Re: New turn
 

=P don't forget my VQ spanked your army back to the nether region. ASide from your damn black hawks.

Re: New Noob Game
 

i thought i would just let everyone know that for the next week and a half (ish), i will probably only be able to play my turns every 24 hours. i may also get someone (a friend i know) to sub a few turns for me, if i'm unable to play. if this presents a real problem for anyone, please let me know asap.

thanks for your understanding and patience.

((note: i don't expect you to change the quickhost, i just mean that if everyone keeps playing their turns within 12 hours of host, that you will always be waiting for me, for the next week and a half))

Re: New Noob Game
 

I had no idea we were on a pseudo-blitz schedule http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

I rarely check more than once a day, anyway.

Re: New Noob Game
 

just seemed to me that it seems to host closer to ever 12 hours than ever 24 hours. and when there are 8 hours left, and one or two people left, we (myself included) usually hound that person.

Re: New Noob Game
 

ive never been good at breaking bad habits =)

Re: New Noob Game
 

ok, at least 3 people from this game are going out of town for the weekend. Cast and me, then talking to nah about subbing for me in Titans I was told he would be out of town too.

Think we could turn off the times on this game from friday night to sunday night....pleeeeease?

(i hate to interrupt both noob games like this http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif )

Re: New Noob Game
 

i concur. turning off is ideal for all people involved. all important people anyways http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

(p.s. i <3 you all!)

Re: New Noob Game
 

What the...either I'm high, or thats the exact same post for both of you.

Re: New Noob Game
 

i think you're hallucinating.

seriously, OG, lay off the drugs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New Noob Game
 

LOL, sure, no problem.

Re: New Noob Game
 

Folket I don't know why my scout attacked. I must have hit the wrong button. I had him set on retreat which shows no hostile intent. I need to know if we have a NAP or not, as people not answering makes me nervous.

*And I figured out, I was high. Carry on.

Re: New Noob Game
 

you think your scout attack is bad? in the winnowing i have a province about 3 hostile provinces away from my empire and i have no memory of attacking it...

Re: New Noob Game
 

LoL thats better than potentially starting a war with someone your trying to establish diplomatic relations with.

Which I think I just did given that he's not replying.

Re: New Noob Game
 

So, Kontraband, are you able to join the IRC channel, or are we going to talk with PMs?

Re: New Noob Game
 

Just to inform everybody: I will replace Tien Chi over the weekend as he seems to have fried his laptop. He should be back on Monday.

Re: New Noob Game
 

im fine with turning of thr timer for the weekend, sorry bout not being on the forum for a few days but uni has been hectic

Re: New Noob Game
 

alright, now that people are back in town I suggest turning qh back to 24h?

Re: New Noob Game
 

For crimes against Humanity, we declare war on the vile serpents they call Citis.

Re: New Noob Game
 

Iron, I think all the people that were out of town in this game, were also playing in the Winnowing (port 2002).

Re: New Noob Game
 

I'm having the same problem that I did with the Winnowing, with MD now. It stalls when trying to connect. Whatever you did fixed it last time Iron, can you do the same thing?

Re: New Noob Game
 

stop the game process and restart it.

Re: New Noob Game
 

Thanks Iron.

*Edit*

My bad, thought it was fixed. I was JUST connected, previous attempts to connect failed, no matter what I tried. I just tried to log in again and its back to locking up while trying to connect.

Re: New Noob Game
 

I've not been able to connect even with the "restart". Hopefully I won't stale because of this.

Re: New Noob Game
 

you need to contact ironhawk

that, and try a couple dozen times... sometimes you can get in when this happens, though more often you just uselessly attempt over and over.

Re: New Noob Game
 

I don't think he restarted it. I thought he did because I got right in when I came back a couple hours later. I tried off and on for an hour after that post, and couldn't get back in. Tried it a couple hours ago, got in. Logged off tried it again, and was back in lock out land.

Re: New Noob Game
 

And never fear, this game is still on the weekend 72 QH. Think you have over 40 hours to get back in.

Re: New Noob Game
 

Yeah dont post in this thread expecting me to notice. If something is wrong just PM me or find me in IRC.

I can easily restart your game process - what time limit would you like? back to 24hr?

