Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Even though I agree Micah was a bit undiplomatic in stating his sentiment on drop outs, I'm saddened when I see 'stfu' comments.

Hope something nice comes your way to bring you merriment http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Well, that was fairly uncalled for. I think that sort of behavior would usually warrant an apology, but I certainly won't be holding my breath for one.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

I disagree.

If you've lost, it's perfectly acceptable to go AI.

Personally, I stick around and go for scorched earth against whoever attacked me second (/me points at R'lyeh), but really, is it sportmanlike to stay in a game when you have 0 chance of winning just to spoil for one or the other remaining players?

Anyway, while it was ungracious to tell Micah to shut up, it was more ungracious of Micah to go after somebody who just lost the game. Good sportmanship means not criticizing the sportsmanship of someone who just lost.

Man is interested in acquiring astral pearls. I have a wide variety of gems to offer in trade as well as magical items.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

I'm not saying what the right way is, but personally I'd much rather my enemies fight tooth and nail to the last man and expect the same. It's not like turns take long when truly have little chance anyway, and if the only way you have fun with dominions is when you win the game, that's a lot different from my perspective.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

DrP:

Is it not being a spoiler in the other direction when you roll over and die when you get into a bad position? Giving your conqueror free license to stomp the AI when the going gets rough is arguably a lot more unbalancing than fighting to the last man intelligently and under player control. Or even the threat of playing intelligently, even if you're not putting effort into the turns beyond 5 minutes of work.

I'm also kind of dumbfounded that you could find my remarks somehow more offensive than the blatant personal attacks that Aezeal made to me.

And if we're going to bring up the larger concept of sportsmanship I'll challenge you to tell me the last time a pro or even college sports team just decided to stop playing. I've seen basketball blowouts with 1 minute to go and one team down 20 points, but they always play out that last minute. It would be a huge scandal if the losing team just decided to walk off the court with time on the clock because they'd "already lost." I'm not saying they'll play 100%, but they don't just walk out either.

Edit:
I was also mostly talking about Ctis when I brought up the AI thing in the first place since I wasn't sure what shape Patala was in. There is a point at which you can't really affect the game any longer, but that's usually after your capital is taken.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Hmm, enough of this, please!

But then I suddenly felt like saying something, sorry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I actually find it more offensive to meet commanders renamed to f3h2, than a player turning AI when it is going bad. Take that Praetorius http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I have actually been tempted to declare war on you just because of your renaming policies http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


I hope that this is settled. I'm not to fond of this whole discussion.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

I do not only have fun when I win, but what I was facing was just way to much, I won't be able to do more than the AI really, and the position I happen to be in I can't even have fun trying to get at a person (which I have been known to do when appropriate) since I just don't have any options.

As I said.. I could just train indie chaff.. the AI can do that too.

I still think your patronizing remarks about me where much more offensive than what I said. You know nothing of my position. I happen to be 28, having an actual live which involves relatively long work hours and driving times and working hours my incredibly hard with quite some responibilities. I play my games till I think can't really do much more than the AI and it's my call not yours when I decide my precious spare time is better spend on another game or the rest of my life.


PS I have not actively set anything to AI since Agri wanted to try and do stuff.

A valiant C'tissian assassin has given his life to destroy the evil Abysian pretender!

C'tis celebrates this victory! C'tis will not go down without bringing a few with them.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

All of Abysia is hoping that their god will return with all arms. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Pretenders who venture into C'tis lands shall be destroyed. Man should prepare a funeral for their Ghost king.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Come, claim your prize; Mordachai waits for you with open arms.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Failure to destroy the Ghost king is shameful! The C'tissian pretender must hold his head low.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Agartha is dead. We salute them. They fought Pythium well, and never gave up. Salud.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Aye I had a lot of fun. Was good stuff.

The game is bugged and I cannot end my last turn. If you all complete your turn and it shows me hanging you up, just force host and it should bump me out.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Doctor Death welcomes all comers, to fight him in a Death Match. Indy's and little enemies are too weak for the good Doctor to countenance.

Please note, the items Doctor Death wears are too important for the Doctor to risk losing. Dr. Death will come stripped to the battle. If he loses.. so be it. But he will not lose any magic items in the battle.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Hmm. That was an interesting battle between Ermor and Marignon. Quite the nail-biter. We wonder if Ermor has anything left?

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Patala will survive until C'tis is destroyed.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

I'm headed out of town Thursday morning and won't be able to get back to my computer until Monday night or Tuesday afternoon. Is there anyway I could get an extension over the weekend?

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

It would be best if you could mail me an email exactly when I should reset the turn timer. I'm quite probably in a different time zone from yours. Preferred would be if you'd just find a temporary sub, if it's more than one reset to the timer.

Otherwise I could turn off the timer completely before you leave - then you'll have to remind me to turn it on again.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

I just got back from the Czech republic and - in a few days, when I sober up - I'd like to resume command, if that is okay with my sub+ally.

A delay over the weekend would be convenient for me to get back up to speed so I wouldn't object.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Is the server down?

Servers are down :(
 

EDIT: See here: http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=610156

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Then I guess we have that hosting delay http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Thanks for hosting, by the way - excellent work, we really do appreciate it.

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Yeah feel free to take back over. I'll PM you the details http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Dude, D, you really didn't have to kill Gandalf's server to get your hosting delay. =)

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Ph34r my 1337 skillz!

Re: Servers are down :(
 

WHAT! WHY DID YOU DO THAT? FRIK DOOD...

what nation do you play again? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Perhaps we could find a new hosting server, if Gandalf's is down for a while. I cannot host, since my Mac is unreliable when playing Dominions, but I think Velusion has some slots available on his server, if he is willing. I haven't asked him, but I think he would probably be willing to host.

Re: Servers are down :(
 

I imagine that the files necessary to host the game are on gandalfs crashed computer so I don't think we would be able to transfer to another host...I think we're just gonna have to wait this one out.

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Gandalf has another, older machine that I have access to, which could be used for hosting, but without the game data this can't be done.

Re: Servers are down :(
 

no ETA on this issue? should we scrap the game and re-create?

Re: Servers are down :(
 

I declare team Argatha/Ermor victorious!

Re: Servers are down :(
 

I declare patala victorious

Re: Servers are down :(
 

I would rather not scrap it, I was really enjoying it. Let's give it a few more days.

Re: Servers are down :(
 

YAY WE WIN!

Re: Servers are down :(
 

ok so we have an agreement..

VICTORY!!

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Hey lch,

So, is this game dead for sure now? No chance of resurrection? I guess it would be difficult to round up all the players again anyway.

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Gandalf will eventually get his computer up and running and the files will be recovered I imagine...but that could be a long time from now. We should probably officially call this game over so people feel free to take on another game if they feel like it. This game was going pretty good and was quite fun....but I'm not sure how much I'd want to start it up again after a month or more of not playing it.

Re: Servers are down :(
 

Pity. But it was educational. I learned a bit about LA Atlantis and a bit about PoD's that might be useful.

I still haven't played the late game in MP (for which I'm almost thankful http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif )

Edit: Oops. Posted from JK's account.

The server is back
 

The server is back up. Since it's about one month and a half after it went down, I'll ask very cautiously if people want to continue playing this game or if you have already moved on?

I know that KO is on vacation right now, at any case.

Re: The server is back
 

Hell yeah I'd like to! R'yleh is pretty fun.

Re: The server is back
 

I would like to continue. Micah might be harder to convince though.
