Have you considered just raising them all as undead Black Guards? No breathing that way, and you can cut down on food and lodging costs too. Mind you, they do tend to get a bit wiffy in the summer heat, but no-one is perfect.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

While we welcome your thoughtfull suggestion, MR9 and Undead is a bad combination.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

No response from llama yet. Well, at least I learned a valuable lesson: always set a master password :doh:
I happen to be quite busy lately myself, so um...I don't exactly wish to rush anything at this moment :) I can wait at least 'till the end of the weekends if that will be necessary.
At least it can be said now that Heinrich truly lost interest in this game, since he would be all guns blazing here now otherwise.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

I am fine with a hiatus as we try to reach llama for ideas on how to solve this. I will be away for a few days this weekend anyways.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

I'm pretty sure the best plan is just to announce to all players that Pan has gone into a state of "civil war", declare them fair game for all comers, then stand back and let the carnage commence.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

If you have the pretender file, a utility exists to get the password from it.
http://dom3.servegame.com/passrecover.php
Since the pretender itself is definitly stored somewhere on llamaserver, it should be possible to get around the password.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

We need llamabeast for that. He is the only one that can pry pretender files from llamaserver :) If this utility works as intended then all we need now is his reply.
I might even have a permanent sub by that time.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

We really should get going fast - when one loses touch on the game at hand he loses his interest also.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

No response from llama either. The Wednesday hosting time is hereby declared the final hour of Pangaea before it starts boiling in a civil war :)

Once all turns except Pangaea's are in, we shall force host it.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

All turns are in, so (based on your comment above) I'm going to force host the game.

May Pangaea's death be swift and yet horribly painful! :-)

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

it will.
Most Proletarian promise of the Peoples Republic.
So everybody gets to issue attack orders in the next turn?

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Just to clarify: if by "the next turn", you mean the current turn (the one that we all just received), then the answer is an unequivocal "heck yeah!".

Or at least, that is my understanding from Lung Drago's posts on the matter. :-)

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

So, did Pan go AI or just stale

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Pan just staled. The player has disappeared, and we couldn't set the country to AI as we didn't have his password :-(

Hence the clunky Civil War thing. With no player, and no AI to even move units, it should be fairly brutal for Pan.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Yes.
The sooner Pan gets wiped, the better for us, since we won't need to manually host the turns any longer. So, don't be shy! Release the hounds! Release the Krakens! Release the Bane Lords! Heck, release whatever you use, just make sure Pan is dead. :D

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

The Proletarians of Pangea will not be opressed by their vile reactionary backwards pseudocapitalist rulers much longer!

Needless to say, Blood magic is still banned, of course!

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Necromancy within reasonable limits (only with the consent of the to be reanimated) has long been a staple of the Republic!

There are some concerns about the civil and economic rights of reanimated intelligent beings, and some within the peoples Republic fear that growing numbers of intelligent, voting undead could upset the political system of the Peoples Republic. Others voice the concern considering the risk of scientific stagnation, or overpopulation.
The Peoples Republic is addressing these issues with a large degree of state control of Necromancy, as well as direct democracy elements involved in choosing persons to be reanimated.
While Undead citizens of Ulm enjoy full civil rights, their ecomic rights are a bit limited by a introduction of a fairly high toll tax on undead beings.

OC: Actually, managing a state with sentient undead/sentient revived immortal persons would be quite complicated, and would likely lead to stagnation. A ruling class of undead or future undead is another likely outcome if reanimations are controlled by the state or a ruling class.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

What a lovely announcement. Wobbly skeleton men are funny. Except when there are 1000 of them attacking Spottygoose.

Fishworm is back!
The Peoples Republic of Ulm has gotten a major recruitment coup as its Tartarian recruitment office acquired the services of no other than Fishworm himself! We now switch over to comrade Field Marshal Zhukov, who has taken a break from bashing Lizards and decerebralising political opponents and is now conducting an interview for Ulm News!

Field Marshal Zhukov: "Greetings Fish Worm, how do you like Ulms most incredible and totally unbiased employment opportunities for Tartarians?"

Fishworm:"I am not Fishworm! No, I am Fishnanny! No, I am Fishworm! No! No, I am Fishworm!

Field Marshall Zhukov:"Did Man or Tien Chi hit your head a lot`?"

Fishworm:"Yes! No! Which head! Both Heads!"

Field Marshall Georgy Zhukov:"While your lower part looks quite Fishwormlike, you appear to have picked up hands, and a humanoid torso and head. How did this happen?

Fishworm: Fishnanny picked up Fishworm Half in Tartarus! No, Fishwormhalf picked up Fishnanny in Tartarus! Fu Fu Fu Fusion!

Field Marshall Zhukov: "And what about your new found magic abilities? From my best knowledge, neither Fishworm nor Fishnanny was very skilled in Fire magic..."

Fishworm:"Fishwormhalf Smart was! Hehe, more Smarter Fishwormhalf indeed it was, other half got back to Fishworm palace and was turned into Sashimi by big 4 armed guy! But more smarter Fishwormhalf stayed in Tartarus and put a Dynamo on Spottygoose! Fishwormhalf got more Fire magic everytime Spottygoose used Tartarian Elevator! Muahahahhaha!

