yeah that kind of name-calling is totally uncalled for. You would do better to treat players with respect, especially since you are admin (co-admin, acting-admin whatever).

Whenever you use language like you did in your post, you can expect to start an argument. It's just the way things go on internet forums. If you don't want drama then don't start things up.

Also, you should know that posting PM's without permission is against the forum rules.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

OK, whether you like, don't like, agree, disagree, or just don't care, this is over.

Science pro,I appreciate you showing me a link to the rules and will be sure to read it this evening. VFB has already posted on here and I find that sufficient.

As I said, I am not going to change my mind about this situation, but there always are two sides to the story.

Lets get on with the game as we have taken enough time for this.
I am trying to be a friend to YSK and look after this game until next Monday, and even tho I have no interest in playing...I am subbing.

I'm sure earcaraxe and I will work this out in our own way in the future.

Soooooooo, unless you guys want to wait until Monday when YSK gets back...lets just stop this here and continue on.:up:

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Hi all, I was just reviewing the rules, and I realise I've broken one - I've colonised one water province. I'm really sorry about this, I just didn't realise. I'm not sure what I can do about it, but it has no PD so hopefully it will get an event?

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

set taxes in the underwater province to 0 so you won't gain gold form it. don't produce any units from it and don't site search it. if you happened to have found a level 0 gem producing site than build 1 commander in that province along with a lab and put all the gems you get from that site alone on your commander each turn. say it's a Kelp Forest that provides 1 Nature gem, each turn you put a single Nature gem on that commander, so you won't be able to use an advantage gained illegally.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Stick the Tax up to 200 and raise some unrest. Or set Tax to 0. What do others think?

*edit* Do you have a castle adjacent to the water province? Then you get a little bonus resource in the castle.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

I think in the long term (and less micro-management) if you set the taxes to Max (200 I think) it will give you no benifits in a short period of time and the effects you get now will be negligible.

The big thing is if you get gems from the province, you will just have to be on your honor about that. One vanilla province is not a big thing, 3 or 4 would be.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

I've stuck taxes up to 200, built a commander and will give him 7 water gems (I think I've had the province 6 or 7 turns), will keep giving them as time goes on. The province is next to a fort, but I don't really use resources, I don't think they've ever been a limiting factor on my build queues. Hopefully this will sort the problem out promptly.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

I think that will satisfy everyone, and thank you for pointing out the mistake and coming up with a soulution.

If anyone has a better plan, please speak up now..

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

So one has to own a neighboring province for his castle to be able to suck production from it?

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Yup, thats why on turn 1 you can't recruit much but as you conquer the indies adjacent more can be recruited.

Test it with EA Abysia :)

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Water provinces do not provide resources to land provinces and vice versa.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Thank you, as I have never had the occasion to play a water nation or go into the water I did not know that.

that is good to know!!:up:

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Thats really good to know. I wondered about maps where 1 water province is connected to something like 8 land provinces and a couple of water ones.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

As you know I am subbing for Ysk this week while he is Para-Gliding.

I myself will be leaving Friday afternoon to play Rugby in Indy and will not be back until Sunday evening.

Depending on how turns are sent in I will be extending the last turn until Monday Morning.

If we hurry on our turns we can get 2 maybe 3 in by then...if not then the last turn will be extended and I will not be sending in the turn so there can't be a quickhost.

Ysk MAY be back before I do in which case he can do the turn and get you guys back on the road.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Cheers for the heads up :)

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Gentlemen, I am going to extend this turn until Monday afternoon as I am not sure when YSK will get back. IF for some reason he doesn't get back by the time I get back, I will force host and do the next turn also.

I am out of town for all concerned as of right now and YSK will be your contact for extensions etc.

Good Luck All!!:up:

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

They had to cancel the tournament because of possible flooding so wwhen are turns are in I will force host and we will continue until Ysk gets back.

No use holding everyone up if I will be here.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Bugger about the tournament but good to have you back with us in Oceans of Land :)

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

The nation of Yomi is starting an exchange student program starting today. We are willing to invite young ladies (preferably virgin). Their job would be to assist in the study of one of the most forsaken paths of magic...

[OOC]
I am going to need a sub from this week-end until the next week-end at least. Where is the best place to post about it?

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

start a new thread with the title "looking for sub" and add whatever you want to it. you can also add a post to the sticky.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

wrong thread sorry

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

Thank you 13lackGu4rd

The nation of Yomi would like to exchange gems for earth gems and blood slaves.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

I told Ysk to not worry about heading back too quick as he was being attacked anyway and I would see to his nations funeral.

