I vote for as well. I'm willing and happy to accommodate for the people that need it.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Against

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

To clarify, my observation was that Jarkko's request for extension should be granted and that we may want to make the extension permanent at THAT time. I'm OK wih the current hosting until then.

So, against.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I'm all in favor of granting any requests for extension. We're only on turn 2x of what will likely be a 7x or 100x game. I'd just rather get to mid game 30ish or so before we increase the timer.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I am btw also against increasing the hosting schedule in general at this point, but wanted to bring up my timing problem next week properly in advance :) However, considering that in a week we are already are at 30+ turns, perhaps the situation is differen by then.


EDIT: I am also btw fine with no extension for me. I may be able to get hooked to the internet from somewhere, and at worst I'll stale one turn only.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

hmm, plenty to do each turn already, so yes to 51hrs from me.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I'd rather have a faster schedule and grant any extensions needed. Against 48h for now.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

i prefer 27 hrs with the odd extension. This game is still early enough that turns shouldn't take too long

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

YES, I'm going to be out of town regardless of what we decide on weekends.

If it gets too much I will just let the wolves gobble me up!!

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

My turns are still going pretty quick! :D

oh wait...

:(

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I'd prefer you just grant extensions as needed. It's only turn 22, the game will take forever if the timer is increased so early.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

This is pretty much my opinion too :)

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

B) Keep the timer at 27hr quickhost

Turns aren't taking that long yet

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

No time for a formal count atm, but at first glance it looks like we don't have quorum. Regardless, Caelum formally requests an additional day for this turn, as we comically are traveling by air again today. c

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

May I request an extension? I have (or will have shortly) the current turns in. However, I have been called out of town Wed/Thursday, and so would like a 36 hour extension, delaying any processing on thursday to Fri/sat?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Of course.

Again, if you have any requests, a PM is the best way to reach me. For example, your request to help me against Hinnom :D

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Going AI, good job Agartha and C'tis

also,

Nice map cleveland

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Let it be known that T'ien Chi is a NAP-breaker. The following PMs were sent no less than a turn ago.

http://img242.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ibreaksnap.jpg

We urge other nations bordering T'ien Chi to take notice and realize what agreements made with them are worth. Fomorians may only have one eye, but we saw that one coming a mile away. Fortunately, we made adequate preparations. Hopefully Chris has as well, because there won't be any mulligans in this one ;)

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Let the same be said of the Pangaeans, who broke their pact with Marverni to invade my territory while my forces were otherwise occupied. A tempting proposition to be sure, but is shattering the bonds of trust with the nations of the world truly worth it?

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

To the noble Marverni. Pangaea did suggest a NAP and co-operation against some third part when you did move some 180 troops to my border. Marverni replied they are not there to attack Pans, but ignored the NAP offer or the suggestion about co-operation, and mentioned you had an on-going war with another nation and didn't want anybody interfering. I then communicated with this other nation, and they seemed to be slightly surpised to hear they are at war with Marverni.

When somebody moves lots of troops to my border and ignores discussions about NAP, do not seem to have any excuse for the massed force, and tries to pull an outright blatant lie, then I tend to get slightly worried. I can't help it, it is one of my many shortcomings :( Sadly, when I am worried, I send in the maenads. And I am not short of maenads.

Did I shatter the trust with the other nations? That may be so. However, I would be interested to know how they would have acted if all of the sudden Marverni moved massed forces to their un-guarded border, and Marverni then simply ignored pleas for a discussion on a NAP?

I don't know, all the mails going between Pan and Marverni might have been confusing somehow. But I got the impression Marverni has zero interest in any co-operation with Pan. If I got the wrong impression, then I am sorry. Please use more clear words in the future, I get easily confused by long words seemingly meaning nothing :confused:

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Let all nations know, Vanheim claims all lands neighboring province 224 by right of conquest. All who infringe on these lands face the hostility of the Vans who have sacrificed much for them.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

In other news, Pangaea scouts have witnessed a few battles where Vanheim was present. The conclusion is this: Vanheim is by far the most dangerous nation Pangaea scouts have had the luck to witness in action. I do not know how Vanheim graphs looks so mediocore, but their actions are simply said superb.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Chris, your private message box is full. I will now attack the province I mentioned earlier, please PM what you feel would be adequate consequenses for this.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Requesting a 12-24 hour delay to plan my next move, assuming I have such a luxury at this point. It's getting rather late here and I tend to not think as clearly at this time. I'd rather send my turn when I'm more clear-headed and when not as pressed by the deadline.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Since a separate request was also made to extend the hosting interval this weekend, let's run on 51hr quickhost from now until Monday.

