"I do apologize for not informing you in advance"

accepted

" Consider it a newbie's mistake."

NP

"It never occurrred to me about getting a sub."

That was not really a serious suggestion.

"I am not put out at all."

Good.

Actually it was a failure to recognise the game position. Someone should have tried to bring you into their alliance.
I had no idea that domninion push was so strong or that end game spells were so powerful & unpleasant.

I am now uncomfortable with my position as I cannot conceivably win so I am kingmaking between the other two which is unfortunate.
I am also attaking Aku atm as I can hurt him while Boron for all his protestations of earmoe weakness seems very hard to hurt.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

I am leaving Dominions II indefinitely for reasons I will not reiterate. Since I am hosting your game, I complete this task, but I will not be present to receive any complaints or problems regarding people disappearing, or the server going down. Should the server go down, I will probably not notice, and will not be around to have this brought to my attention. In such a case, you will probably have to rule upon a winner based on who survived. If somebody wishes to take over hosting, he should inform me within a day or two, and I will tar.gz all the files and make them available for downloading.

Otherwise, I am gone. Best of luck to you all.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

I'll take over the hosting for this and other games Norfleet was running if no one who is already involved with the game is able/willing to handle it.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Thank you for notifying us Norfleet.

And Sheap we would be very thankful if you took over the hosting for us and thank you in advance.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

I have tarred the game and placed it up for Sheap to download. He will inform you of the new hosting arrangements. Thanks for your cooperation.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

No problem Norfleet. And thank you for having us on your server to begin with.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

No problem. Like I said, I was willing to keep it up for you, but I just wanted to inform you that I wouldn't be around to troubleshoot problems with anything that approximated former promptness.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Here is the reason for Norfleet's leaving.

Enough said.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

I haven't time to put the new game up until later this evening, it will probably be 3-4 hours from now.

I'll post the server info then.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Can someone tell a poor clueless sheap what map this game was being played on? And what the turn generation rule was? (Quickhost? 24h quickhost? 48h quickhost? ...)

I want to make sure I have it properly set up before I put the host information public.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

OK I went through the forum and decided on this:

server: benatar.snurgle.org (be sure of spelling if you can't connect at first)
Port: 2001
Settings: 24h quickhost

If it's wrong (or not working) someone let me know right away http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

It works just fine and you got it right, its 24hr quickhost. Thank you.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Sheap thank you for hosting but you can kill this game. The way the game is going it is going to be a long drawn out stalemate and the three of us remaining in the game decided it is best to end it.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Well, that was fast. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'll shut the server down now, but I'll save the files for a few days in case you guys reconsider.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

thnx you can delete http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
we won't reconsider because aku + pickles gave me all their gems and we tried some wishes out .
so there is no sense in finishing it and we will never reconsider http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Well the game was suppose to be a learning experience(first mp game for all of us) and it certainly was. We estimated that the game will probably Last another 50+ turns of a crazy war of attrition going by who will Last the longest. All the land in the whole world is devastated with majority of the populations below 5k. The three of us talked and decided it would be best to call it a draw. Basically thats why we decided to end it.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Yeah I gave Boron 500 astral pearls to test some wishes out lol. And I ended so many turns without doing them that all my blood hunt mages probably cant collect anymore blood slaves lol. So no need to save the files. Thank you again Sheap for hosting for us.
