Re: Helheim on the March
 

Of course, not a problem. I'll reset it at 50hrs, but it would be good if everyone could still get their turns in by tomorrow night.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

We're just waiting on Kailasa now. Foodstamp, are you with us?

Re: Helheim on the March
 

I will start working on my turn asap. Been pretty busy this week with it being finals week.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

I hope your finals went well, then!

Re: Helheim on the March
 

I got my last score back this evening. I had a very good semester http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Turn is in btw.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Good work! I'm sure playing Dom3 helped a ton - I heard it was worth a full 1 in GPA! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Two new globals went up this turn... one was Abysia's Looming Hell, a delightful defensive arrangement which no-one could possibly have any problem with. The other was Forge of the Ancients, from Atlantis, again.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

You know what? I would gladly swap that FotA for a global that made mages follow scripts no matter what. My province defense plans where excellent but then the AI overrules them... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Well, at least your mind duel worked this time. :/

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Yea, there is that I suppose, rulebook must be wrong, when theres a tie both mages must survive.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Reset server to 50hr qh. Sorry, but I'm in my first 'month close' on my first accounting job, I'm afraid the next 3 days are gonna be ugly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

From the worthy heros mod creator. Just pointing it out as we are using the mod!

Personally, I have nothing against heros with 2 heads... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Thanks for the heads up - I guess we'll wait for Turin's fix before we move over to 3.08

request for delay
 

Could i have a 24hr delay? Like a pinhead i patched for another game without backing up and now i can't find my disk and key to install a second version.

Re: request for delay
 

Sure thing. I was going to have a very hard time getting my turn in tonight anyhow.

Re: request for delay
 

I found my disk and managed to fix the problem. I see that you reset, but it's not nessicary on my account after all. Sorry to be a bother.

Re: request for delay
 

No worries. Right now it looks like I'm going to have a hard time getting my turn in tonight anyhow. Worst case, I should finish it by early tomorrow (PDT)

Re: request for delay
 

So we're still playing the current turn in 3.06 then, right?

Re: request for delay
 

Always try to do your turn with 3.06, if the server has been updated to 3.08 it will not let you. This is a foolproof way of not crashing the server and having to redo your orders.

Now I just need to heed my own advice... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Your shores have been attained. Care to come out of the water for this discussion? Or do I have to come root you out of it?

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Drats, the timing! Our welcoming committee is off visiting the halls of Atlantis and sharing gifts with the Basalt Kings there. Please rest assured though that your visit is very important to us and you will be met by the next available greeters.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

My 6 Basalt kings and Basalt Queen stode out to meet our 100's of watery foes, after the briefest exchange of gifts the R'lyeh decieded it was time to be elsewhere.

Of course we will seek to exchange pleasentaries again, soon, very, very soon...

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Um... 4 hours till hosting? Was there a turn timer mix-up?

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Looks like the timer has gone mad, almost as if Middle-way and blood bath's timers have swapped around?!?

Anyway 3 hrs to do your turn... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Didn't I mention, we were going to do the late game as a hyper-blitz! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

OK, my bad, sorry about that! Yesterday I reset the timer to make sure it didn't host before the evening. I've reset the timer to 50 hrs now.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Heads up, Helheim, you have 3 hrs to get your turn in!

Re: Helheim on the March
 

For the sake of Meglobob and myself, I've reset the server clock. Even though I set it back to 50hrs, I'm still hoping we can all get our turns in in the next 12 hrs (i.e. by this evening, say around 8pm, PDT - GMT-7).

Edit:
I changed my mind, I reset the clock to 13hrs, I'll reset it to 50hrs after we host. (And I'll remember to set back to 50 for sure, this time!)

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Sorry, another extension for myself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif But I will get the turn done before I go to sleep tonight!

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Note to self: Don't give free reign to nature casters, lest they cast mass protection on your fire-proof army while a firestorm is up.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Aaah, good one! I'll be sure to remember that!

