Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

maybe a little delay for them? like 12 more hours?

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Hosting delayed by 12 hours, and doncorazon should have the admin password now.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

T'ien C'hi and Shinuyama are again about to stale... another delay?

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Sigh, I wish my neighbors staled...

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Added 12 hours.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Sorry about the almost staling. I fell asleep in my sofa after work :)

I'm in two games atm, and I'm used to be in none, so I get surprised every day because there is always one game that I'm about to stale in.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Id miss all kinds of things if I didnt have my computers reminding me of everything.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Mr Kristoffer, you got a couple PMs from me ;) are you receiving those?...

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Tien Chi emperor obviously doesn't have time dealing with supernatural beings...

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Hadrian-II, looks like you have inadvertently messed a bit with the wiki, if you need help I'll be glad to repair the pages :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

The ministry of supernatural affairs is not yet formed. The position as minister is not yet dealt to anyone, so gold and gems might still influence the election.

Unfortunately the Emperor just showed himself for the first time since he was poisoned by Lin Poo. The empire is celebrating, but the appointment of the minister will probably be delayed, as well as all foreign affairs.

In other words, I have a rather busy week and my pretender returned and I have little time to write stuff :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Isn't Tay-yue Da-di the minister? Lol, I've talked with the wrong man :D I'll let the message for the next turn as it is, you'll decide if it's ok :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

What, i dont see any problem with the wiki.:angel:

But i hope i did it right this time

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Man was going to stale so I added 6 hours and PMed the offender. :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I would let this game run along as it is normal that people stale and there is nothing much you can do about it.

Also this game is still in early game and we have already an 48 hour timer so further delays are really not necessary.

edit: yay, ranting makes turns come :D

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I hate to request an extension on such slow moving game, but I have a virus preventing me from taking the turn at the moment. Hopefully I should have time to sort it out tomorrow.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

It's ok to me, we could stop 'till 18 jan or anyway 'till when q_m terminates the bugger :) DonCorazon whaddya think? ;)

(... of course in exchange we expect qm to work on the A8 mage of LA Agartha :D )

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Of course I wouldn't have minded to extend the turn (as you know I have even pro-actively postponed hosting to accommodate players) but Monday mornings are bad and in this case I was in a meeting and just saw his message now. I check the boards and PMs pretty frequently but in the future to be safe try to provide more advance notice.... :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

By decree of the ascending goddess, I am authorized to secure deals trading treasures straight from the great forges of Ulm. Any greater magic item contracted from a master smith at base price in gems, gem type flexible. Dwarven hammers for 15 gems of whatever you've got handy. Other path items available for forgings upon negotiation. Bulk discounts and favored long term trading arrangements available. Payment in fire gems currently qualify for additional discount. Interested parties should send an agent to the bayside section of the grand bazaar, ask for Pete.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Awakening from a long, drunken stupor (perhaps they imbibed a bit much of the sacred beer), the Hoburg have awakened to an epiphany. To accomplish their grand quest to get the rest of the world to settle down, they're going to need to unite the other nations under Hoburg rule. The lands of men in the west beckon to the short ones. The great crusade is about to begin!

Okay that wasn't that great, but Man, there's your warning :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

It would appear that man has staled the last two turns. QM, are you still playing? If not, it might be time to get a sub.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Message from KO:
My internet is out of order so I won't be able to do my turns for a while.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

hmm...not sure how long "a while" is. I suppose he wouldn't mind if we found a sub for him? And we'll need to check in on Man to see whether he needs a sub.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

This is a bad game to have subs in, it would really be best to avoid them if at all possible. KO at least is still intending to play, and has been sending in his turns. I would rather wait for him. QM has staled two turns in a row, which seems to me a good sign of dropping from the game.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I don't mind waiting - maybe JK can see if he can get an estimate from KO just so we know what to expect (days? weeks?- a "while" means different things to different folks). Plus we would just look for a temporary, not permanent sub. Anyway, I don't mind either way - just need more info / player input.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Personally, I think that it would be best to wait for KO - particularly as I'm trying to negotiate with his empire right now. :) On the other hand, his storyline allows for temporary sub at least - some discontinuity can be explained by different court clique taking power temporary...

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Added 72 hours for now. If we need more, we can add it. I expect diligent Chronicles players will make good use of this time to scribe their epic tales... :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Hi!

My connection is still down. A field technician is reputedly working on the case and he might contact me. However, I suspect he wont work during the weekend, so send my turns to JK. He can sub me for a few days. johan at illwinter.

