Re: Setsumi - LA game, upload pretenders!
 

Helloes, gentlemen.

For the next two weeks, I will be on a vacation. I have a sub, but since this game is getting goddamn intense, I would like to ask you for a slower schedule. Like, one turn per week, for two weeks - hope its reasonable enough.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Setsumi - LA game, upload pretenders!
 

No problem with me - I wouldn't object even to 2-week pause [as anyone subbing into position like that may find it really hard].

Re: Setsumi - LA game, upload pretenders!
 

Yup, that would be ideal.

I may be able to submit a turn per week myself - I'll take a notebook with me. Just cant guarantee that. And since our host is not playing himself... lets hear what others say.

Maybe go to a one-week interval for just the next two weeks then go back to 72 hours after that?

Re: Setsumi - LA game, upload pretenders!
 

I don't mind going slower for a while if it means important players play better :)

Re: Setsumi - LA game, upload pretenders!
 

1.7mb turn file... that's huge.

46 battles. Some really bad, some really great. Kuritza will be really unhappy when he sees one :)

I'm officially done and dead - Ermors attack broke my neck. I'm setting to ai.

Re: Setsumi - LA game, upload pretenders!
 

Maybe this is getting a bit repetitive but at least I haven't said it before.

With Marignon going AI maybe we should end the game and declare Zeldor the winner ?

Re: Setsumi - LA game, upload pretenders!
 

Maybe had Utgard and Rlyeh moved against Ermor, this game wouldnt be so sadly one-sided?
Maybe if they will wake up now (at last) we will still have a chance to revive this sad game?

So far, this game followed the most stupid scenario in whole Dominions: LA Ermor is surrounded by new/staling players, he absorbs them one by one, everyone thinks 'its OK because I will get some leftovers now, and then we'll unite'. 'THEN' it turns out that Ermor has grown too strong and everyone says 'oh I wont win anyway, so why should I care, I'll keep turtling'.
Really, Baaltz should mention such things in his 'players pledge'.

P.S.
Cant say I am surprised about the death of my SCs. 'What can poor Ermor with his weak chaff do against teleporting Air Queens', right? :) Repeatedly teleporting SCs are very vulnerable. Too bad they didnt even inflict any casualties on you over this whole time. Just some 'useless freespawn'.
But at least they staled your advance for a few turns, and now I am one castle closer to your deadlands. I hope to prove a very unpleasant (read: challenging) neighbour yet. Alas, it wont be enough...

I'm really annoyed, to be honest. This is one of my best games - I took a rather limited nation and expanded into everything, getting a position that would be considered very powerful in any other game. But it wont change anything in Setsumi because of the stupid, stupid, stupid metagame.
Sigh.

P.P.S.

Just in case... if I didnt make myself clear enough: no, dont end this game now, goddamnit.

Jumping completely into this thread without any right to be here, but Kuritza, i totally know how you feel. I did almost the same thing in Ruby, and took the weak nation of LA atlantis to a very powerful position, and then got screwed over since no one wanted to gang up against Ermor, and the third most powerful nation (besides myself and ermor) allied with ermor to kill Mari.

you have explained perfectly why i firmly believe LA ermor shouldn't be in any games. not because they are so invincible when playing with players who are aware of what LA ermor is like, but because in every game, you get nations/players who just don't care. Not to insult any of the players in this game, but it happens.
