Uh, gregstrom, for future reference, a 3 turn NAP means you can't attack for three turns afterwards- and usually three turns after the message is received, if you are using in game messages. I had one turn in between your message and your attack, but I'll chalk it up to a misunderstanding.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Oh, that's how you count it. D'oh. I'll hold place for a couple of turns.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Well, that's what newbie games are for...

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Niefel staled last turn.

I've tried contacting freakboy, but since he had a week to do the turn I'm going to address the possibility that he's dropped off the face of the map.

His position is still more than tenable as far as I can see (not that I have any scouts in his area, but the graphs look ok), so I'm going to ask now if there are any volunteers out there to sub for Niefelheim.

It's still pretty early in the game, so there's lots of time for a volunteer to take the initiative.

The game rules are on the original post.

Anyone interested should post here or pm me.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

I'm going to sub for Niefelheim for a little bit. He's doomed, but it looks like fun. When it gets hopeless I'll set it to AI.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Excellent!

Many thanks llamabeast http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

As sum1lost has announced he has no net access to play dom3 in another thread (and has no territory or armies worth the mentioning any more), I will ask llamabeast if he can be AI'd - if not, I will just advance timing on the turn generation.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Welcome Llama! Um, so what are you planning to do with that large army on my border, eh? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Hey actually, am I meant to be abiding by any NAPs? I was planning on going rampant.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Agartha and Niefelheim have a 1-turn NAP, concluded after a brief and mutually painful early conflict.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

A 1-turn NAP?! Okay, thanks for that.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Okay then Agartha, I declare war. Because of the NAP, I won't attack this turn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Welcome in! The vast Agarthan catering staff just behind the border is happy to host incoming parties, and is looking forward to preparing militia kebab, flambeed Jotun and diced Niefel chunks.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Mainly militia kebab, I think. My primary motivation in going to war with you is to get rid of some of my ridiculous horde of income-draining lamers.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Totally understandable. You'll probably have a few turns after your militia are dead to get some income before you run out of lands to supply gold http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Can we reconsider speeding the turns up?

If we move it to 4-5 days, they'll still feel like they take almost forever when someone inevitably stales or doesn't bother for a few days, but will at least be around 50% quicker.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

I'm happy do do this - I'd like to take a quick straw poll of the other players before kicking up the tempo, though.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

I'm OK with speeding the turns up, but would not want to see anything less than 72 hours. Thanks

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

I was thinking a 4 day turnaround (96 hours)

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Even better.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Fine by me

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

That's 4 out of 8 players in agreement - one more would make it a clear majority and barring a really commited 'no' I'd make the change at that point.

[edit] Okay, realistically it's 4 out of 7 pending the absorption of DryaUnda's last 3 territories.

I'll make the change, and people have until the next turn is generated to object.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Yeah, I'm negligible as well (nearly dead) - so 4 out of 6. Or 5 out of 7 if you like.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Sub replacement -

Turn 41 has arrived which I'll process. CUnknown will be taking over from me for turn 42 until the start of April. I'll get him to send along his details.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Congrats to Arco for finally annihilating Niefelheim. I think I put up a reasonable fight with my puny bit of land, but ultimately was outplayed and crushed.

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

Thanks Llama, but you are far too modest. Arco won that critical battle only by the thinnest of margins.

I'm happy that I did not have to face you from the beginning. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

I am supposed to be subbing for Argatha, but I didn't get the most recent turn.

How am I supposed to be receiving these turns?

Re: Slow Boat to T\'ien Ch\'i - Recruiting
 

PM me with your email address, as I'm the admin. I'll redirect the turn emails to you.
