also, what version of Faerun are we playing? "No specials" I presume?

to be honest i would prefer adventure one

Deadnature November 14th, 2008 08:49 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
well, I could go either way. I just want to know which one we'll be using so I can run an SP game for practice.

Gregstrom November 14th, 2008 11:06 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
It's the adventure map, as posted somewhere above IIRC.

sorry - was without Inet for one week but now I sent my pretender

Gregstrom November 15th, 2008 03:53 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Excellent.

We're only two short of where we should be, by my calculations.

Gregstrom November 15th, 2008 04:26 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Those two are Saarud, and Radioheart who has kindly agreed to replace Starshine_Monarch as Atlantis. A big welcome to Radioheart!

Radioheart November 15th, 2008 04:30 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Hurrah!

Pretender is GO!

rabelais November 16th, 2008 02:27 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
what is the status here? do we know whether the missing player is still committed?

Gregstrom November 16th, 2008 03:03 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
No response as yet. I guess if we get a volunteer, they'll probably get the spot instead.

Otherwise, I can always force the game to start with one player less than expected.

Kojusoki November 16th, 2008 05:41 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
I suggest we start

Nikelaos November 16th, 2008 05:57 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
i would say wait till tommorrow if we are still in the same predicament then start.

Deadnature November 17th, 2008 08:01 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
I say we start already, the difference between 21 and 22 players is negligible.

Gregstrom November 17th, 2008 08:12 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Well, except for Saarud of course. The difference to him would be noticeable.

As he's had ample chance to notice the game was starting, I guess I'll have to work on the assumption that he's forgotten the game (and then missed a pm from me) or dropped out without mentioning it. I'll give him maybe 5 hours, just in case.

konming November 17th, 2008 12:12 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Sorry guys, real life crunch came and I have to withdraw from all games I am in. Since this game has not started yet, please either delete mictlan pretender file or find replacement. Sorry about the trouble I caused.

rabelais November 17th, 2008 03:28 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
received two turn 1's from llamaserver, does it matter which one I play?

Nikelaos November 17th, 2008 03:37 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
2?

weird i only got 1?

Shikome November 17th, 2008 03:47 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Heh and I didn't get any turn at all (till I asked it to resend, all's fine now, just sent it in)

was one of the turns you received Eriu's by any chance? :p

Gregstrom November 17th, 2008 03:52 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
konming: We'll either find a sub or get you AI'd - I should be able to sort at least one of those out.

rabelais: use the most recent, I guess.

Nikelaos November 17th, 2008 04:09 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
oh btw anyone interested in a trade relationship or anything with oceania, we promise lots of gems, especially since we can't use em all.

Janlm November 18th, 2008 06:03 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Rlyeh will be happy to take all the gems you don't want...

nozshand November 18th, 2008 06:48 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)

to put it bluntly, how about no, we aim on killing you off sooner rather than later and have already made arrangements with atlantis (our illegitamate half brothers of the sea) to destroy you.

prepare people to see the oceans turn yellow with the vile urine like blood of the illithids.

And in proper racist fasion

GET OUT OF OUR SEAS YOU FAT, SMELLY PEOPLE COULORED LIKE A SALMON'S REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS!!!!!

hmm yes... It will be a pleasure to add your people to our collection of enslaved races...

Janlm November 19th, 2008 04:10 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
and nozshand, we have already started, so there won't be any sending in of pretender files.

Meglobob November 19th, 2008 07:06 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
It would be a good idea to put Ma Mictlan AI.

Better a inept AI flailing around than the nation doing nothing.

Did the caelum player blindly attack 2 provinces?!? Brave and well done!

Mean while in the land of the lizards, everyone was sat on there eggs thinking someone else had given troop recruitment orders, hence scrambled orders...doh!

Oh well, enjoy the head start guys...

I'm going to be fielding Mictlan from now on. It's a pleasure to be taking over one of Dominions 3's top blood nations during their brief period of non-sacrificial niceness.

Eriu commander 1: Hey looks like there's only woodsmen and dark vines over there lets squish em!

