Easy Slay, the Gorgon extermination specialists.

So, where's that holiday schedule? http://www.dom3minions.com/~nav/bin/nav_chk.cgi still shows regular hosting time.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.

The schedule is supposed to kick in around midnight, server's time (PST) 12/23. I wouldn't worry, I am sure Gandalf will get to it in time.

Looks like war has broken out between ACGHHS and the Deva's. Overt war anyway.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.

I sent this in on the game forum (as I can't seem to post in the other forum) about a week ago, It is 2 PM Christmas eve and I am leaving for the Airport to pick up my wife and her folks. I will stick to the schedule I set down below as I never heard a word to the contrary.

As promised, I got the turn in on Weds, but I am not sure I can get this one in and Chris just has too much to do with us being a guy short.

C'mon guys, this game is NOT my only entertainment, or my whole life. It's Christmas and I have plans, end of story.

I will adhere to my promise below but can't promise any more than that. If you need a sub, I suggest you get one as no one has talked to me about it.

Have a Merry Christmas or whatever it is you celebrate in your own way.:)

Because of the coming arrivals of relatives, I will complete any and all turns that I would receive by Weds 12/23/09.

I could also complete 1 turn received on Monday 12/28/09 with a liberal hosting time and another received Thursday 12/31/09 agian with a liberal hosting time as relatives will be starting their departures.

And starting Sunday 1/3/10 I will be ready to receive another turn and be back on whatever schedule we have decided on.

For me this isn't a poll, I spend most of my home time (as do others), working at me desk OR messing around with the computer (this include turns, turns, turns).

My wife takes this very well and even listens to my tales of woe about this and other games. But Christmas is HER time to plan the family schedule, and as I just got married after a 28 year hiatis I think its fair that once a year (great guy huh!!)she set the schedule.

So for me this isn't a poll, this is how I will divvy up my time until 1/03/10 (But ya know I MIGHT be able to sneak down and get ONE more turn in while she is not looking if need be!!)

As far as the new hosting will go after that I abstain and will go with the majority.

gb- you are right. that's maerlande's whole point. if just a couple people are gone over christmas, its ok to delay the game for everyone. just put a freaking 100h extension on of something. we don't need a ****ing poll to decide whether people are allowed to be gone during christmas

There really is no use going back over this again and again. I already know how you feel on the subject my friend.

Apparently Gandalf had misplaced or did not get my e-mail on the poll results and the holiday hosting schedule. I see that he has taken care of it though and I have sent him another e-mail. Everything is cool. If we can get 1 or 2 turns in sometime between now and January 3rd, well that would be good. If not, well we will just have to deal with it. Again, have a good holiday.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.

Im old. And my mailboxs get ALOT of mail on alot of subjects. An email rolls off pretty fast. Its always best to send me a reminder ON the day you want a change. :)

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.

Agusti is replacing Maerlande at the helm of Kailasa on the Mysterios' team.
