Jazzepi, feel free to storm any time, but be careful of what awaits you behind the walls.

Don't worry. Replacements are already en route.

I'm not worried, furthermore Pangaea welcomes any replacements that are due to arrive.

To the rest of you, a warning :

Calahan is a liar and a thief. He's broken his NAP with us by moving 3+ stealth armies through our provinces to purposefully activate our PD. While at first I thought it was just a fluke, he still has armies nested in our territories. I would not be surprised if he is in cahoots with Caelum.

Situation Regarding NAP's etc (Non-Aggression Pacts)
No NAP agreements in this game will be considered as inviolable in any way. You are free to sign as many NAP's as you wish, but you do so at your own risk. Also, I personally think that in a game like Dominions 3 there isn't really any such thing as an NAP, since in theory everyone is aiming to win, and there can be only one winner. So all NAP's should instead be considered as Mutual Benefit Agreements, whereby both nations benefit for whatever reason(s) from not engaging in hostilities against the other nation. But the moment one side is no longer benefiting from such an agreement, then that is the moment they are most likely to break them. So if you are ever surprised by a nation breaking an agreement, then maybe you were mistaken with regards to just how important that agreement was to them, or how much they could gain from suddenly attacking you.

Also, if any NAP (or like agreement) is broken in any way, be it intentional, accidental, or whatever, then you have no right what-so-ever to complain about it in the game thread. Please keep this in mind. Any disputes regarding these matters should be dealt with via PM's.

While I don't need any increase in "thinking time" I do appreciate the need for diplomacy time when players live on opposite sides of the planet. 48 hours would be tolerable, BUT I gotta say that I strongly disagree with the policy of postponing the turn whenever it looks like someone's going to stale. If you're going to do that, you may as well remove the time limit altogether.

If someone is going to miss the deadline, all they have to do is ask for an extension, which takes 2 seconds assuming they have connectivity. If they can't be bothered doing that, then a stale is appropriate, IMHO.

My mistake. After reviewing my PMs, Yomi and Sauro don't have any standing NAPs.

I'm sure the admin won't mind delaying the game a bit.

@ All - I have increased the hosting schedule from 36 to 48 hours as per a player request, as there were no objections to it. I have heard from Executor Re: the delay he needs, and he said he should only need one day. So I have added this length of time onto the current turn deadline as well to accommodate Executor's needs.

Doesnt matter too much because Niefle is about to loose 90 vampires that retreated into my dominion so he's going to pay dearly anyways.

I also killed nearly all of Neifle's commanders, but yet it says I killed 0 of 12... Something ****ed up.
