Re: Proposition 50
 

I would like to suggest that Prop 50 is thrown out, as a proposition that was never announced here - bad precedent to set, even if a decent proposition.

Re: Proposition 50
 

cainehill, you mean like in the above quote, which you managed to past after at some point?

the council cannot be held responsible for your own irresponsibility.

email change
 

Hello everyone,

Effectively immediately, I'll be changing email addresses. My username is the same, but I'll be at gmail.com instead of earthlink.net. The old one will work for a while, but not forever.

If you need to contact me and don't have my address, just PM me through this forum.

Thanks!

Re: email change
 

Could anyone take over in this game for me/find some-one to do so, due to windows bloody xp i currently cant get dominions working.

Re: email change
 

Can you elaborate on the problem? Maybe someone can help. Dom2 seems like a pretty benign program that shouldn't cause trouble.

Re: email change
 

Read the technical/hardware issues sticky.

Re: email change
 

Hopefully we'll have a new Ermor player by next Saturday... Otherwise, I think it would be better to turn them AI than to let them sit stagnant? (Burden of Time, anyone? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Also, Ygorl is trumpeting his successes in battle against Mictlan on the Yarnspinners page. Might be worthwhile reading for anyone out there hoping to scoop up the odd unique summon (though, of course, there will be no mention of Mannish casualties... I'll leave that to Apep http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif)

Re: email change
 

whats the rule when a large sneaking army takes out patrolling forces, thus putting them in siege of the castle of the province?

I know the province is clearly contested (by the charter,) but am I right in thinking attacking within the castle would cause roguehood, since it is an active move to take the province without council ruling?

Re: email change
 

I think we talked about this a while back, and the consensus was that if sneakers were discovered, beat their discoverers, and as a result took over a province or contested a castle, there was nothing illegal about that - so, since a contested province may be contested by either party, it's legal to then siege and take the castle.
I might be wrong, though.

Re: email change
 

its certainly a loophole to the "no stealth attacks without council approval" portion of the charter. how would his attacking my castle work towards his attackability under prop 39?

Re: email change
 

Taking someone's castle would pretty clearly make the taker subject to Prop. 39 revenge, is my interpretation. For what that's worth... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Man, destroyer of Worlds
 

Mictlan will not be posting about Man's losses -- simply because he does not have any yet. His horde of well-equipped SCs and air mages will soon rule the world unless other Wyrms stand up against him.

(As noted elsewhere, I strongly feel that irrevocably turning Ermor AI would spoil an interesting game. I would prefer to see him stale a turn or two until a replacement can be found.)

Man, inhabiter of Worlds
 

I agree about Ermor... But if we can't find a replacement at all, it seems like it would be better to turn them AI than to just let them sit until they're gone? I guess we can worry about that if it comes to it... KissBlade's got the turn now, so hopefully it will grab his interest.

Incidentally, not very nice of whoever it was that dispelled my Well of Misery. But fine, if you want your sorrows back, you can have them!
This turn, at least.

Also, things aren't quite as determined as Puffyn'd have you believe (though I hope they're more determined than I'd have you believe... I don't think so though! Especially if Ermor resumes pounding on me... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) He's throwing some nasty stuff at me, and I think I probably got very lucky in killing his two black-ops commanders this past turn - to those who complain that the spellcasting AI stinks, I say "not always!"

Re: Man, inhabiter of Worlds
 

I would need the conceptual balance mod as well. =)

Re: Man, inhabiter of Worlds
 

You can get it from this thread:
http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...o=&fpart=1

Re: email change
 

Passage of http://yarnspinners.improbable.org/W...=Proposition51

would certainly clear up any confusion.

Re: email change
 

well about a war between us, but not about the loophole.

Re: email change
 

Alright, is there anyone able to tell me which royalties/blood summons are available or unavailable by chance? There seems just an incredible amount of stuff needed to catch up on =\.

Re: email change
 

chances are nothing is available.

Re: email change
 

I would still like you guys to continue searching for a replacement. There really just seems to be entirely too much to handle here for my very very packed schedule =). However, I will attempt to sub while able and hopefully not stale any turns.

Re: email change
 

You can look on the game wiki at
http://yarnspinners.improbable.org/W...itle=Main_Page
in the Proclamations section, I've been announcing uniques as I kill them (fighting the just fight! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
There's at least a heliophagus and a demon lord up. Possibly others, depending on how religiously Puffyn's been resummoning them (or if other people have taken them; I'm not sure).
I'm pretty sure all the elemental royalty are taken - except there might be a fire king available, if Puffyn didn't resummon him.

Thanks so much for subbing, and hopefully you'll get sucked in and want to stay to the bitter (or sweet?) end!

Re: email change
 

eh ... I suppose it will be easier if I wasn't just suddenly thrown in with no actual update and information from the previous player.

Re: email change
 

The previous player (Shovah) only played 1 or 2 turns. The player before that (Folket) has given up his Dom2 habit.

If you're feeling really motivated, you can read through the history of the game on the wiki - or you can start with a clean slate, as a new personality of this already mercurial Wyrm, and renegotiate all your relationships...

Or you can just keep the nation from totally stagnating while we find a longer-term replacement.

As you like it!

Re: email change
 

While I certainly wouldn't mind a new personality it does seem that if Mictlan is engaged in war against the dominant player (you) it only makes sense to continue warfare currently, at least until you're about equal level. I certainly wouldn't mind a council position again since I rather like diplomacy in a game =).

