Welcome to the game zenphos

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Welcome from this end as well. We hope you enjoy the reception committee we've arranged for you. They are dedicated to ensuring that your stay in this game is a pleasant one.

They brought party favors.

Marignon Witch hunters!!!!
Ulm gives you an Ultimatum , either deliver to us the severed head of all your Witch hunters and your false God or we will take them by force.
What say you Oathbreakers?

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

The above post was supposed to go out this turn but did not for some reason

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

The people of pangaea, united in celebration, would would like to express their most respectful thanks for the action that just removed the eastern influence of Arcosephale in our territory.

Abyssian, we thank you.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

The turn has been delayed 48 hours because of illness (mine). I'm going back to bed and will try very hard not to die.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

BTW, if anyone ever needs an extension for whatever reason, email me privately. You're far more likely to get a timely response that way than by posting here. The little email button should work. If it does not, my private email is CalvertdeGrey -at- msn -dot- com

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Should have known better than to try that golem on an astral nation. 3rd Magic duel took it down http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Yes, after he single-handedly crushed my troops the last time we met, I prepared a little golem welcoming party http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Well, I'm pretty much done. For some reason the server didn't accept my last turn when I emailed it in. (It accepted it and ran the turn but it was not anything I intended) My forces did nothing I ordered and I got walked all over.

That's what I get for buying a new computer. Frelling Vista.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Could I please get the game suspended from 14:00GMT Wednesday 23 April until 14:00GMT Saturday 26 April as I am going away.

I have also emailed Lord Calvert

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Extended upon request.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Not wednesday yet.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Yeah Wookie1977 has had his turn, we are just waiting on you to have yours Lord Calvert! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
So no need to extend just yet ... Wookie1977 may even get another turn in before he leaves on Wednesday.

And besides, extending a turn by 5 days is a little unreasonable - a temp sub should be found if this were the case, surely?

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

I only need 72 hours not 5 days. and if Lord Calvert has his go I can have another before I go away

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Hmmmmm,

So really it is only a 24 hour extension, if my maths are right? As we are on a 48 hour cycle at the moment.
Maybe someone should email calvert and tell him the dates are out.
As it would seem to me that the next hosting falls in the middle of when wookie is away.
As opposed to just before he leaves, and then just after he comes back.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Argggg....

Don't do extensions when 1200 units are just one province apart from each other !!!!

Well, if you really have to, do so. Not too often ok ?

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Hope you brought the big guns kasnavada. It's going to be one hell of a party. Enjoy the fireworks!

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Well, I sent what I could. That's a decisive fight, and I don't think that either of us can recover easily from a loss here.

Time should tell.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Friends:

I had an unexpected death in the family early this morning. I respectfully request replacement. The game is on hold for long enough for Llama to find one.

I am very sorry I have to do this. It wasn't exactly my idea either.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

My condolences, that is terrible news http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

So who is going to get in touch with Llamabeast and also try to organise a sub? As it seems someone has to take over as moderator and try to get the game going again.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

I pmed Llamabeast but hes not back until the 27th.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

LordCalvert, that is very sad news. Best wishes to you and your family.


Re the game: The best thing is for one of the other players to take over as admin, and for us to post an advert for someone to sub in for LordCalvert. I'll take a look at his position now so I can make an appropriate advert, or set him to AI if it wouldn't be fun to sub.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Calvert is I think still the strongest player. Although Ulm is giving him a bit of a beating.
And I can proudly say C'tis has given him a small, but significant, bloody nose.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

I don't mind either AI or sub
It would be good to get this game going again soon though.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Griefor, a new player, will be taking over Marignon. He should have received the current turn just now.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Welcome !

PS to Arcos :
Hum, you actually hid in the castle !

Damn you, I hate fighting castles... maybe I should just let you starve to death there...

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Hi guys.

This is hard, I really have no clue what to do against those nasty golems. One is even named "THE BANE OF MARIGNON".

