yeah.

tArget.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

May I ask for a delay this weekend (Friday 4/3 to Sunday 4/5).

I was supposed to go to Oklahoma to play Rugby last weekend but it snowed and we are traveling there this weekend.

If we could get a turn in thursday or EARLY Friday (before 9 AM Cst USA) I could complet it and we would only have to postpone one day.

Thank you...GrudgeBringer Arco

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Of course.

On Friday, hosting will be postponed until Sunday evening. Quickhost will still be on though, just in case.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Hi guys,

well with easter coming up i need to let you all know that I am taking my self and the family away for a week. (much needed mini holiday...)

I'll be leaving good Friday 10th April and returning the following Friday, the 17th. Would it be possible to get a week break in the game turns or...?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

normally it is not very hard to get a temp sub while in early game

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I've got a few games on at the moment so getting subs for them all may be a bit difficult. Could we then for that week go to 48hr turns and i'll try find a net connection for my laptop?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I'll be going away for about a week also, starting from wednesday, but I'll be grabbing my laptop with me so I'll probably be able to do all my turns in time. At least I'll try.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

News from the Deep
Watchers of the score graphs cannot fail to have noticed the astonishing speed with which Atlantis has been overrun by Oceania's blessrush. In a difficult research game, it's the obvious way to go if you can and in the hands of a skilled exponent such as skitttis, its a deadly strategy.

Atlantis is gone and R'lyeh (me) has been given his eviction notice. The security of distance - being located at the opposite pole - was an illusion and Oceania is already at the door finding me, I confess, unprepared.

So this is a heads-up, a warning to all you air-breathers that Magellan is likely to soon be a one-water-nation game with a heckuva lot of water. If you also have sacred units blessed to to the eyeballs, now is probably the time to challenge Oceania's land holdings. His focus is still in the sea but, when the sea is secured, it may be too late.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

For some reason the game sent me turn 13 and it says it's still on 12. What's up with that?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

this has happened a couple of times to me. contact llama.

One incidence of this bug will reject any turns you submit...

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Wonderful... Cleaveland want to get on this or should I just bug Llama?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

It's happened in at least 3 other games as well, the llama knows about it, and he's promised to look at it in the morning (his time).

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Okay, can we get a delay of game then so I don't wind up with a stale turn, or are all the affected games delayed already?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

It looks like it's fixed already

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Without lifting a finger, you fearless admin has the game back on track.

Thank Llama, everyone, for his continued attentive support to this and every llamaserver game. With your wallet.

This is where I'd thank YOU, if you actually donated. Cheapskate. :D

Regardless, an Oceania bless-rush, huh? No equivalently blessed Fomorians wading into the water? I suppose it's up to the birdmen to stop the fishmen...if only Hinnom would stop eating my Eagle Kings...

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

My scouting forces haven't seen any serious resistance from R'lyeh and Atlantis will be eliminated soon. I welcome anybody with amphibious troops to come fight me, I'd hate to be stuck with the upkeep from my aquatic troops.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Was an accident :angel, I like birds.

Colonel Kim's famous 13 herbs and spices?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I'll be leaving to Estonia today, I've submitted my turn but I'm not 100% sure if I can get my next one submitted in time, probably will. The worst case scenario is that my laptop blows up and I can't get any turns in for the next week, which I doubt.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I'm off early in the morning (10th) Back next friday (16th). I will endevour to get a turn or 2 in to keep things moving.

Hope you all get a few eggs each.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I don't recall what we said for this game: I also am off for easter returning monday. Can we get schedule off and quick host on?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

With as many players as we have traveling this week, how's this sound: beginning next turn, the hosting deadline will be set to next Friday (4/16) with quickhost on. On 4/16, we'll resume the normal 27hr quickhost.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Sounds Good...have a great holiday everyone!!!

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Sounds good to me :) I got my turns in in time and I have a stable connection here so I could keep on going with 24h hosting until I start travelling back to Finland (The trip takes about 19 hours for me).

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

One player has PM'ed me a request to extend the game timer until Sunday, due to unforeseen circumstances. It will of course be accommodated.

Cheers,
cleveland

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Good with me..

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

So even when people have more than one week to get their turns in they will wait to the last day, to be surprised by unfereseen circumstances:rolleyes:

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

sorry, I had forgotten all about Magellan. I'll do my turn now but probably just to set it to AI

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

LaVere are your circumstances that bad? Finding a sub might be better for the game...

