Re: Possible delay....
 

I wonder if I could ask for a volunteer to be 'game admin' for this game. It's not much of a job, but you'd have the power to postpone hostings etc, and so people would ask you for postponements if they were going away for a day or two or whatever. And later on in the game if people want to switch to 48 hours, you'd be the one to ask people what they want and make the change. It's all very easy to do through the 'Admin options' link on the game page.

I only ask because I'm aiming for 'sustainable development' on the LlamaServer. If other people can admin games for me then I'm free to spend more time working on the server and organising new games, and I could end up having loads of games on the go without it getting stressful.

Re: Possible delay....
 

Would that enable a person to request another players turn?

Re: Possible delay....
 

Nope. That would be bad! It sends the turn to the normal address for that player. So it can't really be abused. (I've tried to make the whole system abuse-proof by the way - even the game admin has no way of cheating).

Re: Possible delay....
 

I would be willing to admin. Requests for delay can be made here or you can e-mail my address to everyone with the next turn file.

Re: Possible delay....
 

yes could its a good idea, i was out yesterday and had to stale my turn.

Re: Possible delay....
 

GrayZ has decided to be benevolent, and spare Mictlan. However, the nation of eriu still roils with anger, and cannot stand the presence of Mictlan within its sacred forests.

It would be best for Mictlan to not gather large armies within the forests, and instead head to the plains in the south. Doing else wise will anger the troops of eriu beyond my control, and will surely lead to war.

Re: Possible delay....
 

Request a delay:-

I am having a minor operation on Tuesday 19th June, I will get my turn for Tuesday hosting but could we then switch to 48hr hosting for 1 turn? So the next turn is due Thursday 21st June?

Hopefully, I should be okay from then onwards.

Current turn?
 

What was the most recent turn sent for this game, and what was its deadline?

Re: Current turn?
 

Good luck Bob.

Re: Current turn?
 

Cheers, its only very minor, so should be no problem. I also get a week off work. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Current turn?
 

Reverend - look on the website (www.llamaserver.net).

Re: Current turn?
 

Hi, Meglobob. I will make the hosting change from Tues.-Thurs.

Re: Current turn?
 

You can host Tues night as normal. Its probably the wednesday night turn I will not be able to do. Thanks.

Re: Current turn?
 

well this game turns out to be really interesting, i know have a more clear picture of my neighbors and my neighbors neighbors , and I'm really curious on how all of this will turn out http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Hosting has been postponed
 

Next turn will host 20:10 Thursday.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

I'm going to be away from Thursday - Sunday. I've arranged for someone to cover the turns, is it possible to get the e-mail changed while I am away?

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

It is indeed, and done!

Edit: This is something the game admin will be able to do eventually. But I haven't added that option yet.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Ah, I'll also be away for the weekend. JK will sub me, if everything works out. Sent a mail to Valerius.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Hi, Kristoffer. I got your e-mail and forwarded it to llamabeast for him to change info.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Kristoffer - Do you want me to change the address tomorrow (after this evening's hosting) or today?

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Are we still on turn 11 or did I miss a turn?

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

We are still on 11. Meglobob asked for a delay in hosting due to an operation.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

(Psst - you can check what turn we're on on the website - www.llamaserver.net )

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Thanks for the delay. It all went wonderfully well (3 cheers for those doctors and nurses) and I am have done my latest turn.

I have no problem going back to 24hr hosting.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

I am subbing for GrayZ - just got tonight's turn in on time. If anyone wants to contact Eriu before he's back, please PM me here.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Dang it. That last delay made me think that the turn timer had gone to 48 hours.This caused me to submit my turn 5 minutes to late, and lose a very critical battle. I had a set up that probably would have won it.

llamabeast may I make a request. As well as stating the time in GMT when the next turn is do, can you also state in how many hours the next turn is do on both the main page and the emails. So as an example it will say that the next turn is due in 24 hours on 00:45 GMT on Saturday June 30th.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

I apologize, that was my fault. I forgot to submit my turn in the morning, so sent a PM to Valerius while at work to delay it by a few hours.

You do get an e-mail 3 hours before hosting if you haven't submitted. That worked pretty well to me.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Sorry about that Sir_Dr_D. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

From now on any changes in hosting will be posted here and I'll send a message to all players notifying them.

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Sir_Dr_D - request received, it's a good one, I will add that ASAP.

To all nations - the Friendly Underwater Nation (FUN!) of Atlantis would like to purchase a Thistle Mace. We will cheerfully pay as many as 16 nature gems. Please inform us by PM if you would be willing to forge it for us.

Items wanted
 

Caelum needs food, our nation is starving, we are famished, as our lands appear to be devoid of gems (so far) all we can offer is cold hard cash...

Wanted Endless Bag of Wine, will pay 100gps.

Wanted Enormous Cauldron of Broth, will pay 300gps.

PM me, 1st come, 1st serve...hurry Lord Flasheart's losing his Flash, seriously you can see his ribs... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Re: Hosting has been postponed
 

Since the Lawgiver who promised to make a throne out of the atlantian pretender is nowhere to be seen, and the Great Earth Monster GrayZ is now the lord of Mictlan, the forging of thistle maces for FUN might be a suitable work for the unemployed Priest Kings of Mictlan, if granted permission by GrayZ, the Rider of Clouds.

Re: Items wanted
 

Well, you've no call to be stealing Marignons lands. We don't have any gems for you!

Though I guess if you keep it up, then soon your food may not need to stretch so far...

