Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

I'm looking to trade items. I'd prefer trade in kind (i.e., other items) but will take gems if people are willing to negotiate a modest markup.

I've got ASDN at the moment and should have blood shortly, construction 2, could head for 4 but probably have other stuff to do. Particularly useful for anyone looking put luck or somesuch on a SC pretender.

Respond via the forum or send correspondence to:

Sounds like the prophet 'wannabee' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

KO - in order for me get the prophet Wannabee, you'll need to up the magic on the skratti just-a-tad.

I suggest:
WB{WNBAEx2,50%}{WNBAEx2,50%}{WNBAEx2,50%}{WNBAE,10 %}

That'd still be exactly 5.1 picks on average, and thus perfectly game balanced... and I'd have a... 1/8 * 1/125 * 6 chance of getting WANNABEE.

No one has a supercombatant god that they want to buy equipment for? /me is sad.

Someone is bound to buy your stuff eventually...

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
 

At shard's request (he is on holiday with intermittent net access), I've switched the hosting interval to 36 hours.

Mission Accomplished
 

Though Agartha were a fierce and agressive enemy, we were not quailed by their belligerence.

We are glad to report that we have succeeded in defending ourselves, and have all-but-completely neutralized the violent and agressive forces of Agartha, proving that, together, those who stand by principle need not be intimidated by threats of violence or force of arms.

We are a responsible people, and take the task of reconstruction in the former Agarthan territories very seriously. We will not tolerate any interferece with our peace-keeping mission in those lands.

Your friend,
The prophet of the True God,
WWNBB

Re: Mission Accomplished
 

Okay, shard is back, so I'll restore the 24 hour hosting (although the current hosting time won't be affected). I expect we'll have to start having breaks for christmas soon - let me know if you need a pause or longer hosting times.

Re: Mission Accomplished
 

The people of Ermor have more non-death gems for trade.

F/A/W*/E*/S*/N

The ones with *s we have significant quantities of. We are willing to trade any gem for death gems 1:1 Please contact us via PM.

Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

Let it be known that the True God, Knife Bright Insight, though he loves peace, does not teach his followers to tolerate iniquity.

We have identified in the illegitimate regime of the Sibyl three great crimes:
1) Pederasty. A vile practice from which the God commands us to liberate the long suffering people of Arcoscephale.
2) Incontinence. A result of the forementioned.
3) Sophistry. The false prophesies of the Sibyl are an offense to the True Wisdom which flows from the Well of Urd.

We encourage all right-thinking nations to join us in our righteous war of conquest.

Re: Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

Jomon congratulates Utgard to their attack on the Arcosphelian agressors. Just this turn armoured elephants have crossed our borders and will be slain by us later this year.

Re: Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

What is the hosting schedule going to be for the rest of the year? I will be going on vacation starting this weekend, coming back before New Year's, so I'm wondering if we need to find subs or if the game will be paused or slowed down over that time.

Re: Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

I think we should slow down over the holidays. I think the ctis have just staled the last two turns in a row.

Re: Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

Really? They should just have messaged me. I'm always happy to slow down rather than have people stale.

What a lot of games are doing is putting the game on quickhost-only until say the 2nd of Jan. This is a bit sad (no christmas turns), but probably the most sensible thing to do. Is everyone happy with that?

Re: Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

Pangea will soon no longer be alive, Ermor conquered my capital this turn and i'm down to 1 province. It would seem I seriously underestimated his early game potential. See you all in another game perhaps http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

I think we ashould do things that way. As much as I would like to continue this game during the holidays, it unbalances things with too many stales.

Re: Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

Ermor has ground the Pangean aggressors into the ground! Their capital is now being converted into a single glorious pyre to our great God! Let no man believe that unchecked aggression will allow victory.

Re: Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry
 

I'll go away for a week, so I also vote for no timer a while.

Pederasty, Incontinence, Sophistry for t3h w1n!
 

I seem to be the only one that changes message subjects when I reply http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

By controlling the discourse, I will soon control the world!

After a break for christmas which I also support.

DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

I'm fine with a break. Happy holidays!

Jazzepi

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Okay, the turn was just about to host but three people would have staled, so I'll put it on quickhost only until after New Year's. However, if Abysia, C'tis and Mictlan would like to take their turns, that would be great.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Hi, my broadband connection went down again.

