Since you said Pan is taken then I will wait for another mp game. I am signed up for a team game thats going to start soon so I will have 3 mp games running. If I do join a 4th I want it to be with using Pangaea.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

only arco and pan left to do their turns

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

No Problemo.
By the way, Cohen is looking for a sub in a game of his for Abyssa. You're an Abyssa pro (and I have never played it). Maybe I could give you the information, because he sent it to me Last minute before he left for a trip... and after I said that I probably should not sub for him because I know little about those red lava boys. Cohen also mentioned that THE PANTHER might be interested. I snuck a peek at the game, and it looks kinda crazy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

well this game is the first time with abysia in mp for me

i also dont want to be bogged down with a lot of games, i want to keep it at around 3 and im signed up for my 3rd(the team game)

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Ok cool.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Server is back up and I talked to Klatu and I think we figured out why it was crashing. So if it doesnt crash again than we fixed it.

I figured it out from Last night I was trying out SP and went to check on a MP game then my SP game would say cant make temp file or something and that is the error that Klatu gets when it hosts. So when Klatu opens up another game on the computer it is messing up the server from hosting. So he will play other games on a different computer for now on. Well thats the theory at least we will see if it works on the next hosting.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Did you accidently change the host schedule? I was the first (and only so far) to move in the current turn and there is only 10 hours left before next hosting.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Yup - Looks like the hosting time was shortened.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Report from the war front:

It looks like the FEDID CARRION FILTH has built an enormous army in Machaka territory and is ready to strike this next turn. The loyal armies of the GREAT SPIDER LORD have had time to prepare, however. And, the GREAT SPIDER LORD doubts that the undead smear will succeed in breaking down the walls of our great cities. No doubt the pitiful vampire queen is starving for blood and is VERY FRUSTRATED that her war of aggression has not gained her much ground. In fact, the GREAT SPIDER LORD has no doubt that Man to the North of Machaka and Abyssa to the West have grown in strength and are eager to invade both Machaka and the vampire queen’s homeland. And, LORD PICKLES in the Western Sea is certainly pleased that the vampire queen is squandering her perfect opportunity to direct her aggressive tendencies toward the water territories.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

I will tell Klatu. Wrong key must of been hit when typing in the hosting hours or something. I will give him a call to fix it.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

I talked to Klatu. He will set it to 24 hours in 15 minutes or so when he gets to the server.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Thanks, Aku. I appreciate your dealing with this stuff.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

I just checked and it is now 24 hours to next host. Good job, Klatu and Aku.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Dont worry Im not interfering in your war because I want to see who wins on their own lol. My other mp game I got thrown into a war at around turn 10 so I am enjoying the early peace time and it doesn't look like anyone is getting ready to invade me either so things look good.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/mad.gif[/img] <Frothing at the mouth> BAH!!!! You're not fooling the GREAT SPIDER LORD, Lava-Boy. You're a vulture biding your time and waiting to get your chance to pick some meat off the bones. All according to my plan. <Froth, froth... cough> [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

The Great and Most Powerful Ruler of All, the King of Flames, the holy dragon Smaug himself is going to start his own little war in approximately two turns.

A certain annoying pretender, who stalled the game for several early turns and was summarily booted, has left behind a stupid enemy composed of Chinese weaklings. That worthless pretender does not deserve to survive unbloodied in the Land of Karan.

My advisors tell me that the stupid Chinese enemy has somehow managed to build a powerful force of celestial soldiers. However, we of the mightiest race of them all, the one-and-only true god of Pythium, knows that those celestial soldiers will melt before our might.

Even knowing that simple fact, the Great and Powerful dragon Smaug will offer the nearest neighbors (such as the peaceful sailors of Vanheim and the fliers of Caelum) the golden opportunity to carve into this wimpy Chinese empire.

However, the Great Dragon Smaug does hereby claim the capital of the Chinese, plus all five provinces adjacent to said capital as his own. This even includes the watery province numbered 142. Let it be known to all parties concerned that Smaug will fight bitterly for these claimed provinces.

But Smaug has grwqaciously allowed the lesser nations of Vanheim and Caelum to fight among themselves over the other provinces which will soon no longer be owned by the weaklings of T'ien Ch'i.

Smaug does reserve the right to also annex a couple more provinces in the far NW corner of the map if the battle for the T'ien Ch'i capital goes well and quickly. However, due to the peaceful nature of his neighbors, Smaug hereby promises that he will not take those provinces if said neighbors manage to grab them before before Smaug gets around to annexing them.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

The GREAT SPIDER LORD's extensive spy network recently relayed information that T'ien Ch'i scientists discovered a way to make their computers sentient. But, they were too clever for their own good, and the computers eventually killed their creators and took over the T'ien Ch'i government. The GREAT SPIDER LORD hereby gives all pretender-god-pretenders leave to destroy the computer driven heretics. Go forth and do your duty! <cough, cough>

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Greetings messenger of Smaug