He likes old people, so I'll put him in charge of the newly formed ministry of supernatural affairs and the tuang-ti da-di guy. Can't remember his name :)

Supernatural affairs seems more prevalent than human relations. He might decide that the winter is the time of supernatural contacts. This will lead to a time calm on his part.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Welcome Johan, lover of old people! :) The TC turn should have been sent to you.
I think the next turn hosts in just over 2 days but if you need more time, just let me me know. Thanks for stepping in.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Is this minister bribable? ;)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

You shouldn't say things like that out loud, what if the emperor hears about it? The poor, corrupt minister could be sentenced to death and then who would you do business with.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

With the next one, of course! On the other hand, I surely do not insist that the answer be made in public, even though bribing officials was a time-honored tradition in China (they didn't get state payment for their work as such) and so Emperor would probably be lenient in this respect - especially if it works out good enough for his Empire.. :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I'd just like to point out that man has staled for the third time now. I'm currently taking over his territory, and I really shouldn't be able to honestly. Is it possible to get a sub for man?

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I didn't take turns in any games last week due to various problems, I thought I was back on top of them but this one slipped. Anyway, I'll make an effort to get the turn in this time.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Thanks!

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I'm back. My turns can be sent to my proper adress now.

The ministry was utterly corrupt and several ministers have been executed. Jo-Ang Kai-Song (also known as JK) was swiftly put to death. The emperor is pleased. All is well in the empire. There are no dissidents. Everyone is glad to pay their taxes. All hail the Emperor!

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

1000 years of life! :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

The address for the Celestial Empire has been changed.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I think the wiki need an update, we finaly have something interesting to write about with wars starting everywhere.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Agreed, many nations are playing this pretty quietly as if it were any other MP game. Lets get some chronicles going - at least more than one update every 20 turns por favor!

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

It also looks like many nation threads don't have editable blanks beyond turn five. Maybe it should be added? (I managed to do this once, but am not sure this is how I should do it). Also, there was a post here some time back, with Hoburgs declaring war on Man - it probably should be copied to wiki...

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I added them for my own nation and I am pretty technically challenged. I just looked at the script for turns 1-5 and copied and pasted then changed the turn numbers. Since I already added the turn numbers for R'lyeh up to 19, the easiest way to do it would be to go to the R'lyeh nation page and open the edit screen and copy all the script that looks like

== [[Chronicles:Turn_11|Turn 11]] ==
</noinclude>{{#ifeq: {{{turn|11}}} |11|

Text goes here
}}<noinclude>

Note the "no include" text doesn't show up above but you'll see it on the wiki edit screen and know what I mean.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Speaking personally I'm really sorry for my situation, I'm having trouble finding time as I'm under a heavy exams session, I'll write even the chronicles of the previous turns as soon as I'll find some free time! At least, I'm carrying a very interesting diplomatic life :)

You and me both my friend...

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I'm not really working well with the story the original hoburg leader decided on. It's not really the sort of direction I would normally go. And they chose such a strange build. I'm not really too sure what to do with myself. And last turn I learned a very important lessen about the difference in size between man and hoburg :hurt:.

Anyway, I'm sorry I'm not really writing for them, it's just not a theme that works well for me.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Atlantis (hunt11) stalled 2 times in row now. I think we should set the game on hold and finde a replacement. With only 2 water nations this is one key position.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I've PMed hunt11 and will hold the game until we confirm he is still playing or, if necessary, find a sub. R'lyeh has taken 0 provinces from Atlantis btw.

And we'd like to here some stories from Ermor :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Just checking in on the illustrious TC as I see a couple stales. Hope all is well in the Celestial Empire. :)

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I am hoping so too - they are my neighbors and while I surely do not want to invade them I'd rather they don't suddenly turn AI on me! And that is without taking in consideration KO's excellent stories - which I hope would continue! ;)
And on another topic - could you say how long ago it was that we'd lost Baalz? Ulm seems to be on AI now, but I hadn't checked this for a long time...

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I think around ~ turn 19 he lost his pretender and went AI thereafter.

See "The Last Days of Ulm" under R'lyeh for a full accounting of the tragic fall of Mama Gaga... :)

Meanwhile, I have to say it would be nice to get accounts from other nations. With graphs off, its not quite fair to be divulging valuable intel via the chronicles when other nations are not reporting anything. :(
