Re: Bug
 

Yeah. Don't try shape changing on the battlefield if you don't have the slots, otherwise you're going to drop your items.

Re: Punitive Action
 

Well, if you do dogpile on me in yet another game, I hope LA Mictlan gets the best of me, putting him in a position to zerg your face into the ground.

Server down?
 

Server is down, can't upload my turn.

Re: Server down?
 

I can't either

Re: Server down?
 

It's back up.

Re: Continue the 24 hour cycle..
 

I'm with everyone else and also vote to keep the 24 hour clock cycle instead of the 48 hour clock since so many people are doing their turns early.

Re: Continue the 24 hour cycle..
 

I agree. I think the 24 hour clock is still relevant. This is a very big game, after all.

Re: Continue the 24 hour cycle..
 

i vote for 24 hour clock for longer

Re: Punitive Action
 

Training exercises were a success, everyone involved heard the leveling *ding*, and will be receiving new orders. (Un)fortunately the exercises were a bit too vigorous and spilled over into neighboring provinces, accidentally annexing them.

While we regret the transgression our advisors propose retaining the newly annexed provinces in exchange for the two provinces adjacent to our capital.

Re: Punitive Action
 

yeah 24 hours for another week would be nice.

Re: Punitive Action
 

Another vote for 24 hours.

Re: Punitive Action
 

24 hours for me too.

Re: Punitive Action
 

am also for 24h turns

Re: Punitive Action
 

24 hours me too.

Maybe 48 hours in one or two weeks?

Re: Punitive Action
 

24 hour vote from me as well.

Re: Punitive Action
 

Heh, you can bet on anyone active enough to post on these forums to vote for 24 hours for next week or two - the situation in the game isn't yet that complex you'd need hours to play one turn. I'd think the only problem are people not frequently reading the boards. There are some, after all.

Re: Punitive Action
 

well none seems to have any problem taking their turns in 24 hours, so why not stick with it a while longer ?

Re: Punitive Action
 

I would vote for 24 hrs as well, though my vote will soon be mute as my necromantic cousins, Lanka, are about to lay waste to my tiny little Kailasa kingdom. Retreating to the safety of our walls is only temporary at best and soon hordes of Palankashas will over run us, as our slain are quickly given unholy life to help swell their undead ranks.

I think I may be the first player out soon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Punitive Action
 

I doubt that since 2 players are already out.

Re: Punitive Action
 

I vote for 24 hours.

Death to Midgard!
 

I agree, 24 hours.

Let it be known to all free Men (also lizardmen and monkeys) that your cries of lamentation have not fallen on deaf ears!

The generous God, Knife Bright Insight, Prince of the Aurora, Lord of the Dawn, has sent forth his unconquerable legions to smite the vile and treacherous Midgard, lest he spread his reign of Incontinence, Pederasty and Blood Sacrifice over the whole of the land!

Death to midgard! As long as free Men (also lizards, monkeys) stand against him, we shall triumph!

Re: Death to Midgard!
 

24 is good for me. Not like I have much management to do. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

But I do wish I was getting the emails when it hosts. For some reason I am not getting them.

Re: Death to Midgard!
 

Ok, theoretically, I vote 24 hours too, but here's the thing-and I'd like to bring this to the board, rather than just ask Velusion.

I'm moving this week. I'll have access to the game for today, and tomorrow, but Wednesday night and Thursday night I won't. And I may possibly not, after that, depending on how long it takes the phone company to set us up-because of the work I do, I need special services/equipment. So I'm fine for 24 hours for the next two days, but after that it would help me a ton if we could-just temporarily-go 48 hours, say for 2 or 3 turns, max.
Maybe that would help others keep up with the game too, I don't know.
If noone else wants to go 48 hours for a little while, then I'll just ask someone to cover me and play my turn for a while.

Re: Death to Midgard!
 

I would like 48hrs, I never know when a pile of works going to turn up in my in tray...the original post did make it clear after turn 18, 48hrs. Some of us only joined because of that you know...

I hope I am not a lone voice in the wilderness and some others want 48hrs.

re
 

I'd also vote 24 hours.

Re: re
 

I'll vote for 24 -- *unless* it means that we're going to lose some players. I think it's more important to keep everyone in.

Re: re
 

I like the 24 hour turns. But if enough people need 48 hour turns, I'm cool with that as well.

Re: re
 

another vote for 24

Re: re
 

I am out of this game, that makes me second, i think?

Re: re
 

Gonna have to vote 24

Re: re
 

Hm, everyone agreed on Velusion's schedule (48 quickhost from turn 18 on) by joining the game, and I was thinking this debate was more of a "let's change it if no-one objects", not a excercise in tyranny of the majority. Personally 24 hours would suit me for a while, but since already several people have indicated that they'd prefer we stick to the plan I'm not seeing any reason not to. After all, if we want to make this game go faster, everyone can bear their burden by doing their turns. It's a quickhost after all.

But, of course, I'm not the one to decide anything. Just saying.

Re: Punitive Action
 

Sorry guys... if you have problem with the turn host schedule you need to bring it up before the game starts, not right before the change.

Re: Punitive Action
 

This is NOT a democracy!

it's a perpetu-ocracy!