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I have only fort thats about to go, so AI.

I had thought the turn had already been sent in. Which was why I deleted the folder. But the reminder proved otherwise.

*BREAK THE NEWS*

Today a glorious battle at the capital of Pangaea was fought. The screaming maniacs of Sauromatia were utterly destroyed. Now with the Sauromatian false pretender dead and all Sauromatian armies destroyed, Pangaea will begin to reconquer its lands. All free peoples can now breath in relief!

Shish kebab those androphag archers are *mean*. Oh oh oh, and that Gorgon, she was one mean #%¤#"%&#*! Happily for me tough they are all now gone :) It is a time for a happy little dance. God bless the berserking minotaurs, it is absolutely fabulous they do not understand when all hope is lost :angel I feel so skilled now :D

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I request a 12 hour postpone to the hosting on behalf of Quitti, whose internet connection doesn't work.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

The ghosts of Sauromatia shall watch as the armies of Pangaea and Abysia clash over the lands once held by the Gorgon Queen.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Well, it has not been a very lucky weekend for me. My computers gfx-card died on me first, and then my internet connection simply ceased to work (damn ISP messing up with something again).

But anyhow, I got my turn in.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

The reconquest of Pangaean lands vs Sauromatia has begun in earnest. Sadly Sauromatia refused to bend over and fade away, but did put some serious fights. Happily tough there are always a couple raging berserks (gotta love those Sauromatian arrows, as they make centaurs and minoutaurs very very angry ;) ) on the Pangaen side who refuse to rout when rest of the army has already been running away for a good while :D

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

And out of the blue Came the Stealth Armies of Vanheim to Rape, pillage, and Plunder Arco...

My Capitol is under siege and has damaged walls....this may be a short game for me as I don't think I cam stop the Cap from falling next turn.:(

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I don't know about that, you have two sizeable armies closing in on me and the walls aren't down so I can't storm your fort yet. Its far from over.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Caelum has taken a bite out of Hinnom!

Actually, it was unfortunately more of a nibble. Unless you want ol' Hinnom to fatten up on some plump Caelum turkeys, I advise an immediate attack. ;)

----------

Also, if you need an extension, PM me. I'm slammed in RL, rarely checking the forums these days (or getting turns in on time, apparently), but PMs come up immediately on my Crackberry.

Cheers,
cleveland

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Marverni is willing to trade 15-25 Astral pearls for an equal amount of Air gems. Any who wish to trade must PM me on the forums.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Amendment to above post: The gem trade has been arranged with Fomoria.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

So after 20 turns, I have to ask: how's the map? Any suggestions/feedback? How about the game overall? Criticism welcome! (except from poor KIM, who I've ruthlessly attacked! :D )

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Regarding the map: I do not find it ideal that some capitals start just one province apart from each other (like #345 and #372). Even tough the other is land and the other is water nations, it still is uncomfortable that the other one will constantly have a "hostile" province right next to their capital.

Other than that I feel the map feels just great :)

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I have just been informed by my wife (altough she claims she told me weeks ago...) that I will be traveling May 1st - 3rd. I may or may not have access to the internet during this time. Is it possible to set hosting interwall to 48 hours during that time?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I think we should honor Jarkko's request. Further, by this time we may be at a point where it makes sense to go to a 48(or is it 51?) hosting permanently (until amended of course). Anyone else agree?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Regarding the map: I like it a great deal. The combination of 6-7 adjacent provices to the cap in combination with *neighbors* that are 3 provinces way make for some interesting dynamics.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Well, I'm in the dead center, and while having lots of neighbors is great, it's the lack of any farmlands even near my start that I find a bit disturbing. There's not much income coming in from here, though being mictlan that isn't a huge issue in the long term...

Also, I'd like to move to 51h timer also sooner than later.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Timer extention has been requested and seconded. Vote to follow. I'm traveling but will delay hosting and send admin message when I get to a proper comp. C

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Against

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I'm also against, I might think otherwise in a few turns though.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

If you don't do it now....When do you expect to do it.

I will also start traveling The middle of May on weekends (I play Rugby) and have no laptop.

I don't want to be asking for extensions every weekend or having to Stale.

So I guess my vote is yes.
