Good decision Ground and welcome back to the land of the living Whollaborg...until someone kills you thats is.

Thanks to you both :)

Pretender seems to be uploaded. Waiting for llamaserver to host the first turn :)

I wonder a bit why llamaserver is still waiting for pretenders even if there is 13/13 pretenders already in?

The problem that i see is that Schoelle is now playing Chelms not Arcosephalae, and there should only be 12 players.

Admin has to manually start the game i think

Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) recruiting one more!
 
No the # of players has gone to 13 and 13 are in. Whollaborg is Arcoscephale.

See Groundworms memo above.

I think he has set the admin options for the game NOT to auto start, possibly because of what happened the first time.

This means he has to manually start the game.

I have sent Ground a PM saying as much.

OMG. Just got notified that I have to be away between Friday and Sunday. This means I would need a sub so early in the games. So, I don't mind if you kick me out before it starts. Sorry for the noise :-(

Out-of-character:

Everyone has been such a good sport, that I support Groundworm's decision either way.


In-character:

I am so disappointed. Your absence means dinner is now a few steps farther away. I had so looked forward to savoring your marrow cracked from your large bones, now that you've been properly fattened.

I had so looked forward to the vinyard of your blood, hot and salty. And what repast would be complete without music - the lamentations of your women and children - and the sweet smell of razed buildings and farms.

And there is, indeed, a sense of progress and fulfilment to see your dead bodies work my fields to my greater glory.

Perhaps another time, then? To my greater glory - Death my delight - Bogarus my chosen instrument...


Gozar
Prince of Death
Enemy of Children
etc. etc.

Finding a sub for a few very early turns should be easy. Everyone knows how to expand...

Ask around a bit.

Lets get this game out of the garage and on the road already. No more car-troubles please or we'll end up on cinder blocks in the front yard with weeds growing all around.

Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) recruiting one more!
 
yeah sorry guys, the miticlan player was me. For my defence this is my first attempt at playing online... which means anyways i wouldn't have made the cut. I tried searching forum for Smiting befor applying though, but have not found any threads which is why I applied.

Looking back I realized I searched in section "locked thread "list of games searching players" and didnt notice last post dated 2008.

Anyways sorry to all, wish you a nice game.

Gentlemen, Trolls, Princes of Death, etc.,

After many delays, the game is on!

schoelle- I agree with Immaculate. We should be able to find someone who can take care of your empire in the expansion phase for a couple of turns, so don't worry too much about your brief absence.

Groundworm May 2nd, 2012 02:54 PM

Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) recruiting one more!
 
Gormy- no worries, and thanks for letting us know. There are newbie games starting up pretty frequently these days, so if you keep an eye on the forum I'm sure you'll be able to get in one soon. Good luck, and welcome to Dominions! It's always great to see new people joining the community!

i'll sub for you.

I want you all to know that i hate you very much; the first start had me in the dead center of the island with 4 bridges.... the new one does not waaa!

I've been asked the reason for dwelling in blue-green mountains.
I laugh without answering, heart at ease.
In the mountains, peach blossoms on flowing waters- mysteriously vanish.
There is another reality- not of the human realm.

Heh yeah. I playtested it like 20 times at independents level 7 and found the odds to be quite good for me, so I decided to go for it.

One quick question: is diplomacy limited to in-game messaging, or are private messages on here allowed? I'm indifferent, just want to know.

Groundworm May 4th, 2012 02:36 PM

Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) recruiting one more!
 
PMs are fine... I find it's just a more efficient method of communication than in-game messaging, which has a 1 turn lag time.

If you are last posting your turn - you can finish the next turn first easily as we really do not have much to do at this point. Just to remind the player of Gath :rolleyes: With no offence. As you see I am eager to see this going forward fast :angel

Finalgenesis May 9th, 2012 05:31 AM

Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) recruiting one more!
 
Came upon a list of banned exploits and realized our game forgot the standard banned antics list. Stolen from Calahan's game:

Banned Exploits

1. Copying the script orders from Bogus and his friends to others commanders (ie. The 'Fire Commanders' orders).
2. Overloading other players labs by sending them lots of items they did not request. Be they worthless or valuable.
3. Recruiting free Wild Ettin's
4. Exploiting obvious mod bugs. If you find something which is obviously wrong or looks wrong then you have a duty to report it, and not exploit the bug until the admin makes a decision on it.
5. If you notice a player is staling, expecially if it's your current opponent, then you have duty to report it to the admin.
6. Silently beating up a known staling player is being a serious douche bag (see 8).
7. No move-blocking by probing enemy armies with lone commanders. If you want to probe an enemy army then hide a Scout in that province and use the "Attack Current Province" command, as that runs no risk of blocking enemy movement. Any player that uses move-blocking is in immediate violation of the next rule.
8. Being a general douche bag is not allowed in this game. This is probably the most important rule of the game, and if you break it then you can expect to be kicked out.

Looks fine to me, shall we agree to abide by this?

That would be spelled 'stalling' not 'staling'.
two different words.

Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) recruiting one more!
 
No it isn't stalling, it's staling, as in the player went stale for the turn (by not making a move). But it's just dom3 lingo anyhow I guess.

Having smashed their first wave, the forces of Gath continue to rush headlong into our spears, uncaring of their defenses at home.

Neighbours of Gath, we beseech to you - this is your chance, less it become too late and you become next in line to their F4N9B4 Gibbors!!

I did but for some reason the turn took a while to process.

And what a turn it was! A great victory for the honourable samurai, though only the (neighbouring?) Gods know for how long we can maintain our tale...

Bolstered by Jomon's win over the giants and greedy:envy: of Gaths lands, the Pythium war machine has decided to give notice to Gath that our 3NAP is over. The concern of blessed late game Gibbors is also of a concern and should be to other pretenders. Once the 3NAP has expired Pythium shall invade Gath's lands.
