ok. let's do option 2.
llamabeast, if you don't mind I'll change the names so that they a- contain no spaces and b- don't conflict with current ULed map. I can't delete maps so I'll leave cleaning up the bad map to you :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

Guys, I'm really sorry to delay this game yet again, but I have to take a short trip this weekend and won't be able to do turns from now until I return home on Monday 4:00GMT.

I have submitted my pretender, but unless the first turn comes within the next half hour, I will have to ask for the first turn's hosting to be delayed until Monday 8:00GMT at the earliest.

Sorry again.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

Two more pretenders to go. Perhaps 1st turn will come withing next half hour :)

In any case I will extend the relevant turn until Monday 11:00 PM GMT.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

Stagger Lee, I think your pretender is that last missing. Once you submit it I'll start the game. This time with ENP 1.02 and map name w/o spaces.
I'm crossing fingers for a smooth start this time.

The hatred of the rats runs deep.

Cursed by the powers of chaos to exist on a loney splinter of rock with only two neighboring provinces (seriously!), they vow vengence against those that would keep them from their birthright: All that is.

For the first time since the days of One Clan, from the time before time, the Thirteen have set aside their in-fighting. The day long dreaded by those who walk in sunlight is at hand. The Plauge is coming...

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

wait, what? Only 2 neighboring provinces? Damn it, i thought i got all those...

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

No worries, the unexpected adds to the fun. :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

Thank you all for your patience in enduring that painful, early delay, now we can finally get this show on the road! :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

We have a nice intimate game. Cool.

With sword and shield, tooth talon and claw, war shall soon erupt and engulf the world.
GL to all, from brave knights, via the dreaded Nosferatu to the noble servants of the old ones, may the best race win :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

Deadnature, R U a long gone now back vet in disguise? ;)

Nice opening you got there :p

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

Guys, FYI I didn't get turn file # 8. Luckily I checked to game page on the server and saw that I should have so I hit the "request turn resend" and got the turn in an email msg whose subject is "Resending turn file: DeadhouseGatesI, Bretonnia turn 8"
.

Make sure you get your turns, otherwise request resends. The server is functioning very well most of the times but rare glitches may happen. Be aware, b/c we will have no rollbacks (unless the server broke or a game breaking bug is found etc).

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

Nope, I owe my early expansion to the great feats of the mighty Rhorkarus :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

Rhorkarus. What a funny name. Is he a scary clown?- Those work as great indie clearers :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

pretty much

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

My expansion worked much better in test games (and yes, at indies 9), this is sad.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

WL, could the op be edited to reflect the players and nations we have now? :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 10 players
 

done. thx 4 the reminder.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

*AHEM*

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Just a tiny detail. :lol
Thanks!

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Stagger Lee, you staled last turn. I'm sorry to see that. Do you need more time for doing your turns?

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Turn is in. RL can sometimes cross the double yellow while texting and hit you head on.

Thankful it happened at work and not with the family in the car, and hoping I can keep a regular schedule. If not I will post for a sub.

:)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Hopefully a 48h turnaround would be more accommodating.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Not gonna argue with longer turn times, thank you. :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Stagger, I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your post correctly, but I hope that you are doing OK.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Thanks Aethyr. You're quite right. Docs say nothing broken, just lots of pain, a few moments I never want to relive, and good enough luck scales that everybody walked away. :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Stagger Lee, I didn't understand from your first post. Were you involved in some kind of car crash?

Regardless of the reason I wish you a quick recovery and that the good luck scales would cont. to be in your favor.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Guys, please make sure to update your CBM mod with llama's fix (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...560#post779560 ) after applying the patch.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Wow. Got this ominous msg from server:
"
I received an e-mail from you, but unfortunately encountered a problem:

Your e-mail had no pretender file attached.

You need to attach your pretender file, which will have a name along the lines of "mid_machaka_0.2h" (obviously depending on the age and nation). This file should be in your Dominions directory, in "savedgames\newlords". If you can't find it, make sure you created your god by using "Game Tools" and then "Create a Pretender God" from the main Dominions menu.

Details of your e-mail:
Subject: failure notice
Sent at: 25 Jul 2011 19:10:26 -0000
Attachments: None
"

The turn seems ok though.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Did you send your turn to pretenders@llama..., instead of turns? I think I've seen something like this before. The server accepted your turn anyway, it seems.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Hmmm...perhaps the forces of chaos are displeased...:D

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

LOL :)

I just replied to the turn mail (turns@llamaserver.net):

Done in by darkness.

going AI

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

That was a brutal battle ghoul. Difficult to see how you could recover. Good luck!

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Sorry for holding up the game. Every time i looked the hosting day was different, so i wasn't sure what was up, and this was the first I've seen a reminder e-mail! I can stop dithering and submit, i've been basically done for like 4 days...

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Squirrelloid, Something strange happened. I added 24h so hosting should have happened today like IIRC two hours ago.
For some reason the server added more time inexplicably (w/o trace in admin log).
So I nudged it back and sent you a reminder. I'm happy it worked out well :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Could i get a 24h extension? Sorry, out of town, not sure i'll be back on sunday soon enough to give my turn enough attention.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Hosting postponed for DeadhouseGatesI by 24 hours. The game will now host at 18:35 GMT on Monday August 8th.
Please note that this information will not be updated on the game status page for a few minutes.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Hi, just a heads up. I'll be out of the country from Aug 18 to 22, so I probably will not be able to do my turn during that time. I'll try to complete my turn before I leave. Thanks!

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

so, i submitted my turn like 5h ago. I got an email saying it had been received. The llamaserver page is weird though. Claims to be for the next turn (turn 38) but due today, and only my turn out. As i'm sure everyone did not submit in the last 5h... not to mention <12h for the turn is crazy... wtf?

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Hey Squirrel, I think you're right. I just requested a turn resend and yes, the game has hosted. Hope it doesn't really want to host in less than an hour, though.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

****. Server has gone loco.
See the ominous:
Last updated at 12:00 GMT on Monday August 15th
Current time: 13:16 GMT

BTW, I asked for a resend and got nothing yet.

Just in case I postponed hosting by 24h and got this message:

"...for DeadhouseGatesI by 24 hours. The game will now host at 04:21 GMT on Friday August 19th."

Looks like server internal state is intact. It's just stuck, probably hosting a big (or flawed) turn.

edit: Squirrel, I have reason to assume that your turn has made it.
all: please make sure to ask for a resend if you don't get your turn.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

My resend request got in before zero hour. I'm glad to hear that admin functions are working properly. :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

None staled :)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

We burn puny dwarves. We burn their troops. We burn their mages. We burn their god. And then we eat them while their sweet marrow is still warm, and march to the cracking of their bones between our teeth.

We hunger, and we shall consume.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Ogres hungry. Want N. Can Trade.

(IRC preferred, PMs here or dom3mods ok, could trade f,a,w easily)

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

I'm not getting back to my computer until like 1h before hosting time, so if a few hours could be added to the timer that would be great.

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Wow. that was a close call. Just thought I'd check here before going to sleep :)

Anyway - "Hosting postponed for DeadhouseGatesI by 5 hours. The game will now host at 09:00 GMT on Monday August 22nd."

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Can I add another 12 hours to the timer? I'm not yet back from my trip to Singapore, will be flying back tonight. Thanks!

Re: DHG - Deadhouse Gates. Non NewB. 9 players
 

Hosting postponed for DeadhouseGatesI by 12 hours. The game will now host at 21:00 GMT on Monday August 22nd.

Have a nice flight back.
