Please can you let me know if you get any quirky behaviour going on at all? One of the players in the other game on the llamaserver had it reject one of her 2h files, even though there was nothing wrong with it. If anyone else has had anything similar, please let me know.

In fact in general, please please please report any quirky things at all, even any spelling errors in the e-mails it sends out, or if you think any of the e-mails are less clear than they could be. It would be great to have all the basic running of the server completely smooth before I open it up to more games (I'm planning to allow other people to admin games on it, so there may end up being a large number of games going without me even necessarily being involved).

All the turns are in. Is it not hosting?

Ahem. I turned the hosting off while I altered some code, and I appear not to have turned it back on again. Sorry about that.

Being as the website (not the server itself, in fact) was down a day or two back, I thought I'd just make a general comment about how the llamaserver works.

It'll _always_ check its e-mail before it hosts a turn. What that means is that if you e-mail it your turn in time, you can be sure that you won't stale, even if either the website or the server are down. It's not like a direct connect game where you can't take your turn if the host's computer is down.

Having said that I think the website going down was quite unlucky and hopefully will be a rare occurrence. And the llamaserver should in principle never go down, unless I do something stupid. Which I do fairly often, unfortunately.

Out of curiosity, if I were looking for someone to whom I would give all my gems and items - who feels they are in a good position to fight a successful war with Marignon and Pangaea? Right now I'm inclined to give all my treasures to Man, but whoever is on Marignon's southern border (or across the southern sea) is also a prospect.

If you are looking to give away items, you could give them to me. Although we have fought, I was always forthright about my position, and even when things looked grim, did not switch to what looked to be the winning side-you and man.

Also this is my 1st mp game, and i need all the help i can get.

Marignon will likely kill me next(: As any other opponent will require him to switch continents.

Arcoscephale shares the southern continent with Caelum, we also have a small outpost on the tip of the continent to our north. There were some strange little goblin creatures that attacked our lands briefly but our elephants seemed to delight in cleaning their feet on them. We think we killed their pretender but it was such a pathetic creature we are still not sure if it was actually a pretender.

We relish the idea of a surplus of gems, our astrologers will put them to good use in divining the fortunes of Arcoscephale.

May the heavens grant your nation a kindly fate.

Greetings from the head of the Marignon Insurgent Mafia, a (normally) covert organisation determined to bring down Marignon from within.

For some time now, the trading operations of Marignon have been firmly under the control of our organisation. As such, we can _guarantee_ that, if you send your gems and items to Marignon, you will in fact be weakening them from within.

Without a doubt, we are the best possible recipients for your gems. The rulers of Marignon will never see the threat coming!
