Re: Xmas
 

Well I must say this wait is getting a bit too long for me too. Waiting an extra day for someone ok.. but extending it to 5 days KNOWING it will last another x days because of holidays isn't good. Not doing a turn between x-mas and newyear is not good either.. but I guess we are minority... and I dont'have a problem getting net access so I'll just check daily http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Xmas
 

Why not find a replacement instead of going AI, caine? Plenty of time to find one with the holidays on

Re: Xmas
 

I've been sieging his capital for about thirty turns now, so it hasn't been interesting for him for a long time (I'm guessing). I doubt his going AI now will change things much.

Re: Xmas
 

Ah, gotcha. Didnt know he was under the gun.

Turn 22
 

Turn 22 is out. Sorry for the delay. We will be back on track after New Years Day.

I have still not received contact from LP, and I suggest that we turn him AI if we don't hear back from him by the next hosting.

Pasha

Re: Turn 22
 

I got my other compy up and running, so I'm good to go.

Re: Turn 22
 

So when is the turn due, Pasha? I'm unsure since we've been off schedule for a while.

As for LP - Shouldnt we advertise for a replacement before setting him AI? I hate it when functional nations are placed AI in a game it makes for unnatural power vacuums.

Re: Turn 22
 

I'm not able to do my turn until I find a working link for CBM. Stupid motherboard.

Re: Turn 22 / Possible Sub for Agartha Needed
 

The turn will be due on New Year's Day.

Ironhawk's point is a good one. If someone would like to take over for Agartha, that would be great (assuming LP does not show up).

There's a link to CBM uploaded by Sombre as an attachment that works here:

Re: Turn 22 / Possible Sub for Agartha Needed
 

I cant say im the best LA Agartha player ever, but I would give it a shot if you need a replacement fast. I can fire up a couple Single player and figure it out. Agartha is generally my favorite nation. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Let me know.

Re: Turn 22 / Possible Sub for Agartha Needed
 

I'll be able to do a turn around NY day, then I'll organise my sub to take the one after, for my return on the 8th.

Re: Turn 22 / Possible Sub for Agartha Needed
 

Hi Cerlin:

I will send you a PM with info.

Pasha

Re: Turn 22 / Possible Sub for Agartha Needed
 

umm Can I get an update on my political situation?
Apparently Im at war with Caelum and Ulm? O.o Im not sure actually... lol
Any info would be appreciated!

Re: Turn 22 / Possible Sub for Agartha Needed
 

I have PM'd you with the Ulm-Agartha situation.

Re: Turn 22 / Possible Sub for Agartha Needed
 

I would like to thank you all for your responses (those who sent them.) It has definitely helped me have a glimmer of understanding when it comes to the political situation. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I will respond to the messages I received in kind and I'll not forget those who were kind to me in the beginning.

Re: Turn 23
 

Hey guys - my work is crazy today. I'm not going to get out till late. Is there any chance I could get the turn postponed until midnight tonight?

Re: Turn 24
 

Turn 24 is out.

Deadline is Sunday night.

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

We've caught a liar peoples

Hello Aezeal:

I received notice that a Midgard diplomat was caught screwing the
daughter of an Atlantian aristocrat.

I have no choice but to give you immediate notice of the termination
of our NAP. The three turns start now (Turn 21).

So, the attacking can commence on turn 24.

Pasha


P.S. I imagine that it will be fun to have a war against you, even if
I lose. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif


and ... I could have taken half his lands last turns yet he attacks me a turn early.. think about it when dealing with atlantis.... they are ruled by liars.

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

Haha thanks for the update! This game is definitely heating up. :O For me too..Caelum is a bastard...(although It may have been our previous ruler who started the war.)
Fighting a war you didnt start is always fun! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

Bah! It was an innocent misunderstanding. The attack occurred on turn 24, but the orders were made on turn 23. I apologized to Aezeal and even offered reparations.

Pasha

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

Turn 21
Turn 22
Turn 23
Turn 24 - Attack Occurred

Looks like three to me; am I missing something?

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

I agree with Aethyr, that timing looks fine to me - I dont believe Pasha was in the wrong. Both players had three full turns to issue orders to thier men before combat started. When someone tells me that a NAP is terminated, I assume that the current turn counts towards the warning period.

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

PYTHIUM TRAVEL ADVISORY:

I will be traveling this Sunday and Monday. I just sent my turn in for the sunday turn so I should be fine. Wanted to let you all know tho...

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

ok.. a misunderstanding... let's just peace and have a few 10 turn NAP and it'll all be forgiven...