Re: New Noob Game
 

Yes plz.

Re: New Noob Game
 

This game is now running on 24hr qh. PM me if you have any further connection issues or need to change the timing, etc...

Re: New Noob Game
 

Appriciated.

Re: New Noob Game
 

I received the following mail form Tom Scudder:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>Argh. Laptop has been downgraded from "fried" to "would you like me to set up
your internal hard disk as an external drive for your new computer?" It's
going to take another week or so to get the new machine - you'd better just
find permanent replacements for me (or AI me) in my games.</pre><hr />

I don't want to sub him permanently, so if you want to take over T'ien Chi, please let me know (PM).

Re: New Noob Game
 

New turn is up.

Re: New Noob Game
 

Is anyone interested in taking over Marignon? Things at the university are extremely hectic and are going to stay that way until April. It is sad to log in and see stale turns..

Note: Yes, this is a copy/paste post.

Re: New Noob Game
 

I'd be interested in Marignon. I'd wanted to get in on this game when it started, but things were a bit hectic for me right then. They've calmed down a little now.

PM me with the details. Password, any diplomacy that's happened, etc

Thanks

Re: New Noob Game
 

thejeff thanks for taking over. PM sent.

Re: New Noob Game
 

this thread has gotten awfully quiet of late. everyone hiding and clamming?...because that's what I'M doing (with mictlan......right)

Re: New Noob Game
 

I'm busy trying to figure out how to kill the monster Wyrm Kissblade created.

Re: New Noob Game
 

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not hiding. I took over a Marignon in worse shape than I had expected.

An Ulmish army was besieging the capital and had already broken through the walls. My pretender was forced to deal with the situation personally. Only an overeagerness on his part to experiment with spells instead of just crushing the armored fools personally kept him from routing the army then and there. He did drive enough of them away that the castle defenders could hold out and he was able to break the siege on the next turn. Now new troops and leaders can be recruited and the invaders driven from our lands.

I am only beginning to recruit scouts and have little knowledge of events beyond my immediate concerns. I'm not even sure who's in my neighborhood beyond Ulm and Ermor. Still, I'd be happy to discuss peace... or war, with anyone who might have an interest.

Update, since I couldn't post here yesterday afternoon:
My god has driven the Ulmish forces, including the old hag they worship, from another province. Unfortunately he was wounded in battle. Arbalests are dangerous in large numbers.

My regular military is not faring as well. Ulm still has better troops and overwhelming numbers.

It's looking like an uphill struggle...

Re: New Noob Game
 

go marignon!...i guess.

Re: New Noob Game
 

Ulm has staled the last two turns. I hope Kontraband hasn't had to quit.

It does partly make up for the turns Marignon staled before I took over. Though I haven't taken full advantage of it, choosing to use the respite to build up rather than attack ... yet.

Re: New Noob Game
 

I made a horrid mistake. Stealth is a double edged sword. I will not make such a mistake again (yes I will).

Re: New Noob Game
 

Lemme guess:

bringing an army to a big fight... hey, where are all the vans? What do you mean they're HIDING? Go find therrrgghhhaahhhgh...

heh

Re: New Noob Game
 

Bingo.

Re: New Noob Game
 

ive done that too (but worse was giving my pretender e8 n8 instead of 9's, poor ice giants without regen...)

Re: New Noob Game
 

LoL you musta been stoked that you could afford duel bless and a didn't have to take all those nasty scales.

I woulda pulled out the do over card personally =)

Blue Bird, you have fought bravely...but its time to go to sleep !

Re: New Noob Game
 

Yup - I am more or less off the board. Which seems to be true also for my other two game *sigh* ...

Well - it was fun with you guys and girls (err - does anybody know about any girl that plays Dom2?) ...

Re: New Noob Game
 

The nation of Abysia would like to purchase a set of Earth Boots. If you have said artifact in stock and would be interested please PM me and we can discuss a price.

Re: New Noob Game
 

LoL, just remember I'm not me in Schitzor, I'm Tom. So no need to try and get revenge through your spiders =)

Re: New Noob Game
 

The Great Wyrm of Tien Chi has been slain!!

Re: New Noob Game
 

BTW has Ulm been stalling?
