Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Two stalls in a row for Samoht and no response to messages... looks like another MIA. I guess we'll start looking for a sub if he doesn't show up shortly.

Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Put in a sub request. I'm putting the timer back 24 hours to give us an opportunity to find a sub and give whoever it is a chance to get up to speed. Thanks to everyone here for hanging in there through all these shenanigans.

Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Thanks for taking on the burden Adam J. Unfortunately looks like several games are losing some people at the same time.

Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Schoelle has graciously offered to sub for Niefelheim. Thanks Schoelle!

Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Hi - I am in the game an trying to get familiar with the positions.

I am happy to honor any NAP, so please PM me if there is something agreed (please don't cheat).

Greetings Schoelle, good luck and welcome to the game!

AdamJ / mattyburn7 - I don't mind taking up some admin duties if needed; though because of my timezone I am probably active only while most of you are asleep or at work.

Jotwebe of Pan -> I hope that backstabbing me despite our NAP3 was worth it. Whatever the justification (yes I sincerely appreciate your talent in roleplay and storytelling in the other AAR game), it shall be remembered.
You also pretty much voided whatever agreement you have had with any other nation.

May the Ground beneath your feet swallow your kingdom whole! :mad:

Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Err... we didn't have a NAP, I'm pretty sure. After we had our first expansion party run-in in Sleepy Woods, we agreed to borders and peace, but not a NAP. If I sign those, they go into the notes file I keep on every nation. Because otherwise it'd be impossible to keep them straight. This did make me rather nervous for long stretches of the game.

Here's what I have from our archived PMs:

I know little about Yomi though and I am not looking begin aggression just yet...

I have no idea where caelum is.... but looking at their province count im sure they have a fair amount of neighbours.

Anyway, you've got KeithZ's Yomi to your south (my west) - I've sent them a message of peaceful greetings, but they haven't answered anything. Caelum is around somewhere, too - Aderion's asked for a NAP-3 and got it. From his expansions, it looks like he's more or less following the Baalz guide.

Thing is, I know all my neighbors by now, and while I still have a few of the tougher indies to snatch up, it's probably time to look for alliances and targets. With that in mind, would you be interested in an alliance against Yomi?

</message></privatemessage>

Re-reading that, I realize that you may have taken the "alliance against Yomi" offer as also containing a NAP. That's not how it was meant, if you had asked for one, I'd probably have accepted, but I think an alliance, without a NAP, just to kill a common neighbour is perfectly reasonable.

Anyway, as I recall it you declined, since you still had plenty of indies. At that point I was considering allying with Yomi instead (with or without NAP) and attacking you, but then Yomi grabbed some provices that would have been nicely defensible and cut me off from further expansion, so I contacted mattyburn7 instead, who had similar experiences with Yomi.

Then of course you remembered my offer and swept in at the end of the Yomi war, snatching up the capital. That's when I started researching blood ;)

So that's my view of things.

Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Thanks for the offer Shard, I think we're good on the administrator front for now between me and mattyburn. Might want to revisit the issue if/when me or mattyburn get knocked out.

Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

I'm sorry but I will be travelling extensively again from today and for the next few weeks, is it possible to extend the current timer by another 48 hours as well as extend the overall timer by another 12 hours?

If its too much of a drag I don't mind looking for a sub.

Re: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Shard: I went ahead and put the delay in. I'm ok with it as long as everyone else is. If you see any issues with it please let me know.
Thanks!
