A Slight Extension
 

Hey guys - I have to show my work to the high-ups today. Means I'm gonna have a long day and I'm not sure I will be back in time to do my turn. Going to need... say 3 hours of extension in order to get home late today and do my turn. That ok with everyone?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Fine with me. Good luck

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

you are the admin!
next time change the punctuation so there isn't a ? in it

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

I know - I didnt ask whether I was able to change it or not, but rather if people had a problem with me changing it. Which they appear not to...

Hosting postponed for 3 hours.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Any chance we will switch to 72h hosting anywhere between now and turn 40?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Micah sent me an email saying he would be away all today and requested a delay until 2am Pacific US Time. Turn will be delayed until then.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

I have sent my turn a couple of time but the server doesn't seem to get it. Its probably experiencing issues.

Can we please postpone hosting until the server is fixed?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

llamaserver seems to be broken again... we're gonna needa delay the turn or if it hosts in a few hours we'll just have to rollback as no one has been able to submit for a while

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

I like this delaying of hosting idea. My wife has given birth to Madeline, Wrecker of Worlds. She's quite cute really!

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Turn is about to host with many nations unable to submit their turn.

In case the turn host, I think a rollback is mandatory.

See current status:

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

does no one read? ;)
it's not going to host until the email problems are resolved. supposedly the email provider has experienced problems due to hurricane Ike. (though they claim no interruptions to service).

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Yeah folks, it looks like we are on hiatus until the 20th, when Llama returns. Till then, eat, drink, and be merry!

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Yoohoo, time to have fun :jam:
No dominions MP, tyrant of your spare time, consumer of minutes and eater of sleep :D

:party:

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Haha, I have escaped its geas - free at last!!!! (Until LLamaserver's Soul Trap starts functioning again, anyway.)

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Hehehe. I saw a battle where the Soul Trap was used recently - wow that's a nice artifact! I dont know if it produces different effects in each battle but I saw (iirc) three ghost mages with paths like 3F and 3E. Really nice.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Well, the Soul Trap is a war trophy hanging in the great hall of Atlantis now, courtesy of Bogarus. Darn thing doesn't work anymore unfortunately, I think the souls got out...

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Psst, we were supposed to have balanced artifact placement. ;)

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Balance, like everything else in dominions, is relative ;)

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Ok, the llamaserver is back up. I just submitted a turn and finally got a response. Game on!!

Everyone should resubmit thier turns now, just in case.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

It's going to take me a bit. Sadly I haven't done the turn yet, instead I've waded through diapers and lack of sleep.

I can't remember why we were fighting anymore Ironhawk.. heh. 4-5 good turns of brutal war ended up with us back in our starting places and beat up!

More?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

is bloody strife not itself reason enough?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

It's also my 40th bday tomorrow so I am having a party tonight! Anyone in Tucson is welcome to come!

But this will delay my turn more!

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

hey congrats - kid, birthday, turn delayed - it's all coming up Rathar :)

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Hmm. Could we get back to game toptics?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

i declare war on whichever glorious nation Lingchih is playing!11

now, if gath were to be so kind as to remove its ark from the vicinity of my capital, I could happily pursue this vendetta ;)

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

you would have to join an large group of people already intent on destroying me Archeo

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Completely unrelated to game, Lingchih you have a very interesting icon. May I ask what it represents?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

It's the late writer Hunter S. Thompson's personal logo (I don't think he would mind me using it). It's a six fingered hand clenching a peyote button as the hilt of a knife, with the word "Gonzo" overlaid.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

:cool: logo.

Thanks for the explanation.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Are we still fighting? I thought there was a cease-fire? Guess I will find out when the turn generates, heh.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Jomon staled 3 Turns in a row now. Ironhawk we should look for a replacement before it is an easy target for his neighbours.

Could you please set the game on hold until we find one and change the first post that we're looking for a player.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

I was about to suggest the same. 3 straight stales and 6 the whole game. Nice.

Anyone at war with him btw?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

I'll put the word out. If anyone knows a player who is looking for a spot, let me know.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

tgBob has agreed to step in for the Jomon position. Welcome to the game, tgbob!

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Hello all, I'll try and honor any previous agreements Jomon had with his neighbors, and to try not die too badly.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Did we add some time?

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

I believe that QM added some time to try and get the Jomon-password debacle sorted out. This should hopefully be the last delay for some time.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Whew! Looks like we got the password stuff worked out. TGBob just reported in IRC that he was able to access the turn. So we should be good.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

i would like to trade for some earth gems i have d s n to trade in 1:1

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Man! Tough turn. 2 players knocked out simultaneously

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Can I get a 12 hour extension? Can't get to turn tonight. Thanks.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Extended.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Can we please extend this turn by 24h?- Its holiday time in Israel and I'll be out of home.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Extended.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Anyone happen to have earth gems for sale? Unfortunately my income is really low for now. (I'll need to conquer someone with a good income if I can't trade for them. Anyone volunteering? ;) )

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Heh, I'm Agartha and my earth income is laughable. Its really a disgrace.

In other news: Talks between Tien Chi and Agartha have broken down and the war is scheduled to resume a turn from now. Place your bets! Place your bets!

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Hey guys, as I am sure you are all aware, this game is running on the llamaserver. That server is run, free of charge, by our fellow dom3 player, llamabeast. And, the past bit of service interruption aside, its really run beautifully. Additionally, while most of you never see this, the game start and management functions are really remarkably smooth.

Anyway, llama has put an optional Donate button on his server and I would encourage you all to donate, as I just did. Doesnt really have to be anything much - even a dollar would be fine. But however much you donate, I think we should definitely all pitch in for his service which we make such use of.

You can find a link to his Donate thing on the game status page

http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=artifacts

It works with PayPal so you shouldnt have any probs.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

I hope you all got your magic items. I was quite generous. Pythium, signing off. Not quite sure who I sent what though.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

Can we please postpone current hosting by 24h?- I will have need of this extension in order to complete my turn.

Re: The Artifacts Game - [ running ]
 

The Referee runs out onto the field blowing her whistle and tossing various colored handkerchiefs about.

"Tien-Chi! Early start and offsides! 200 gold penalty and a turn timeout! Go to the Box!"

The offending mages grumbled and a spectator heard "It seemed like a good idea at 4 in the morning.."

Pardon, I live 3 blocks from the University stadium and there is a game forming up outside.
