I kinda mean everyone's sitting comfortable in their cap...

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Maybe they're all like me and got hit with bad events in capital every turn.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Heyaps Lolomo, PM.
Heh, nice one, I actually bid on those guys...

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Yes, our men are in need of female company :D

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Going out of town this weekend. I will try to get in a turn Saturday morning (NY time), but will likely need an extension on the next turn. Thanks.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

sure: "Hosting postponed for GotMI by 24 hours. The game will now host at 14:50 GMT on Sunday October 24th."

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Damn this map is confusing, I have no idea where I expanded to...

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

...or where you're going next, eh? ;)

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

How can there be 93 indie provinces left and I've run into 9 out of 15 players with no where to expand?

Well Ermor seems to be doing just fine...

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

That would probably be because you've expanded faster than everyone else. Besides I can see neutral territories around you still, you're not as out of indies as you seem to be saying.

I think there's still a bunch of empty water territories too.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

i will be away for the weekend, so could you postpone the next turn for 24h?

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

done

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Why did you extend THIS turn? He's already gotten his turn in.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Well he asked an extension for the weekend. And where I live this is already the weekend :)

Anyway, extension undone.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Was there really a need for a delay on this turn either?
I'm not sure everybody's aware that we're on a 48 hour hosting schedule as of 2 turns ago.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

ok. to keep the noise down I think we better move to a system of extension requests via PMs. So, when you need one make sure to PM me and tell me when you'll need it.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Caelum? What's up with that?

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Our mammoths seem to be drawned to your lands, I guess it's the climate :)

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

That I can understand, what I can't however is that you're crossing over half the world to get to me and I can fend you off on a single choke province and use the furs off your mammoths to keep my giants warm.
Or do you maybe expect help from that big army in the west?

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Oh, BTW, who organized the gank on me? I doubt it's you since I didn't even have a border with you until TC gave you one of his provinces, and TC, one could consider that a NAP violation, however it seems you probably have no intent on keeping it.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Well, as expected, TC has violated the NAP.
Since there is no reason to honor a NAP with a nation that doesn't honor it itself Jotunheim offers, say 1500 gold to any nation that joins us against our crusade on TC.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

The Bakemono frown upon those who do not honor their agreements. We would hear TC's answer to this charge.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Ho ho... slowly. Jotunheim *never* aknowledged the NAP with TC.
They never even answered our repeated offers and calls.

If they ever had, TC would not have attacked Jotun in the first place.

We just made a preemtive strike, as we were sure the hungry giants were ignoring our diplomats on purpose.

We did not break a NAP, we never had one - you never answered to our offers.

We would also have prefered this to be different. You dont go to war with the leading nation in the game easily if your research is just beginning to kick in.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

I think I did acknowledge it, but it makes little difference even if I didn't, which I doubt.
In any case, I am hardly the leading nation in the game, Ermor is far better situated than me, and even Pythium is stronger.

Your little war makes absolutely no sense to my in any way, you are just kicking all 3 of us from the game.
Even if you do manage to blitz me whilst I'm occupied conquering Pangaea and unable to use all my forces to fight you and Caelum back, you would only get a pathetic 10-15 provinces at best to split between the two of you, and even by taking those provinces you'd be stretched far too widely on the map, which, again, is the reason I find your attempt to blitz me just insanely ridiculous.

Another thing that boggles my mind is that while I rose up to this position trough conquest and bloody war you'd choose to attack me rather than Ermor for example who is far bigger than me without even going to war yet, and yet still unchallenged in his expansion sadly.

So you are welcome to try and continue your crusade, however I promise you even if you do win I will leave your empires shattered so that you're easily overrun by your next enemy.
If you wish to deal, I only offer this turn after that it's war till the end.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

You're starting from the wrong assumptions - my little war makes sense in the context that I believed you'd be attacking me soon.

