Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

LOL, Yeah I forgot it took only ten days to solve our rollback problem!!

Heck, its the weekend (and the playoffs, in the US anyway) and I have snow storm every other dang day. Its only 5 days and I agree with thejeff.

PLEASE get your turn in and in a couple of days I (as I have the code) will give you a brand new turn to play with until he gets back and catches up.

We owe him a little time as he IS the one who put it together, don't you all think?:up:

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

I see it has been nice and quiet here while I was away! ;)
Thanks for the support guys! I am back for action again so I will fire up Llama so it'll start pumping out the turns again. I hope everyone will chime in again! *thumbs up*!

Cold here, by the way. There hasn't been so much snow since '83 here!

EDIT: Tig na N'og needs to send in their turn and the game will quickhost so we can continue.

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Loupp - you still with us? :poke:

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

So I'm thinking we're gonna need a sub for Tir na n'Og :cry:

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

If he stales this turn I will submit a request on the forum. He has been on and off in a number of games. I don't know if he is having computer problems or not.

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

I just checked staling record and he only has 2 and has made the last 4 turns, so I may not jump too quick but WILL keep an eye on the situation.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Loupie needs to check in here... :) Waiting patiently.

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Just putting back on first page

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Alright guys! Interesting turn this was.
First I am at peace, next thing I am at full war! O_O

I finally got around to updating the first page too! Everyone has the correct name with the correct nation now, at least I think so. ;) If you're missing from the list, drop a note please.

Is everyone going along nicely now and are all the rollback problems solved?

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

We haven't seen Tir since the rollback, have we? He's staled the last 3 turns.
We should probably try to get a replacement.

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

We do. He's my only chance of backup as well as things are right now in the game. :S
I need him to answer my call for help!

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Tir looks to be in pretty good shape. Is there someone (Yskonen) on his side of the map who can write a decent description for a sub request post in the appropriate sub finder thread? If we go back to 1 turn/10 days I will completely lose track of what was going on. :smirk:

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

I was just checking the syale data myself...We need to find a replacement SOON or set it AI. Nooooooo easy pickens:envy:

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Ok a sub it is then, preferably. How can I write anything about T'ir? I can only vaguely see what provinces he still has, nothing more? Or am I wrong?

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

I know nothing about them in this game

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Hi all. Since I'm at war with Caelum, might be best to extend the deadline to find a replacement for Tir and specially if Tir is the nation to which Caelum is asking for help. And if it's not possible, then I can remake my turn and don't move my armies in order Caelum can have enough time to find a sub. But I would need more time to remake my orders, 12 hours because i'm at work. I can send the turn at 18:00 GMT (19 in Spain). Ok?

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Since I don't think anyone has posted about a sub for Tir, I'll do so.
We should delay until we get one. (Or give up and set him AI)

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Ok.

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Thank you :cool:

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Thanks jeff. I was just about to figure out how we should file for a sub, but you've taken care of it. Excellent. I'll put the game on hold.

Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Yskonen - I'm pretty sure you can edit the OP so that David&Goliath can be seen by people browsing the main multiplayer forum. I am going to post there for a sub for Tir along with the one thejeff put in the sub thread. I will ask anyone interested to PM you or Grudge if that's OK.

Although if anybody could use a pile of uncontested provinces, it would be you guys on the other side of the board, eh? ;)

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Done. :)

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Sorry, I meant so that the name of our game - "David&Goliath" can be seen. Something to let a potential sub find the thread knowing only the game name. Something like

Running: David&Goliath - First Newbie game...

Not complaining, you know. Just trying to make us easier to see now and going forward. :)

Anyway, did you get a PM from donPablo?

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
 

Right! Good tips Stagger Lee! :)
donPablo has been allowed to take a peek on Tir. He will report back to me to confirm he want to sub or not.

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

I just resent the turn to him as he e-mailed me last night but said he hasn't got it yet.

I hope both of us messing with it didn't screw it up for him.

I changed his E-mail either last night or EARLY this morning (before I went to the gym)

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

I also suggest that if he doesn't want it we ask him to set it AI....just an opinion.

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Well, I've got the turn at last. I'll complete my orders in a couple of hours.

If you have a treaty or NAP with Tir - PM me.

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

WELCOME DON_PABLO....

I have not met Tir yet but I will give you a 3 turn Nap sight unseen for tjumping into the fire blind.

Grudge (Arco)

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

2Ermor: should I understand your attack as a declaration of war?

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

To be fair to Klepto (Ermor), we all had our turns in a while ago. Maybe he didn't know there was a new lord of Tir when he sent his invading armies.

