Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Actually I checked my sent mail and i DID send the turn, I just never got the confirmation, and I sent it hours before hosting was due ~3am Japan time. It really was late and I pretty much passed out without checking as I had to confirm my trades and reply to all the diplomatic missives too.

Well, anyway I'm going out on vacation next week and I certainly for now won't have the motivation to play with a stale at the back of my mind going 'what if what if etc' so I'll be needing a sub as well.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Another reminder that llamaserver may not be properly showing the hosting time! It may host at 2230 GMT TODAY! Get some kind of turn in if you can. Every game is being affected by this from what I know.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

We haven't yet been able to find subs for either Hinnom or T'ien Ch'i.
I don't think we should proceed without them, so I'm going to keep postponing the game while we keep looking.

Shard, how long are you going to be away for?

Amonchakad, any chance you could play a turn or two so we can limp along while we look for a sub? T'ien Ch'i played this turn, so we could at least run this one.

Helhiem I'll set AI before running this turn if he doesn't play.
I've heard rumors Mictlan is also in a bad way. If he stales again I'll do the same.
Abysia is also almost finished. I hesitate to set him AI, because I'm the one killing him.
Caelum staled last turn and hasn't played this turn yet, but seems to be doing quite well. Hopefully he's still around?

I'll keep postponing a day at a time until Hinnom plays or we find a sub. Assuming the llamaserver problems don't hit us. I suggest those who don't want to stale get your turns in, just in case.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I can get a turn in before tuesday 2300 gmt but after that it will be very slow or not at all until oct 18

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I'd focus on a TC sub first. This game may implode if we have to keep waiting for 2 subs and not run a turn for a few weeks. I'd probably go ahead and run the current turn

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Hey shard, can you post for a TC Sub or let someone know your password?

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

He did post on the games seeking players sticky thread.

I added a post to the one I made for Hinnom.

I hate to let Hinnom die while they're still viable, but I'd rather set them AI than let them just sit.

TC, we really can't let stale, since Shard is coming back.

And Caelum still hasn't played, which has me worried.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Oops.

I missed the deadline and let the turn host.
I think we can live with that. We were still hoping for a sub for Hinnom, but it isn't looking good.

I'm really not sure what to do at this point. A long delay could be fatal to the game, but I also don't think we should go ahead without a sub for T'ien Ch'i. He looked for one, with no success and is planning on returning.

Mictlan & Helheim will be set AI. Setting Hinnom AI will be a disruption and a gift to Vanheim, but I don't see what else to do.

Caelum also seems to have disappeared. He was a fairly major power, so that loss would be a big problem. I'll start looking for a sub for him as well. Hopefully, he'll just show up again.

At the moment, I don't see what to do except to wait for Shard to come back and hope for a TC sub in the meantime. And hope everyone doesn't forget about the game before then.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I can't believe there are no takers for Hinnom! They're sitting on a pile of giants just waiting to be set loose. It would suck to set them AI, but I figure do it if necessary - people would just have to reconfigure their diplomacy to factor in the new (un)balance.

And what's up with Caelum? I thought TheDemon was a solid vet player - strange to see him go AWOL. Maybe there's been some real-life event there?

In any event, I think finding permanent subs for those two positions would certainly be best (Mictlan and Helheim are pretty much done, so AI is fine for them I think), certainly more important than finding a temp sub for TC. I say, if necessary, wait until Shard comes back (this game has had so many delays, heck, what's another few days at this point - we're all playing other games anyway, right?), and use that time to push hard in finding subs for Hinnom and Caelum (unless TheDemon turns up).

Can anyone else recommend a sub for those two?

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I will set Mictlan to AI this next turn. I have an unconquerable capital, and that is all. My soul-contracts mean i could survive dozens more turns, but with no chance of winning i wont put tir through that.