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

I have even more interesting news!
Just yesterday early in the morning, I marched from the Palace, headed to the marketplace, intending to shop for some shiny new shoes fitting an Emperor. Naturally, I embarked on this voyage this soon so that no random chick could buy them out right in front of my nose.
But, just as I stepped down the last stair of the 555 long Palace staircase, I fell! Suddenly, a biga*s hole in the earth happened over night! I swear on my name I was falling for like an hour! Then I finally hit the bottom of the well and my head and life were over.
"What a mess!", I thought to myself, "Someone is going to pay for this." Then I realized I could think, so that must have meant I was alive at some degree. So, I opened my eyes and I got BLINDED! So many yellow shinies! I landed in a luxurious bed of yellow gems. No, I landed in a city of yellow gems! Right in my backyard, can you believe that?
Oh, down there was some lady too. Earthmother, she called herself? Not really talkative, reminds me of my adviser Barathrus. But in the end it turns out it was Barathrus who introduced me to this rocky lady and she simply invited me over for a cup of tea. Well, she wanted to drink some weird brown stuff at first, but we unsurprisingly settled on a tea once she had her first tasting.
So, I got myself a new friend! I intend to visit her once a month at very least. She said she likes me and will prepare yellow shinies gift for me each time. She is really nice! Except I have a hole in front of my front door now and you cannot really reach the other side unless you fly or teleport. I have comissioned building of a cable-railway over the chasm.

Doesn't change the fact I still need new shoes, though.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

I am stuck helping family, so I will need a slight extension (+12h added to the clock). Sorry.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Throughout the holiday season I will need extensions on weekends. With Pangaea never coming back, you could just turn off auto-hosting and then manually host every time the turns (sans his) are in.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

I like FAJs suggestion. Any objections?

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

well ok

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Hmm, autohost is turned off by changing it to 0, I presume? :smirk:

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Too late for that (for me anyways). Staled during the seige on my cap.

Set to AI now. GG all

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

There were strong winds at my place and I had a shaky internet connection :-/ Kinda wasn't expecting that. I got logged off literally seconds after my last post. Why do such things always happen during key turns? :mad:

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

No hard feelings, it was a low outside chance for me to repel the attack; I could have put up a fight though, so I must say sorry to Man's opponents!

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

I am still awaiting some important awnsers to diplomatic inquiries, and would thus kindly ask for an extension.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Well, I can put my turn up, but as Ermor and Tien Chi are also still missing, perhaps another delay is called for.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Ermor is my co-admin, so I take it he can force the turn once he is ready :) 12 hours it is, then.
I got the turn quite close today, but on the bright side, my first, bigger short story ever is finished today. I hope dudes in the literary competition will like it :smirk:

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Thanks for playing it through to the bitter end, FAJ - much appreciated.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

From what I can see, everyone is off pondering Christmas dinner or butterfiles or the like, so we'll extend the turn 48 hours and then see how we are tracking at that point.

Good luck in the story comp, Lung Drago!

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Just added another 24 hours, will keep extending as need be given the time of the year.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Given only one nation (the redoubtable C'tis!) have put in their turn, and it is less than 12 hours until processing, I've put an extra 48 hours on the clock.

Hope everyone has a great new years eve!

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Thanks a lot, poo poo does not get done in the holiday season for sure!

The Peoples Republic of Ulm announces its intention to make its New Years military parade in Konburg.
Resistance is expected to be futile.

We were starting to think that you forgot about us. By the way, did you get the plagues we sent you? We were in the holiday spirit, and thought that is was "better to give than too receive".

(But seriously, take me out already, because Im going away next week)

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Try to send more plagues this turns ;)
At least the corpes were converted into even moar death gems, yay for raven feast.

at least you will be elimnated by proper overwhelming force.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Na, I'll save the death gems for my last stand. And believe me, I am flattered to be destroyed by overwhelming force.

And yes, yay for raven feast, and for CBM for making it actually usable. I think it's one of the thematically cooler spells.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

We'll give Anaconda until 21:24 GMT and then host. That's a 48 hour extension, and from what i can see he isn't in any major wars with other players so a stale shouldn't be too bad for him.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

By the way, does anyone want to sub for me for a few days in another game? Im going away from the 11th to the 17th, so I need someone for just a few turns. (The game is stalled right now, but Im sure it will start up within the time im gone)

Here is the game link:

Im LA Gath and Im doing ok, but not great. I currently in a war that's mostly being fought by two much stronger allies, with my just trying to snatch a few provinces for myself.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help!

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Alas, Ashdod staled. Hopefully all is OK on that end. Guess we will just need to play it by ear.

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Well, my goose is cooked! Thanks everyone, I had a great time! I am now thoroughly hooked on MP.

Still in a sub in my other game, though, would be great if someone could help!

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Hey BarnacleGoose, if you want to PM me the details I can sub for you.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the game, looking forward to playing with you again in other games :-)

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

Hello to every1, and Santa told me to say to you also.

My holiday season took longer than expected, and sorry for this late delivery. But now I am back on the track again.

And thank for the extensions also!

Re: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Running
 

And a question now that I remember it: anyone interested helping turning long gone Vanaheim AI in the game called Cursed be Iron. At this poin I dont know if he has passw enabled or not, however.

was fun playing with you Goose :)
