Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Gentlemen, Ladies, and Other Things of the world,
T'ien Ch'i apologizes for casting a spell, designed to stop me, that affects many of us. With the coming of the Kindly Ones, none of our blood mages are safe. Though it is surely a minor nuisance at best, I invite you to consider this action of T'ien Ch'i for what it is: an affront to us all. My forces, blood and otherwise, will continue to wage war against this self-righteous nation, and I invite you to join me. Marignon |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Can I get 24 hour extension? Looks like my wife giving birth today.
May need more time but prob not, will have to see. Tx and sorry for delay. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Good luck Snacktime. Hopefully everything goes very smoothly for mommy and baby.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
An extension? Because your wife is giving birth? Really?
Well, I suppose I can reluctantly grant that. Congratulations, man. Hope your new child brings you great joy. :) |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Hi all - I'm really sorry about my stales. My son was born Monday but needed to go to the NICU and is still in the hospital. He is doing great but it's been a whirlwind and we're still in and out of the hospital.
I actually turned in a turn even still, but apparently it was too late, and since I didn't realize it I staled a second time. I haven't even looked at the most recent turn file, I don't even know my current position. But I will try to pick it up. However, there may be some sense in grabbing a sub for me. Unfortunately I can't really help with that. Alternatively my situation should improve in a few days. But I don't know exactly how long. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Cheers Mate and Congrats!! We had a similar situation with our twins 4 years ago. My vote is either put game on hold until you are ready or get a sub...whichever you choose. The moment is too important for you to worry about the game. Of course I'm the new guy. But just my 2 cents.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I agree with mattyburn7. You've been a good player and very reliable with turns, and you're definitely welcome to continue in the game if you wish. Unless there are objections, I'm happy to delay the game for a few days if you think that will help. I hesitate to delay for more than 4 or 5 days, though, for fear that the game will lose momentum; I've seen that happen before. If you think you'll need longer than that, it may be best for me to look for a sub.
Or, if you think subbing out would be best, that's also fine. Whatever you prefer- these are definitely extenuating circumstances, but all for the best. :) No need to apologize for the stales (it's as much my fault for not noticing), and I hope your son does well. Let me know what you'd like me to do. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I've postponed the turn 24 hours, as I still haven't heard back (understandably) from snacktime. If I don't hear back from him after that, I'll start reluctantly looking for another sub.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Hey thanks guys. The great news is our son is coming home tomorrow from the hospital, all looks good. So I should be okay from here. I also sent in the current turn.
Cheers and thanks again. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I've extended the turn by 12 hours because Arcoscephale, who staled last turn, still hasn't submitted this one. He also hasn't logged onto the forums in 4 days.
Whollaborg, are you still with us? |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Still nothing from Arco. Should I start looking for a sub?
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
nice to see him still around.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Agreed, I'm glad the game can continue as is.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Can I get a last-minute six hour extension? Sorry, unexpected baby appointment (he's fine).
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Yep, turn extended.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I'll be away from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday, can i get an extension for that time?
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Yes, I will extend the next turn to not host until after Wednesday. I seem to be extending the turns an awful lot lately...
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Pythium will soon be defeated and Patala will have both the stone sword and the aegis. Yall lame arse pretenders with heads up their arse can have fun dealing with that! :)
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Thats not true as anyone who has scouts can tell you. I lost about 3000g and 120 gems in that last engagement. What did you lose? 150g?
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I postponed the game once again so Agartha won't stall.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Apologies, having to use internet cafes at preset and thought my turn was in.
HD |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Carpetbagger,
Was that a misclick? |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Did Pythium set himself AI? Why is he not listed as one of the nations still in the game by llamaserver?
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Oh, so that's what Immaculate meant by his last post. I'll PM him, but even if he did, there's nothing we can do. I'd be very reluctant to roll the game back.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
There's no reason to roll the game back. Or to find a sub. Carpetbagger is an INCREDIBLY good player with MANY tricks and unexpected tactics and strategies but ultimately he had much fewer resources to make use of than i did.
