Re: IP Address Change
 

I expected the hydras to be a much bigger threat, but I guess thats what happens when you don't playtest!

The ideal anti-Van research for Sauromatia would have involved getting Quagmire, Foul Air, Shadowblast, and Leeching Darkness, but I was a fool to test the Van defenses before Poison Cloud (with Thistle Maces) and Raise Dead. As it stands, I could have holed up in the castle for a good ten turns by jamming the entrance with skeletons while my poisons ate away at you on the outside, but thats not fun for either player so I gambled on a last ditch attempt to toss you off my capital.

I also wish I had checked my board mail. I didn't even see your offers of peace. Doh!

Oh well, thats why I entered a noob game! Well played!

It says Lanka has played his turn on the link but when you connect to the server it shows him as not played.

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

I thought I could just use the timestamps and if the .2h files were newer than the .trn, then I could report the player as having played. Sorry the web page is not accurate.

But Lanka has not finished the turn according to the server:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
b3, Connections 0, No timer (quick host)
Arc+ Er+ Mav+ Mi+ Va+ La-
</pre><hr />

And the .2h file is newer:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
ls -lt b3
total 1640

</pre><hr />

I'm going to disable quickhost on the server for the next 8 hours at least, since I don't want Lanka to connect with a partially completed turn, and lose the rest of his moves.


Edit - done. <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
b3, Connections 0, No timer
Arc+ Er+ Mav+ Mi+ Va+ La-

I'll turn quickhost back on when La- turns to La+.

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

I've just played it, but the server seems to not take it to the next turn...

We now resume our regularly scheduled turn generation.

The Marverni nation hereby notifies Lanka ex post facto that it considers our ceasefire agreement to have expired, and we reassert our claims on the sacred Marverni lands of Gol Amrod.

Several monkeys on the grounds outside the castle surrendered, and were arrested under Marverni Law 876. ART 59 (c). These monkeys have confessed to:

* Invasion of Gol Amrod
* Murder of the Marverni Pretender (Note 1)
* Conspiracy to commit Extortion
* Invasion of Gol Amrod again
* Hunting for Virgins in Gol Amrod
* Conspiracy to commit Extortion again
* The use of forbidden Blood Magic
* Molestation of the Marverni Secretary to the Prophet
* Conspiracy to launch a war of aggression
* Being a Monkey on Marverni Fortress Grounds

(Note 1) He got better.

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

Such non-sense deserves punishment !!! Do you want everyone to know about the behavior of your secretary ? We can tell everyone what happened in so said sacred land !!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

Scouts have returned with these rumours of monkey/forest-man copulations involving boar bladders and demon buttocks. We are embarrassed for both nations, but forgive them their desecrations.

Refocus and be at ease, my friends.

Remember that. Refocus and be at ease.

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

Marverni demands evidence! We deny any improper behavior by our former Secretary to the Prophet.

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

Vanheim can attest to the truth of Malverni's allegations. One of one scouts returned with an eyewitness account.

One of the more lucid sections:
"Monkeys everywhere...demons...virgins...diabolical monkeys... the horror...the horror..."

Our support of in this matter is in no way related to Lanka's unprovoked attack on our peaceful lands, or our simultaneous perfectly justified strike against him.

All the monkeys must die!!!!

And the toads! I haven't even mentioned the toads!! Falling from the sky!!
