Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
That's really ominous
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I thought you said the timer was turned off? It seems to be on 48 hours. Also, when I connect to the server the game hangs and I have to close it with the task manager, but when I try again it's fine.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I have that problem too! And I emailed gandalf about it, it'll happen when he does it. I don't actually have direct control of the server, it's just that gandalf is usually so insanely prompt that my requests are answered within minutes.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I dunno about Ryleh, but I'm willing to declare a truce so that our newest sub (thanks btw!) can get his feet under him. The situation otherwise would be fairly grim. Also short, unless I drastically miss my guess, which is just no fun at all.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
It really doesn't matter, almost no research has been done, the pretender is a joke, the comanders that have been hired are among the worst independents have to offer...I have almost no mages...its truly amazing.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Ouch. Well, it's a newb game. On the bright side, I was considering starting up another newb game somewhat soon, so maybe you could hop on that later for a full game instead of a massacre.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Eh, I'm okay trying to fend off the attacks until I am massacred, lol. But, there is no reason to let off of me to give me a chance, the nation has fallen way too far behind to make that worthwile.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Well, I'll continue to massacre you then. :D I'm surprised that the position was that hopeless, but then it is a newb game. That's one disadvantage to having graphs off, you overestimate your opponent. On the other hand, they may overestimate you.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Alright, just thought I'd make the offer. I subbed into a fairly hopeless position over in another game recently, so I know the feeling. Also, yes, I'm a bit surprised at just how hopeless it is as well, though the mind hunting there at the end might have a bit to do with the commander selection, anyway.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I've been having the hanging thing upon login happen as well, every time. I found that my firewall was interfering, which is unusual, since it hadn't been before.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I wonder if it's been caused by the recent patch? I can't think of anything else and it seems to be happening to quite a few people. Have any other multiplayer games had the same thing?
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I was having that problem until last night at some point; it works fine for me now. Very odd.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Sometimes it can be at the server end. Doing a traceroute (or in windows its a tracert) can be helpful in pointing out if things are a problem at your end, the other end, or any of the connections in-between.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Ok, once everyone shows that they are alive, I'll have gandalf put the timer back on. No idea who all might have been affected beyond NaivePhilosopher, although there is that massive cyclone at australia going on too...
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Aha, so you survived the snowpocalypse. :)
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Definitely alive. ^_^
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I'm still alive. It hasn't been overly fun out here, but from what I can gather it was much worse further west, so at least there's that.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
East Kansas was hit pretty hard, it's damn cold. But, got two days off work!! Woot.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
still kickin for a little bit longer.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Ok, since the last 2 posts are the last 2 people without a turn in, I'm gonna guess everyone is ready to go back to 48 hour hosting.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Sounds good.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
24 hours would be good too.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
24 hours would not be good.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I think 24 hours would be a bit tight, since we've got people in different timezones.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Okay, just throwing that out there :)
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
48 hours for me, sometimes I have to work really long days and I could easily forget. :(
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
If everyone just tries to submit really fast, we can essentially have 24 hour host! Sorta.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Really sorry about the stalling, I'm an idiot, won't happen again. New to MP games. Sorry.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Haha, it's fine.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Hey, every time I connect to the server my dom3 crashes and hangs. Anyone else having trouble or just me?
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
I've had that prob off and on and others have posted about it... When it happens, I just crash dom and try again. Usually works the 2nd time.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Yea, usually works the second time for me. rarely do I have to try a third time and never a fourth.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Gift of health eh, Bogarus? I wonder if that's a prelude to tartarians.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Maybe :)
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
This is pretty horrible, I still haven't been able to log in despite many attempts. I don't want to stale again, if nothing can be done then I guess a sub would be able to continue.
I'm perplexed and upset. :( |
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
doh, I'm really not sure what to do about this
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
freepower, try now. Gandalf reset the server, and now I no longer experience The Problemâ„¢
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Thanks, yeah, all is well, although the turn I missed may turn out to have been essential for the clash ahead. :(
On the other hand, excited for future developments! :D |
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Ya, that stale sucks. Sorry about that, I should have tried to have gandalf restart the server earlier.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
No, it's no problem, I was probably a little late voicing my concerns. And it gives me a great excuse if I lose the game. :P
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Huh, gift of health got dispelled quickly.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Hahaha, Talking about gift of health and Tarts...I literally only have level 2 research in two schools of magic, and 0 in everything else, And no mages. But I have an army of indy H1 priest. Bring it, *****es!
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
That would probably explain the current state of Vanheim. ;) Krpeters seemed to like using independents. Perhaps a bit too much.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Turn 45 is up! My triumph is soon at hand!

I don't think I like the look of all those demons Bogarus has there.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
We cower in fear before the mighty Vanheim-in. Ims? ianians? Something of that nature. Resuming cowering.
Edit: Very neatly arranged force. At least they're organized demons. |
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
At least he hasn't totally got the hang of communions yet, managed to clear out 11 slaves by surviving a few turns in another battle.
You can see why staling a few turns ago was bad, eh? :P |
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
Yeah, I suck bad at communions. Probably because this is my first game I actually used them :D. Also dominion with drain might have helped my slaves build up fatigue extremely fast.
|
Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Zeal is its own excuse]
You dare strike at The Emperor, Genestealers? Did you think I didn't know what you were, as if you "hydras" weren't obvious enough!
