Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I think this would be a good time to take a christmas break from the game, especially since Atlantis and Pangaea stalled last turn, probably due to holiday related stuff.

Put the game on quickhost until the 27th or something?

Oh, and good luck in the war Adder, looking forward to seeing our armies clash :)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

All right, Changing it to 168 hour turns.

I was hoping to get knocked out before christmas, but I guess I will have to wait until the new year.

I myself am gone 26-31, so it's gunna be a while...


========================
Scratch that, I've just gone AI. God got skellispammed off the map.

nice game everyone.

that'll be Korwin as the Admin until he gets rolled under.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Incidently, someone PM me when you want the first post updated...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I have not received my turn,and i have asked the llamaserver to resend my turn.But it doesn't work.

Ctis mscfish

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Email for C'tis changed to mscfish@hotmail.com .

Last thing I'm gunna do as admin...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I apologize for another stale turn there. It was, as you suspected, holiday stuff.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Well I cant play untill the 28th now as the laptop I took on holiday broke =/

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Ack. Sorry it took me so long to get my turn in. I should be done with holiday-related distractions now.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Changed hosting intervall back to 36 hours (and e-mail reminder to 14, was still at 6).
Due date for current turn did'nt change, its still 6th of january 05:00 GMT.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

...and it lives...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Hi there!

I have a (noob) question regarding the patch: do we all have to update our copy in order to continue playing?

regards!

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I assume not for a while. As the patch has not gone public yet. But once it does I think it is up to the admin whether to update the game or not. Llama server probably runs both versions.

That reminds me. Where are you my darkness? You stalled last turn and now you are the last one left not submitted in this turn. Has Atlantis fallen in to the great Ryleth dream again? Or do you have internet problem?

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Admin - could you please force hosting? Its crazy we have to wait for so long to make a turn...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Funny, wanted to ask about opinions for an forced hosting.
Whats the Status with Atlantis? Does he still live? Should he be set to AI or would an Sub search be worthwhile?

Game was (Force)hosted by the way.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Uh, since when are the score graphs on?
*goes looking to the other games, looking*

Hmm, Rock the Cradle is still without score graphs...

Edit:
I dont see an Admin-Option to disable the score graphs after starting the game (or in the other direction, so I have no glue why now the graphs are on...)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

hi there!

there is some error with the ptach which caused the game to show the graphs. (see llamasever)

regards

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Strangely enough, Kings of drama has lost its score graph, when it should normally have one.

According to a notice at the top of the page, there was a bug witch caused the score graphs to appear. It was said to have been fixed. But apparently not.

As for Atlantis, its player seem to have disappeared from the forum. He is in a strong position though, with no ongoing wars and many provinces. It will probably not be hard to find a replacement. Though I think we should wait and see if he turn in *this* turn first. It might have been some kind of unavoidable, but temporary, family issue.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

2 stales in a row is generally a good enough indication that someone has gone AWOL. just start looking for a sub now, and if he miraculously pops back up than put the sub on hold.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I agree. But the last turn was forced ahead of time so its not certain that he would have stalled otherwise. Though if everyone is sick of waiting, well, go ahead.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

But yea. He will probably not show up this turn either. Should I make a thread (tomorrow) or will someone else take care of it?

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

i think we should definitly look for a sub. He is staling far to often and actually altantis position is quite good.... i would love to get a nation like that for subbing but in this game i am already stuck with Tien Chi.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Yeah, I agree, Atlantis has a good position, so it would be a shame to see him go AI, second the suggestion of finding a sub, shouldn't be too hard.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I am a newb, interested in subbing AND I have a strong drive to learn the game better. I can't promise to keep Atlantis in such a good position but I am on the game each night and will keep my turns going.

If the original player re-surfaces soon I would also step back gracefully and wait for the next newb game to start.

Thanks :)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

The King is dead!
Long live the King!

