Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Quoting myself again for bonus points. Except this time I'm postponing till tomorrow morning. (going to bed now) Hopefully by then the situation will have resolved itself. If not, all I will be able to do in those few minutes before I leave for work is to extend the timer again, so I hope that won't prove necessary.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Still no show, so extended again. Off to work now. Anyone knowing anything feel free to solve the situation by the time I'm back. ;)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

You are sure you extended? Anyway, no idea what could happen to Ferrosol...

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

frustrated by tons of afflictions on Winnie?..

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

...and the massing of the Dreadlord's servants to the North...

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Whatever the reason (Haven't heard from Ferrosol yet) his turn is now in, so once again we're on the road without me having to expend too much effort. (The last part of that sentence obviously being the most important. ;)) Hurrah for idleness!

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Well, Verjigorm's camping trip is comming up this weekend. I think the best way to deal with this without inconveniencing everyone else is to finish this turn normally, and then have the next two turns at 48h no quickhost. (Hosting times will then be 14h55 (Llamaserver=GMT time) on friday, sunday and tuesday) After which we can return to 24h. (I'm guessing we're all still good for 24h turnaround for a bit longer?)

Verjigorm, will this hosting arrangement allow you to submit all turns? (One friday afternoon and the other monday evening/tuesday morning.)

One tiny little problem though: I'm going to be out of town myself from Friday till Saturday, (no internet access either) and might be back home just too late to extend the timer myself. So, looking for a volunteer to do that for me. Anyone intrested just let me know and I'll forward the Master Password. (Warning: Do not volunteer if you don't consider yourself trustworthy. ;))

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Hi guys !

1 - can I have an extension for the next turn ? (scheduled 14h55 GMT, +6 hours would be great for I am not at home this evening and I may be short of time tomorrow morning)


2 - I can sub you for the admin if you want. But the simpler the better : just extend the turn to Saturday ;)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

I have no problems with slower hosting etc for one weekend. I can even survive no hosting, if it prevents any staling/mess that could happen otherwise.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

I had hoped to avoid that, since Grijalva won't be able to play a turn before leaving if hosting is delayed too much. Still, if you need 6 more hours, you need 6 more hours, n'est ce pas?

I added 6 hours right now, and I'll PM you the password. If Grijalva manages to play the next turn before leaving, then we extend the two weekend turns with 24 hours, if he doesn't then I guess we all have a weekend without homework. ;)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

!! Notice of Absence !!

As previously indicated, I will not have access to a computer starting 12pm CDT Saturday Sept. 4th through around 6pm CDT Monday September 6th as I am going camping over the Labor Day weekend.

Additionally, I am noticing that it is taking a really long time to get diplomacy responses done within the turn time frames and I would like to request that the turns be permanently extended to either 36 or 48 hours.

Thank you,

~ Verjigorm

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

am I going somewhere? I don't think so....at least not that I'm aware of...:confused:

I guess you were talking about Verigorm?

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Indded I was. :blush: (Where's that blush smiley when you need it)

But hey, at least I got it right in my first post about the subject, right? :)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Note to self: Taking old mages into enemy territory with heavy death dominion in winter is a bad idea. :(

I actually forgot that. Really need to stack up some playing time again.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Lanka seeks Earth gems or hammers, and has a surplus of Death gems for trade.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Ha, I recruited an old-age mage just as that "old-age affliction" turn in winter hits: He had great picks, but started with disease AND...mute! :doh:

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Is it possible to move to 36h or 48h schedule?
I feel a necessity for that due to RL reasons. :o

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Well, I think Don Pablo and Verjigorm's requests make sense, maybe it is time to extend a little bit the turns' delay...

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

I was about to ask how people felt about it after this leasurely weekend. :)

Since there's two people who requested it already I will indeed change it to 48h.

Also: Damn! I submitted an updated turn just after hosting. Couldn't you stay camping 10 minutes longer Verjiform? ;) Hope it doesn't cost me. I'm off to look at my turn.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

They requested 36h, so can't it be 36h? :)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Heh. :)

I would have liked to keep it on 24 a few more turns myself, I have to admit, but what you gonna do. I do hate intervals that aren't multiples of 24h though, it totally screws up my sence of timing.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Nah, it does not. And it's much better for those that can manage 24h anyway. Try 36h, until people complain :P

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Bolded the relevant part. Though if you insist I can put it on 36h now, and complain about it tomorrow, after which the game's admin will add 12 more hours. :D

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

I would prefer 37h because prime numbers are cool. Also, they take into account the time drift.