Re: Punitive Action
 

I just have to say that I like to do every 2 hour turns, sadly nobody else wants that so it might be a good idea to stick with the plan. ie every 48 from now on.

on a side note pls try for every 2! k thks

Re: Punitive Action
 

I'd love to do 2 hours, but that would probably result in divorce. So, better 48 hours http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Punitive Action
 

48 hours is okay, but we should start setting people to CPU if they stale with no explanation.

Also, Midgard must die!

Re: Punitive Action
 

The foul nations of La C'tis and EA Man have joined together in an unholy alliance against Midgard. Like the vultures they are they waited on the edges of the conflict till Midgard was weakened in its battle with EA C'Tis.

Our army is 800 man strong, and growing. It will break the back of both forces, and give no quarter to the chicken livered nations that attempt to capitalize on poor fortunes of Midgard.

Let it be known, to any nation that raises arms against C'tis or Man, and can prove, via "screen shots", that they are laying full siege to either of these nations, we will pay a 1500 gold bounty to those nations. Even if we should fall, we will make sure that this money is paid to those that join Midgard in its valiant struggle against hostile intruders.

Jazzepi

The sobs of Midgard
 

Ooh ooh, Marverni feels slighted! Even though we are down to our one indomitable village, there is no need to omit mentioning us as a member of the anti-Midgard alliance. Especially since your supposedly valiant 800 werewolves cannot even kill our only unit, the One-Eyed Menhir.

The lands Man and CTis have 'intruded' upon are only 'yours' because you took them by force from Marverni. So please, take your teary sad tales of woe and your violins elsewhere.

Re: Punitive Action
 

The "Alliance" as Midgard call it is'nt an opportunist movement to steal Maverni's Homeland. We're not heading to his capital, were heading to yours.

And dont think the other nations can be corrupted so easily. That money you offer is the gold your pillaged from Maverni. Be sure to tell to your future saviors that you'll destroy them too after, and that you'll use the gold from their homelands to buy other dispendable friends.

Re: Punitive Action
 

Don't forget the incontinence and pederasty he would inflict upon any naive fools who sided with him.

Re: Punitive Action
 

i support 24 hours easier to keep up with since i have already been quite train to visit the game each day.

Re: Punitive Action
 

I'd be happy if the host would change his mind.
Still, his 'vote' counts more than all of ours I'm afraid.

And then there are some folks who prefer 48h...

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

The only thing I don't like about going to 48 hours at this point is the vast majority of players end up waiting the full 48 hrs for the inevitable stalers.

After 36 hours only two players have left to take thier turn and I'd be willing to bet that they'll end up staling.

Yes we agreed on the turns at the start of the game, but I would expect the players who consistently stale to be closely monitored and the agreed-upon terms of turning thier nations over to AI if necessary be strictly enforced.

Re: Punitive Action
 

Its not a matter of vote, host is right.

Its a 62 player game, not 4 friends playing together, so we better let it be 48 hours as it was decided before the start.

We all agreed, btw. As we are ~60, theyre is probably many players that prefer 48 hours but without saying it there, especially because of the majority.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

About the two players staling. I would suspect you are wrong. I am one of those players and It would have been impossible for me to get my turn in yesterday due to two exams. I am working on my turn currently and should be done in the next little bit.

I would like to add that I am grateful for the 48 hour turn limit. It allows me to stay in this game.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I'm surprised at the lack of activity in this post. This used to be the most happening post around! (Well, I do acknowledge the fact that this post is getting mighty long, and should probably be split).

That said, LA Pan, led by Gonzo the Ugly, is doing OK in it's small little corner of the world. We're planting many a crop of lovely weeds, and are quite amused watching the many nasty wars going on around our borders. In fact, we've recruited several Harpie Reporters to spy out the many battles, and report back for the Pan 6 O'Clock News. It's by far our top rated show.
For a recap... Thrice Blessed Neifelheim is doing better, but still looking a little stressed. Mighty LA Ermor looks to be reeling a bit, but should recover, and MA Ermor (we Pans live in an Ermor sandwich, if you readers did not know) appears to be pursuing the path of peace (ah, well).

Best of luck to all involved, and may the nation with the most Sleep Vines win!

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I just took my turn-was I the other one?

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Have you, by any chance, missed the gazillion "I am addicted and want to keep the 24 hours timer" posts in here the last past days? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Well, there might not have happened much new stuff during the last... turn or so. People can trash-talk about Midgård only so much while accomplishing nothing conclusive.

That being said, an official letter from the prophet of MA Agartha, written verbatim as dictated:

"The recent cries of nations all over the eastern continent have been heard by the Agarthan rulers, which comes a bit of a surprise as most of them are hard on hearing given their old age. They're much distressed by Man's labeling of people suffering of incontinence as it's a natural consequence of an old age and nothing to be ashamed of. However, given the cold climate spread by our neighbours which is harmful to both the old bones of our geriatrics and to the pride of some our pantless troops and leaders, a course of action has been decided.

Agarthan geriactrics have taken their walking sticks and started their journey to rid the world of the cold evil that is LA *cough*gård (sorry, it's a bit cold here). Our opponent has already been notified as the honor and old treaties demand, and the battle will be joined in due time. After all, while old feet are reliable, they're by no means swift.

Respectfully yours,
Squishy the second, prophet of Lodvathu, MA Agartha

P.S: Please get your scouts out of our lands. Watching four scout slayings this turn alone gets tedious really fast."