(...Atlantis has an new Pretender...)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I just had a chance to catch up on this thread over dinner.
Seems like quite a bit of drama...

Also, it does seem like Atlantis is cursed.

Ah well, I'll just acclimate myself to the landscape and get a turn sent out.

:)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Ok, when starting the game I choose Atlantis turn 34 but I am immediately asked for a password.

I see from an earlier post that a password is not required.
Any ideas?
I have the file saved appropriately to my savedgames/last_rites folder. I can see and select the game fine.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I found the answer in the llamaserverfaq thread...

Although... I guess by the posters above you already know this ;)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

[s]Got finaly the master PW and sent it to Mauxe.
Delayed hosting[/s]

Ok that was fast :-)
Game on.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Got the PW and getting on now. I just got turn 35 though. Did I end up missing 34?

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Well, someone played turn 34 for atlantis, because you did not stall.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Shortly after I send you the Master Password and I delayed the hosting for 12 hours a turn got submitted for Atlantis.

I thought that where you...?

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Yeah somebody really played a turn for atlantis...cause i noticed some army movement near my borders....

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Odd.. I would think that if the previous player came back he would check the boards. I assume he also had a turn 34 file.
Of course with the email address change he would not get a turn 35 file.. which might cause him to go looking.

Anyhow - I submitted turn 35 already.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I am away working the 18th and 19th. I forget what the turn cycle is at at the moment but could I please have an extension so I don't miss a turn. I will send the latest turn in just before I leave and should be back inside 48h from them.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

the lizards of Pythium are seeking water and fire gems. we will pay in gold or other gems.

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

Ermor for Ermorians! Get out Argartans!

Bob still under the undead. ;)

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

Well I knew you could beat that disease ridden army. You probably could have skelly spammed it to death from day one. I was just hoping that *you* would not understand that.

And I did not know that those behemoths had fear aura. If you put some buffs on them, then they could even become worth building!

Still, it might have served its purpose. Does anyone still believe in you out in the world? How many dominion candles do you still have left?

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

The mighty Jomonese empire crumble under the hooves of the fearless Tien Chi hordes! "Ha ha"

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

CNN News:

Growing Pythium Empire will soon add 2 capitals into its borders if not stopped, becoming the most powerful, rich in money and gems, nations.
Something needs to be done, or you are all lost in poison...

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

Oh, we'll get you in the end you fiendish TC, we're just doing a tactical withdrawal. Oh, and stop killing my dragons, they're endangered you know!

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

How exactly did TC manage to kill 2 Gargoyles and an entire squad of Cavalry with just it's PD anyway?

And here i thought that TC would have been dead 10 turns ago.......

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

They have a lot of PD to be honest, and I've made some less than brilliant tactical decisions as well :D

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

How many gold-worth dragons have i slain this turn.....3500 gold?
By the way 3 of your dragons voluntary decided to join my divine collective :)

Great game, i like it!

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

Apparently Ermor is really immortal (and immoral), otherwise how can it be its still alive (well undead).

Bob


OOC: Dont see any white candle anymore, do I miss one somewhere?

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

I DONT KNOW!

I though you would have been dom-killed several days ago. I cant find any of your candles either. I assume there must be a few in atlantis territories...

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

Is this one of the strange things which can happen because of a rollback?

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

Maybe. I'm hoping it's just a delay and that he will keel over tomorrow. As in: If you end a turn without dominion, you will die.

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

Nope. He did not spontaneously fall over dead this turn either. Seems like I have to finish him in the old fashion way after all. Good thing I bothered to bring that big army up there. But I have the worst of luck when storming castles:(

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

I think this game didnt get rolled on its back...

Edit: Uhm, since I'm the Admin (inherited) in this game, we didnt do an rollback for shure. :D

Re: Last Rites - Running
 

no, we didn't have a rollback, so that's out of the question. Korwin, do you have any provinces with white candles in them? if not than this is certainly a bug and should be reported in the bug section.
