you still need to claim the race eventually on mosehansen though

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Uh sorry, I uploaded the wrong pretender to this game.

I accidentally uploaded Abysia, instead of Ulm, I will stay anonymous so you can kick the Abysia.

We're just waiting on DragonFire11 and Tyrant - C'mon guys, where are ya?

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

BiteMe is indeed my Mosehansen account name. When i made it, I had no idea that it was so heavily tied in with this forum, and that I should have made the same SN for both.

Re: Newbiegame3 , Dragonfire11 and Tyrant upload plz
 

FM_Surrigon please activate your pretender you are still listed as anonymous .

Dragonfire11 and Tyrant did you lose interest ? If yes plz post that i can announce the 2 nations as open again .

Finally Tauren is your Mosehansenaccount BiteMe or is this somebody else ?

Re: Newbiegame3 , Dragonfire11 and Tyrant upload plz
 

Tyrant is up now, we're just waiting on Dragonfire11.

Re: Newbiegame3 , Dragonfire11 and Tyrant upload plz
 

17 pretenders uploaded, but 2 are anonymous (Machaka and Vanheim).

Re: Newbiegame3 , Dragonfire11 and Tyrant upload plz
 

I have reloaded, but i may have forgotten to claim my spot. I'll check and fix that if nessicary.

Re: Newbiegame3 , Dragonfire11 and Tyrant upload plz
 

Ok, all set now, sorry for the delay.

Re: Newbiegame3 , Dragonfire11 and Tyrant upload plz
 

Actually, we're just waiting on Boron, now. FM_Surrigon still needs claim his spot on mosehansen, but Boron can start the game before that occurs.

Re: Newbiegame3 , Dragonfire11 and Tyrant upload plz
 

ok good all have uploaded now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I wait a few more hours to give FM_Surrigon a Last chance to claim his spot if he doesn't i kick and offer the vanheim slot to the puplic .
And Tauren has not confirmed still that his Mosehansen-nickname is BiteMe .

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Boron!!!! Start the game already!

Tauren did indeed confirm that BiteMe is his name, and while FM_Surrigon really does need to claim his spot, he can do that anytime - I really don't think that's worth holding up the game over.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

I think he has lost interest .

09/04/04 08:51 PM : this was the Last date when FM_Surrignon posted . I sent him now a pm wait 2-3 hours if he shows not up then i kick and offer vanheim again on the board .

Or should i kick him immediately he hasn't posted since almost 4 DAYS !

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Thufir said that FM_Surrignon is not very active on the board .
So i kicked him now because i hope he notices this more likely then the board and reads then the board .

So FM_Surrignon upload your pretender and claim it this time !
We are now only waiting for you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

This is the worst of all possible worlds http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

You could have started this game 16 hrs ago. Instead of that you've kicked FM_Surrigon who, as I told you, while not an active board participant, plays his turns reliably and rarely if ever is the Last one to submit. Now, if for example, he checked this game in the Last 4 hrs, it could (admittedly, worst case), be another 20 hrs before he checks again, and notices something is wrong.

If you want to do this, do it all the way, and re-open the position. It's not the choice I would've made, but you can justify it, since you did make it clear non-anonymous positions were not permitted. It also tells players that they must pay attention (occasionaly, at least) to the thread.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

i am not happy with this too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

But i want to avoid that now the same happens again like what happened with Lex + Huzurdaddi .
It is not very likely but not that impossible too that someone else accidently uploaded his pretender to vanheim and then turned anonymous .

So rather 1 day waiting instead of getting the same "debacle" again . It was mainly my + Lex's impatience that lead to the restart .

Hopefully FM_Surrignon notices soon that he got kicked and fixes it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Hey Boron can you kick all anonymous please? I'll re-upload a pretender to make sure the right one is up there.

Noramlly I would just tough it out, but since we are waiting I might as well be sure.

I'll be going to for a couple of hours in a about 20 min so if you can do it before then I'll upload right away. If not, no biggie, I'll be back soon enough. I don't feel like working much today! LOL!

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Kicked now Huzurdaddi http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

If the first fault with lex god wouldn't have happened the game would be running already .
But since we got a lot of delay already this time i rather have 1-2 days more delay and everything works as it should instead of being so impatient again .

