Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I would also like to emphasize the need for a delay until we have found a sub :)

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

HELLOOOO! ANYBODY OUT HERE!?!?! (echo)

Hello to everyone. I'm the new Atlantis, or maybe not we'll see, and I'm still waiting for that turn. 3 stales in a row may not be fatal but 4 possibly could.

I see a lot of people are staleing here so if you don't change the address for Atlantis by the time the turn hosts I'll assume you aren't all that interested in continuing this game, esspecilly since nobody seems to be sending turn for some reason.
If you all lost interest, and it seems that way, you should probably quit, or declare someone the winner or get a judge to do it IMO.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I didn't realize that Atlantis was staling, but I have no interest in stopping, really.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

It seems you are the only one.
With such lack of interest for this game I think there is no point in me taking a sub position here, or even continuing the game at all for that matter.
I suggest (if anyone at all reads this thread) that you concide to one player or if you can't do that, than bring in a judge to access each position and declare one nation the winner.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Well, what's up now? It seems Atlantis was willing to play, Jazzepi had submitted (my turn was only a skeleton turn since I noticed no delay was scheduled), the game host hasn't submitted himself and wasn't/isn't reacting to this thread or PMs..... ??

I'd love to play, but I hate it when ppl drop even though they have more than just a few remaining provinces....!

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I usually come to forums to pretty much only check my PM's, and I was away hiking for the whole weekend,

EDIT: Didn't seem to even get the turn in, though I made it.

Last time I checked, beardaxes forum post was not even on the first page. If someone has to get a message to me, I'd suggest the PM feature, it's there for a reason. (Baalz did PM me when I was away, but that doesn't help now). A bad timing for my trip probably, but still. I'll PM Executor if he still wants to take over Atlantis.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Well, guys, will we continue this one? Obviously we'd want Atlantis onboard as well - I'd be in for the end game. Who else?

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I'm in for the bitter end. Hosting has been postponed for now for players to decide about the game's future, should we look for a sub/AI atlantis or end the game. Do voice your opinions.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Executor will not be able to sub for Atlantis anymore, no-one has voiced their opinions, and I was asked for a extension, so I'll be postponing the game even more. It'll host now on sunday midday european time.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I'm happy to play. There are still several powerful nations left. I don't see why we can't find a sub for Atlantis, he's doing great, and I'm sure he has several artifacts.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I'll look for a sub for atlantis. I don't know why Executor spazzed out left.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Indeed. And thanks for looking for the sub. I'll postpone the game for few more days in search of a new sub. I know Exec's reason for backing out (we exchanged a few PM's) and I don't blame him for getting out of his sub position.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

So, only 2 nations submitted turns last host, I'm not really keen to put much time into doing my turn. I vote we end this game.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Ehm, I can understand if ppl are pissed, but the last mass-stale most probably was just due to an expected delay (which wasn't given).

I mean, you staled yourself, Baalz ;)

Still - I would really hate it if this game dies this kind of death.... :/

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I admit being a tad frustrated if only that I agree with Toran on why there was a mass stale.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Well, the last host was 5th of July, which was over a week ago when I was hiking. Still, if people want, I can revert the game back to turn 62. Or we could end the game since I haven't had any offers for sub position for Atlantis, and the situation doesn't seem to advance. Or we could set him AI.

At the moment, looking at the score graphs, Marignon seems to be on the top of most of them, but at this point of game people might have a few tricks up their sleeves to use against bigger invaders...

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Well, while I realy won't be able to play this one alone if noone else wants to play any longer :p, I'd love to get to a real end. I mean, sure, Marignon is leading the graphs, but we all know that one or two major battles might turn the tide of a game in this stage.

Plus it's my first real end game which I'd hate to see staling out ;)

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

'kk, last call. I'd love to get decided what will happen to this game - pls, just vote everybod if you'd love to go on or end it (prematurely....*sniff*). If it goes on, please postpone the next host a bit, I'm going to leave for a day.

No point in keeping this game in coma for such a long time - and I still have an open bill for a certain Seraph :p

My vote - go on :)

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Toran, why doesn't everyone else just set themselves or AI, or something, and then we can DUKE IT OUT.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I'm having fun, but I'm a bit reluctant to pour much time into doing a turn unless there's still many people interested. So...I vote continue contingent on critical mass.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I'm leaving for a few days tomorrow, and I'll be back on thursday or something like that. I'd like to have at least majority of the games players to tell what they want, end the game or go on with a sub/ai Atlantis.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

If the others don't want to play, I'd happily agree. I bet I would lose (just no late game experience, as you noticed), but there's no way for learning other than die trying ;)

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Dee-dum, okay, what's the current state?

