Haa haa haa, bong hits out of skulls.

Yes, lack of protection.... I guess that is what happens when your prophet is a hippy pot smoker. ;)

Also, should you rethink your attack plans I am still willing to call it even and make peace with you.

on the Shinuyama issue, I reckon give him another chance. we know he is busy and doesn't check this board, and its not like he's missed two in a row. maybe drop him an email?

on the subject, might it be time to advance the clock to 36 hours anyway? I know my god is going to be starting a lot of balls rolling in the lab over the next few turns...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

His being busy is terrible for my heart when I have a big battle on the next turn

The horrible horrible anxiety

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

When you said "stalled again" in your previous post, I thought you meant twice in a row. One time seems forgiveable.

I have no problem with 36 hours.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Yeah, sorry guys, I actually did my turn and then got distracted by the kiddywink and completely forgot to e-mail it to the server. :mad: What's worse is I'm likely to stale on this turn too as I was out all day yesterday and I'm posting this from my work PC and not my home PC - If you can delay the turn by 4 hours or so, I should be able to get home and get the turn in this evening.

Sorry again. :mad:

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Added 4 hours.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Getting to the point where there's one turn every two days...

Sadface. I miss the one turn per day timing.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

must say I prefer a more relaxed pace on this one.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Thanks, but I have taken over all the indy provinces, so I have to expand somewhere or I'll be turtling.

The Astrologers of Arcoscephale have completed a map of the world according to general heresay from other nations!

Since I'm 'err' - I mean Vanheim is dead, Colonial takes over as Admin (and I take over in Last Rites, where he is dead).
Edit: Sorry almost dead, sort of undead? ;-)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

seems about right.

Incidentally, your telling everyone what's in your treasury...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Taking a brief break from my self imposed exile to apologize on behalf of all interested parties.

Apparently you have to set everyone to patrol in order to get combat when someone attacks a fort province.

Hopefully there aren't any weird qualifiers for breaking a siege, but if Arco would be so kind as to stand in one spot for the next turn, the siege will be broken, and that important battle can go down.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Fumanstu: there appears to be a rather huge army by my border... just a friendly reminder that we have an NAP in effect, so if you're going to invade, be sure to let me know first ;)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

So I shall stand.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

yeah, and I'm totally the admin now. B*****s.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I am in the market for any magic boosting item for Nature or Death magic.

If you can forge Thistle Maces, Moonvine Bracelets, Treelord Staves, Skull Staves, Skull Face, or Flailing Hands I will happily make a trade for these items.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I can do that. What can you sell me?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Pm me, we'll work out a deal

On an unrelated note:
You've got about an hour left Marignon! Take your turn or you're gonna staaaaaale!

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

About five minutes left... didn't he stale recently (12/10, to be exact)? I hope we aren't losing a player.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

No, he last staled on about turn 5. Shinuyama staled on the 12/10. Two different players.

Can I recommend we boost the turn limit up to 48 hours over the holiday period?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Dude, I was watching llamaserver like a hawk that night so that I could play my next turn, as an epic siege battle was approaching... check out the post I made right before the turn came out. Unless llamaserver is displaying the wrong information (come on, it's the internets, that's not possible lol!), he stalled that night.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

You can check the stale statistics on llamaserver.

http://www.llamaserver.net/doAdminAc...ion=showstales

We can see that two turns ago, Shinu staled - afaik, that was the 12th but I may be misremembering.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Per the Link Marignon stalled turn 33

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

It occurs to me that I might be talking about historical stales and you might be talking about this one.. in which case.. whoops.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Hopefully he doesn't stale again. Waiting 30hrs between turns makes me sad.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

So we can access the admin account???

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

You can't do admin things like forcing turns, but yeah. If you click the admin options link it'll take you to a page with a bunch of stuff. One of the links on it is 'show stalling data'

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Colonial has the PW (and I'm still around), but you don't need the PW for the stalling statistic. If that was you question.

About changing the player, I would wait with starting to talk about it until he missed/stalled two turns in a row.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

yeah, there's two things you can check without being admin. one of them is stalling data.

I hope he doesn't stall again. It would make my war somewhat one-sided...

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

It would horrendously unbalance the game if he dropped. Essentially free provinces/forts for R'lyeh, Bandar, Man, and maybe Aby if he can reach over there. While Me, Pangaea, and Shinuyama are stuck up north fighting amongst ourselves.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

hmmm, should I extend the turn to make sure he doesn't stall again? he's also in a strong position for subbing if it comes to that.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Marignon submitted! Whew, here I was all worried.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

That's good that he's still in.

I forgot to copy my saved game to my thumb drive, otherwise I would have sent my turn in this morning... I'll do it at soon as I get home.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

man attacks me

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I approve of Man having to fight a split war

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Can someone sell me death gems?

Also wanted to buy: Ring of the Warrior

Can sell: Nature, Astral, Air, Earth and anything you can make with those schools of magic.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

If you could start fire-bombing Pangaea's coastline, you can have my death gem income (currently four per month) for the next ten turns.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Wow, someone sounds desperate!

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I'm not doing very well... it is my first MP game, and I'm learning a lot of valuable lessons the hard way lol.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

@earwicker7 - You crazy goof; I offered you peace several times even after you attacked me! ;)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Everyone, take note... THIS is the type of guy you want to play MP with! Even when I'm begging for others to attack him, he still has a sense of humor.

Well played, my friend, well played.

But someone still needs to help me destroy him :)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Marignon staled again. I think it's time he gracefully finds a sub.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

hmmm, he's never stalled twice in a row...

changed to 36 hour turns. I was surprised it hadn't been changed already.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

True, but he's staled three times in one week. That's bordering on 50%, which is totally throwing the balance out of whack, favoring those nations at war with him.

My opinion... ask for him to gracefully bow out. If he doesn't, give him a final warning that, if he misses one more turn, he's getting switched to AI.

Why are people so averse to just asking for an extension??? He's obviously not incapacitated or anything; I'm sure he's just really busy and doesn't have time to play, but the nice thing to do would be to admit it, ask for the occasional extension, or, if that won't work, move on, instead of dragging the game down.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

His english isn't very good.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

We should really start finding a sub, since him going AI is just as bad as him not being here (aside from the turn time lol)

I really don't need to go to war with someone and conquer a prov of theirs when they conquer two that turn thanks to the AI/Stalled opponent.

Agreed... does the admin want to make a new thread?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Thread made (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...455#post766455)

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

as per the consensus, I've found a sub. now it looks like mari is back in the game.

advise me please.
