Re: War?
 

How many times in a row has Mictlan staled?

Re: War?
 

he has staled like 4 of the past 5 turns. I like folket, but he obviously is not interested in this game. Sort of a bad experiment to take mictlan with no f9 or s9 bless.

Re: War?
 

If I've submitted my turn pre-patch, do I need to reconnect with a patched dom3 and redo the turn?

Re: War?
 

Since the server has been patched, it cannot hurt anything.

well, the timer has been reset again to 48 hours. That will mean 120 hours for this turn. heh.

Re: War?
 

I don't think you will have to redo your turn.

If somethng messes up I can restore to right before I patched.

Re: War?
 

Thanks for getting everything patched so quick Velusion.

Re: War?
 

Folket's Mictlan experiment looks like he has turned them into some sort of vast slave-trading empire. Mictlan slaves, not blood slaves!

An interesting idea, but probably not much fun, like Xietor says. I'm not sure why Mictlan didn't just go AI instead of staling. Maybe he was thinking of toughing it out?

Machaka (rasko) seems to have vanished entirely, from all the MP games he is in.

Re: War?
 

I just logged into the server and there is still 48 hours to go to host? Not sure why the server is not counting down?

Is there anyway to just force host? While Evilhomer has not done his turn, he has had over 72 hours, and it is unlikely that anyone needs more than 72 hours to do their turn at this stage.

Re: War?
 

Somehow the server was on 24 hours instead of 48 this turn. So I asked Velusion to please fix it, since there were about 7 players who had not submitted their turn yet, and the 24 hours was about to expire. The web page said something like 1 day, 6 hours to host, but the game itself said 6 hours.

I think he restarted the server with a 48-hour expiry. You can't really add time to the current turn any other way. If he had restarted with 24-hour expiry to add the extra day, then we'd be back at 24-hour turns when it hosted again.

I have no idea why Oceania has not submitted their orders yet.

Re: War?
 

EH is a good player. If he had internet access and wanted to send in a turn, it would take him no more than 15 minutes given the small size of his empire.

So he either has no internet access(and he warned us that may happen), or he does not want to send in a turn. EH is pretty good about getting a sub when he is done with a game, so I assume he has no internet access.

EH post on this thread: "I managed to get ahold of an internet connection so I am still playing, I don't know how long I can continue to play though (depends on a few things)."

But i do not think the entire game should be held up for 1 player when he has had 80 hours to submit a turn.

Re: War?
 

Oh, I hadn't seen this thread, I just did a search on evilhomer now:

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=581730

It looks like he didn't find a sub, and he's not going to be doing his turn.

Edit: And of course, when Velusion patched (thanks Velusion!) he had to restart the server, so it started counting the 48 hours all over again. Everybody should have plenty of time to get 3.15 on their system before the next time it hosts, at least.

Re: War?
 

Well, I think Oceania is in as good a position as any of the water races. Does anyone know a sub? His research is actually way up there. It would be a shame to see another race go ai, especially since Oceania is in fairly good shape.

I could ask Tyrant, though I am not sure he is fond of me after Alpaca and the Big Game. But he loves water races. I sent Tyrant a tell outlining Oceania's position to gauge his interest.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

A sub for Evilhomer has contacted me. I gave him the password.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Have we mentioned that we just cannot heap enough praise upon Agartha? Truly, if we were any other nation, we would surely want to be Agartha. They're just the cat's meow. They're really good at digging things, too.

And yes, Ermor and their sibling nation of Pythium are at peace. Although, just to set the record straight, Machaka attacked Ermor, not the other way around.

Re: War?
 

Lol. Not many people are fond of you after playing you Xietor. Still, grudges should not carry over between games.

Re:Sniff
 

/sniff. Why not? I am a nice person? I luv everyone!

Message to whoever is playing Oceania: We have a 3 turn nap, but I did allow EH to own a land province in my area. I know EH from other games and trust him.

He was going to tell his sub that I was taking that land province in my area if EH relinquished control of Oceania. That has occurred, and my army will be in place to take the land province in my area the turn after next.


That is not a violation of my 3 turn nap with EH as I had told him of this fact. If you foolishly consider it a violation of our 3 turn nap then be warned that Pythium can enter the water. But we consider a 3 turn nap in place between us, with the caveat that you owe us a province.