You are welcome to the pathetic capital of T'ien Ch'i, but beyond the 5 neighbouring provinces (and the swamps surrounding 142), I am instructed to inform you that the peaceful nation of Vanheim claims the North.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Alright as I said earlier tomorow will be the Last day that my brother and I will be in town. We will be on vacation for ten days. I have set up a plan so that my brother and I can take our turns. However there is two big ifs on if this will succeed. The first is assuming that as long as my brother and I use the same computer even if it is a diffrent computer then the one we have been using so far to submit our turns our turn orders will be accepted. The second is that I am not sure there will be a way to access the internet at one place we will be at for six of the ten days of the trip. Obviously the simple answer would be for someone to take our turns on those days which would work fine for my brother but, I made the stupid mistake of using a password that I have used for a lot of other stuff. So what do you all want me to do? Sorry about this.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

A backup person to sub would be ideal for the times you cant do your turn. About the pw thing, its not like we know other stuff you use it for.

The ideal sub would be someone who checks the game a lot and will do the turn if you havent and it is going to host soon. I am sure a bunch of us from this group can do it and you can trust. I could do it myself if you cant get anyone but I don't have any experience with Caelum or Arco.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

It looks like the server crashed again but its back up. I will talk to Klatu and see what went wrong.

So new turn is now up.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

MUHAHAHAHA i have my Pretender back!! what turn is it? omg, I don't feel like such a reject in this game anymore! (not that my Pretender is as powerful as I wish he was, having lost some magic, but damn it feels good to have him back again.. plus I can actually forge useful stuff again (Midguard doesn't have any stupid mages with paths higher then 2 unless you get really lucky with randoms) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

grats
yeah midguard is cool because of the cheap skinshifters and the völvas/galderman
but i miss the fay boars for supply and the gorgeous dwarfen smith which standard van has but it has more expensive skinshifters though and no galdermans/völvas lol

so vanheim is a big mystery for me cause i would need both the fay boars and the cheap skinshifters http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

just arco and machaka left to do turns for it to host

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

turn 37 is up

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

The GREAT SPIDER LORD has taken his turn. If the server has not freaked out, we should be into a new turn.

Signed:

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

It did freak out again but its back up. I will talk to Klatu again tonight to try to fix it because we had it working for over a week without crashing.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

only lex left for his turn

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Server freaking out?

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

server seems to be down again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

only vanheim and machaka left for turns

ill talk to klatu and see whats going on, we thought we fixed it but trying to figure out why it keeps doing this stupid temp file error

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

It's me, Klatu, your server host. Really been grappeling with the crash issue. Tried many things, but still no good.

I have a drastic solution i can try, but it will mean the server would be down for 2 days.

Please post your preference:
1. Leave it alone, I can live with the crashing
or
2. Go ahaead give it a shot, I'll amuse myself in other ways for 2 days.

Klatu

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

i vote for 1. Leave it alone, I can live with the crashing

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

The GREAT SPIDER LORD does not care either way. The crashing is not a great annoyance (but it might be for Klatu who has to fix it every so often).

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Beep Beep Beep Beep…. This is MACHAKA NATIONAL NEWS…. Beep Beep Beep Beep <typewriters heard in the background>

This just in from the front lines of the Pangean War of Aggression.

A huge undead army in excess of 300 fetid scum has stormed the walls of the Machaka Capitol. The front gates were torn down easily, and it is anticipated that by the time of this report, the undead beasts will be throwing themselves against the BRAVE MACHAKA WARRIORS. The wise voodoo priests are doing their best at banishing the undead hoard by the bucket-fulls and the keen witch doctors are valiantly unraveling the magic ties binding the undead monsters together. Holy Fires are also being employed in haste to burn mindless creatures before they get far into the walls of the capitol city.

This reporter fears that this battle will break the back of the GREAT MACHAKA PEOPLE who have fought so bravely to withstand the undead tidal wave long enough so that the other great dominions of the world could prepare their defenses.

Luckily, THE GREAT SPIDER LORD was reportedly able to escape the city in the nick of time to give his people some lingering hope. Unfortunately, he was unable to comment on the war for this report due to an abundance of froth sputtering out of his mouth. But, BOY, did he look mad!!

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Unfortunately since our spy I mean reporter was shot for using the words "stark" "raving" & "bonkers" in the context of the Spider God we are unable to confirm or condemn this report.

Pangenean News :

in an epic slaughter our armies clashed once again .
the battle reminded me on lord of the rings : the battle at helms klamm http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

my true praise to the brave machakan warriors and their clever generals . you did the best to defend your capitol and almost succeeded . and you have purchased you much time .
i need to reinforce again .
only luck ensured my victory in this battle . if your warriors would have routed only 1 turn later or a dust to dust / banishment would have been luckier the battle might very likely have ended differently .

Our countryside office recently received an anonymously delivered parcel containing a single DVD disk. On it was a video reportedly of the GREAT SPIDER LORD, dressed in his finest silks… here are some excepts that are audible:

You shall be rewarded in heaven and in this life for your great deeds and success.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)
 

Typical Abysia, cornering the market on the ice or arch devils. But I have already planned out a strategy to take them down if they come my way!

If only I could remember that plan...