He made a last ditch break-out and it failed. Its mop-up now. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I require a 48 hour extension on next turn (turn 66).
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Can I get a 12-hour extension on this current turn? Given Immaculate's request shouldn't make for more delay.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Extensions granted. This was a harsh turn for me anyway, I could use the extra time to plan.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Sorry, need some extra time on this turn, maybe even 24 hours. hope groundworm sees this. unexpectedly busy weekend.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
He saw it. :) Extension granted.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Slobby (Gath) PM'ed me that he's out of town, and requested an extension. Turn extended until Wednesday morning.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I feel that i am in a position, as we all are, of either acting against Marrignon or watching him win, so i hereby break my NAP with Mary. Hopefully its not too late.
If anyone else feels that their scales build (which includes growth) and substantial armies and gem income, as well as well established blood economy and HUGE dominion are a big threat, i encourage you to join me. Either way, good hunting and have fun. Immac. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Termination of NAP with Patala is noted. But I'll note that Patala is still bigger than I am, with a larger gem income + Maelstrom up, larger armies than mine, and a similarly thriving blood economy with numerous Lanka blood summons. He's also got numerous Grendelkin and artifacts, including the Chalice.
Victory is very much open for grabs at this point, and I fear that siding with Patala at this point may be handing the game to them. Either way, Immac, looking forward to some excellent fights. :) |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
maelstorm was dispellled.... :(
and no- not larger armies. unless you compare one wolf as being equivalent to one marrignon knight... but yeah, i think i see how this is going to go vis-a-vis the endgame and i wish i had taken your growth scales. And i think i waited too long to break the NAP- wasn't sure about some other borders... and now... well, i suspect its too late. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
please extend 36h.
i. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Done.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
48h turns at turn 73 is WAY too short- turns should be more like 72 or even 96. I request turn extension please.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I need a 56h extension. Sorry- work related meetings and a house move.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Turn extended, and turns are now 72h.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Sorry about all this- its a new job and a new apartment and things are hectic. I really appreciate your patience.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
OMG Groundworm!!!!!!!!! THATS SO MUCH CAVALRY AND BIG SCs!!!!!!!
Unless you play really stupidly- i think you have this game won. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Hey- i realize i am asking for lots of extensions lately and to be honest i am finding it hard to find enough time to fulfill my gaming comittments (largely due to a new job).
I'm also looking to offload some of my gaming commitments and have asked for a sub for either this game or another. Hopefully when that happens either i can focus more on this one game and not keep having to ask for extensions or the new player will have more time than me. For now though, with business travel tomorrow and again on sunday, things are tough. Anyway, if you know anyone who might be willing to sub for patala in either this game or the other, check this out: Quote:
Thanks for your understanding. I feel bad for having to reduce my gaming time; i didn't realize i would have to find new employment when i signed up for this game and couldn't have known that my time would be so stretched. This sure is fun though. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Immaculate, I think I liked your comment about your cavalry more than I liked the one about you needing a sub. :)
But, of course, it's understandable- life comes first. I'll delay the game as we try to find a sub for you. If, in the meantime, you are able to play a turn now and then, that would certainly be appreciated. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
This is very frustrating. I knew I wasn't going to be able to take my turn until later tonight, so I postponed hosting. Llamaserver says that hosting was indeed postponed... only it wasn't. The turn just hosted, and I staled.
Well, hopefully that won't be too devastating, but it sure is annoying. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Tch, arcane nexus? Ready or not Mari here Gath comes ... NAP cancelled
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
I'm an (extremely) minor player at this point, but what's going on? Are we waiting on a sub for Patala?
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Partly yes. Patala hasn't had a chance to do his current turn yet, as he's got a lot going on. I've also been pretty busy recently, and haven't had much time to get my turns in (which, by now, take a long time). Thus, I've been postponing hosting. I probably should have said something before now, my apologies.
|
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
Sorry- i have a report due tomorrow for work and another due for a pharmacology journal. I also had family visiting. I've played my small game turns but the larger ones (this one and another) i was unable to attend to.
i. |
Re: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!
24hr extension please
thanks |
