Re: Turn 18
I'm at work and can check the Boards at work, but I can't play. I'll do the turn during lunchtime though, so expect my turn in about two hours or so.
|
Re: Turn 18
Hey, thanks for the explanation. I was curious. I will be asleep when you make your turn! :-)

Oh -- I was seeing things. I was imagining that Argitoth was playing Man.

Re: Turn 18
Turn 19 is up. I guess Callista doesn't read the forums any more...
|
Turn 20
The dreaded and feared Turn 20 has arrived.
|
Re: Turn 20
I will force host on Callista due to his absence.
|
Turn 21
Turn 21. I think Man staled.
|
Re: Turn 21
Reverend Zombie has not posted on this thread for a week, I will force host due to his absence.
|
Re: Turn 21
Err, but isn't it that Reverend Zombie is at work right now and will take his turn within an hour or two? Just a guess.
|
Re: Turn 21
I mean, he took his turn within the Last 24 hours, and according to his account status here, he lives on the east coast, and I saw him logged into this site several times today. (Presumably surfing from work, where he can't play his turns but can read the Boards. ;-))

Re: Turn 21
WTF??? I haven't missed a turn yet and I've stil got a few hours before the scheduled host, right???
(I'm at work and unable to take my turn now.) I did not realize posting regularly on the thread was a requirement to not get force-hosted. |
Re: Turn 21
Sooo, Reverend Zombie... How about those Dwarves, eh? Pretty hardy little buggers, aren't they?
I love hiring Hoburg Crossbowmen. They'll sign up for a mere 7 gold each! |

There's still 3 to 4 hours for you to take your turn as it is. |
Re: Turn 21
Force Host. Hmmm. Doesn't that kind of sound like rape? You better not ever try force hosting me Argitoth.
|
Re: Turn 21
So, the quickhost goes off whenever everyone has made their move, and then if, 24 hours later, there is someone who hasn't moved, then Argitoth manually forces it to host?
So when it says "X hours until next hosting", what is that number? The time left until the 24-hour cutoff? If that's what |
Re: Turn 21
My baby kicked the mouse and managed to hit the "Continue" button and post that incomplete post there. Way to go, Elliot! You'll be a great hacker in about 12 more years.
Anyway, if the "X more hours" thing is telling when the 24 hours elapses, then why does Argitoth have to manually host it? Doesn't it host automatically when the time elapses? |
Re: Turn 21
OMG, leave the hosting to me. I have no idea what you're saying. Just... run your own server.
I have quickhost on. Whenever the Last person takes their turn the server quickhosts and the timer resets back to 24 hours. 24 hours later, the server will host if the Last person hasn't taken his turn. |
Re: Turn 21
Oh, okay, so the quickhost thingie automatically causes the host 24 hours after the most recent player moved, and you have a policy of sometimes manually forcing the host if more than 24 hours have passed since the Last turn was computed, if the tardy players haven't posted recently. Got it.
I am going to run my own server soon, which is part of why I want to understand this stuff. |
Re: Turn 21
I've alertly noticed that the new turn is up.
|
Re: Turn 21
Only Callistas left. I wonder if he's going to make an appearance.
|
Re: Turn 21
Callista has 3 to 4 hours to either take his turn or give a good reason why I shouldn't host.
Callista is showing carelessness in his turns. |
Re: Turn 21
Next turn is up!
|
Re: Turn 21
I cannot connect to the game. I get stuck in the "Waiting for Game Info" screen.
Edit: It works fine now when I try to connect from home. Weird. False alarm. Sorry. |

MAN IS IN DANGER OF MISSING HIS TURN!
Callista, where are you? You have 4 to 5 hours. |
Re: next turn is up!
Turn 26 is up.

Re: next turn is up!
Next turn is ready.

Re: next turn is up!

Re: next turn is up!
Ouch. You'd think the nation of Marignon would have some way to deal with undead hordes that get summoned during a battle. But I haven't figured out what it is!
|
Re: next turn is up!
Callista is going go be skipped again...
|
Re: next turn is up!
NEW TURN 28

Re: next turn is up!
NEW TURN 29
|
Re: next turn is up!
Hmm, two hours until hosting. Looks like Callista really likes to cut it close. Now, should I wait up another two hours to 1 am here or should I just go to sleep? Hmm...
|
Re: next turn is up!
Turn 30
|
Re: next turn is up!
Turn 31 is up.
|
Re: next turn is up!
I am hosting around 7pm EST regardless of what the server says or unless Callistas takes his turn.
Callistas is showing lack of responsibility and I will not allow him to participate in further games in the future nor will I join a server game which he has joined. Not only does he refuse to participate in the server thread, he also does not state the reasons he is missing turns. <font color="red">NOTE: Callistas will still be allowed for the remainder of this game</font> |

Re: next turn is up!
Uh, that looks like a screenshot of a battle involving my troops, but there are no such battles shown here.
My Messages are: * Research in Alteration is completed * The remnants of the dead prophet's power have X Nevelon was the victim of an assassination What happened? |
Re: next turn is up!
Anyway, what do you mean that it is a good thing your pretender routed. Your pretender is afraid of fire elementals? Maybe he is Susceptible To Fire or something? I suspect that you are being sarcastic.
Oh, I get it -- everyone else in that picture is routing except for some fire elementals, so you are irritated that your pretender didn't stay and finish them off. I sympathise -- I've had a big disappointment regarding routing rules in another game I'm playing right now. Anyway, I sure wish I could view the battle myself. What the hell. |
Re: next turn is up!
Hm. That screenshot shows a Lammashta, but my only mage who can summon Lammashtas died by assassination (according to my client) before the battle. Also, my client shows that there was no battle. Bah. Did you see the assassination battle? In the Version of it that I saw, my mage summoned a Lammashta which promptly slew him, then slew your assassin.
|
Re: next turn is up!
Zooko, stop assuming stuff!!!
Fisrt of all, my pretender would have died trying to kill 4 fire elementals; that is why I was very fortunate that my pretender routed. Another thing, that battle was LAST turn. I assassinated a mage this turn. EDIT: Maybe some of our other players should take screenshots with cool stuff that happened. |
Re: next turn is up!
Uh -- I don't remember that battle. Did I miss a turn?
Oh wait -- that was the one where you didn't bring your undead-summoning mages. Yes, I remember that one. I wonder why you didn't? They are all busy researching some powerful new spells, perhaps? |
Re: next turn is up!
you know, if a player stales a few turns, it is standard practice just to force him to go AI (using master pass); then you don't need to get especially mad at him, and the game can get back to it's normal pace.

Calista?
Are you going to send Calista to AI Argitoth? He(she?) does occasionally play a turn, even though he doesn't communicate. I'm fine with it either way.