Only false gods do not acknowledge time drifts. :cool:

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

I'm looking to trade for one or two water boosters. Preferably the rings since they're cheaper, but if no one has reached const. 6 yet, the robes will do. I'd prefer to pay in W, N and or F gems.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

It's not a ring, it's a bracelet. :P

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Just a question of scale. I'm deliberately caling it a ring, since I assume it'll be like Atlantis or Niefelheim who can forge this for me. By asking for a ring I'm assuring it'll fit nicely around my thin bony wrists. :D

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

The Lankans wishes to procure 2 more hammers for 30D gems, or 30D worth of craft up to DD.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

I will be out from this Sunday for a week. Squirrelloid has agreed to sub for me, but if you want to do any diplo, please try to do it now, with me :)

camoobeercan: Check your PM :)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Llamaserver won't accept my turn file. It seems to be confusing it with another game. In the other game we are working on a fix with Llamabeast but for now could I get a 24 hour extension?

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Greetings fellow rulers, I, Squirrelloid, have usurped Zeldor's throne. Fortunately he left copious notes of his various agreements, however brief, and I am inclined to honor all treaties, trading agreements, and other miscellania. However, because these notes are brief, I may inadvertently fail to make good on an agreement due to ignorance of all its conditions. If you have made agreements with the former exiled ruler that involve immediate actions on my part, do please contact me (by PM or IRC) so i can make this coup a smooth and painless one.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Extension added. Keep me up to date if anything changes? Which other game is this?

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Anybody has any contact with/news from Camobeercan/Abysia? He staled last turn, didn't respond/read my PM, and hasn't submitted this turn yet either. There's still some time, especially now I also extended the turn for R'lyeh, but anyone with any info, feel free to share.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

And here I was, thinking the game thread was too quiet, and about to sink from the first page. I'll never consider that a bad thing again. ;)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

The other game is on dom3mods. Legendary Ordeals. Annoying bad luck that both ended up on the same turn.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

So, uh... as a -sub- revolutionary leader, the cartography department seems to have left with the previous ruler. We are anxious to begin implementing our new revolutionary policies, but we can't seem to find a map of the world. This has thus far hampered any substantive discussion. I don't suppose anyone could kindly provide a link...

(It should be linked in the first post, for shame =p )

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

come on guys I am getting bored here. Four of you invading me and you have still not managed to kill me off. you just cannot get the enemies these days. Arcosphale with its useless windriders Sauromatia with those waste of space poison archers come on and now one of you is staling pffah. Seriously though I am having more fun in this game then any of the last 4 :P

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Ok, i have no map yet, can this turn be extended so i have time to actually look at and play it.

-Geographically clueless Grand Commandante Squirrelloid

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Squirrelloid, see page 12 of this thread.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

If I remember correctly, that was only the .map file with the updated start locations (which you don't even need to play really.) The map image itself can be found here: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showpost.php?p=643390

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

96h and no sign of life. If I haven't heard anything by the time I'm back from work I'll start looking for a sub. Any of his neighbours can give me a hint as to how describe their situation for potential takers? (Strong/weak/hopeless, at war/peace, etc.)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Well Aby is at war with me and it was going fairly well for him before he staled. I would say they are still in a fairly strong position.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Okay folks. Thanks for the patience. My turn finally got accepted by llamaserver. It would appear that llamaserver takes it for the next game to host when you have nation and turn conflicts. And my other game was postponed again since it has big problems.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Still haven't heard anything, so I'll post a looking for sub post. Any of the guys allied to him have heard from him in the last 108h or have contacted him in another way as through the forums?

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Are you good to go with this Squirreloid, or do you need more time? (In any case it's likely I'll have to extend the timer for Abysia, but you never know if that situation gets resolved fast.)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Good, good. Official verdict is then that this tiny problem didn't cost us any time at all. :)

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

No news from Abysia here despite 2 MP waiting to be read. I hope all is OK for him.

@Ferrosol : those were not real Wind Riders, as you may have already guessed.
I was only experimenting a mutation spell cast on some big flies my scouts found in your former marshes.

Success ! Nobody (almost) noticed the difference before the fight comes to contact.

Now, my next experiment is : try to disguise Wind Riders into big flies and release the swarm on whatever hostile nation around. My astrologers foresee a lot of fun ^^

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Well, it looks like Executor got his moving-house-acquiring-internet-problems sorted exactly at the right time to take over the reigns of Abysia to make war upon the pretender he designed. If that isn't a delicious turn of events, I don't know what is.

Welcome back Executor.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

I should be able to get the turn in by tonight. Sorry, this weekend was short on time, so i'm clearing my turns in the order they're due.

Re: Troubling Times: Large EA CBM Game (Started)
 

Nah, that's okey. Three issues got together on this one turn anyway. Better like this, that way (hopefully) all the other turns can go ahead as planned.
