Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Oh, are we revealing ourselves now?

Very well. To whom it may concern:
You messed with the wrong guy, mofo. Your skank *** is mine, and I'm going to ride it raw.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Um, only those who have been eliminated are doing anything of the sort. At least, I'm assuming that Viajero is saying he was Patala.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

thanks for the extension, got back a night earlier than I expected, so I've got my new turn in now.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Pleased to hear it, but if I brought it back by 24 hours then I think it would skip the reminder e-mails for people who haven't submitted yet. That wouldn't really be fair. An extra day won't hurt anyone overmuch.

If all the turns are in by tonight, I'll make it host and we'll keep going. Otherwise, we'll leave it delayed.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Nope, I was Patala, may the great Marduke rest in peace.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

What the?! All the while I was thinking Viajero was Patala.. D'oh!:doh:

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

What, who, where? Don't answer, I probably won't read this again for another month! And boy that really makes me like this style game.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

A couple more players have been eliminated. Do we get to find out who they are?

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Up to them. Because each team distributed their nations among their players, I don't actually know who each individual person is.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Guys, there's a lot of stuff going on in life right now and frankly I'm stressed the hell out. I'm finding it difficult to focus on this game and suspect I won't be having enough time to do my turns as well. It's been an awesome experience so far, kinda surprised to be doing well for my first mp game, but I think I'll need someone else to man the ship. I can probably send in this turn(38) though so let it host normally, but I'm gonna have to ask to delay turn 39 til I find a permanent replacement.

Hats off to Patala, Bogarus and C'tis for the fighting spirit. It's been a pleasure bashing heads with you, good sirs.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

I've received a request for delay of the current turn for 48 hours. Sorry it took me this long to actually see it. The game has been delayed. This time will also work to find a replacement for Krauser.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Sorry bout your God, TC.:D

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Hi all. Who is Pangaea, please?

See you

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Our team is pretty much down now, so:

I was Ulm
Dark Kitty was Marignon
Septimius was Pangaea

Good Job Arco/Atlantis! Kicked our butts :D

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Congratulations to them :)

I would be curious to know who they are if they can send a pm

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Hail, the glorious dead!

Also, I didn't get my turn 54 from llamaserver until only a little time was left, and I saw a bunch of turns outstanding. I've pushed back this turn for 24 hours because I suspect this happened to others as well. Please check on the game page to make sure you've submitted your turn #54

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

I want peoples' opinions. Is it getting to the point in the game where we need to move up to 72h turns? I'm having a bit of difficulty finishing my turns in time, and I KNOW I'm not the biggest nation in the game.

Of course, for me, I'll start having much more time after this Friday, so it's not as much of an issue.

Anyway, if we get a few people who want to bump up the turn time, then I'll do so.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

I am up for a longer turn timer.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Me too

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Very well. Turn timer's going up to 72 hours, and I'm delaying the hosting of this turn by 24 hours to simulate that for this turn as well.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Is about time to end this game. Midgard and its team are so far ahead of everyone, no one stands a chance.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

I'm in favor of ending it too, especially since it appears that several of the remaining players have abandoned already.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

+1 :(

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Yeah. My team is dead and I am just waiting for midgard to sweep through and kill me.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

Sounds about right to me. I'll delay this current turn for a day. If, in that time, someone messages me disputing the Midgard team's victory, then we will play on. If not, then we will end it.

Also, sorry for not having set a definitive victory condition. That was foolish of me, and I'll keep it better in mind next time.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

To clarify things for the end-game, can we identify "Midgards Team" explicitly?

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

You should base it on what you think your team's chances of winning are against the current major powers. The other people on Midgard's team, if they're still alive, probably won't oppose the victory themselves. I suppose if the people on that team wish to make this known, then I can relay that information if they PM it to me. I've lost my basic record of which nations were together from when I was making the game.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Started!)
 

edit: er... I should probably send out an admin message to get people to check this thread before declaring a victor. I'm an idiot. So, I'll delay for 12 more hours and do this...

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over?)
 

Alright, still no contest.

Congratulations to the Midgard team. Come forward and claim your accolades.

Feel free to reveal who you are now.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

I was Caelum. I was mostly forge-***** for Midgard and Mictlan, but I'm pleased to recount - when attacked, I was quite able to defend myself.

Overall, a very positive impression of LA Caelum.

Mad props to Midgard, who walloped all comers with verve and gusto.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

I was playing Midgard for the last 20 turns or so.

However, Krauser deserves much of the credit for locking down such a strong lead before I subbed in.

Overall, I thought it was a fun format. I'll have to be on the lookout to join the next rand game when it starts up.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

I was the third with Mictlan, though I didn't contribute too much to our victory other than keeping Man and Jomon locked in a stalemate forever.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

Alas, for I was Man. Curse you, Baalz! I was really stymied by that bless on those flying demons until I had storm available. Then I tried to defend my Jomon ally from Midgard, but attracted much more of a retaliation than I could deal with.

Learned much from this game:
1) Gargoyles sometimes just die for no reason...
2) Ozelotl are SCARY with a F9 bless!
3) I continue to be at a loss to counter skinshifters at any research level...
4) Get and equip the thugs BEFORE you need them!
5) Mictlan gets assassins with blood magic...

Stupidest moment on my part: having only one death mage leading my iron-skinned-hasted-quickened-flying-ethereal-lucky behemoths and then letting about 6 skinshifters reach that mage...

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

DrP and Baalz on the same time? I am so glad I was not on the receiving end of that!

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

Hehe, that was definitely my favorite moment of the game. For those who didn't see it a dozen leech spamming assassins took out all his commanders sieging my cap, I cut off the only retreat option and chased a substantial army into routing death with a bunch of slaves.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

That is epic :D

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

Ah, yeah...I was playing Jomon. learned some interesting things--like storm demons are amazing. Also trying to fend off raids from quite a few people is difficult--even if they aren't on the same team, hehe... Those blessed Atlantis troops were fairly effective, and yeah mictlan's blessed ozelots...

Still not sure why my scripting on the last major battle failed to go off, we had declared the game at the point but I was curious to see the results of my newest strategy--how sad.

Also, I've decided that the opponents getting a misfortune event while besieging your capital (resulting in them burning down your lab) should probably not be possible. Admittedly looking back it was pretty amusing.

Anyway, all in all I enjoyed the game concept. It ran smoothly and was interesting. I'd certainly be up for a RAFT2 if one were in the works.

Re: RAFT - Late Age (Game Over!)
 

No man, you deserve as much props. I would've fumbled the end game for sure.:D
