Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Hosting is delayed 48 hours (or more) while I look for a sub.

I staled, and I know damn well I submitted a turn.

So if anyone knows someone to sub, please advise.

Best

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Fomoria is crumbling under the weight of Hinnom, T'ien Ch'i, and Lanka.....

I hadn't planned to go AI yet (if ever), but if you don't find a sub quickly, maybe it would be better to have a human at the helm of Niefel, than Fomoria, at this point.

Let me know. I'd prefer to have this turn process with me as Fomoria (trying to pull off something painful), but I could swap next turn.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Come on Chris, just keep playing. It's only one stale. From the graphs Nief is just down a single province this month, and like you said, Nief is still #3 or #4 in the game, right?

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Well, no one else has been interested in picking up the position - not a single bite at all.

Does anyone object to Jim picking it up?

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Fine by me, better than going AI. Oh and are you going to keep on with running the game or are you going to hand it off to someone else?

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I'll do whatever people prefer. Probably better to have people in the game, monitoring it. Want the job?

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Personally I think it is much better to give things to a person than switch AI.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I have just revised my turn to set Fomoria to AI, Chris.

So if you could manage one last decent turn for Niefelheim (hire a Niefel Jarl at least? ;)), then you can submit, host, and switch email to my address if you please.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

If no one else minds (or wants the job for themselves) I can handle watching over the game. Just PM me the admin pass.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

What's happening with this game?

Has Chris given the admin pass to Fakeymcfake yet?

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Yes I was also wondering. When are we continuing and who is the new admin?

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I haven't received anything yet, I'll PM Chris and ask him what's up right after I finish typing this.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I asked him to submit a quick turn (like just buy some commanders and check the research really fast) and submit, then set me as Niefel. He asked why I couldn't take them now, and I pointed out that I was setting Fomoria to AI this turn..... And he hasn't replied further.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Okay, so I've taken over as Admin, the next turn should have gone out, and now we should have things rolling again.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Ermor has fallen! With no army and only the city of Ermor itself remaining I've set myself to AI. Thanks for the game all, I can see I have a lot to learn. Well played Agartha, who I found pretty much unstoppable.

Good luck everyone, I'll see you in other games I hope :)

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Later Klepto, sorry about smashing up your last best hope there.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

That's one, actually two pretty large summoned armies there Agarta.

Maybe this would be a good time to consider moving to 48 hours hosting interval.

By the way did anyone notice that almost the entire HoF is dead?

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Sorry I'm actually still good with 24 h/t...

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Alright, if anyone gets to the point where they want to move along to a 48 hour turnover let me know, we'll put it to a vote. However, I'm currently enjoying the fast pace of this game, makes things more exciting but I'll bow to the whims of the mob.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I'm enjoying the fast pace too, though I won't say no if majority wants to move to 48h turns...

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Lanka is in the market for an air boosting item. Offering gold, gems (I've got everything but astral and fire), favours *wink* (no really, you want me to make you something, harass a certain neighbor, cede some land, make an offer and I'll consider it).

PM if you're interested.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Whoever forged the Aegis and black book of secrets this turn, DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Not only that, today is a sad sad day, because R'lyeh called on the Earth Kings and no-one answered.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

If possible, could hosting please be postponed by 24 hours?

I would really appreciate.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Sure, hosting will be postponed until 21:45 GMT on Sunday November 30th.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Abysia would like to announce that both Niefelheim and Lanka are fully occupied in an unprovoked assault upon us, and we call upon other nations for aid in attacking their undefended frontiers!

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Heh, "undefended" he says.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Indeed I do! Abysia can still be triumphant, it merely needs a distraction by some other power!

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

A big distraction. With shiny spinning things, and blinking lights! :happy:

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

And massive, massive tracts of... land!

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Executor hasn't sent in his turn yet so I'm going to delay hosting 10 hours, hopefully he'll get it in before then.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Can we please move to a 48-hour host now? The turns are getting longer.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Ok, time to vote.
Everyone has until the next hosting to vote and to make sure everyone knows I'll send out a message via llamaserver.

Post your preference and that's what we'll be.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I don't mind moving to 48h

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I think we should move it to 48 hour hosting now.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

48 hours is good.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I think TC just declared war on everybody.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

R'lyeh has decided that is an excellent analysis of the situation. The surprise casting of Arcane Nexus has rendered all our diplomatic agreements with Tien Chi null and void. We immediately slurp the brains of the TC ambassador in our capitol.

:brain: SLURP! :puke:

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Well, as it appears that at least half of the people want 48 hour hosting we'll switch to that after this next hosting interval.

On a completely unrelated note, TC just became the proverbial 500 lbs gorilla of our game. And unfortunately, this world only has room for one nation of apes, proverbial or otherwise.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Hinnom must be one very lucky nation :). A couple turns into my war with TC and thanks to arcane nexus, the whole world is very interested in my nations war with TC.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Yes, please do keep the pearls running in, thank you, thank you.

On a complitely unrelated note, R'lyeh attacked disregarding their nap3 with us. I knew it was coming but still I'd like to inform others who do business with R'lyeh.

We're living in interesting times :)

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

R'lyeh is pleased Tien Chi got the subtle hint about eating their ambassador's brains and spitting them out, and voiding all our agreements with them.

We would like all nations to know that if you cast any of the following global enchantments without prior consultation we consider it an immediate declaration of war on us.

There's the usual suspects:

Arcane Nexus
Astral Corruption
Burden of Time (We've got our poor slaves to think of, you know.)
Utterdark
Forge of the Ancients


Plus since we like it all nice and lonely under the waves:

Thetis' Blessing


But not too lonely:

Sea of Ice


So long as other nations refrain from casting these globals without some sort of discussion first (wherein we reserve the right to optionally waive the immediate state of war which would normally result), then they will find us eminently trustworthy.

-- R'lyeh

P.S. Tien Chi brains are not very tasty. Needs extra ganglion sauce.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

I feel I must congratulate Iwarmonger on being the most irritating person I've ever had the misfortune to take over, ever.

Christ, I feel as though I'm trying to take Stalingrad or something.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Hmm how did that one end?

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Well enough, though Iwarmonger is quite a tenacious defender. I won't say too much since it is still going on though.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Well, you are still having your stalingrad... my main fortress awaits! I've got defense down pretty good, it's my offense that needs work.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

No kidding. I think my Stalingrad reference was more apt than I ever thought it would be. At least it wasn't a total loss though.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

True, you significantly damaged my mage base, and those are losses that can't be replaced at this point. However my pretender is a tough nut to crack.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Sauromatia protests that these contests, clearly held for our entertainment, need to be delayed until our scouts are in proper position!

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Then, the humble people of Lanka would kindly suggest that you go around our territory as going through has seemed to not work well for you thus far.