Re: email change
 

I bet you could get reinstated if you made up back payments on the Nexus tax... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Also, on more mundane administrative things... I'm going to be out of the US (France!) for a couple weeks, starting next Wednesday. We can either just skip two hostings, or we can host as normal this coming Saturday and I can host again on Wednesday right before I leave and then again on Wednesday or Thursday two weeks later, right after I get back.
Er, more coherently, we can host on 9/9 and then again on 9/30, or we can host on 9/9, 9/13, 9/28 and 9/31 (Sunday rather than Saturday to avoid the two-day turn).

What do people prefer? I'm happy either way...

Re: email change
 

You send the turns, I'll play it when I get it.

Re: email change
 

I would certainly like to skip two hostings just to get my bearings. =) And I would like to plead my case to the collective council on why a tax on the Arcane Nexus is not necessary.

Re: email change
 

I wonder if the game will survive a 3-week gap in hosting. Participation in the council seems to have really fallen off (the current proposition has drawn only 2 votes in over 24 hours).

I think this game was a truly grand idea. Maybe other people are satisfied with how it turned out, but I had hoped for and expected a lot more war-related council activity. Instead, it turned into the world's biggest turtle-fest. Make no mistake, I am as much to blame as anyone else - I could have easily tried to declare war on someone much earlier. The endgame seems now to only hold the interest of the top 2 or 3 nations (minus Ermor, that is). Personally, I really would like to be out of this game by the time dom3 comes out.

Re: email change
 

Well, I'm offering the option of a "mere" two-week gap.
Are other people still having fun though? If not, there's no reason to continue... We don't have an obligation to crown a supreme wyrm.

I don't feel like I haven't had enough war, incidentally... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

If it really is only a couple people still enjoying the game, we should probably end the story here. If people are enjoying it quietly, though, let's press on... I've got some demons and (with the potential return of Ermor) ghouls and wolves to kill...

Re: email change
 

To be honest, I do think there is just way too much turmoil in my current swap in (since I hardly have a clue what your usual army/tactics are =) ) to say that it is a pretty safe bet that you have the game unless I'm able to employ some dastardly underhanded tactics such as assimilating idle empires =). The Nexus certainly helps but I'm not even certain of what 5.1 balance mods include though I noticed that wraith swords weren't nerfed and your treelords can fly XD.

Re: email change
 

I'm kinda busy right now, but still enjoying it.

Re: email change
 

Whatever hosting schedule other folks want is fine for me, with the caveat that turns be no less than 48 hrs apart, and the next host time is always given in the turn email.

I'm still having fun. The quiet on the current proposition could be a number of things: strategic silence, an unwillingness to get involved, anything. Personally, Marignon is biding its time, because I fear my first war will be my last.

Re: email change
 

I've been lurking this thread, and i'd like to point out:
09/28/05 ------ First Post
09/07/06 ------ Today
3 More weeks and it will have been a full year.

Re: email change
 

wow

time sure flies

Re: email change
 

There's no way I can make the Wednesday deadline for the turn -.-. I thought the next turn was due Saturday!

Re: email change
 

Back in the middle of page 92 (!!!) I said that I'd be out of town for a couple weeks, and I could either host right before I left and right after I came back, meaning two weeks between hosts but the same number as we would have had, or I could skip the two hosts when I'll be gone. Consensus seemed to be to do the former. I'm happy to do the latter, though. In that case, the turn is not due Wednesday but instead is due Saturday, Sept. 30, at noon.
That's a long time... Sorry folks, but I need my vacation!

New proposition
 

A new, improved Proposition is available for your greedy (er, voting) pleasure:

http://yarnspinners.improbable.org/W...=Proposition52

Come one, come all! Come get some gems!

Re: New proposition
 

So, with hosting in less than 24 hours (or maybe a bit more, if real life interferes), I've only received three turns. Does this mean people are too distracted by the imminent arrival of Dom3 to want to continue this game? Or are the turns forthcoming?

Re: New proposition
 

did you get my turn way back when?

Re: New proposition
 

I will try to enter my turn in by the end of tonight. There's A LOT of organization I need to do. Not to mentiono, I have to scout all the forces that you have because I don't have much intelligence info >_<.

Re: New proposition
 

Wish, I got yours.
Kiss, no need for scouting. As far as I'm concerned, we're not even *really* at war... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New proposition
 

Seems to me then you should return that fort you just took and I'll agree to that one ~_^ ... Oh I got home EXTRAORDINARILY late on Friday night, if you can wait till the end of Saturday, I'll be able to turn in my turn hurriedly >_<. However if people are starting to drop out, I think it's safe to call man the winner at this point.

Re: New proposition
 

I think you have my turn, yes? (Ulm)

Pasha

Re: New proposition
 

I, too, promise to get my turn in by tonight...

Re: New proposition
 

I've got Abysia, Jotun, Man, Pythium, and Ulm at this point. No problem with waiting. I've got a full day ahead of me anyway.

Re: New proposition
 

I sent in a somewhat rushed turn =).

Re: New proposition
 

Good think you posted that list--I sent my turn on Sept. 16, but apparently it didn't arrive. Resent...

Re: New proposition
 

Sorry all that I didn't get the turns out until so late today; my housemate's parents were visiting...

Re: New proposition
 

So, is this game continuing after the Dom 3 wave?

Re: New proposition
 

When in doubt, propose another proposition!

Is there anywyrm brave enough, or political enough, to try to claim victory through council proposition? Who truly controls the largest voting bloc? The wyrm from Man, besides being our gracious host, holds the most territory, and continues to hold it (with some slippage) against two strong contenders. Will he attempt to claim victory?

(Note: although a clause in "game settings" allows a wyrm to claim victory with 12 VPs, oddly enough, that clause does not appear in the charter! Even if it did, another proposition would presumably take precedence.)
