just used your manually sent turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Agreed.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Okay, I'm going to be looking for a sub for this game within a week or so. I'm going to be really busy at college.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

I shall hate to see you go sum1won; you have been a worthy foe.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

The biggest thing is; I was about to get a whole lot worthier, too.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Is someone willing to take over the administration of this game for me?

It's pretty hands off, except when people are out for a weekend, and then you postpone it for 48 hours or something.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

I nominate Schaedelbaron or hako. They're very classy players who respect their opponents even in the middle of a war. Not at all like some fourteen year old little trolls I've had experience with.

I can admin this game but you must tell me how:) I haven't done it before. And being honest, I don't have much time... wife, work... so I can have some excuses if it comes to chasing me for sth http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

same as hako here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

I'd like to purchase death gems. I can pay in fire, air, water, nature, astral, or gold, although I have limited supplies of all of the above. First come, first serve- pm me for details.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Hako, I'll pm you the admin password. Have any questions, just pm me. I suggest you start by changing the message of the day.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

The nation of C'tis would like to extend the hand of peace to Tien chi. Neither of our nations have benefited from this war, which has now extended for the better portion of this game. We can continue fighting, or we can back off from one another's throats for some time.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Hail C'tis,

We are uncertain how to best interpret "for some time". Perhaps more importantly, we can see how this would be of interest to you, but we are not certain how it would be of benefit to the nation of T'en Ch'i. Please help us understand why we should give serious consideratoin to your offer.

Just so we're clear, in the meantime as we "discuss" this, we would recommend that you continue to defend yourself, as best you are able. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Because, simply put, we have the ability to defend ourselves- fairly successfully- against the armies you have, thanks to some new research especially. Your troops would be better spent expanding elsewhere.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Very well, I conceed your point--you are well defended.

I also conceed that we would mutually benefit from a "cease conflict" for a period of time. This is what I propose:

1) For the next three turns (including the turn that has not yet hosted) we do not attack each other.

2) Specifically, neither of us will invade the lands currently held by one other, we will not target overland spells at lands held by each other, and we will not send or cause to be sent any person or thing that would be considered harmful into each others provinces.

3) In the Spring we will revisit and talk again to determine how to go forward.

This is not a NAP. We're just agreeing to halt our conflict until the Spring. At that time we shall talk again. Do you agree, or do you have a counter proposal?

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Sounds reasonable- except, no scouts into either individual's territory, or massing of troops on inconvenient borders.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Snort,

It's impossible to enforce a no scout rule, or verify compliance.

And you really don't expect me to withdraw my troops or discontinue building my forces do you?

How about no massing troops where they're not already massed?

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

That works.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Done.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Spring arrives next turn. Do you wish to extend the pact another season?

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

C'tis,

This is the last month of our "cease fire." I believe it's now time to finish this...one way or another.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

So, uh, renew pact/turn into NAP, or war?

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

As I have said, you have been a worthy opponent, but now it ends--one way or another. It must be war.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

So, is anyone else ready to move to 48hr quickhost?

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

That works for me.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Excellent idea.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

I have to take a short trip. I'll be able to get my next turn (60) off just fine, but I am requesting a delay in hosting the following turn (61) until: Sunday 18:00 GMT. Thanks

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

ok, I'm changing hosting to 48h (last turn I've staled myself due to some issues related to alcohol overdose... the same giving Panagea quite a handicap http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif . Aethyr, we will wait.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Much appreciated!

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Me Satyrs loove Alcohol ! *g*

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

I have midterms this week, so would it be possible to extend hosting time until sometime saturday?

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Sadly i dont have enough time anymore for this game.
Anybody knows where to get a replacment-player?

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Hey, Marveni.

I recently received a message from you accusing me of breaking our NAP.

If you accuse me of that, you had better be damn well certain that I did.

I happen to know that you are aware that I canceled our NAP some time ago. Around turn 63, I believe.

Either you are lying through your teeth, or you don't understand how NAPs work.

Cancelling a 3 turn NAP means that if you allow your druids to get assasinated 4, 5 and even 6 turns later, you have nothing to complain about.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Whoa, big boy. Slow down there. Oddly enough, I received a a proposal from you for a joint alliance against Pangaea, despite your canceling our NAP and attacking me. I'm not accusing you of attacking despite an existing NAP. Your play has been quite honorable in terms of your giving proper notice, etc. I just am surprised you even bothered to try to ask for an alliance. So, get down off your high horse and relax. I'm not complaining, I do understand what a NAP is, and I don't lie, through my teeth or otherwise. Oh, and by the way, I'm going to crush you.:)

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Ruler of C'tis, you are indeed a snake when you are trying to inject poison even in your friends! Try to keep your dripping teeth in your mouth or you might well loose them.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Izzyz, I sent you no such message. I honestly have no idea as to what you are talking about. Either one of us is confusing games, or you are talking about the message I sent to everyone, but that doesn't mention pangea.

You could just be spreading disinformation, but I doubt that.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Huh. I got a message two-three turns ago, asking for alliance. I don't recall the exact language, but I understood it to mean against Pangaea. If it was a general message to everyone, that would explain it. And, if I misunderstood it, please accept my apologies. I'm still going to crush you, though.:)

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Multiple turn issue has been resolved; problem solved.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Hi guys, sorry for me delaying hosting by couple of hours. I'll be at home this evenink UK time and send my turn...
Hopefully before 20-21 London time my turn is done.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Live and learn...Pangaea has stalled four times in a row. Now that I know that this information can be gleaned from Llama's server, I will make it a point to check regularly. Due to this fact, the lack of any notification in this tread, and the player's lack of response to my PM's, I consider the NAP between us null and void.

So, my question: Why the silence re: the stalling, and why this not been dealt with?

BTW, The information on the Llamaserver re: turn number and time the next turn is due is incorrect.

The battle at my capital has resulted in Marveni loosing two of his elemental royalty (limne, the lady of the lake, and Oreigenes, an earth king) to a combination of paralyze and enslave mind. He also lost a sea king, and a number of sea trolls. the battle at my other fortress has caused him to lose numerous undead, vine ogres, warriors, and a few commanders.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Hey Sum, this game would not have been the same without you. I'm glad to see you giving someone else some trouble for a change http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Good luck.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

I just set Pangaea to AI. It looks like Abysia has been staling for ages as well, but he's so powerful I'm loathe to set him to AI. Guess I will post for a sub.

Also Aethyr has kindly volunteered to take over administration of the game, so I've sent him the admin password.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Gee, I guess the scouting report that listed the largest portion of your army as Sauromancers was correct after all. On to plans B,C,and D. I'll get you yet, and your little dog, too! Give me back my Royals!

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Hi Izzy, Sum,

Next week is Thanksgiving week and I'll be taking a little vacation; I'll need to delay hosting from Monday through Saturday. This will also provide some time to see if we can get a sub for Abysia.

If either of you have extension needs beyond this time frame please let me know. Thanks

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

DryaUnda has kindly volunteered to take over as Abysia, and I have switched the e-mail address to his.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Welcome DryaUnda! I hope you enjoy the game.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full
 

Hello everyone,

We'll process this turn (turn 83) as per normal, and then the next hosting (turn 84) will be delayed until Sunday 23:50 GMT.