Maybe.

And this game really is all about teaching us how to live in peace and harmony right? ;)

BTW: Thanks for jumping in, it's been fun so far. For lots of us, this is our first MP game. :)

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Great you jumped in Don, welcome!

Caelum is an ally of Tir and you should have received an in-game message from us, if not please say so and I will send it again.

Re: !!LOOKING FOR SUB!!: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Lets take the looking for sub label off the heading....:up:

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

The end is drawing near for the mighty realm of Caelum...
This is a desperate cry for help to all surrounding nations to aid us in the defense against the looters of Tir na N'og!

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Tir na n’Og?
Not TienChi?
How very interesting..

Yes, I’m sorry, I was going to answer you but always put it off till next time.
So...

1) I’ve no borders with TC. It’s difficult to help you with main army.
2) If using thugs I need some turns to prepare.
3) You gave none of the information of his bless, magic and favourite tactics. I don’t know how can you be at war and know nothing of that.
4) And finally, you seem to be doomed. You have very low research (but it should be your main weapon) And you have very low dominion strength. I expect you to lose all the candles in some months.

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

I have to correct that.. :)
Indeed Tien Chi. With you swapping in on Tir na N'og I guess that name stuck in my head. :)

I don't have any info on their tactics, because they steamrolled over my forces.
It's a sort of blitzkrieg.
But it's very soothing that you say I will be gone in the next few turns. :(

:D

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

I will be gone before you Y, if it's any consolation. 11 Niefel Jarls standing on my cap. :cold: Killed a couple of them before the rollbacks, but with so many it was only a matter of time.

3 things I learned:

1) Scouting is very important, and C'tis has the worst scouting in history.

2) If there is a nightmare start for C'tis it would be within 3 steps of Niefelheim. I'd have been gone long ago if he wasn't busy with others too.

3) Rollbacks really can screw up your perception of game flow. Concentration suffers, when you remember having done something, but you never really did it. Whether it's forging an item, or adjusting research priorities, or any of so many things that we do each turn.

Anyway, I'm in it til the end, but my turns will be short now. Congrats Xanatos, you killed me before my plan for global domination could be implemented - GG all! :)

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

I'm also nearly eliminated (second game today!). It was fun and I enjoyed our alliance with Stagger Lee and Dark Kitty. Although treacherous Alehkhs was a fun opponent. I also greatly enjoyed setting a new level of unrest (~400) in my former capital as well as killing off 8000 of the population. Hopefully Alehkhs/Xanatos will appreciate it. I learned a lot about MP politics in this game, esp. how not to do it. Additionally my opponents used [future] knowledge during rollbacks to my great disadvantage, resulting in the [permanent] loss of my capital. I hope other players in this game will take away the importance of not (pretty much ever) doing rollbacks.

Cheers!

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Boo! Hiss! Rollbacks=the devil.

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

You fought to the end in both and from what I understand made evryone pay for each province they took.

Thanks for everything and for playing.

Yeah, rollbacks can be a REAL drag (I am in that same game also).

How did you get it to 400? Man, that will take forever to use for anything..lol, good job!!

See you in the next one:up:

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Bloodhunting and taxes 200. I didn't bother to siege as I only had commanders left. Significant population loss as well.

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

I hate to do this, but I'm going to start looking for a replacement. I took this position as a temporary and got stuck with it.

Now my life and work are getting busy again. It's manageable at the moment, mostly since I'm not at war, but where's the fun in that.
I'll keep going until I find someone, but I may need an occasional delay.

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

I think Veto could replace you.
He is my friend and he likes Pangaea very much.
I ask him if you don't mind.

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Sure, ask him. That would be great.

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Sure I'd like to lead Panga:)
My e-mail
ivanovmaxim@inbox(dot)ru

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Veto, you're back! You're the last one we're waiting for in the OneFort game. Get your pretender in!

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

OK VETO...I will set you as Pangea if you PM me and tell me thats what you want. (include you e-mail adress agian in the PM).

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Veto is now Pangea...I have asked him to Pm thejeff for his diplomacy obligations.

My thanks to thejeff who started out as a temp sub, and stayed with it after the other player could not continue.

You have left Veto with a strong Nation, Thank you and will see you in another game:up:

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

Execuse me... work troubles.
Waiting for PM with information I should know.
May I ask for a little delay to have a chance not to make a lot of mistakes 1 turn?
And I wish all a good luck!

Re: David & Goliath - Running noob game
 

I extended the game 6 hours....if that isn't enough you need to let me know.
