Ouch, another Marignon stale :/. I'm a lousy admin?. My fault, Russian Comrade, I didn't remember the previous request to do that. I'll set 72 hours now, I guess Deadnature can use the extra time too.
Caelum is definitely AI now. There might be some minor problems as they have the bugged ettin site, but nothing serious.

Host postponed due to Marignon turn still missing. Please note that I had to move the deadline more than once for this turn, without any notice whatsoever.

Did you send deadnature a PM?
He's getting his turns (or at least his pretender is uploaded) in in another game he is involved in so if he's not engaged in this one, its not because he's not around.

Re: LA Newbie Game: Blood Sacrifices (BS!) [Started] [14/14]

umm, I'm still in this one, sorry that I used all the time provided and staled another one before(!), I'll try to not leave it to the last minute to finish my turn.

It has taken some reajustment to get used to the turn-turning-in-process after some time, but I think I've got the hang of it again.

As for the other game, yeah that took about five-minutes of my time so far, so it interupts this game about as much as brushing my teeth would :)

But, point taken. I will get my turns in faster for this game without staling.

Thanks for your patience!

Guys, I'm going (well, I actually already went and posting this from the Berlin) on a 2-week trip to the Europe.

Is it possible to find a sub for this time?

Re: LA Newbie Game: Blood Sacrifices (BS!) [Started] [14/14]

Don't know, but I can try. I will postpone in the meanwhile. 2 weeks is not much of a time, number of turns wise; I could wait, but that's a personal opinion. What do the others think?
I'll wait for your opinions, if not I'll post looking for a sub this evening, as Russian_Comrade requested.

Uhm, there are three stales this turn (Me, Marignon and Tien Chi). I don't how this happened as you can see in the admin log that it accepted my 96 hours postponement this noon (on my local time). My fault anyway, I'll double check with the main game page in the future. Hope none of our nations will crumble apart for this turn of inaction.

Just pointing out quickly that I have no idea how them Void spectres work, but if R'lyeh has fallen I assume they should have dissapeared?

Dont tell me you just let R'lyeh live? 'cause in addition to those I sent out AI is most likely summoning them more as we speak.

Re: LA Newbie Game: Blood Sacrifices (BS!) [Started] [14/14]

R'lyeh hasn't quite fallen yet. I tough I was finishing them off then had an unfortunate and purely accidental collision with Man so there is still a small spark of R'lyeh at least in 2 water provinces.

Since Russian is back, I'll be sending my turn in a while and hope the remaining players who are missing will do too. In any case, I might add some hours preemptively later this night as I will not be around tomorrow. But is expected that current turn hosts tomorrow.

I know that you just extended the turn on my behalf, but I really need to request another 24-hour extension in order to do my turn properly, sorry again for the delay. I just need more time to sort out the every-turn-micro-nightmare that is Late Game LA Marignon.

Ok, no problem. But try to notify me in advance considering the normal deadline, even if it means asking for a big quantity of time, so I don't have to be constantly checking the server when is about to host.

Also, how acceptable is casting a global with 60% chance of dropping a global of non-enemy nation? I'm really thinking about recasting my gem-gen.

There is 40% chance of dropping Maringon's enchantments too, and Maringon probably earned the status of "nation who screwed all of us" by now.

Patala is getting its butt handed to it by a very powerful Chelms. I just lost an entire army. (stupid solar brilliance! stupid Tarts! Stupid mages! stupid werewolf amulet! stupid fort in every province! stupid liches! stupid wither bones!)

I'm really realizing that in a big map you HAVE to take growth scales or you will be at a serious disadvantage in the late game.

Re: LA Newbie Game: Blood Sacrifices (BS!) [Started] [14/14]

Hey- i realize i am asking for lots of extensions lately and to be honest i am finding it hard to find enough time to fulfill my gaming comittments (laregly due to a new job).

I've got the turn started but need more time.

