Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

I've added 72 hours to the timer to give it one last try to find a sub. If we can't find one in that time we might have to call the game.

Or, we can save some time and you can all declare Yomi the victor now. ;)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

I tell you what, since I'm down to one game at the moment, I can take over Abysia if you still need or want someone.

But I have a big project going through the weekend, so I wouldn't be able to do a turn until early next week.

So let me know if a sub is still wanted (if people are losing or have already lost interest, I probably shouldn't bother), and if waiting another 5-6 days to get going again is OK :)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Twobits is definitely a good sub for Aby. Might even be able to wrap up the win in a few turns! I'm good with waiting another 6 days for a player as good as twobits.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Waiting is fine for me - I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Thanks TwoBits! I'm willing to wait as well.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Cool. Can whoever is in charge shoot me a PM, and I'll send back my email, and we can get things rolling! I wont be able to do the turn until after the weekend, but I can take a look now, and get an idea what the situation is :)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

TwoBits, I add another 72 hours to the timer, but just let me know if you need more time. Many thanks for stepping in, and welcome to the game!

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

OK, I got the turn. Damn, what the hell have I gotten myself into? Is it too late to run away? ;)

So what's the diplomatic situation like? Am I pretty much at war with everyone? And if so, is that recent like I think (I'm wondering if that's what pushed the previous Abysia player over the edge :cold: )?

Anyhow, like I said, I'm busy this weekend, so I'll need a few more days. But then, prepare to burn! :D

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Thank you for take care of aby.

Wish you good luck and get the victory.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

All right. I've finished the big project, and have had a bit of time to look at the game - once again, what the hell have I gotten myself into? ;)

Um, I think I'll be able to get the next turn in in the not too distant future, but could I have 12 extra hours added to the clock, just to make sure there are no problems?

And if anyone has any diplomatic information or the like to impart, please don't hesitate to PM me here or at the alternate forum.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

12 hours added per request

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

'Fraid for some reason dominions is just refusing to run at the moment, so it looks like R'yleh is going to need a sub until this all gets worked out.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

BlanketThief, sorry to hear you're having trouble. Are you trying to find a sub right now?

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Yup, sounds like a friend is willing to take over all of my games for me so that's convenient. Just need him to get back to me with his email so the admins can do their thing.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Great. I added another 24 hours to give your sub a chance to get the turn in, let me know if you need more.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Wow. I feel like I've just taken a big bite from a huge #@%&-sandwich :doh:

I've got the sneaking suspicion (but zero evidence to back this up, so just my feeling) that the last Abysia player, seeing this impending uber-gank on the horizon, wisely found other things to do ;)

Well, I'm just a damn sub, but what the hell. In the immortal and infamous words of blowhard jocks and drunken 'bull in a china shop' presidents everywhere, I say "BRING IT ON!" :mad:

Yep, you all might bring me down, but this nut is not going to crack easy. I'll see that a few of you at least, choke on it before I'm gone. Let the fun begin, and the world burn... :p

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Gentlemen,

We've had some delays of late for various reasons, so I hate to slow things down but I need to add 24 to the timer to deal with a RL issue AND have enough time to give this next turn the consideration that its due. I apologize for the delay.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

And I apologize for my drunken ranting in the post above ;)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Hehe, we all need a wake up call. THE BIG BAD ABY IS OUT TO GET US ALL!! :p

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Marverni, we apologize for the for the unfortunate encounter. A most costly battle or us both it seems.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Hi, just a heads up. I'll be out of the country from Aug 18 to 22, so I probably will not be able to do my turn during that time. I'll try to complete my turn before I leave. Thanks!

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

So, it looks like the timer has been bumped at least twice this turn. Quitti are you getting requests for time extensions?

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

24 hours added

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

5 out of 10 players stalled last round. Oceania's been gone for 8-9 turns now (but they don't have much left). R'lyeh and Micltlan the last 4-5.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Quitti's the official admin, so I'll defer to him. But here's what I know: I have heard from Mictlan, and he does not intend to return. R'lyeh's sub apparently had a problem (?), but Blanket_thief is back and should play the current turn - BT please confirm.

Hopefully the TC and Marverni stales were incidental and not an indication of future intent? Guys, what can you tell us?

I know the TC player does not (apparently) frequent this forum much, but can be reached on IRC (which I do not frequent), perhaps someone can inquire with him?

@ TC, I also sent you an in game message last turn. Our deal re: 116 is hereby revoked as it was never fully commsumated on your part. Yomi shall now hold this province against the firery hordes of Abysia!

@ Nief your assault on our ally Ulm has been witnessed, seriously?

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Returning from Inferno.