Toran: go on
Jazzepi: go on
Baalz: depending on mass
Quitti:

Atlantis + Mictlan would be going AI then (a shame)?

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I can continue, though I don't see my nation winning the game, and in dominions there are no second places...

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Well, let's get a conclusion then - shall it go on? Will our both absentees be AIed? Will I get a 1day extension, since I won't manage to make a full turn until tomorrow?

Toran.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I'm happy to continue whatever happens. As a last resort, just set everyone else AI and let me and Toran fight it out.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Well, for that last resort (I don't want it to happen :p) I'd rather prefer other nations as no-go-areas and let them infinitely stale. Otherwise we'd get quite some in-balance with all the AIs around.

You still owe me 100 pearls for my Wish-a-Seraph-O-Matic!

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Postponed for 24h, meaning saturday is the hosting time. Let's get the game going. I'll get someone to AI the staling nations.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Hm, noone has sent an AI turn for the staling nations yet (boring?), and there's only two .trn files in yet... of course the remaining two guys will submit in the next 10 minutes? :)

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Toran, do you want to just concede that the nations outside of our own will be off limits, and let them stale?

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Well, of course I'm severely handicapped, having less than you of everything and can't make use of my diplomatic achievements.... but rather than letting this game rot, I'd prefer to go down fighting ;)

Two problems -

a) I'm still fighting what's left of Machaka (another thing handicapping me), and can't really focus on an outer enemy when having a rampaging AI around. Could we agree on a cease-fire for, say, three turns on the mainland where I'm still getting rid of Machaka? I mean the area west of where a few footmen of yours died this turn.

b) We'd need the admin password and another delay. I had hoped that the other players would show up and explain why they didn't submit, but... well, won't happen. I'll ask Quitti for the admin rights.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I overslept my turn (damn fridays :D). I'll be willing to give admin rights to Toran since he's more active here than me.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Heya, guys - I've postponed the game now for one more day. We just need to decide how to go on, definitely. Quitti has submitted a turn, but I haven't heard anything from Baalz even though he wrote he'd go on in this game...

Also, what about the two AI candidates? What happened about those? They should be set only AI if it's not going to be the "Toran dies at Jazzepi's feet"-showdown game type...

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Mictlan has staled the past 4 turns, he's out.
Atlantis has been staling the past 5 turns, he's out.

That only leaves C'Tis and Abysia for consideration.

Baalz (Abysia) hasn't said anything here since the whole thing began. I would simply PM him and ask him.

Quitti (Quitti) seems interested in playing.


So let's get Mictlan and Atlantis set to AI. Send Baalz a PM, and then set Abysia to AI if he doesn't want to play anymore.

Also, we might do well with a longer hosting schedule. Toran, can you postpone the game another 24 while we figure this all out?

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Game is postponed, no problem. I knew it would take some time to clear this, I'm just no friend of postponing for one week and then "just" put it back to two days, while maybe someone is away, counting on that week.

It'd be a pity if we had to set half the players to AI, making a really large game. Anyway, I'll PM Baalz.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Ah, sorry, this dropped off my radar with all that snafu, I'm game to keep going, I should be able to submit a turn later today.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Okay, so that only leaves us with Mictlan and Atlantis set to AI and the rest of the players still in position.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Okay. I've never done that game admin thingy before - in order to set a nation to AI I need a player not in the game that submits the turns with orders to set to AI, correct? Should I just ask in the MP forum, or is there anyone I could approach directly?

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Just to bump - what's the exact procedure needed for me to switch those nations to AI?

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

You are correct, you need somebody not in the game to do it, get a volunteer and switch the nations email address to theirs. They'll submit a turn going AI.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Can I get like a 3-4 hour extension? Doing some programming with my lab group.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Kk, I did the postponing and postponed a bit longer to get the AI setting done, which you probably notice from absurd Mictlan/Atlantis attacks.. *sigh* :)

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Dang - I'll be back later than planned, so I request a 12 hours hosting delay from myself.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I need a 48 hour extension. I've got a group project due on Monday, and I'm strapped for time.

Written 1000+ lines of code in the past five days.

Jazzepi

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Okay, postponed. I'll have my turn ready Monday latest, so if you decide to submit earlier, auto host will do the job then.

Toran.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Deedum, postponed for 12 hours due to Jazzepi's request.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

I extended it for 12 hours, even though I hopefully/probably will manage to finish my turn earlier.

Re: Beardaxe is go!
 

Heading for a chapter of my thesis to get finished in time, I humbly ask for a 14hr delay that will allow me to do my turn tomorrow... (and I'll need someone else to post in this thread, so it doesn't become a pure monologue..).

Toran.

I like jelly (or jello depending on which side of the Atlantic you are on)