Besides that, I really have no clue what Marignon's plans were, if they had any.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

kasnavada, my troops are far from starving. They are all drunk on endless bags of wine http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif. Your troops aren't looking so healthy, according to the battle report. I was hoping my walls would hold out a bit londer, but I shouldn't have expected so much from a Pan built castle http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif.

Griefor, welcome to the game. Magic duel works well if its the astral golems.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Well, you did manage to take the castle in the first place... It's no wonder the walls are weak now that you demolished them and rebuilt them ! More seriously, there is no castle anywhere that could have withstood the demolition team that I put to work here.

And, I do remember, that you did try to destroy those walls for a long while and retreated before being able to do so a while ago...

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Hi Griefor,
I am a recent sub as well. Although I got severely broken and almost destroyed C'tis where as you got still powerful with lots of men and provinces and income Marignon.
First point I guess is I don't think Marignon was well liked in his earlir incarnation, talk of NAP breaking and double dealing and all that.
Secondly I don't think Marignon had any actual plans. Flaming arrows and lots of crossbows seemed to be about it, and if that didn't work then he was screwed.
There is a discussion a bit earlier where profanicus killed SiyfkA's golem with magic duel. But my advice would be to get stuck into Ulm and leave C'tis alone. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

I'm not so sure about that, Marignon is in a tight spot I think. Time will tell I guess. But at least he has a fair bit of land.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Hum I'm in a tight spot now, following that defeat.

Why the hell did you get out with your diseased troops ?

Well, that was well done. Bad scripting on my part but good for yours. And nearly 40 commanders, and lot of mages... that hurts.

I also need to know why my centaurs happily attacked in melee your pretender instead of pelting your troops with arrows... even if his flight was most excellent since he arrived just near my mages !

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

hmm guess your not out yet. My god decided to go off on his own. Im sure he would have turned the tide in that last battle.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Probably...

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

I am requesting the game be delayed from
14:00 GMT Friday 9 May , Until 14:00 GMT Monday 12 May as I am going away and will not have access to a computer

Thanks

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

who is admin now?

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

No idea. (friendly bump) I'd like to know too in case of a problem.

Why did your pretender fly away ?

I had a nice welcoming party ready for him...

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Sadly he is needed elsewhere. It's hard work fighting 2 nations at once you know. Keeps you busy.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Hmm, maybe there is no admin. It would be awesome if someone would volunteer (I won't be watching this thread closely). If you are of a mind to volunteer, please send me a PM, since I probably won't see anything written here.

I will do Wookie's postponement now.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Postponed by 60 hours.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Yeah I guess it's difficult to defend against 2 nations at once. That's the reason why we did attack with 2 nations in the first place.

But you're defending rather well, if you ask me... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I haven't moved much toward your important provinces yet.

PS :
I'll be admin if no one wants the job. There isn't many people left so someone has to do it. Since I check the forum at least twice a day I'll do fine I guess. If no one says he wants to do this in my place in a few days I'll send a PM to llama.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Go for it Kasnavada. Somehow I can't see too many being all that keen to jump on.
Just take the job and if anyone complains use your new admin powers to sub them out or switch them to AI. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

*plots to make SiyfkA AI by mistake*

Well. Hum. I'll still wait for people to see the thread first, just in case.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Thats all cool Kasnavada for moderator

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Cheers kas. I've made a fair few mistakes tho, resulting in about 40+ mage deaths http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I think i should have concentrated on killing one at a time instead of splitting my forces. Abysia are right into my core provines now, wreaking havoc and capturing my castles.

Meanwhile Ulm seems to be doing pretty well against Marignon. The one player I haven't even scouted yet.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Well, it's a newbie game, so... everyone made mistakes.

The good thing is that you won't do those again in next game. I learned from you the importance of having astral mages against an astral nation... and much more.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

Doh I just staled a turn. Thought I had submitted it at the weekend and I was at a funeral yesterday so I missed the reminder http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.

Re: FunnelEaredBat - MA game for new players
 

I made the demand to be admin and llamabeast heard it, so MP me or write here for the next admin demands and I'll do them.
