Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

No problem.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Oh ****! I staled the turn :(

Could we change the turns to 2 days?

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

What does everyone else think? Extend the turn timer? 36 hours? 48 hours?

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I am OK, though I can handle 24h turns when I'm around. (Because Spiti of Caelum is, like, Jack Bauer.)

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

For me 24h is fine now as well. But i have no problem to change it to 36 or 48h only question is if it is for a couple of days or for ever?

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

48 hours is fine by me. We are over 20 turns now, after all.

Oh, and welcome to the micromanagement horror that is Ermor. :)

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

It would be a permanent change, adder83. So far the decision to go to 48h is a stalemate, but it is >20 turns in, so I guess we'll do it.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Hi,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be on international travel Oct 2-11. I expect to have excellent internet access and plan to continue to submit my turns as usual. However, there is always the possibility of complications, so I wanted to let you all know in advance just in case.

Best regards,
Mockingbird

Caelians! You feeble annoying wasps! The time has come to pay for you arrogance! The west is not yours no more.

*evil mad laughter*

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I have no access to the game at the moment but I can guess what happened. Making a behemoth was a very smart move on your part. Grats!

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I have to go out of the Country without much notice leaving Thursday Morning and getting back Monday afternoon.

I am not much for staling but I have asked 4 or 5 folks and havn't got a bite.

I will continue with what is left of my small, measly, too little to want to mess with empire when I get back. Sorry to hold you guys up on turns but I will not abandon you all. I just can't get out of this!!

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I took the liberty to post threads asking for a sub here and on dom3mods.

Keep in mind it´s harder to find a sub as a new player, as later on you can rely on people you subbed for to return old favors(well, given you´ve been a nice and helpful guy)

If we find no sub I suggest we pause the game.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Turn submitted, if we have an extension till Monday afternoon (late) Thank you, if we don't i can live with it also. Don't want to hold everyone up and this can't be helped.:up:

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Sub found, travel in peace.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Yes, thanks to Fantomen's post, Valerius is subbing for you until you get back, Ragnars. Let me know when you're back and I'll put you in.

Thanks again for the help, Fantomen.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I regret to inform you all that I unexpectedly will not have internet access for most of this weekend (Oct 23-24, PST). I would like to request a turn extension, please.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Sure, not a problem.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I set myself to AI this turn. I have only 3 provinces left, two of which are currently under siege. And I will be dominion killed in another turn or two anyway. My pretender is dead, as are most of my mages. I held out for as long as I could, and my ghost king stuck it in Ermor's craw several times. :)

Congratulations to Ermor on waging an extremely successful war against me. You attacked me very early on, which was clearly the right thing to do, and there was little I could do to counter you at any point. Well done.

This is, incidentally, also the last time I play in a game with late age Ermor. I wanted to see what they were like, and I sure did.

Good luck to the rest of you!

Groundworm

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Your entries in the Hall of Heroes were quite impressive, as was your bold attack on Ermor's capital!

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Hello,

i really enjoyed the war against Bogarus :).

Why the last time? You think they are overpowered? (i really don't know, is my first time with Ermor).

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Well, watching some of the fights between Ermor and Mictlan (which Mictlan came to well-prepared but still lost), I'm beginning to think that they are. Also, Ermor's strength lies in the early game, which is when you attacked me. I put up the best fight I could, but I really can't think of a way I could have stopped you that early. It leads me to think that if you start off next to Ermor, you're at a much greater disadvantage than if you started off next to any other nation. That, for me, isn't fun.

Others may disagree, of course, but that's my take on it.

Still, well-fought. And thank you for the compliment, Marmaduke. :)

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Hi there!
I finally set my nation to AI as well: i have only 2 provinces with 2 forts both of them under siege. I have no god, no mage, no commander and only one military unit (hawk) left. So i think its rather justified to go AI.

And at least i have the joy to not to be the first player who passed out :P

But serious i had a great time playing this MP game, althougt i finally was utterly deafeated i think provided some shocking moments to my opponent.

Great game, i like it!