Cheers,
cleveland

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Wow. So many brain farts this game. First I forgot to tell Jarrko I was fine with the NAP, next I got enemy armies on two fronts in practically the same turn. I'm not coming back from this. Anybody who wants a piece, come get it while it's fresh. I'm going AI. Good game people.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Chris, if you expect to recieve answers to your questions, you really really (and I mean *really*) should consider emptying your PM box a bit :)

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

LOL
I empty it as fast as I can

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Hey, don't hate Chris cause he's popular, dude can't help it.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I will pay a bounty of 300 gems to the first person to capture a Fomorian castle.

I will pay a bounty of 200 gems to the second person to capture a Formorian castle. It may be the same person (but wouldn't you hate it if it were? - sign up now to avoid that conundrum!)

You must immediately advertise herein your intent to do so.

May the race begin......

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Bold proposition, I'll personally think on it but promise nothing.

Edit: oh and I'm in the market for a water booster, PM with offers, will pay in gold, nature, death, astral, fire or earth.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Tien-Chi has already shown his true colors by breaking a NAP. Do you really want to put your trust in their vaporous promises? At the rate they are leaking gems, there's no way they'll make good on that offer.

Fomoria will counter with an offer it can actually keep. No harm will come to any who assist us in freeing the world from fear of their powerful, triple-blessed sacreds. Take what you will of their lands and harvest their gems for yourself. The giants have already seen indications that they currently control two very powerful magic sites. Don't let your neighbor beat you to the spoils!

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Certainly, I admit I broke the nap - not deliberately as you know. Say what you will to sway game opinion; but I do wish for purposes of honor you would inform what happened.

One of my groups (out of six or seven) moved to your territory. 223->169 vs 223 ->173.
I was trying to join two armies and missed. On finding my mistake, I paid you double the province income, emailed you, and moved every army away from my border.

I certainly accept that you elected to go to war. However, given that I have a reputation of never breaking a nap, and made every effort to correct it I do think its a bit of a stretch to call it a vaporous promise.

My gem income was 49 previously. 500 gems on turn 28 is therefore quite possible, and in fact I have them in hand already - as other people can attest. As for making good - the only real question will be whether they'll do it in time to get the reward. As for conquering my lands shouldn't the question be would they rather these lands were in Tien Chi's hands or the Giant Formorians? Its rather moot, as I doubt anyone will be able to beat *you* to them and even if so, can they beat your armies?

Your castles I know about are 169, 207(capital), and 175... Let the race begin!

In the event of my death, with no one capturing one of your castles, I will forward my gems to Jarko if he hasn't screwed me, or to Ctis/Mictlan (same conditions).

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Oh damn, there went my opportunustic plan... :angel

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Fomorians know nothing of T'ien Chi intentions. All we can go by is your actions. And the very turn after you requested and extension to a NAP, 4 armies appeared at my borders. One of those armies actually attacked! I believe any sane person would have made the same conclusion I did. If you think a promise of ~40 gold 20 minutes before a turn hosts with no chance for me to recall any orders is every effort to correct your 'mistake', you're clueless.

Secondly, instead sucking it up and fighting a war that was sparked entirely by your own actions, you choose make a grandiose bounty post that, if paid, would clearly eliminate any chances you have for victory. That tells me two things: 1) you're weak, and thus I made the right decision and 2) you're vindictive... not someone I would want to continue to deal with in the future.

Fomoria won't stoop so low as to post locations of your castles and other strategic resources in the forums. Anyone interested may contact me privately, however.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Hey, I can't screw him if I can't reach him, here's hoping for a wealth of gems.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Formoria,

When I requested the nap extension I told you I was involved in a fight with Marverni. Any nation is 'weak' when involved in a fight with another nation.

As for the tools of war - you use the tools you are given. If you are willing to forgo giants, I for one will be happy to forego gems.

