Well I'm new, I simply do not know these things. As shown with Parone I do honor my NAPs, I just wasn't aware that warm but non-committal language (experience from starcraft) counted, I thought it was diplomacy and fair gain.

I'll guess I'll just say no next time then.

Well I was getting used to saying "I'm looking forward to a profitable (for me) relationship between us"

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

I was a tad harsh in my comments, more than I intended, but giving misleading information will help you in one game, but hurt you in others.

Fool me once, your bad, fool me twice, my bad.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

hooley is right about game to game relations. however, most people would find your behaviour, while admittedly sneaky, acceptable. it has happened to me many times.

also, ossa, when someone refuses to committ to a formal NAP, in the future you should be carefull. it often means they may be gearing for war. and also ossa, since your record(like all of ours) is hardly exemplary, i think it would be sporting for you to let it go and fight on in good conscience.

if it makes anyone feel better about their own situation, hereward is using, of all things, excellent use of PD, as well as a superior understanding of movement mechanics, to make me look downright silly. so at least you are not me.

on with the war!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

wow. dunno what happened, but got my turn file, never opened it, then got another turn file. checked, the admin/staling and it seems only marignon got his turn in-

very odd. perhaps it has hosted again while i was writing this?

my guess is there is no password, and someone intentionally forced hosting in order to mess the game up.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

i was actually really enjoying this game(even though i thoroughly admit hereward was making me look silly).

however, what with the current situation vis a vis mictlan/staling etc we all might be better off calling it quits here. i am NOT dropping out, just floating the idea.

it is hard enough to keep a game going with a good group. with someone actively(apparently) trying to mess the game up, it seems not to be worth the trouble.

i will, however, abide by the group decision.

no matter what happens, i have met several very cool dudes in this game. there are always other games, hope to see you there.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Ok fixed, admin pass set, turning the clock back a turn/

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Hopefully the turning the clock back didn't make the game go bye-bye as it's prone to do.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

kitty, do you think someone force hosted?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Hmmm?

I cannot say, I was quite surprised at the staling myself.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

We should probably make people aware of googly's behaviour. I am enjoying the game, so I hope we keep playing.

And I won't hear any of this talk of making you look silly parone, you are playing very well!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

thanks hereward, but our war reminds me a bit of the soviet union's invasion of finland.

actually, that DID eventually work out...

but seriously, i think the tally is one win for me...a lot for you!

it's is humbling, but instructive! thank god i have a lot more to work with, resource wise.

at least, i think i do...you craftly devil

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

not gonna be able to get my turn in. need 24 hour extension please

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

sure

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

will get it in around 9 tonight, for those of you itching to play...

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Whoa guys parone asked for 24 hrs but the hosting is set back to friday? That is 48 I'm pretty sure. I will also remind you that as Mictlan is still considered as being in the game, it will not host until the last moment.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

got it in. force host whenever. can we get mictlan AI? the guys over at invisionfree are trying to get ahold of googly, but i guess no luck there either.

ahhh googly

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Hi sorry I didn't realize you needed my password until someone emailed me just now. my password is daves1.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

halleluja. thank you googs. sorry this game didn't work out. good luck elsewhere

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Sso I guess I vote we just turn Mictlan AI. I think the majority of its forces have already been destroyed.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

second!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Mictlan has one army that will be destroyed this turn if we don't find a sub. I'm willing to organize a pull out of my forces with someone who takes the position in exchange for some sort of peace agreement.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Can't he has it password locked. Basically only he can do it.

Also I'm talking to Smeghead, see if he is still interested. Go easy on him K Ermor? You basically got the land against a AFK player.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Like I said, if the game's delayed until Smeghed can sub then I'm offering peace, and probably some of the provinces I took.

edit: googly1 mentioned his password is daves1

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Sorry guys, I grew tired of waiting around set up my own game.
Good luck with Mictlan.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

cant blame you smeg. good luck elswhere. things in this game have gotten...wierd

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

AI it is then.

edit; set to AI

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

wow. i am truly getting a steady diet of defeat.

of course, it might have been wise to take the time to actually rescript those 15 commanders...

you have to admit, hereward, Ulm can really take a punch! or even 10 of them

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

It's a shame we don't have graphs enabled. You would have all gotten a treat. The good news is that I don't have any upkeep issues anymore :)

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

LOL. thanks for that krpeters. i was getting lonely living over here in *****slapville.

i suppose for us, there is always the next game!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Well, I'm not out of this one yet, not by a long shot.