If FM_Surrignon doesn't show up until tomorrow i offer Vanheim though for 1 day to the puplic and if nobody shows until then oh well then we start without vanheim .
Hopefully this doesn't happen though

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Okie dokie. I'm at "work" ( inside joke ) right now. I figure I'll be done in less than an hour and drive back home. Should be uploaded in by 3 PM PST.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Alright, I'm in.

I forgot about confirming the second time around.

Was at school Last night, came home, didn't check the forums, and then woke up today and went to school.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open

You don't have to legitimate you FM_Surrignon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

I just know there is a law against posting in the forum, while a turn 2 game is waiting on you. It's in the Dominions 2 by-laws. Really.

Yes, Boron, this game (and others) are waiting on you, as you pontificate on upon the merits of banelords vs. archangels. Just thought you should know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Yeah it had to do something with the game at least http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
Cause i will perhaps use them later with my ermor they should fit the role as thugs probably even better than bane lords . At least this is my theory http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Did all my turns now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
When i checked today a few hours ago the only new turns were in my games on sheaps server http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

UHHHHHHH!!!! Just suffered a big defeat and lost most of my army!! At least the WISE ANCIENT KRAKEN KING of the OCEAN (WAKKO) did not die. I guess he will spend a few turns cracking the books while my army is rebuilt to its former IMPRESSIVE size.

I hope you're not nearby Boron. I don't need another lesson quite yet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Don’t nobody else start thinkin’ this is a good time to mess with WAKKO, or you shall meet your doom earlier that originally planned. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Well, I'm glad to see that noob of noobs (Cohen) has gotten through his learning curve so well. At turn 7, having 10 provinces, he's got more than twice the number of provinces of the number 2,3 and 4 players (each of us having 4 provinces). To think, I was worried that his 20+ previous MP games wouldn't be sufficient to keep up!

Ah well, so it goes...

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

The mercenary army of Abysya isn't so reliable as our national troops, and many of the deserted at the firsts defeats, halting my expansion and leaving me with my tresaury depleted.

Our Alchemists hopefully brought some more shining gold into our coffins, but at the expensive cost of fiery ruby pregned of magical essence.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

R .. I ... G ... H ... T.

Sadly my build included no mercinaries for this game, but I *HAD* to buy one just to keep it from Cohen.

We're are probably all dead already just from this start. Great.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Honestly if he gets the black fists I'll go nuts. I have *0* cash right now so I can't bid. But My dear god if he gets them I will go insane.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

I'd do what I could to protect you from insanity, but Atlantis cannot recruit them under water. Blub, blub, blub.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Well Cohen had to pay for the merchants so i guess he hasn't bought a mage every turn . He just was lucky getting the bids on the mercenaries but he paid surely for them with less research .
So no need to worry i think .

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Why let facts stand in your way while posting? The graphs tell the story. He is 3rd in research AND he playing abysia for god's sake. I feel ashamed.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Probably because I set my pretender with a lot of magic to supply the lack of Abysyan research, Boron is right however, I'ven't bought a mage every turn.

And according to graphs I've lost some Merc companies, so I'm not so well settled, I've only a superior income that I hope could allow me to fill the gap that soon will show up in research.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

well scoregraphs are sometimes not good .
Now his armysize after his merchants are away is very low .

But if pangenea plays maenad hordes or ermor plays especially ashen empire it soon leads armysize graph . Ermor normally has an almostrainbow pretender so his gemincome on graphs is one of the biggest too .
Then ppl let blind them just by scoregraphs and forget that bloodincome is not shown , clamincome etc. is not shown too etc. etc.

Pythium looks quite powerful on scoregraphs at the moment too . But it is way to early to tell anything from scoregraphs .

Though Cohen has probably about 4-5 provinces more than pythium he doesn't get much more money and this will drop soon more when Cohen starts to bloodhunt .

Abysia is not easy to play because all his bloodhunters are capitol only . Anathemants are not good researchers and rather expensive .
Sure sooner or later Cohen will find sages but so do the other nations . Pythiums theurg / Caelums (Arch) seraph e.g. are not capitol only and good researchers + battlemages .

Cohen has to find the balance between bloodhunt , income and research which is not so easy .


Don't trust too much on the scoregraphs . If one nation has a lot more troops than others like ermor / pangenea this doesn't mean the nation is stronger .
If a nation has twice as many provinces but bad clamhoard / sitesearch abilities then it is probably not stronger but weaker than a smaller nation with more gem income .