Server Problem
 

Somehow the server refuses to acknowledte my new turn, is there some problem with the server, or are i just going to stall with nothing i can do about it?

Re: Server Problem
 

the server just decided to eat my turns, so i hope it worked...

Man
 

A notification to all of Man's neighbors. Man is doing a mad suicidal rush at Agartha right now. Instead of researching, they sent most of there mages, packed with gems at Agartha. Also sent was an expensive army of knights. A lot of those knights have been destroyed, and all the gems that were sent have been used up. This means that Man is vunerable right now.

Re: Man
 

I wouldn't call the successful siege of Argatha's capital a mad suicide rush! How many PD was that anyways? Good thing PD can't retreat and survive.

Our only neighbor is the friendly Caleum, who is tied up in other wars. We <3 him too.

Jazzepi

Re: Man
 

The server was apparently down for a few hours yesterday, and then recovered. Maybe the internet connection here went down or something, I don't know. Anyway, hopefully it acknowledged your turn in the end Hadrian_II?

Re: Man
 

Wars? Caelum is at war with 1 nation, the pious, religious fanatics of Marignon. Its hardly a war, however, when battle is joined the priests fall to there knees, nodding there heads in religious ectasy. It is there last act in this world as my mammoths send them to the next one.

I consider it a great act of benevolence bringing the priests of Marignon closer to there god... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Caelum, can confirm our good relations with the stalwart warriors of Man, however.

On a side note, we found gems, 2 to be exact, it only took 10 turns of searching! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif The great Caelum gem shortage!

Re: Man
 

Using that many mages at the beginning I called a suicide rush becuase it will leave you vunerable later in the game due to low magic research. I have never come across that strategy before. It is as hard to defend against as an early Van rush.

Re: Man
 

yes it did

Re: Man
 

Sounds like it is a viable strategy, then, having a second fort without paying to build it and with lots of income, and it should be paying off in short and long term.

Re: Man
 

It is a viable strategy. It is quite a good one that I am impressed with, and probably the only that could have been used to cut through my defenses.It just has its risks. That suicidal mad rush statement was meant to be taken as an exageration.

Re: Man
 

Ah'em, our only neighbor Caleum is tied up in an act of witnessing to his confused neighbors. Surely they will soon repent from their wicked ways and turn towards the true god of air and thunder http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Man
 

In particular giant bolts of armor negating lightning seem good at breaking big lines of Argathan heavy infantry. This is especially true considering how useless the longbow archers are against them.

Ulm\'s sad demise
 

C'tis has the sad duty to inform the world of the untimely demise of the Ulmish nation. After all their claims about order being found in the rule of steel, they gave lies to their own words, and staged an unprovoked, unorderly and above all suicidal attack upon the C'tissian homelands. Today, their capitol and remaining army were destroyed by our valiant expeditionary force, and while fewer than a dozen men still try do defy us by barricading themselves in a small border castle in the high mountains, the nation of Ulm has effectively departed to brighter lands.

Let us pray for their redemption.


Sankriss, God of Invincible Power

Re: Ulm\'s sad demise
 

The industrious people of C'tis are ever looking for new ways to enhance their nation, architecturally, socially, and otherwise. At this moment we believe that the advancement of our nation can be served by setting up trade deals. The following proposals are currently available:

* Through the contest of Ulm we have a decent income of earth gems at our disposal. An income we have little use for. Anyone intrested in earth gems, now or at a later date could do worse than approach us about the matter. Especially nations with the ability to forge items in the paths of earth, fire, air and astral might find lucrative long-term trading-relatiuonships possible.

* At this time we might be intrested in purchasing a Dwarven Hammer or two. Payment would be in earth gems.

* We are also looking for a small supply of astral pearls. 10 or 15 would be amply enough for our needs, though we won't disdain smaller quantities. We could pay you in earth, nature, or possibly small amounts of air and water gems. Or items forged by our national mages.

* Next turn our glorious nation will attain the necesaary magical knowledge to start forging greater magical items. (level 4) While our paths are somewhat limited, any and all proposals will be considered. (To Caelum: yes that includes the forging of those precious supply items. Unfortunately we are currently not in such a dire need of money that we would be willing to sell our precious magical gems for mere gold. )

* This might be a bit early, given the research and paths needed, but I'd also be intrested in purchasing an astral booster, preferably the crystal coin. While I'm currently incapable of paying in astral gems, if anyone able to forge said item contacts me, we'll try to find a way to arrange a deal.

Re: Ulm\'s sad demise
 

LlamaBeast.

I resubmitted my turn for this round, but I did not get a confirmation back. Will the server in this case use the second submission, and just not send an email out.

Just to be clear I sent in my turn the first time and got the confirmation. I later decided to make a change to my turn and resubmitted, but got no confirmation that the revisions were received.

Re: Ulm\'s sad demise
 

The server's been having a fit for the last few hours because a new player has an e-mail account that sends some format it can't understand. I've just come back from the cinema to find 42 error messages in my inbox! (It sends one every five minutes).

Anyway, I've just manually resent all the e-mails received while it was down, but as a side effect it's sent all the confirmation messages to me, so a few people will be missing confirmations. But I've just looked, and an "Armadillo: Revised turn received for Agartha" message was among the ones it sent me back. So all is good.

Re: Man
 

Greetings, if anyone is at war with anyone else and the armies of Anfar God of the Vans can help, we will gladly answer the call for the price of retaining what we conquer!
