Hey Homer. Let me know if you need more time. I'll be checking the forums again at around 3:00 AM Pacific if you do.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

I Should make it but a few hours extra would be nice just to be safe.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

I added 4-hours to the clock. The game will now host at 17:47 GMT on Friday September 6th.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

Sweet battles, Evil Homer. My reinforcement of Endron was questionable, but I had the resources and I wanted to make you bleed.

I had debated whether to send in an attack force first to drain your gems before the battle, but I wanted to make sure you cast Army of Gold so I could maul you with Wraithful Skies while you were vulnerable, and I figured I need every unit to prolong the battle.

I thought about using Mists of Deception to hold you at bay a bit longer and reduce your range, but I didn't want to risk too many of my kings. In retrospect, that would have been the way to go.

Either way, I'm pretty sure I can wreck your armies you're sending against me, but with your over-powering resource advantage you're going to slowly grind me to dust. Still, I'm still got a few tricks up my sleeve, so this game isn't quite over yet.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

Evil Homer extended hosting by 24-hours.

Since his turns are big and ugly, I gave him the admin password so he could add time when necessary. Matty/Ossa, I think you guys are good on the time front, but if you want this type of access then drop me a line.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

Funny I had gone to bed after a long day and had completely forgotten about the game. Just before sleep hit me I remembered and managed to add 24h about 6 minutes before the game hosted. Anyway, turn is up now - Enjoy

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

It looks like Evil Homer added 48-hours to the clock.

EH,

No issues if you add time, but can you let us know after you make the change?

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

It looks like Evil Homer added 36-hours to the clock. I take that as a good thing since it means he probably thinks he can still lose this thing.

Homer, If you want to call this thing a tie, just let me know :)

Anyone else get the feeling we're the last ones in the bar and they are about to turn off the lights for Dom 4? Or maybe I'm the last one -- not very many posts around here anymore.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

I hear ya...only 3 games on this board anymore.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

Sorry for missing last turn. Things have been busy really, and I am afraid I will once again add some more time. Don't worry however the game will go forward...

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

Guys,

There have been quite a few extensions granted this turn (5 so far), which I take as a sign that we need to extend the interval. We're now on a 124-hour clock, which pushes out the hosting date/time to 13:42 GMT on Wednesday October 2nd.

I also changed the admin password so that all extensions will go through me again. I'm doing this so that I can make sure these extensions are communicated to us all and try to maintain some forward momentum.

Moving forward, please try to give me 24-hour notification if you need an extension. I usually check the forums a couple of times a day, so I don't think this will be an issue. If you need a longer hosting interval, please let me know.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

Yeah those extensions is due to a higher then normal work load. Things have cleared up now, so looking forward it will be better - I do however require 4 more hours, working on the turn now.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

I hate to say this, but I think we should call this game for Evil Homer. He has an overwhelming advantage in every game metric (territory, gems, income, etc.) and has already conquered 3/4 of the map.

I was thinking that I had a chance against him since my main armies are still relatively intact, and I'm a stubborn SOB when it comes to these types of games, but I think all I'm doing at this point is prolonging the inevitable and wasting everyone's time in the process. I could prolong the end by many many turns and make Evil Homer pay dearly for coming after me, but it seems futile. If Dominions 4 wasn't here, I'd probably stick it out longer, but I'd rather focus on the new game then spend a few more months playing Dominions 3.

If anyone feels strongly about continuing, then I'll soldier on and continue to play as best as I can. I've added 48-hours to the clock to give everyone a chance to comment.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

I'm fine with giving it to Evil Homer. Well played!

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

I really enjoyed the game, but I am fine with ending it now. Turns are fairly long and while you have caused me to loose some significant battles the gems-slaves-money quickly recovers those looses.

Thanks for the game, and hope to see you in dominions 4 !

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

I'm going to give some time to Ossa to comment before officially declaring the game over.

I didn't elaborate in my earlier post, but I'm pretty sure you would have been able to dom kill me if our armies had stalemated on the battlefield. Your dominion was already washing over me, and I didn't have a lot of money to buy additional holy units to push back your dominion.

I was going to hit you with waves of my sneaky Morrigan's and try to blizkrieg you with a wave of my Fomorian thug-kings, but with all of your fortresses and SCs, you probably would have been able to stop me.

Overall, I feel like I fought pretty well, but you were just to big for me to take-down. If we had been comparable in size, things would have been a lot different :) But it is what it is and you fought a great game. You're ability to quickly advance in the mid-game and destroy everyone before you secured your win.

Re: Evil Clowns - Multi Era/Random [In Progress]
 

I've ended the game. Thanks for everyone who played.