PS I only posted the above AFTER i didn't see a reply on my mail to you

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

Jomon has recently encountered an influx of scouts, assassins and other miscreants spying on our humble country. The discovery of any such unauthorized vagabonds from unallied nations may be considered an act of war as we Jomonese are very private people. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

Just a lost tourist...nothing to be alarmed about. You may send those large standing armies home. No need for them to be camping out along our borders. Send them home to play with the geishas.

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

I am no longer a lost tourist and am back to re-join the fun!

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

Man has troops concentrated on their western border since they desperatly want to loose that new capitol they have taken over... anyone interested in a VP is very welcome to take it from MAN

Turn 25
 

Turn 25 is out.

Deadline is Tuesday.

Re: Turn 25
 

So now it should be clear Atlantis really are traitors.. no amends whatsoever have been made...

But I'm generous.. I'll forgive Atlantis for a NAP and a combined action agaist man http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif MUCH easier picking for atlantis anyway

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

Anyone who tries to take the former Mictlan capital will find it guarded by a bunch of defenders. I think you will find it to be quite difficult to break down the gates before my large eastern army arrives.

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

More lost tourists. Tsk...tsk...

Re: EPOTARA (PBEM Game) - Open
 

hmmm I pretty sure that large eastern army will meet my large western army. If you don't want armies to clash I would accept a NAP (taking on Atlantis might be good for you.)

Turn 26
 

Hello:

Turn 26 is out.

Deadline is Thursday.

Pasha

the summer people are here early this year
 

We are flattered by the recent wave of immigration to Ulm. Clearly our neighbors are discovering what we have known all along, the beauty of the Ulmish mountains, the peaceful green of Ulm's meadows (especially now, in spring, when the wildflowers are blooming), and the charm and kind-heartedness of the Ulmish maidens. However we must insist that you leave your weapons at the border! This is for your own protection. The young men of Ulm are prone (we are sad to say) to heavy drinking on the weekends. Normally the damage is no worse than a few black eyes and broken barstools, but if well-meaning but ignorant immigrants bring weapons into the equation, we fear for the worst (for you, not us--Ulmish youths are likely to get the wrong impression if you show up at a bar fully armed and eyeing aforementioned Ulmish maidens, and they are likely to go home and come back with their cousins and their own weapons, and that would go badly for all).

So, in summary:

-- visitors welcome
-- no weapons
-- and please tip your server 15% on the way out


the Greater Ulm Chamber of Commerce

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

It is time to institute some discipline in Ulm. We in Jomon are frankly a bit tired of enduring the drunken escapades of Ulmish frat boys straying across the border on their weekend adventures, deflowering our geishas, breaking Asahi bottles over Jomonese heads, and peeing behind the sushi joints!

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

I think you should all set priorities straight and take on man.. they are AT THIS moment conquering their thrid VP.. I know I had a bit of a headstart but I'm not going anywhere with man and atlantis on me.. Atlantis is not that much of a thread but if anyone takes them on I could use more resources to keep man in check.... I'd say that for other players it's better that me and man keep eachother busy for a long while... at this rate though man will have it's 3th (and maybe 4th VP rather quickly... and considering that abyssia is not THAT well defended either and he's about 3 turns away from that caitol afer taking the former utgardian one... well 5 VP can be easily reached in about the time you'd need to react after I've een defeated.. I uss most you dont'kn the situation around utgards former capitol.. but I'll tell you.. you should worry in a gamewhere 5VP mean awin.

So I would ask of you who neighbour atlantis but mostly man... divert some attention of your armies that way.... ifyou have NAP.. cancel it NOW so you can act before ít's too late. Give man MORE pressure!!

Turn 27
 

Turn 27 is out.

Deadline is Sunday.

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

Oh, pshaw. Everyone knows the red-blooded men of Ulm don't eat sushi, only beef (served rare).

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

They'll be eating Kobe beef soon! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

Hey Jomon... come eat the atlantians then... those fisheads make perfect sushi.. and you'd help a good cause too. The atlantian/man war machine is a threat to all living things.

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

Yummy but Jomon is nowhere near Atlantis - we are landlocked. Ask Ctis or Marignon - they might need some fish oil in their diet.

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

Lies lies lies!

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

Atlantis is allied with man to become a superpower.. oppose them NOW or we will all have to become slaves of man (including atlantis who is obviously getting the worst end of the deal since most of my troop can only fight him while man can take the VP's, but the fishheads don't seem to realize this)

Re: the summer people are here early this year
 

Well if we ever see any Atlanteans (other than the scout we just executed) we will consider your request. In the meantime, please leave the peaceful nation of Jomon to its rice harvest.

Turn 28
 

Turn 28 is out.

Taking djo's lead, we'll have the next turn due on THURSDAY so that everyone will have enough time to play their turns in spite of the delay.
