Re: Kingmaker
 

7 AM, too early to go to walmart and buy some drinks. Common fridge per floor in dormitory also des not help. So I'm waiting for a turn without anything to drink http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Kingmaker
 

7am i am usually putting a dent in the 1st pot of coffee.

An iron blows a fuse in your flat LLamabeast? I am assuming you do not even own an iron. See this is what happens when you have roommates, and you neglect to tell them the RULES.

Rule number 1. roommates may have as many overnight "guests" as they please, but they shall not become permanent fixtures around the apartment, and certainly will not begin to bring their "baggage" irons and such with them for their overnight visits.

Rule Number 2. roommates shall not drink any cold beer in the Fridge that is not their own without the express permission of said owner. Nothing worse than arriving home after a hard day's work, thinking about nothing but getting home and having an ice cold beer, then opening the front door and seeing a lot of empty beer cans on the living room floor. Murder has been done for less!

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

No turn file here either. Presumably it is a universal problem.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

It's about time that we should all lose our calm and panic.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

we have an extra day still pretty early in the game. So I am not worried-yet.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Yes, request for resend did not work for me either. It appears we are all turnless.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Okay, fixed! Hopefully you all will have just received your turns.

It seems that the iron-related poweroff happened _during_ KingMaker's hosting. Freaky. So the server did the bit where it increases the turn number and stuff, but didn't finish the bit where it actually hosts.

You're right Xietor, I don't own an iron, it was indeed a pesky housemate. If I have anything to do with it they won't own an iron either now, being as it turns off everything in the house when it's plugged in.

Impeccable timing on the switch to 48 hours by the way!

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Elephant burger run out. Now Utgard have to eat crunchy Ermorians. No meat on them! Argghhh!!!!

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

I was considering an alliance (as far as an alliance could go when neither member knows where the other is) with Utgard, but this might hurt that idea. You see, the MA Ulmish are quite meaty (though also tough, and possibly crunchy since many live almost their entire lives with armor on). Who wants an ally prone to eating your warriors? Not MA Ulm, at least.

Well, at least Utgard isn't Hinnom, whose Rephaim have a nasty reputation for just popping people into their mouths, clothes and all. No offense to Hinnom, of course; the Rephaim are otherwise quite nice fellows, once you get past their habit of gruesome and horrible feasts on humans, some of whom are sometimes still living. So, at least, I've heard.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Don't worry about offending Hinnom. They are almost deceased, courtesy of the friendly neighborhood Lankans.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Just be afraid of offending Lanka, evil devil-worshipping monkeyspawn! :O Or is it evil monkey-worshipping devilspawn? I always get those two mixed up.....

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Hmm, EA Ulm wouldn't be good eats, we're too hairy, and manly to boot, we'd get our loin cloths all up in your mizzle, fizzle.

We also take lessons in street.

Word.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

EA Ulm all manly to boot? That's strange, last time we saw your troops they featured mostly female archers.

...on the other hand, if EA Ulmish women are all manly to boot and hairy, we probably don't want to know.

Word indeed.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

I am looking for a sub to cover my turns while I am away on my honeymoon.

Whoever wants to sub for me (Helheim) I will need you to sub from July 4th to July 12th, which should encompass four turns or so.

Thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Fortunately for you Foodstamp, your honeymoon falls over the 4th of July holiday. so you will not miss as many turn as you otherwise would.

Game will be paused July 4, 5, and 6.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Paused? Could you at least keep the quickhost on, in case people get their turns in? We already had a big holiday (summer equinox) go past without anyone complaining.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

I certainly will leave quick host on.

And I do understand that not every nation gets as excited about 4th of July as we Americans, but it is a big holiday for us, and indeed for all people that live under the Rule of Law.

If there is some holiday of special significance to a group of nations like Europe, let me know in advance. I know from Alpaca that we cannot pause the game for every British holiday because they seem to have one every other weekend.

