Re: Global War (started!)
 

well, Abysia is pretty important for evil. so no I'd rather not see him being turned to AI. What is it with people just leave the game without any warning and leaving their password???

Re: Global War (started!)
 

No, he did give warning. We just didn't pay much attention to him. Read back through the thread.. When I saw Abysia stale, I thought... 'Hey didn't someone say they were going to Japan?' And.. yep, it was Abysia.

It would have been nice for him to send Foodstamp his password, though, you're right.

Hey, Foodstamp! Why don't you take over as temp for Abysia in the meantime (using the master password), until we get his password?

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Abysia's turn is complete. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Meaning, *turns up, dudes!!!*

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Now that we found a reliable sub for abysia, can't we finally turn to a real automated 48h schedule?
I say that because it seems the timer has been reset again this morning after running for 30h or so, not mentioning the week pause earlier.
Frankly, the game has come to a pace at which I'm starting to forget it at times, which is as bad as I can get as a geek ^^

CU, please make it automated so as to speed people a bit. 48h schedule was what was agreed upon at start and the game isn't so advanced that we need a 72h or 96h timer I think.

But it may be just me so enthralled in this game that I can't wait ? ;-)

Re: Global War (started!)
 

So am I still subbing or is Foodstamp gonna stay on? Just PM me if the pw shows up and you still need me, I'm not really following this thread at the moment. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I had to restart my computer, that's why the timer reset. You're probably right that I should start letting people stale if necessary to speed up this game.

However, with Abysia gone, and no password in sight, we still have a problem which will delay us. I'm not sure what to do about it, either. Foodstamp has seen the entire map... it's not quite fair that he stay on as Abysia. I mean, it would be the same if we just gave Baalz the master password to take Abysia's turns with.

We could do that, but as much as we trust Baalz, I'm not sure team Good would be happy with that solution.

I guess that is an option.. if this goes on any longer, we will take that option, I guess.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I have no objection to simply giving Baalz the password. Even with someone less proven, I'd be fine with it- I don't think there is much intersection between people willing to cheat and people willing to sub.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Okay, let's do it then. Baalz will get the master password so he can sub for Abysia.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

That may be foolish but I quite agree with QM. Just hope it's not http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The universe, they said, depended for its operation on the balance of four forces which they identified as charm, persuasion, uncertainty and bloody-mindedness.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Actually, we believe that the universe depends on the balance of a different set of four forces: fighter, thief, cleric and wizard. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You should GOR a fire drake and name him Trogdor!!!

Re: Global War (started!)
 

And make him your prophet!

Re: Global War (started!)
 

mmm...I think I broke a rule last turn :
To avoid any incident, I stated to a player that I intended to invade a province "this very month".
I realize I could have said that I shall claim the province in the near future, but certainly not "this very month", which may then be a kind of coordination.

Is there a way to atone?

100000000000000000 and 6 gems to all of us or....

Re: Global War (started!)
 

yeah cast Nexus within 5 turns and give other evil nations 80% of its share or else...

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Baalz, your secret enemy has been sent to you via PM.

Goodluck!

THE BURNINATOR'S ENEMY IS NO SECRET. THE BURNINATOR'S ENEMY IS PEASANTS.

I'm happy to learn I'm no enemy to you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Global War (started!)
 

The 48 hours is almost up. Can we please stick to a 48 hour schedule barring the rare need for an extension?

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Eep. sorry! I shall get my turn in after breakfast!

Re: Global War (started!)
 

sorry I stalled twice, have been traveling and didn't have access to the game. looks like I missed two key turns too. Time to die pythium, it won't be so easy from now on...

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Is it me or the server's down?
I hope it won't again reset the timer... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I can't get in either....

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Doesn't work for me either. I think CUnknown may be on the road. Hopefully it can be fixed easily.

Also, Good Team, check your hundreds of team emails. Or at least the latest one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Global War (started!)
 

sorry guys I can't connect at the moment. I'm traveling long distance again in a few hours. So probably won't be able to play due to jet-lag. Could I have a 12 hours extension please.

Sorry about this.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I don't know why my computer is down -- well, it could be the computer itself shut off for some reason (maybe a power surge), or my internet is down.

If it's the internet, it will come back up in a few hours probably. If it's the computer, we will have to wait until saturday or sunday to start the game up again, because I am out of town.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I can't get in to the game either. I have tried 3 or 4 times in the last 24 hours....

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Guys, I have to fly to Europe in a few hours. I had no notice whatsoever,
which is why I did not give you any. I will try my best to take my turns...
but I hoped to at least be able to take my turn before I left, and it seems
I will not be able to do so.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Thanks for letting us know anyway. Have you had any luck finding a short term sub? I can ask around if that helps.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Is Global War updated for 3.17?

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Have you sent your password to foodstamp so that we can find a sub ?

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Global War will be updated as soon as I get home (sunday). And actually, the week after next, I will be away as well. I will try to get a sub.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Actually, I found Internet access. I had sent my turn to the host via e-mail,
so everything should be OK... now if I can only find the damn mods that I keep
forgetting when I transfer games...


--------


Hmm, I spoke too soon. Is the server down? I cannot connect.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

that is from the disk world. hi brother http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I'm sorry about the delay everyone. I'm not sure what happened. The server is up again now.

I am going away again next week, I will try the same sort of set up as last time -- hopefully it will work and my computer will stay up for the whole week. I'm not sure what else to do.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

It looks like the server just crashed because someone (Pythium, I believe) loaded up the turn using the most recent patch. I haven't updated the server yet (I will after this current turn hosts). Please take your turn using 3.15 for one more turn. Again, sorry for the delay.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I took my turn awhile ago before the patch, but patched a couple days ago, then connected to the server today to check on things and it must have auto uploaded. I am not really sure how to go back and take the turn on a pre-patch basis. Argh.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I don't think it was you, DonCorazon.. Did it crash on you? If so, I guess it was you. I removed Pythium's 2H file and the server was able to go back up, so I think it was him.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

No - it didn't crash on me.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Can't we just patch the server? I've already patched and haven't put in a turn yet I think.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Same here. But I can't remember if I have played my turn or not....

Re: Global War (started!)
 

Oy, I've already patched as well and am afraid to connect to see if its hosted. I've already played last turn though, so if not somebody just post when it's hosted.

Re: Global War (started!)
 

I suppose it won't hurt to patch? The thing is, half the people already have loaded up their turns using the previous patch.. will that cause problems if I patch?

Re: Global War (started!)
 

We may have to reload our turn I think but no big deal...?

Re: Global War (started!)
 

So do we upload our turns in 3.17 or 3.15? I don't want to crash the server. :\

Also, I checked the server last night and it was working, but it seems to be down again today. Can anyone else connect?
