Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

On games hosted on Llamaserver the general rule is that if a player is going to be away and cannot find a sub he/she should set the nation to AI before sending in the last turn. If this is not done, then the only one who can set the nation to AI is Llamabeast. My understanding is that its doable, but it's a pain and he's asked players to avoid this if at all possible.

That said, we shouldn't have two more weeks of stale turns from Pythium. Since I've just finished my turn and really don't want to redo it, I propose that we let this turn host (it is set to quick host BTW), and then PM Llama and request that he set Pythium to AI. Does anyone disagree?

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Well, I have joined more games, but I would rather play two turns a day in one game than one turn every 48 hours in 4 games. For me, it's the immersion factor.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

I work from 7am to 11 pm. Once every 2 days is more than enough.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Quickhost just gives you the option, it does not force you to do a turn each day. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Sheesh, Sum1. I would say once every 2 days is enough. I think JimMorrison is right, though. With quickhost, if everyone's in, it will run. If you can't make it, no biggie.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

48-hour quickhost will sometimes force people to do two turns on two consecutive days, since the hosting time automatically creeps back unless somebody somehow exactly hits the deadline every turn. Something like 54-hour quickhost would be a more reasonable way to ensure that everybody can do a turn every other day if they want.

I'm just saying that to say it though, I don't object to quickhost in this game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Sure, 54 hour quickhost, hell, 60 hour quickhost would be fine by me, I'm reasonably sure that in most cases it will move along at a better rate - while still giving people on more limited gaming time the chance to not be rushed with their turn. <3

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

And again we're waiting for Pythium,
did anybody contact Llama about switching him to Al?

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Anyone knows when he's supposed to be back? Stale turns will doom him anyway.
I'd like to publicly tell Mictlan tat the wonderful battle at PRecipice showed how peaceful a neighbour I am. I didn't harm anybody but some of Mictlan's misguided believers apparently understood they were on the wrong path. I'm all peace and love, just get out of my land!

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Land Precipice 118, now that was a good battle!
Congrats to Acro. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

I checked Aezeal's other thread when he looked for a sub:
I think we can make him go ai, as he specified he'd leave for 3 weeks, amounting to 10 stale turns...

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

To Jotinheim,
This war is getting interesting and I can't really think of what you got out of this war
By the way that was a glorious battle wouldn't you say?

Also, if anyone has sitings of what's left of Jotunheims armies, the intelligence would be appreciated.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Ahem... no, not interesting at the moment. I just need to figure out how to get enough nature gems to produce enough endless bags of wine for my giants. They get sick if they have to venture far without wine.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Hey maybe I could sell you a couple I have like tree or four bags which you so generously gave to me...

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

R'lyeh is trading Earth gems!

Death or Astral are preferred, though we will take Water or Nature in trade as well. We have over 100 E gems for trade, so PM with your generous offers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

The lovely nation of Mictlan is purchasing water gems and sundry items. PM for offers.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Jotunheim has deceived his ally, C'Tis. While C'tis was led to believe that his ally Ermor was almost dead, and that C'tis needed to divide the spoils, Ermor was far from dead. Therefore, a state of war exists between the nations of C'Tis and Jotunheim.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Thats a truly nice way of making diplomacy - once you see you neighbour on the loosing side you grab his provinces and now you claim you were deceived... tstststs.

But come on, we have no fear of little green animals who smell like fish.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Well...maybe....just maybe....that was planned from the beginning. To lure Jotunheim into Ermor's clutches while I denied you access to Ermor's other provinces, all the while using the old hammer and anvil approach!!!

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Dun dun DUN!

O.O

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Arco is turning AI now. I won't be able to play my turns for the next weeks and the situation is too bad to give the nation to a sub.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

It seems like Pythium might be missing as well.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Lol I guess pythium might be missing yes.. like the last 3 weeks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

hmm I guess I won't even bother to look where Pythium is now, by the sounds of it it's not worth downloading the turn.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

My neighbours must have had a great advantage by not making me AI though..