/tease llamabeast.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Well that's the thing, no one complained. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif (I personally actually care more for such observations, than other arbitrary "holidays", but meh)

Unfortunately for the rest of the world though, the 4th of July is a really big deal in the US. We have to take the chance to celebrate ending the oppression of our British masters, so that we could turn our attention back to oppressing the original inhabitants of this wondrous continent.

So now I guess we're kind of conflicted about the whole thing..... Instead of just throwing a party, we feel compelled to blow things up. My therapist says we were traumatized, and until we understand our buried feelings for our abusive father, we'll continue to take out our aggressions on less advantaged nations. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

To me personally the 4th is much more than our freedom from the British, who I now view as our closest friend.

The 4th stands to as a monument to the Rule of Law, where the individual has the right to life, liberty, and property, that cannot be deprived without due process of law. And that right is one the United States has tried to safeguard for all humans. We opposed Nazi oppression and South Africa's former regime, to name a couple of worthy causes.

Obviously the United States has not been perfect in its pursuit of this goal(thanks George W Bush), but we have over the course of our history done much to further human rights worldwide. At least i like to think so. And it is in this spirit that we celebrate the 4th of July.

Out of respect for this game thread, and for you Xietor, I will refrain from pursuing the socio-political discussion arising from my cynical humor. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Haha, it was nothing against the British, I had hoped that part would come across as tongue in cheek. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif I most definitely have more ire for my own nation, and how it is being led astray - than anyone else. But that is neither here nor there, I was just poking a little fun at America's pride and patriotism, and I should have known that it never goes unchallenged, even by the innocent. <3

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

hmm... will the game be paused on danish holidays as well then?

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

What about us welsh? eh? eh?...

Just kidding, we really don't have many holidays...well, Saint Davids day, but that's not so much a holiday as it is...

"HEY EVERYONE! WEAR A LEEK AND SMELL LIKE *** FOR A DAY!"

Yeah...

Anyway, about ulmish women being hairy, I dislike that, it may be true but I still dislike it, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

It is not clear whether there are any Abysian women, but the warlocks maintain that should they exist, they are certainly hairless.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

In Utgard, the only women are captured Arcosphaleans. We don't seem to be able to reproduce with them and wonder why they have names like Lance and Apollo etc. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

As I so eloquently stated, 4th of July is really a holiday for everyone who values the rule of law!

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

No bites yet Xietor? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Oh yeah what about us Aussies! 26th of January, for everyone who values the rule of *insert typical Australian stereotype here*.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

I think most people like Fosters Lager. If you can find out when the brewing of the worthy beverage commenced, we could do some sort of honorarium.

Continuing about women of the various nations
 

MA Ulm certainly has women. How many, though, is unknown; they, like the rest of Ulm's population, spend their time in suits of armor that cover pretty much everything. For all we know, every Black Knight currently serving Ulm is female. For all we know, actually, every MA Ulman in the army could be a woman (Ulwoman?). The world may never know.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Personally, I prefer to celebrate the overthrow of the rule of law on Bastille day. During the 10 days between July 4th and Bastille day, I ceremonially refrain from commiting any felonies.

Then, out comes the Guillotine!

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Yeah, it means "every male." E.g. 2 Kings 2:9, 1 Sam 25:22, 34.

Ditto on both points. I was pretty hostile to Britain as a kid because of the whole War for Independence thing, but as I grew up I realized that was silly. Britons are our cousins. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Dr Wyrm? Say it ain't so? Another of the Early HOF pretenders bites the dust.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

Yes, I blame this on playing too many games as Mictlan. The Marignon heavy infantry are the same color as Jaguar Warriors, and they cost about the same amount, so I thought they might be similarly effective. Sadly, that is not the case, and Dr. Wyrm was had to face too many fish-men for too long.

Still, I think my nation has a decent position. Despite our disastrous foreign adventure, we have a strong web of alliances and treaties, which I am sure will keep my neighbors from devouring me like a school of piranhas.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
 

I am sure if you toss a few astral gems our way the Sybils would counsel Ruin to refrain from crushing you underfoot while you are in the process of recalling your Wyrm. Does 10 f 10 s sound about right?