I'll refer to Caelum and see if we can make an agreement.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Why would I attack you, we only have 1 connecting province and you're too far away, that makes no sense.
Give me your terms if you are willing to stop this, you may find me on the IRC to deal faster.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

*suddenly gets a lot more nervous*

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

*dont have ICQ* :/

But I sent you a PM.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Your incredible lack of strategy blows my mind Caelum, it won't be long before you run out of luck and I completely annihilate you.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Then it will only expand your territory and you should be glad :angel (one may think this giant idol has feet of clay and tries intimidation instead of letting the unaware opponent dive into its jaws ;))

Actually I made a bit too many friends :P so you're my only target and the only big nation I can access easily...

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Dear and Lovely Admin : I don't have enough time to play this evening and won't be able to open Dom3 before tomorrow 07:00 PM GMT+1. Could you extend next turn for 3-4 hours or so ?

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Why only naturally esteemed fellow player. Four more hours are granted for carrying out the usual dominions machinations: planning your wars, negotiating alliances and contemplating betrayals ;)

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Ho, you're so right : there are subtle politcians in our poor and tainted world. Who shall care their cunning whispers ? :p

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Hello fellow players:

Right now there seems to be a huge descrepancy between the "last updated time" and the current time, as listed on Llamaserver. While this has happened before and *usually* works itself out, there have been instances in which turns submitted close to the scheduled hosting time have failed to register and a stale has resulted. The best way to avoid this is to submit your turns as soon as possible.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

Hmm, that was a rather unfortunate event. My magic duel missed due to storm (I presume). I'll be sure to bring many more casters for the next battle Caelum.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 16 players MA game [Prepare pretenders]
 

I was very surprised Storm affected a 100 precision spell like this too... (plus my stupid mistake forgetting that my casters were not lightning immune, I was quite lucky I think...:p)

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

Ermor would like to publish a trade offer to all the nations: In return for astral gems Ermor would give the same amount of either E/W/A/F/D gems, items (of respective cost) or gold (at better than fire alchemy rate - 25g per perl).
Please PM me if you're interested.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

WL, do you like have some imps building you devilish forts under the full moon every month? Let me know your secrets, I can barely scrap enough gold to buy a round of mages..?
TC, that goes to you too? Where does that money come from?

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

:lol I'll tell you all about those fort imps when the game's over or I'm out, whichever comes first :)

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

With 72hr hosting, can we have the reminders at 12 or 24hrs? I had my turn done and thought I'd sent it in already. :)

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

"Reminders will now be sent 18 hours before hosting to any players who have not yet submitted their turns."

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

O follow Pretenders

Be informed that the proud Nation of Caelum will continue its glorious fight under my Godly command.

The evil and blood-thirsty Nation of Jotunheim, as you know, is engaged in an infamous war against us. Our fighting spirit, however, is still intact. Any Nation willing to oppose Jotuns' ambitions are welcome to do it now, while the power of the Lighning is still mostly intact, and before the blood-thirsty giants cannot be stopped anymore.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

Welcome aboard Numahr and thanks for stepping in.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

The God of Agartha is a mighty being. :)

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

The nation of Caelum is the evil one, and we will slaughter you for trying to invade us and conspiring against the Empire of Jotun.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

The empire of TienChi offers concubines in exchange for gems of any kind.

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 15/16 players left
 

OP updated.

BTW, do you think it would be a good idea to track how many VPs each player owns in OP. Not VP locations of course, just the count. or should we let each player do his own bookkeeping?
I'm thinking since we're with graphs on it would serve as the VP graph.

opinions?

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 13/16 players left
 

Agreed :up:

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 13/16 players left
 

Come and listen, people of Alexandria ! Pythium offers gems of any flavour for S gems, at the 1:1 rate. This is the time for you to get rid of those stupid perls. Just PM me with the number of S perls you can trade and the different flavour/amounts you wish.

God shave the Queen !
H. from Pythium

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 13/16 players left
 

Agree on posting numebr of VPs.