So welcome to the game. If the new player is Tyrant, then send me a pm and we can discuss things in depth. We harbor no grudges from past wars in other games obviously or we would not have sent you the pm to alert you to the open position.

Good Luck Oceania, and may we maintain the peaceful relations that we have enjoyed since turn 1.

Re:Sniff
 

I was perhaps a bit harsh. The bold type was an accident done when sending. It was really just a joke.

Ghost players ?
 

I didn't manage to get the internet to work during monday-thursday (couldn't get the wireless to work properly in the apartment my company put me). Since I did my turn with 40+ hours to spare on sunday I figured I would miss exactly 1 turn during these four days (which I can live with). Now things are really weird, some orders seems to have been completly changed, and others seems to have been added. Anyone know what has happened to this game ? Is it related to the new patch ?

Re: Ghost players ?
 

Flip back a page or two here. I found you a sub (you were looking for one right?). People here managed to convince me you were gone for good - so my apologies. I should have dropped you a PM.

Do you still want to use the sub? His name is Thaithus

Re: Ghost players ?
 

Oh no, you've been subbed! Everyone thought you were gone, and you said you needed a permanent sub here:

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=581730

Please look at the top of this page, and the previous page in this thread, starting around post #586039. You can see us talking about it.

If you PM Velusion I'm sure he'll sort it out for you.

Re: Ghost players ?
 

EH, I am near certain a sub(maybe Tyrant) did your last turn since you were mia with no explanation. Read the last couple of pages and all will be somewhat clearer.

After 80 hours had passed, and you had not done a turn, coupled with your attempt to find a sub and statement that you had iffy internet, I honestly thought that what you feared would occur did in fact happen.

And it really was not fair to hold up the game for 5 days waiting on you(though that was not your fault of course). But I hope it all works out for you. I see Tyrant is not the sub, or he most certainly would return control to you if you wanted it. Good luck in getting it sorted out with thadeus.

Re: Ghost players ?
 

Oh, I was subbed .... I see. Not much I could do really, since I was told the apartment had an internet connection (that I failed to set up). I can understand why you might have thought I went away for good, due to my recent posts.

Re: Ghost players ?
 

I can just tell the sub that you are back... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif if you want back that is...

Re: Ghost players ?
 

It is fine. I can only continue with dominions until the 25th of march (thereafter I am going away for 5 weeks without dom3). Guess he can have it in that case.

Re: Ghost players ?
 

Good luck with the new job EH! I hope you get some type of internet in time just so you can entertain yourself by watching people make fools of themselves on youtube! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

AGARTHA AGAIN!
 

Agartha the Great hereby proudly announces that in a killing spree the fierce agarthan milita killed the God of Eriu and his once proud army. The kingdom of Eriu and his rich provinces soon will fall to Agartha and his vassal Mictlan. This shall serve as an example to all nations that haven't paid their tribute yet.
While this is announced all of Agartha is ecstatic and holds one orgy after another.

Re: AGARTHA AGAIN!
 

The server reset to 48 hours. ughhh.

Re: AGARTHA AGAIN!
 

Yeah, this one is taking a really long time to host. Is Reay still playing?

Re: AGARTHA AGAIN!
 

He was talking about last host. This turn is still within the 48 hour period.

I will be doing my turn tonight (Aus time) which is about 6 or 7 hours away.

Re: AGARTHA AGAIN!
 

Cool Reay. Just checking. I know Dom players come from all over the world.

Re: AGARTHA AGAIN!
 

Not only is Reay still playing, he owns 2 capitals and looks to be a force to be reckoned with.

Good Luck Shinuyama.

Another smith hammer for sale!
 

I can spare another smith hammer for 15 nature gems.hammer already sold
I can exchange some of my astral gems for other gems too.

Re: Another smith hammer for sale!
 

Ummmm. Did anyone receive 15 nature gems from an anonymous source (Ermor)? If so, we will pay you to get them back. Or, just enjoy the free gift.

trade?
 

Does anyone have a mage with f1d1 that can forge the f1 booster. Will pay well for 1.

Scorpion King
 

The Scorpion King of Abysia is dead. Amen. Pray he stays that way.

