Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

to be honest with 48 hrs a turn its hard to stall unless there is some rl reason

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

You know, come to think of it, my dark templars should just feed on one another. That seems to be fitting in with Late Ulmish backstory. Sacrifice one or two a turn so that the other 30 might live! And as they become undead as a result they stop needing food.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Yeah, seems I need the gold now.

Everyone's already ganging up on me :P

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

that tends to happen with LA Ermor and Ryleh.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Yeah, people tend not to like being drowned in thousands of undead chaff later in the game. Look at it this way, it'll save you having to do all that late game micromanagement. :)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Well, I just meant that last turn, the Niefel Giants were the last to take their turn...and they are going to be the last to take their turn this time. I just think that anyone who is last to take a turn, should be the first to take the next turn, just moves things along quicker.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

did he play his last turn or just stale?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

He played his last turn, he just didn't wait the 30 seconds needed to play his next one.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Well, he did take a lot of time playing his last turn. So I think his turns just take a lot of time. Perhaps his empire is huge. Dunno. My turns are taking less and less time :).

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

his empire is getting smaller turn by turn.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Yea fair enough, I agree with that. I was just saying that he might have some rl reasons, (and even if he does, you probably are still right since it doesnt take that long to take the next turn and he's gonna have more time doing some other stuff till the end of that turn comes)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

I'm having trouble connecting to this game now, every time I try, the game freezes. I don't have that problem when connecting to the other game I am playing on Gandalfs server. Anyone else?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Same here, but this is the only game on Gandalfs server I play.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

+ 1 but the other games are fine

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

I'm having this problem, and it was around for awhile in the other Newb game. The workaround seems to be to wait for it to hang, forcibly shut it down, and try again. You might need 2 or 3 tries but it should work.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

This happened on NewbsGoneWild and was fixed by gandalf simply restarting the server. Sent an email requesting that.

As a side effect, the turn timer will get reset back to 48 hours.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

same...

I haven't managed to connect after 5-6 tries and I have to go. I might not get another chance to do dom turns for the next 36 hours... Can we extend the turn so I can resolve this issue?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Well, torgon still hasn't submitted his turn. And the timer is extended by at least 48 hours already since gandalf restarted the server. That didn't, however, fix the problem this time. Gandalf is looking into it.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Problem solved, the timer is reset to 48 hours as of now.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Is the nief player still playing?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Admin should probably check for pulse.

Did I hear someone mention that Niefel is losing somewhere? *sigh*

Btw, thanks for the excellent admin work iRFNA.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Hmm, he last logged on to the forums 3 days ago. Not a good sign. He may be suffering some set backs at the moment, but he's anything but defeated. Perhaps pythium's hydras were sufficient to break his morale, though...

Did a little detective work, and he's still active in NeophytesDelight. Or at least he has a turn for that game currently submitted.

I'll give him more time to reappear before doing anything drastic.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

In my limited experience, hydras are an excellent way to break player morale. Gogo mobile regenerating clouds of poison!

Also echoing Finalgenesis' comment, great work on the admin'ing iRFNA

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Most of the credit goes to gandalf, my job is to pester him. Also, your damn mind hunting is more of a morale breaker than hydras. :(

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

I wasn't referring to you there, I was talking about Vanheim. You've pretty much got my hydra's number to the point where I'm not even bringing them to the front anymore.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

There's a potential problem for people who haven't gotten any versions of the CBM before 1.82 that had the EDM integrated and haven't downloaded the EDM. CBM 1.82 doesn't include the graphics for the integrated EDM mod, so summoning those late game dudes is gonna make you all crashy. If you haven't gotten any CBMs from 1.7-1.81, grab the EDM just in case! You don't need to activate it or anything, just put it in your mods dir so you get the sprites.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

still no sign of Torgon?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Nope. I hate the waiting, but I'm going to give him until tomorrow to show up, then start looking for a sub.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

yea probably the best think to do ,still if he wanted to take his turn he would have shown by now.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Attack of the dead is an apt name for year 2. Ermor certainly has enough of them. Although without your PoD I'm pretty sure I could cut through them all. Never the less, I'm glad I didn't try and fight you straight up. Which of the dogs will kill the bear first?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Hmm, I wonder where all those demon monkeys have gone? Hiding inside your fort perhaps?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Well, torgon hasn't given up quite yet...

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

So far I lost most of my demon monkeys to indies actually. I tried a bless that worked pretty well in sp games. Somehow not so much in mp. Guess I ****ed up somewhere.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Don't forget to do your turn, Silence0!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Where is your sieging army now Admiral Aorta?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

why, are the fiery folks fertilizing the fields of Lanka with demonic monkey additive?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

My army haven't gone far, they'll be back soon enough. And yes, demon blood is very good for fertilising crops. :)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Toorgonnnnnnn

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Toooorgoooonnnnnnnnnn

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Toooorgooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooonnnnnnnnnn

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Little known fact: Torgon is actually a galapagos giant tortoise.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Has anyone talked to him?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

I sent him a PM, but it has yet to get a response. I'll probably have to look for a sub soon unless something changes.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

yep:S

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Boo to slow players. Yea, I went there, Boo!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Well he was logged onto forum sometime midway through that last game turn.

I presume he staled that turn, as there's no communication/post from when he's logged on nor taking his turn, and this isn't the first time. I'd say it looks pretty bad and we should just shoot for a sub if there's no reply to your pm for another day.

I really am tired of playing coy and playing polite to players obviously lacking a molecule of consideration, I seem to run into 1 or 2 every MP game. Past a certain point its up to the possible culprit to prove their innocence, not us having to play PC until proven beyond a doubt.

So Torgon, prove me wrong! You're not an ahole lacking a single molecule of consideration, are you?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Thats a bit harsh, but yea I'd say go for the sub or we might keep on seeing 48 hrs turns + him staling.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Na not really, that's 13 other human players he's holding up, what's harsh is him not taking even 15 seconds to make a post or pm admin (even if just to say he still plans to play but is busy with real life stuff, rather then leave us hanging and in limbo) especially when his profile showed him to be logged onto forum last turn, it's been ongoing for 3-4 turns and we have made polite comments and inquiries to no avail.

Why won't some people spend even 15 seconds to clarify the situation for other human players? Because they are aholes without a molecule of consideration, in fact I consider them going out of their way to ruin a game, these aholes should never be allowed in any MP game and I make an effort to look through all the new recruiting MP games and pm admin if I notice known scums to make sure these scums don't make it into a game where normal players try to have fun and infect it.

Now we haven't gotten to the point where Torgon is confirmed to be one of these creatures, from my past experience it's only 50/50 at this juncture, and at this point it's up to him to prove he's not one of them, not for us to play nice and coddle him.

All I ask is 1 molecule of consideration of players joining a MP game, but unfortunately the anonymous nature of internet brings out the true scumbag hiding just beneath the skin of some folks.

I will end by quoting our excellent host iRFNA to put things in perspective:
"If you want to quit mid-game for whatever reason, please allow me to find a sub! Just post and say you're done! Having someone stale out or spontaneously go AI really sucks! It's ok if you're losing and want to quit, just say so in this thread and let me find a sub!!!"

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Well Im still new to thes forum and I guess thats why I have bigger thrust in people. Mb he couldn't PM or sth. If he actually posted some other comment somewhere I'd agree with you.:)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Well, I'm not going to have niefelheim stale another turn. If it starts to look like he's gonna do it again, which it already is starting to, then I'm going to have gandalf kill the timer and find a sub. I'll still give him today to reappear.