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

You subbed into a weak position and put up a good fight. Thanks for doing that, I enjoyed playing against you.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Yes, it does sound like you did quite well with a challenging position, adder83. Thank you for subbing for us, and job well done!

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

BTW, I don't think I have any Naps with anyone....except Ermor. If I do then let me know since folks are dropping out like flies and I am a little fly myself.:eek:

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

LOL, I lost ALL my provinces in one turn without a battle....Dom Killed.

NEVER start between Mictlan and Ermor....and JUST when I was gonna kick some azzzzzz.

Good Luck Guys!!

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Oh, Rags, that's harsh! This has been a rough game for both of us!

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

LOL, I meant no disrespect to anyone.

I just meant that if you are between Eermor and Mictlan there is no way you won't be Dom killed unless you jump on someone right out of the shoot.

I had 4 priests preaching and was still getting more red candles every turn. The cruddy part was I JUST attacked and that was when the dom kicked in and the suprise on my face HAD to be hilarious. There was no one there...nada, no flags, no troops, no nothing but an X where my prophet killed a couple of mage's.

And of course a big blank area. Back to the drawing board, but I have had it with Pythium. I guess I just don't understand the nation.

OK, good job and I will be seeing some of you in RR and Sharpaxe:up:

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

My empire has crumbled... Unfathomable. ;)
Congratulations to Agartha who managed to somehow defeat my invincible Caelian armies.
If I understand well, there are four of you left: Agartha in the North, C'tis in the Northeast, Ermor in the South and Mictlan in the Southeast. (I don't believe I spoil anything to anybody.) I am proud to have managed to reach Turn 51 against you guys.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

And the Agarthan Empire will treasure the memory of a valiant opponent, who fearlessly fought to the last drop of blood.

Tonight Pothead will smoke to your honor, and dream of flying through the storms.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Did Ermor stale last turn? I didn't see any action from them.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Looks like they staled last turn and the turn before:

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

That's pretty game breaking at this point, we should sort it out before playing another turn. Either get in touch with Puntocom or find a sub.

Edit: I pm'd Puntocom asking what's up. I also pm'd Groundworm about a postponement, and suggested I take over as admin from now on since he's out of the game (if that's ok with you guys?).

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Having you take over as admin is fine by me.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Sorry for staling 2 turns guys, i was without internet. Tomorrow i'll play my turn.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Great that you're still here Puntocom. If you get in a similar situation again don't hesitate to ask for a delay instead of staling.

I'm the new admin, any requests for postponements are to be sent to me by PM.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Ermor staled again last turn.

Puntocom, should we try to find a sub for you?

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Two stales this turn. Which is to say, 50% of the players.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I'm sorry about the stale, it didn't weaken me though. I simply forgot to send my turn, but don't worry I'm still here.

I'll try and watch this hosting so Puntocom doesn't stale again.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Ermor staled again. I think we really need to find a replacement.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I'm looking hard for a replacement for Ermor, game on hold in the meanwhile. No word from Puntocom.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Fantomen, I noticed that you staled also last turn. Did you mean to hold up the game and it cycled anyway?

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

yeah, my postponement failed somehow. I found a sub btw

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Our new Ermor player is NaivePhilosopher, welcome to the game.

I'm back on full speed now and with a new sub I hope the game will pick up tempo again, sorry for the trouble.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

'lo all, looking forward to getting a look at a late MP game. I didn't realize quite the micro that LA Ermor would require, I think, but I think this should be pretty fun regardless.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Uh, Fantomen? I noticed you staled last turn. Are you still there?

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

Yeah, I've been having some real life mess. I'll get my turn in tonight.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I can't help but notice that you staled again. Do you need to put this game on pause for a while or something?

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I'm afraid that an avalanche of real life issues is forcing me to withdraw completely from Dominions for a while. I though I'd be able to catch up but it's just too much stress for me right now. You will have to find a sub for me.

I'm sorry for the trouble caused.

I'll PM the admin pass to Allium.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running
 

I'm sorry to see you go, but I completely understand that real life takes precedence. Hope things work out for you.