Re: Scorpion King
 

I think that insect will rise up from his grave next turn. It seems like AI is very good at calling their god back, at least in SP.

Re: Scorpion King
 

Well, if so, then we will kill him again. Lowly Scorpion Kings do not bother the powers of Ermor.

Re: Scorpion King
 

I think that Pantera-Cemetary Gates will be my new battle music. It seems rather appropriate.

gulp
 

The small peaceful Nation of Pythium glances at the score graphs and sees it is surrounded by much bigger and more powerful neighbors.

"We are traders, not fighters. A small peaceful country nestled in among the world powers. We are at war with no human players and wish peace and prosperity to all....A threat to no one, open for business with all nations."

Re: gulp
 

Agartha the Great hereby declares war on the Vans! You wounded the earth and pillage the sacred earth gems! You attack Agartha's vassal Mictlan! And you attacked Agartha the Great itself and with that broke your vow when you surrendered to Agartha the Mercyful! Taste Agarthan stone evildoer!

Re: gulp
 

GENGHIS KAHN: THE EMPEROR OF ALL MEN, pages 106-107:

One day in the pavilion at Karakorum he [Genghis Kahn] asked an officer of the Mongol guard what, in all the world, could bring the greatest happiness.

"The open steppe, a clear day, and a swift horse under you," responded the officer after a little thought, "and a falcon on your wrist to start up hares."

"Nay," responded the Kahn, "to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet -- to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best."

Agartha proudly announces two more victories!
The God of Mictlan is as dead as the huge Vanheim army that was attacking Agartha's invincible milita. Once again the Vans helplessly glammered to and fro in confusion casting harmless lightning bolts, phantasmal warriors failing phantasmical to hurt the invincible militia just to be cut in halves by stone glaives and raw Agarthan steel.
After this great battle the traitor God of Mictlan cowardly attacked the Agarthan army during the victory party. Poor blue dragon. The battle lasted merely 2 turns.

It's only a matter of time until Vanheim is destroyed and erased from the memories of all living being. Agartha knows no mercy with the sneaky, backstabbing Vans!

Poor Pythium
 

The small empire of Pythium, half the size of its neighbors,
has cast GOH as a purely benign gesture to alleviate the suffering of the elderly in our empire.

A glance at the score graphs show most of nations controlled by players own twice the provinces of Pythium. Since we are a peaceful nation of scholars, our borders tend to remain small.

Last turn a genie named Al KHazim entered service to Pythium. We realize that such service is temporary, but we ask as a gesture of goodwill that any nation that seeks to summon the genie have the courtesy of contacting Pythium first. Pythium rewards kindness, and punishes treachery.

Pythium will also report that constr 8 has been reached by at least 3 nations. Pythium was not the 1st, and Pythium does not have the Forge Hammer, the Chalice, the Dark Scepter, the Soulstone, or about 25 other artifacts-but someone does.

This information is a public service to save others from wasted research. Pythium-a name you trust.

Lightning and Wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Helena is your goddess, and she lives in the Earth. Does Vanheim worship a true god of the Earth, or one who comes from the heavens?

Over such matters wars will be fought and kingdoms torn asunder.

Re: Poor Pythium
 

Xietor - excellent, lol

Re: gulp
 

I hope you were patrolling the home province in anticipation of that, and killed it... but it sounds like you were not.

Oh well... he'll probably come straight at me again.

Re: gulp
 

*laughs from the grave*

Re: gulp
 

Who dares to speak the name of the goddess of Agartha the Great loudly!? Only the Stone Oracles have the right to do so! But the things you, Phytium, said in correlaiton with Her, would honor a Stone Oracle. OR ARE YOU SAYING THAT HELENA, THE ONE, THE ONLY TRUE, IS THE GODESS OF THE VAN SCUM? EXPLAIN YOURSELF! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif[/img] Indeed over such matters wars are fought!

And Agartha the Great heard rumors, that other nations than the van scum are in possession of sacred earth gems, mining them out of the heart of mother earth itself. We command every nations to stop this sacrilege at once and send all their earth gems to Agartha immediatley! Only vassal states as C'tis, Jotunheim and Eriu have the right to hold up to 15 earth gems!
