That's really ominous

I thought you said the timer was turned off? It seems to be on 48 hours. Also, when I connect to the server the game hangs and I have to close it with the task manager, but when I try again it's fine.

I have that problem too! And I emailed gandalf about it, it'll happen when he does it. I don't actually have direct control of the server, it's just that gandalf is usually so insanely prompt that my requests are answered within minutes.

I dunno about Ryleh, but I'm willing to declare a truce so that our newest sub (thanks btw!) can get his feet under him. The situation otherwise would be fairly grim. Also short, unless I drastically miss my guess, which is just no fun at all.

It really doesn't matter, almost no research has been done, the pretender is a joke, the comanders that have been hired are among the worst independents have to offer...I have almost no mages...its truly amazing.

Ouch. Well, it's a newb game. On the bright side, I was considering starting up another newb game somewhat soon, so maybe you could hop on that later for a full game instead of a massacre.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
 

Eh, I'm okay trying to fend off the attacks until I am massacred, lol. But, there is no reason to let off of me to give me a chance, the nation has fallen way too far behind to make that worthwile.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
 

Well, I'll continue to massacre you then. :D I'm surprised that the position was that hopeless, but then it is a newb game. That's one disadvantage to having graphs off, you overestimate your opponent. On the other hand, they may overestimate you.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
 

Alright, just thought I'd make the offer. I subbed into a fairly hopeless position over in another game recently, so I know the feeling. Also, yes, I'm a bit surprised at just how hopeless it is as well, though the mind hunting there at the end might have a bit to do with the commander selection, anyway.

I've been having the hanging thing upon login happen as well, every time. I found that my firewall was interfering, which is unusual, since it hadn't been before.