GL pplz

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Uh, Aezeal, please, if you don't want to play, just send in an AI turn quickly. Thank you.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

mt replacement had like 3 weeks to cover that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

hmmm noone was interested enough in my hammer of the cyclops yet to take it...

strange http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif, I thought it was a nice thing to have.. to bad no wanna be replacement was around to make full use of it...

If a certain water nation I know in my area would be willing to help me a bit with those trolls strolling in my garden I'd gladly give him all lands he can get his hands on and this nice hammer I have here.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

As beneficial as our relationship was - to both of us, R'lyeh must publicly decline your misguided offer.

In your absence the climate of the game has changed considerably, and we have had to make new friends to compensate. Betraying their trust would not only be in bad taste, but would be a very poor strategic move, for more reasons than I care to list here.

According the the graphs here, you have maybe 3 provinces left? I'm not sure why you would feel the need to try to manipulate the situation when you have so little to possibly gain from doing so.

It would have seemed to me that you might offer to send me some sort of reward for not taking advantage of your complete absence starting from the day that you left the game unattended. I was a loyal ally, which is why most of your lands belong to those little green men, rather than to my people. Of course, my public redress of your offer will probably be met with cynical spite concerning this matter, but I only say that because were I you at this juncture, I not only would not try to cause chaos for no gain, but I would gracefully bestow my wealth on those who deserved and would make good use of such things - and then set myself to AI and get into a new game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

ehm no the hammer goes somewhere as aid to a nation that has either helped me (none come to mind if you don't do it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif) or to someone who hasn't had the chance to help me since he was not in the neighbourhood http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif ...

pplz attacking me don't get it since they had 10 turns of advantage of me being out and pplz near me don't get it if they don't help me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Till I join a new game I might play a few turns untill I get bored http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Ow and it seems I have 7 provinces atm http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Micltan is buying blood slaves and water gems in bulk on a gem-for gem basis or 20 gold each

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

This is when even 50-hour quickhost would be nice--I just finished my planning, but if I send the file now, my deadline will be that much tighter on Friday! So I will wait a bit.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Nope. Should still be on 24 hour. Until about turn 60.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

48 hours would be nice for me too. Turns are getting pretty complicated on my end.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

We've been on a 48-hour for a while now... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

ehm yeah I set it to 48 hours before my vacation I think.. and since I only missed 10 turns I think can't have been changed much

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Any moment now.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Wait for it.....!

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

I do hope someone is regretting not accepting my NAP offer http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

The Bakemono have taken plenty of naps and will continue to do so.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

The Bakemono are holding my lands but if they want a NAP so I can focus on TC (who refused my NAP and lost an army) I'm always willing.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

There is also a golem from Ulm who is borrowing some land from you. We'd better find out what it thinks about this.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Well haven't seen the Golem so far.. I guess I'll have to take a look, that means taking some lands in between http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

So you want a NAP or not? 5 turns notice on cancelling?

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

A state of war now exists between Ulm and Mictlan, due to their aggresion via spies and ethereal knights, and the unacceptable invasion of our lands

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

aw joy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif game is heating up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Say, people, here's an interesting note: Summon Earthpower, when used by a mute mage, contributes to the mage's pre-muting magic skill--meaning that his current magic skill may not change. Shinuyama has learned this at significant cost!

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Anyway in exchange for one fortress, Shinuyama will be glad to sign a pact with the remnants of Pythium, in order that the remaining hydras may live out their remaining short lives in the wilds of T'ien Ch'i.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

(The fortress is to be chosen by Shinuyama, incidentally. Hmm, you seem to have only one....)

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Ah.. shinu will have to die then, PS the rhyley armies between me an my capitol are welcome to go anywhere they like but my amry is going to my capitol

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

R'lyeh will attack neither Shinuyama or Pythium, preferring to honor the agreements made to both.

However our ends and our means are indiscernible to most land dwellers. We will not explain our directions, or answer to demands - the currents take us where they will, and we will attack the non-treatied where we see fit, without second thought or obscure considerations.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

ehm yes, but I will attack that province where your army is now since my army is needed in my capitol, which is behind it. Since I you have been a trusted ally I give you this information to do with it what you want but this is my capitol and I need to defend it. I hope you see my point.