As for massing on borders, a picture is a worth a thousand words. Here is a screenshot of my borders in spring, the turn after you agreed to NAP, and you found out I was involved in a fight with Marverni. My troops massed on my capital - yours moved to the border. I'm happy to provide others if you contend these are inaccurate.

Casual observers will also note that my gem totals show 509 gems on turn 24 - let alone the gems earned since then. I don't lie.

Finally, my fate was sealed when you took advantage of an opening and attacked; my gem bounty didn't seal my fate - so far no one has even stated their intention to claim it (as required). We'll give it a turn or two - my intent is to purchase allies while it might still matter.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I bear no ill will towards Formoria and its king - this is the clash of nations, and in your shoes I might have tried the same thing. But - if you think I'm going to just rollover - thats not in the cards.

By-the-way: Anyone that takes one of the territories with Formorian troops marked on the map - I will offer 20 gems of the victor's choice, subject to availability, of course. A good way to break into a path you may have not have access to. PM quickly.. Fomorians are at the gate= ).

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

This will be the last turn for anyone to announce they are going to go for the various bounties.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Flat out lie; you said nothing of the sort. Feel free to post any evidence to the contrary.

There's a big difference between a raiding squad of blessed flyers and a few javelineers guarding a site searching mage. I'm sure the other players can decide on their own which should be feared more.

Furthermore NEVER did we trust your word and suspected it was all just a ploy to get Fomoria to lower it's guard. At that instant in time those squads were deployed to deter raiders in addition to site searching duty. It turns out we were right... T'ien Chi attacked the very next turn.

See first statement.... not to mention the broken NAP.

This is the biggest joke of it all. A triple-blessed T'ien Chi that doesn't even attempt to fight before threatening to throw gems at random, and airing dirty laundry. The only nation whose fate will be sealed is the poor sap that believes you will actually make good on your offer and send them 80% of your gems. No doubt the moment the two of you roll Fomoria, you'll simply turn on them and thank them in kind by conquering all their lands.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

By the way - I have to compliment you on your Tartarian Factory; with the number of faerie queens you've summoned you've either got it, or will soon have it, this turn or next.

Came as a complete surprise. And its a real impressive feat this early in the game.

Proffs to you.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

No one has enough research to either summon tartarians or faerie queens.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Ah. After looking at the battle replay again I have to conclude you're probably right. I've never used the spell summon sprites - I've always gotten them with queens.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Time for the anticlimactic reveal...

Oceania is allied with T'ien Ch'i in the war on Fomoria. Probably not news to Fomoria, what with my huge army gathering by the shore. The reason I'm announcing this is to encourage others to join in and try to collect the bounty. Get your spoils of war while they're still hot!

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

The vast might of Oceania enters the fray! Will anyone take the chance to get their feet wet before the sole remaining aquatic becomes too powerful? Tien Chi's gem stockpile must pale into comparison to Oceania's 74 gem income drive hoard!

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

The news agencies of Fomoria, Tien Chi and Oceania have gone all too silent. The Pangaean rabble is getting restless, all we see is the graphs going up and down, but we hear no smack-talking :(

So, what is going on? :)

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

Vanheim is not long for this world. While fighting a bloody losing war against Abysia in the west, the traitorous Sidh of Tir na n'Og have attacked us from the north. I'm willing to give my entire supply of 3000 gold and hundreds of gems (including more than 100 astral pearls) to anyone willing to do anything particularly nasty to either Tir or Aby.

Re: Magellan: All-EA Nations CBM game, 3D spherical map, Running
 

I may need a delay later this week. I am going in for corrective eye surgery (lasik) on Thursday, and am not sure how long until I'm seeing well enough to play. My guess is two days.

I'll play every turn I have available Thursday morning my time (late wed night US), which means nothing will be due for at least a day, but may not be able to play turns then, and even if I can probably shouldn't be staring at a screen.

So, if we can either put a delay in then, or if the admin can keep an eye out and if I haven't got a turn in I'd really appreciate it. Obviously as soon as I'm ok I'll play turns and post.

If for whatever reason I'm not back longer than people are prepared to wait, I'll wear a stale or two - don't think I've vanished and waste time searching for an AI.

If I don't come back for ages please look up a good eye specialist for me because mine obviously hasn't done his job right!

Thanks,
Dragar