I am about done anyways, FWIW.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Sorry about my stale. I'm still playing, I just lost track of time that turn. My fault, won't happen again I hope.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Ah. Thanks

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Well, this is mildly disappointing. The 'Doomsayer' hero for EA Ryleh has several of his weapons as undefined in this version, making him go from cute gimmick to more chaff.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Sorry about my stale alst turn; I got back late from an out of town trip.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Hello all!

I'm the long gone Oceania player of this game (can't believe I'm still in this). Sorry about the stalling on my part, but I was unfortunately injured in that horrible explosion that happened in Oslo, Norway this summer (I'm ok now by the way). So I've had my mind elsewhere to be honest, and didn't even think about this until today. I guess I might as well be set to AI at this point, can't imagine that there's much left.

Anyway, looking forward to playing more Dominions, and good luck with the game :)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

nerozero, thanks for checking in, and I'm glad to hear that you are OK.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Sorry about the recent staling and all of that. My current schedule sorta has me missing both the reminder and deadline. I'm going to put a bit of effort looking for a sub.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Sorry about the stale, I sent in my turn I think a full 12 hours before the deadline. Llamaserver only replied after the turn hosted already, and it reflected that I sent in the wrong turn number.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Going to be out of town for the next few days, I'm not sure if I'll have internet access and whatnot so I might need a delay on the next turn.

Edit: That is, I should be able to get this turn in a few hours, but y'know.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Eh, doesn't seem like I can edit my prior message, but a bit of an issue popped up and the trip is delayed until thanksgiving, so no delay required.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Sorry for the delay folks, I've got family in from out of town and I've had little/no time for play the current turn.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Time to specify the VC - from Quitti's initial post:

"Hold 1/3 caps (7 caps for 16+3) for 3 consecutive turns"

I've never been exactly clear on what exactly defines 'holding a cap' in these self regulated VC games. I presume it at least means being in control of (and not just besieging) the capitol's fortress, if there is one. Or does just controlling the province fulfill the VC (no need to actually storm the fortress - although that just seems too easy)?

If control of the capitol's fortress is necessary, is it also necessary to control the province as well? Or is holding the fort alone enough to count as control?

In games with established VP conditions (meaning VP locations built into the map), I'm pretty sure just controlling the cap fortress is enough to claim the VP.

Just wondering, cause, well, it's gettin' about that time... ;)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Hey Guys, I've postponed the next host for about a week at LoloMo's request so he can celebrate his honnymoon.

TwoBits, re your VP question, holding the fort alone is enough to count as control. :)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

More specifically, holding the fort is *necessary* and *sufficient* to control the capital. The province itself doesn't matter for purposes of winning.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Squirrelloid, you are indeed correct, my answer was imprecise. Thanks for the correction. :)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Fraid I have to sub out for at most 2-3 weeks, at least until I get settled into the new house or get over my illness, whichever comes first.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Hope you feel better soon BT. R'lyeh's big enough to play spoiler (at least). Added 24 hours to timer to see if a sub can be found. After that, what do you folks say, continue?

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Only three people did turns, after having had more than a week. Is this game still going?

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

I'm still in! Sorry for the stale, was supposed to get back in time to finish and send in the turn last night, but got delayed.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Just finished moving all the boxes/furniture to the new place, still need to unpack but I can get my turns in.

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

Hey guys.

I'm sorry for the stales. I'm borrowing some computer time as I have a problem with my box that I will not be able to address/replace anytime soon.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I will not be able to continue. I will send TwoBits the password so that the game may continue if that is what you all decide to do.

Aethyr

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

OK, I've got the password from Aethyr (sorry you have to go, and good luck with your computer issues!), and have added 24 hours to the clock, and can add more time if/as necessary.

Is it necessary? Abysia now controls 7 caps (its own, Arco, Marverni, Marignon, C'tis, Kailasa, and Hinnom). Ulm has me under siege at C'tis' old cap, but I'm fairly confident I can beat off any attempt to storm the place. I'd be interested to run one more turn just to find out though :)

Other than that, I'm fortifying all those caps, I'm still cranking out tarts and other SCs (Astral Corruption is a b*%#h, but Storm Demons make excellent bodyguards against Lesser and regular Horrors), I've got the Chalice, and 3 S5+ commanders able to wish it back if necessary. And now I've got Arcane Nexus up, just in case.

So what do folks think about continuing or calling it?

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

I'm am for conceding the game to Aby.

But of course, if people really want to continue, and we find an eager sub for Yomi, I am willing to fight on as well! I just can't fight Aby all by my lonesome :-)

Re: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.
 

My position is the same as Lolomos basically