I'm also looking to offload some of my gaming commitments and have asked for a sub for either this game or another. Hopefully when that happens either i can focus more on this one game and not keep having to ask for extensions or the new player will have more time than me.

For now though, with business travel tomorrow and again on sunday, things are tough. I need a 48h extension on this turn.

Anyway, if you know anyone who might be willing to sub for patala in either this game or the other, check this out:

They are both very fun to play but unfortunately i recently started a new job (well, thats not unfortunate really) and i find myself with much less time than i used to have. I am looking to offload one of these two very enjoyable games to someone who wants to jump in on a late game war.

Here are a few more details:

Game 1: Smiting Season (turn 76): War just beginning with a blood-economy driven Marrignon. Many SCs, good blood economy, good gold economy. Fair but not excellent artifact control. Excellent diversity (every path available pretty much) Control former Man and former Pythium lands as well as a significant portion of formerly neutral lands. Strong contender for the win after Marrignon- so probably first in land and gems but second to Marrignon in everything else. Score graphs are off so its hard to tell exactly.

Game 2: Blood Sacrifice (turn 64): War with Man (who is heavily forted up). A good number of SCs (not as many as smiting). Very good blood economy (under Marrignon's astral corruption so thats good). Very good gold economy. Poor artifact control. Excellent diversity (better than Smiting). Control former Ulm, C'tis, and parts of R'leyh, and Caelum lands. Interesting diplomatic situation where most of the world's nations are at war with Marrignon and on good terms with Patala despite huge territory, good globals and a very strong contention for the win. Only problem is that man is very tough and has won some early skirmishes (lots of tartarians, chalice).

Anyway, if you are interested in either game i can e-mail you the game files and you can choose which you want to take. I would keep playing them both but like i said, my new job is taking a lot of my time and i've had to reduce gaming time.

Thanks for your consideration,
Immac.

Thanks for your understanding. I feel bad for having to reduce my gaming time; i didn't realize i would have to find new employment when i signed up for this game and couldn't have known that my time would be so stretched.

This sure is fun though.

No problem, I'll add 48 hours, and about the sub, I guess it's sad to have to leave such a thriving Planet of the Apes :P (if you do, maybe you'll stay); but real life is real life, so good luck with that.

I'll extend the timer to 96h now. I always end extending the timer anyway, besides any official requirements to do so. And Deadnature, I know you may have had some kind of emergency, but please keep the timer more in check; I couldn't avoid the stale this time.

As you may have noticed, I've postponing the turn the last days, as Tien Chi turn is still missing and I don't wan a stale. Anyway, I PMd Russian Comrade, but still no response. Something may have happened, since he played regularly before. I have no problem waiting more, but what does the rest of you think?

Sorry for the delays.
Unfortunately, I've got some problems with finding time to play Dom3 with my new work. Constant overtimes and wrecked holidays included. I do not know for how long I'll be in this crazy state but it'll probably going to be at least for a month or so.

With all regret I must say that you'll have to find a sub for me. Sorry, guys, I do not mental strength to play something more difficult than an interesting game of "Trying to get some well-deserved sleep" for now. I'm losing in this kind of game, too.

Re: LA Newbie Game: Blood Sacrifices (BS!) [Started] [14/14]

Soooo
A sub "might" have been found for TC, a player is reviewing the turn and making up his mind about it, so i should ask
Are people truly interested about keep on playing this game? I ask because there hasn't been much activity around here (though we're on a pause) and mostly because I've been babysitting the timer every time in the last turns. More than a player almost got an stale, so unexepected extensions more than once. It's been a little tiring for me and so it shows I'm asking the interest question from a very personal point of view (while taking a wild interpretation at this situation). But still seems a valid question to me if we are to retake this game.

I am in the game to the (my?) end.

If sometimes people stale, I'd say let them stale. If they don't have the will to win, the courage to fight and the commitment to get through anything, let those who have them fight for glory! After all, it takes only one minute to post here that you request a delay.
