the King of Stupid and Queen of Ineptitude had a child, and that child was then gifted by the evil fairy godmother with the twin boons of mild bad luck and extreme poor judgement - it wouldn't hold a candle to glorious incompetence that is my strategy.

I am contemplating summarizing this wisdom as sort of an anti-pattern, a guide to what NOT to do when playing MA Ermor. But that would imply I cared about others, which would constitute false and misleading advertising, and we can't have that now can we? :-)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

What's wrong? The graphs show you're doing pretty well: a good number of provinces, good income, and you're the second best at research. You're not as bad off as me, all I've got is research. :)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I've had a lot of lucky breaks, for which I am very grateful. I guess I just I'm just amused at my inability to capitalise on them. It is a fun game, I have to say :-)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Tien'chi has up to 130 astral pearls for sale. Any amount can be purchased. Make your offer.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

130gold

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Per each? ;)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I've sent you a PM with my offer. It is a bit more generous that Bullock's :-D

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

why don't u make it public so we can bid ? :)

I'd like to propose more but i m broke.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Well, I'll make the price public for now.

I've got an offer of around 35 gold per pearl for all the 130 pearls, and it's from a politically friendly nation, so if there are any new offers, they have to be at least 40 gold per pearl for me to consider it.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I'm going to second the motion to move to a 48 hour schedule.

I've got a very multifronted war here, and 24 hours doesn't seem like enough time to reply back and forth between allies to make sure that we're not sending forces into each other. ;)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

48 hours would be good for me too.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

hosting postponed by 24.

im waiting for the majoritys standpoint on the 48 hrs schedule. its ok for me.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I am able to do my turns within 24 hours but if 2 players already are voting for a longer schedule then I guess we should do that then.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

24h and 48h are both okay.


Also, the pearls have been sold so no need for additional offers.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I am voting in favour of the 48h too.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

hosting changed to 48 hrs then. due to RL events, i need the extra 24 hrs from the schedule change.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Guys! im terribly sorry, but i cant continue playing the game due to unexpected life events. im losing the girl i love, and i cant make myself do any turns nowadays. I guess its one of those situtations, when life takes precedence. I have PM-ed Bullock the admin password. Its been a great joy playing together with you, i hope we will have more fun together in the future, and i wish u all good luck!

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Good luck with working through that, earcaraxe - it is not a fun situation to be in. I completely understand having to give up Dominions for a while.

Will we find a sub for your nation? I think it would be good, if we can.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

CthulhuDreams has volunteered to pick up Abby for us.