Eriu commander 2: Err what exactly is a 'dark vine' that sounds dangerous....

Eriu commander 1: Pfft! its just a plant, you're not afraid of a plants are you?

<10 rounds later>

Eriu commander 1: AAAAARRGH!!

weird according llamaserver it is taking in files for turn 4 but i haven't been emailed my turn?

llamabeast November 21st, 2008 05:10 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
You should request a turn resend then.

Gregstrom November 25th, 2008 05:22 AM

I've extended the hosting interval as a support for rabelais in his current situation. We're still on quickhost though.

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Well, it's not been a happy time for Mictlan. First two turns staled before I took over, so much catch-up. Anyway, After the delayed start, my plucky iron-ignorant savages had conquered a decent chunk of territory and had two fortresses mid-build.

This turn, two random events. 50+ Barbarians pillaged the province one fortress was being built on, and defeated the PD by the narrowest of margins. In the second province I was mid-build, I got a random attack of knights who utterly trounced the PD.

So, 2000 invested gold destroyed and my development set back about another 4-5 turns on top of the 2 already lost.

This is why I really hate Misfortune scales. Curse you, Fate!

slayers_ai December 4th, 2008 11:54 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
that's why if i am using Misfortune scales, i always put at least 25 pd on the province that a fortress was being built on:D

Heh. That's one I've learnt as well now - I've barely ever used misfortune before :D

Admittedly, even 25PD would probably have only stopped the knights because the H3 that was there at the time might have been able to smite enough of them down - I think they suffered no damage at all except from him.

Machaka has staled 14 turns out of 19 (Including his last six). Might speed things up to set him to AI?

Gregstrom December 19th, 2008 10:51 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Yes, it would. I'll need to find a volunteer.

Meglobob December 19th, 2008 12:50 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
No need, Machaka died last turn, someone got a easy kill!

judging from the gem and castle differential, it *MIGHT* have been ashdod.

Sorry, 'fraid not. I'm nowhere near them... I think.

Gregstrom December 19th, 2008 05:56 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Also: I've slapped a delay on the next turn to give Nikelaos a chance to sort out his computer situation.

Ossa January 1st, 2009 07:29 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Can I get a delay until 4th of Jan? I'm on vacation;)

Gregstrom January 2nd, 2009 07:48 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Sure thing. Postponement going in... now.

Agema January 5th, 2009 06:30 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
I'm moving house in a week or so. I will almost certainly not have home internet access for a while, hopefully just a week or so, but if the telecoms company cocks up like last time it may be up to a month.

I'll have to get the turns at work, transfer them by flash drive, and transfer them back to work to email. I'll need 48h turnaround at least until the home internet is up, with extensions possible and near-certain at the weekend.

Apologies in advance, I'll do my best to cause minimum disruption.

Janlm January 5th, 2009 10:35 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
hey everyone

I think we have lost oceania, he has stalled 6 times in a row now. Perhaps its possible to set him to ai?

Ermor has stalled two times in a row as well, btw.

Gregstrom January 5th, 2009 05:10 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
I'd need a volunteer to set Oceania to AI. Or just a sub - he's in a pretty safe position currently, and will have an awful lod of gold and gems piled up. I'll set turns to 48h, and advertise.

Deadnature January 8th, 2009 01:59 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Bandar Log is interested in trading air, water and especially earth gems in exchange for nature gems.

Also, I'll pay handsomely for any earth-boosters.

Agema January 15th, 2009 10:53 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Can I request a 24h delay to Saturday, please?

Gregstrom January 15th, 2009 01:03 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
Sure thing.

Deadnature January 15th, 2009 03:17 PM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
While we wait we should really consider setting Oceania and Ermor to AI, they've both staled for the past five turns or more.

Deadnature January 22nd, 2009 10:42 AM

Re: Doedicurus - Introductory CBM (PBEM, Llamaserver) - Upload Pretenders :)
 
bump, Bandar Log now is seeking Astral gems as well as nature gems---will trade earth gems for either.

Also, can we please set Ermor and Oceania to AI? Both for balance and to speed the game up...

thanks