"Eat all you want, we'll make more" -- my monkeys are fast breeders, they'll be back!

But yeah, losing comically is what newbie games are all about. Welcome to the club!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

any shot we could get the turn delay up to 36 hours? or 48? got it in tonight, but guaranteed im not gonna get two turns in this weekend. gotta work a ton

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

done
36

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

incidentally kitty, i have been meaning to compliment you on the game name. saying as im 40, and all

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

It's the only online name that is friendly with the people critical of America and those fiercely patriotic of America. Plus it makes for so many double entendres .

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

Could we postpone by 24 hours? I may need it.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

lol. i meant middle age crisis...

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

Thanks for the extension. It's not easy getting a turn in on a Friday night :) I should have a turn in shortly.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

Hey, I'm in a pinch. I'm going on a bike trip out to a friend's cottage in 6 hours, and won't be back for 62 hours or thereabouts. I know we've delayed a lot already, and hope I'm not causing too much trouble by asking for another delay. Completing this turn alone would probably take half of my packing time >_<

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

Well people I check in on this once a day, so I almost missed Sluagh's post. Delayed by 48 hrs, I'll check again in two days.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

Maybe it'd be a good idea to do an automatic extension on weekends. RL does compete :)

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

Woah, that was an amazing bike trip. Thanks for waiting, I really needed that :D

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

Welcome back!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

there has been a lot of PED talk in cycling lately sluagh. i hope your clean...

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

gonna try to do my turn after work tonight, but might need a 24 hour extension.

sorry guys. you should thank hereward, though. if he didn't keep killing Ulmish units by the 100s, id never get a turn in!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

well, that sucks. it was a bad turn to stale.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

hmmm. that stale has soured me up. kitty, im not sure what your policy vis a vis extensions are, but to be honest, when a guy stales, it tends to remove his interest from the game.

like mine is removed from this one.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

I am sorry you staled parone, and it must hurt when you asked for an extension, but as you can see your tactical situation did not suffer, I.e. I made no attacks etc. I know that it is still a harsh blow in terms of not having been able to do certain things, but you are still in a fairly good spot. I hope you do not leave the game, worthy opponent.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

It would be a good thing if the game administrator checked the board once a day... especially during holidays / weekends, when RL frequently gets in the way.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

I try to, if you give me 24hrs warning I would get it since I check once a day, but if you get something like 1-12hrs I can't guarantee that I'd see it. You sent yours in 4hrs before the deadline at 9:30AM GMT+5, I was sleeping. If you gave me four hours warning that would mean that I have to check 6 even intervals a day to get that (not possible for anyone with day-time occupations or anyone who sleeps 8 hours). It's unfortunate that you staled but don't try to blame me when you gave me 4 hours worth of warning, and do you want a rollback?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

thanks kitty. but a roll back is likely to corrupt the game, as well as force everyone to redo their turn, which is no small inconvenience at this point.

this stale was really just awful timing. hereward and i have been fighting a tooth and nail conflict for the last 15-20 turns. i have more numbers/resources, and he has simply played smarter/better.

as such, it has resulted in an incredibly bloody, costly stalemate, but i have felt i was losing ground. i did, however, see one opportunity to turn the war around. i have spent the last 6 turns pouring everything into an attempt to take advantage of this opportunity-trying to move enough forces into position, borrowing assets from other players, making a desperate research push, and spending gems ruinously on conjurations/artifacts. the idea was to try and take our best shot before our window of opportunity closed.

anyway, i was attempting to do all this and launch the attack last turn, which was why i asked for the extension(normally, if i can't get a turn done, i just do a 5 minute blitz turn-which, by the way, is an awful idea). i tell you this not to *****, but so you know im not 'rage quiting' or just being a total wussy. staling last turn ruined about 6 turns of prep, and i honestly feel took away any real shot Ulm had at turning the war around.

im going to send in a turn file next turn, which will allow me to repay a few debts, then will go AI.