I havn't heard from hin at all, I hope he got back alright.

Anyway, Marverni is now done and I have fullfilled my obligation to him and you guys.

As of now you don't have an admin for extensions etc (unless Ysk wants to continue it and I really doubt that since he is out he will want to), so you might want to put your heads together and figure out what to do now.

Good luck to all and see you next game...files are being deleted.:up:

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [looking for temp sub!]
 

ummm, Grudge, since you still have admin powers than can you please remain the admin of this game until we know for sure that Ysk has returned? or if not than give someone else the admin password so he can act as co-admin in case we need extensions and stuff... or heck, since Ysk's nation is gone we can't really expect him to stuck around as admin. so, anybody volunteer to take on admin duties...?

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Here I am to save the day!!
It all took a bit longer than expected cause my boss decided he needed me right after I returned from my trip. Effectively making my absence longer cause I was put in a hotel again! ;)

Anyway here I am again. Marverni lies in ruin, alas.
Indeed now that I am gone I really have no wish to have to keep checking in here to admin the game, so i suggest you guys decide on who will be the new admin.
I will provide the password to that person and you can all go along your merry ways.

I wish to thank Grudge for being an excellent admin and standin as well as diplomat here on the boards!

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

i can volunteer to admin. I've done it a few times before and I check the forums at least 1/day

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Does anyone else want to volunteer or object to sciencepro? If not I will go ahead and make him the new admin. I will do so tomorrow if noone reacts here.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Hello,

I didn't find a sub in time, so I might have to stall two or three turns during next week. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience it might cause.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

hmmm we can delay for a few days if you need it. Will you be gone an entire week or just certain days?

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

It's ok, no need to make everyone wait, as I am not sure which turns I might have to stall anyway. I'll try to get as much turns in as I can

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

SciencePro is the admin from here on. Good luck and have fun!

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Okay I am admin now. If Kitty or anyone needs a delay, let me know here or by PM please.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

i got two messages this turn: "... was mentally attacked by an enemy mage" Is it the mind hunt spell?

I have 3 neighbors with 2 of them (Kailasa and Caelum) I had an active NAP this turn, and beacause its a clear violation of it, it most probably came from my 3rd neighbor Pangaea. Its a conclusion i find a little hard to believe, because its a S4 spell (and there were 2 of it, so not just pretender), but i dont have many choices. Unless someone convinces me otherwise.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

first of all, yes it's a mind hunt spell. second of all, it can be cast from anybody, even someone across the map from you. as you know, having scouts all over the place is common practice, so you can't really rule out anybody... also while not all nations have Astral, it's no impossible to bootstrap into it if you don't have it at all, and Astral is generally considered as the strongest magic path for spells(Death stronger for summons, mainly tarts), also remember that you can put Astral on pretender too, and it's usually very beneficial to do so.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

On the other hand, on turn 23 it is extremely unlikely that pangaea could have two such mages even if it did have astral on its pretender. It would have had to have gotten a lucky event bringing it a shadow seer or some such.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

thats why i wrote it was hard believe.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Thanks. Altough I - of course - know that it can be cast by anybody. Since then I read it costs only 2 gems - and one mageturn -, which is not much if the mage doesnt get caught.

I still wonder who it was.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

If you're not sure who it is, the best solution is to pretend it's who you want it to be :)

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

it wasn't me.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Wasn't me either. If you're looking for a nation with plenty of astral, then well... Also, a few of my eagle kings have been mind hunted too.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Can i get a 24h extension please?

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

okay 24 hours added

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

In a week my university final exams start. They last a week (from Tuesday 25th May to Wednesday 2nd June). In that period, I would like 48 hour turn gaps, because I am going to be very busy and obviously these exams are quite important. Is this okay with people?

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Thanks for the extension... I had free time sooner than expected so my turn is already in...I would also prefer a 48h schedule...

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

interval changed to 48 hours

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Hi!

I have a great deal of earth gems i would like to trade. PM me if interested. (I will keep my trading partner's name secret)

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

Hi All

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

I would like to know if copying Bogus's order a banned trick?

If it isnt set, i would like to know your opinion about this.

Re: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]
 

It seems Caelum has quit a few turns ago, I tried to contact him but got no response. Maybe we should think about finding a sub? or setting Caelum to AI?