Re: Helheim on the March
 

In my experience so far nature mages are the ones you least want following their own instincts in battle, another favorite of theirs is enraging your archers or mages...

Re: Helheim on the March
 

....or spewing poisonous breath all over the place with a short range. Yep, the greenies can't be trusted to think for themselves.

Re: Helheim on the March
 

I am playing Santa Clause this turn. Who has been naughty and who has been nice?

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Trollz bin very nice, not squish any monkyes!

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Define nice?

Also, are you a woman? Cause if so I can be very nice...

Re: Helheim on the March
 

I am not a woman, but in a sense, this is a roleplaying game.

So.... "I take off my wizard hat and robe."

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Oh, my god, the hat too? ... how could I possibly resist you taking off your hat?...

Consider me very nice for the time being...

(I do hope you have a long white beard for me to play with though? Else it would spoil the hat-taking-off image. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Re: Helheim on the March
 

Hehe, I am guessing you never heard of bloodninja and his crazy escapades in the online chat rooms. Here is a clicky . But be warned, the link is not for the feint of heart. The wizard hat and robe bit are featured in the first and last sequence on the page http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Bloodninja
 

It has been a long time since I read them. My all time favorite line from all of them is...

Re: Bloodninja
 

Sorry, but I'm giving myself a 26hr extension. I just got back from work an hour ago, and I have no hope of getting my turn in tonight.

We might want to consider going to 72hr turns - I've gotten to the point where it's difficult to get in my turn every time around.

Re: Bloodninja
 

I have no objection to extending the timer. While I don't need it quite yet, I probably would be asking for it in a couple of turns time myself.

Re: Bloodninja
 

Actually, I did read that one before, foodstamp, but it apparently had sunk quite deep into my memory, as I didn't make the connection. The Rhino and especially the 250pd guy I remembered better, the rest are new to me. (So thanks Ich, for expanding my horizon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )

Re: Bloodninja
 

Sorry, but I've reset the server to 50hrs again. I just can't see how I'll be able to get to my turn before Sat morning.

I'm open to having my position replaced, if that'll help get this game rolling again.

Re: Bloodninja
 

Well, if this is just a busy week for you, and setting the game to 72h will solve the problem for you afterwards, I at least se no problem. (And it would be a shame to replace one of the bigger powers in the game)

If, on the other hand you think you just won't be able to find the time anymore for a game this size.... well, that's your call then I'd say.

Re: Bloodninja
 

I am in favour of moving to 72 hr quickhost.

Nah, Hellboy just keep playing, we all knew this would be a long game when we started. If you can't do your turn just extend the timer.

Re: Bloodninja
 

The pace of this game has slowed considerably since I joined as a replacement. I would like to withdraw so that someone else can take my place.

72 hour quickhost without e-mail notification is simply too long for me.

Jazzepi

Re: Bloodninja
 

What's up Hellboy?

Re: Bloodninja
 

Time for me to bow out, I think. I'm sorry, but work + personal obligations have changed radically since I started this game. Plus this is a very complex position, and that combined with my relative inexperience has meant that turns are now taking me a very long time to complete.

For those considering the position, I would describe it as one of the stronger nations in the game, but well behind that of the leading nation, Helheim. T'ien Ch'i has significant resources to spend at I'm just at the peak of a long buildup of research/resources. I'll be happy to brief any player taking over in detail, via PM or email.

Jazeppi, if I'm the only one holding the game to 72hrs, you might consider sticking around. However, this is the end game on a very huge map, so one should expect that the large nations will have very complex and difficult turns.

Re: Bloodninja
 

My position is pretty hopeless. Once the game hosts again, I am going to set myself to AI rather than give someone a position that is on it's deathbed.

Thanks for the game, was a lot of fun. I made several mistakes including making too many friends too early and having no end game strategy. In retrospect, I don't really like Kailasa at all and I probably won't be playing them again for a while.