Right now I'm visiting my folks for a couple of days, and I have installed dom3 here last summer, so I should be able to play again now.

I need turns to be sent to (jesus.osterman at hotmail) though.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Okay, I've just changed your address and resent your turn, so hopefully you should have received it.

I've paused the timer over Christmas though, and we're still waiting for C'tis so it won't quickhost. Maybe I'll PM him.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

I (jomon) am switching to AI

A nation of heavy armoured samuray has nothing to fight hordes of armoured elephants. Remember me, not to take an imprisoned pretender with jomon when i need his deathmagic to summon thugs (i am not really sure how i thougt a strategy depending on thungs can work when i cant summon thugs before turn 36).

it might be too early to go to AI, as i still have some meat for the grinder, but as my tactic is broken by design and my chances to win against arco <1% i decided to cut and run

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Well, I *am* sieging Arco's capital right now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

So I think your lamentations might be a *touch* premature - and if you'd like revenge, all you have to do is hold his forces for a bit longer while I conquer his homelands.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Oops, the next turn wants to host on January 13th. That's silly, so I've brought it forward to January 3rd - still a 48 hour turn. After that we'll be back on 24 hours, unless anyone wants an extension.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Well, if it's any consolation samurai < elephants < giants. :/

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

ok, then the elephants might turn around. so i will carry on for a few more turns.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

I wouldn't be so confident considering you haven't killed a thing but PD yet. I just was not particularly keen on recalling my expensive elephants to fight on much less advantageous terms. Never fear, I don't intend to roll over without a fight.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

I wouldn't have it any other way!

Knife Bright Insight is a most generous God - and his greatest gift is a GLORIOUS DEATH!

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

All is in accordance with my plan

Soon all are united

All is One!

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Can you keep the hosting on 48h one turn longer? I won't be home to play my turn on friday.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Yep, that'll be fine.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Just to let everyone know - Cerlin will be taking over LA C'tis from HJFudge, who seems to have disappeared.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

yes thanks! I have had a look at the turn and I should be submitting mine on time.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Kristoffer, are you staling? I didn't notice much movement on your part for these last turns, (though it might have made military sense to hole up in your castles) and now I see you're the only one who hasn't played his turn 20 mins before time. Do we need to postpone/slow hosting or something?

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

I think Kristoffer is staling actually.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

I liked it better when the modestly sized armies of Abysia were sieging my capital. No offense intended to the new occupation forces, but can I have them back?

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Jomon has lately had good news and bad news.

The good ones:
The invading forces of Arcoscephale have been beaten

The bad ones:
They have been beaten by the invading forces of marignon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

God damn it, Baalz, WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!?!?

My hat goes off to Baalz, and his ally, my own arrogance, for joining forces to make my conquest of his territory painful and expensive.

I'd say that it was a learning experience except that I've done this repeatedly in the past and seem incapable of learning from this particular mistake. Ah well.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

My apologies to you. The Hunger Without Thought devoured them all. He might use the remains as a fertilizer of the province once the castle is conquered though. Good enough for you?

Edit: Yikes, that's a lot of skellespam you've got in there... I knew you had it, but had hoped for a bit less. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Well, if it's any consolation your brutal attack has broken my back so it should be relatively easy from here. Gah, if only I'd had one or two more turns you'd have gotten a face full of 12+ person communion falling fires & gifts from heaven while those swarms of dragonflies held you down and soaked up the shadow blasts. So close. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I doubt being more conservative would have ended better for you...

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Could he be set to AI? I hate to ask, but he's staled four times in a row now, and is working on his fifth :0

Jazzepi

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Yeah, it's very uncharacteristic. It's actually a bit difficult for me to do - last time I set someone to AI I staled my own turn because of a CD key clash. I will borrow my brother's CD key and sort it out when I get a chance, but it doesn't make much difference anyway as he only has one province left. I suspect it was something of a miserable game for Abysia.

I'm postponing the current turn by 24 hours, as Amhazair has come down with food poisoning.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

All I can say is....

Buggerit

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

With respect to what?

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Abysia stalling...
Is there actually any way to tell?

I've also been going through too many Terry Pratchett books but thats another story.

Re: DrPraetorious is a jerk!
 

Dammit, I staled http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Well, Cancun is nice and my wireless works in el hotel.
