Schlitzohr - running, 36h QH
 

After the Frechdachs game is finished (with Dimaz being the Winner, playing Ulm), I am planing to host a new game called "Schlitzohr". I am trying to stay in line with the last one. So, few option will change:

• Aran map
• 20 VPs on the map, 11 to win
• Independents: 3
• Magic Sites: 60
• Common Events
• Normal research
• Richness: 2
• 15 HOF entries
• Starting Provinces: 1
• Renaming Allowed
• Master PW set
• We start with 24h QH
• Conceptual Balance Mod 5.2 ( Link )

The map says a maximum player number of 10, so that is what I am aiming at.

• Bluebird - Machaka
• OG_Gleep - Marignon
• Reverend Zombie - C'tis
• Folket - Mictlan
• KissBlade - R'leyh
• WraithLord - Arco
• Cainehill - Ermor
• The_Tauren13 - Pangaea
• Morkilus - Abysia
• Shovah - Ulm

House rules: death themes are allowed, but have to be announced before (and make sure that you can keep you neighbors under control, as most don't like it)

Hostname: zoo.in-zueri.ch Port: 8193

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I would like Marignon, if I could.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

C'tis, if I may, please.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I would like to play as Mictlan.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Ryleh please.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I would like to play Arco.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Ermor - non death theme http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Pangaea

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

The last one was fun... I'll take Abysia.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

if i get killed very quickly in my current game (the winnowing) i would like to sign up as ulm/jotun

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I'll take caelum

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

put me down as tienchi

edit: i think the game is already full, upon further inspection. if there's room, i'll play, otherwise, no worries.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Wow! That game filled up fast http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Sorry Wish_for_Blood_Slave and Castigated ... as always it is first post, first serve.

Shovah: make yourself clear if you really want to play (I won't wait until things resolve in Winnowing), otherwise I would let Wish_for_Blood_Slaves in.

As for everybody else: I am planning to set up the server today, then you can upload pretenders. Please upload you pretender until Friday night (CET). I will start the server then or as soon as everyone has uploaded the pretender.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

ok im in and indep 3 means i wont get extreme losses

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Well ... your losses won't be extreme until you bump into one of the other players :-P

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

looks like i was last to load... can we start?

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

im going to be away until sunday afternoon, can we hold off starting?

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I will start the game, but set QH to 72h, ok ?

Schlitzohr is running, waiting for your first turn.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

ok

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

cool

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

IM BACK PEOPLE (and my turns in)

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

just waiting for pan

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

yup, and feel free to return to 24h

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

tauren get your turn in

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Ooh, look who's all impatient now.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

lol, i wasnt exactly away for a long time

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Back to 24h QH ..

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I hope that The_Tauren13 still shows up ... he has not said anything about being late for the turn ... I hope we do not have a stall player from the start of the game. If that is true, I am for a new start, as I don't like players on AI.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

the taurens turn is in

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

turns up (again)

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

New turn, and Pangaea staled.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

*sign*

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

turns up, and i have encountered the vile mictain scum on my borders

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

With this three day weekend coming up, it is unlikely that I will be able to play any turns until this time on Tuesday...
So, if you want to pause the game, that would be great. And there is always the possibility I might make a turn somewhere along the way.
But if not, dont sweat it. Im accustomed to staling these days... damn comcast not offering cable in my area...

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Tom_Scudder has just e-mailed me and told me that his laptop got fried and he hopes that he will be back online next Monday. Because of this and Pangaea's stale turn and Tauren13, I will disable the timeouts for the game so we play on QH only over the weekend (with probably no turns).

It looks like the game will be a slow one, but I assume that it will eventually become an exiting adventure. Sorry for everybody who had expected a faster-paced game.

I am planning to switch back to 36h QH on Monday evening (CET).

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

and ygorl will be taking my place for a week

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

haha I encountered like two players right off in the beginning and I'm in the ocean. =)

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Ok, changed to 36h QH again. Hope that Tom_Scudder gets his problems fixed by then.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I have received the following mail from Tom Scudder:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>Argh. Laptop has been downgraded from "fried" to "would you like me to set up
your internal hard disk as an external drive for your new computer?" It's
going to take another week or so to get the new machine - you'd better just
find permanent replacements for me (or AI me) in my games.</pre><hr />

Anybody who want to replace Tom Scudder, please mail me. I have got no idea about his current status, so it will be a suprise for you.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

OG_Gleep will take over for Tom, so I have mailed him the password. Thanks OG_Gleep, and I hope that the game will run a little faster in the future.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I have no idea what diplomatic relationships Tom had established. I think I contacted everyone, if I forgot someone, PM me plz. I will honor any prior agreement Tom had made, and am interested in establishing peaceful arangements with my neighbors.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

just pan to go

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Argl - what a game. Machaka is horrible, I will never play them again ;-)

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

you've not heard the horrors of Ryleh ...

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

im actually quite fond of the little squid guys (and im going to hate myself for saying this but a machakan blind spam is amazing)

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

I am fond of them too but So far, I've lost my first starspawn to a horror, second one had S2 scripted to cast return, only to lose his mind and get attacked AFTERwards. And to add, tritons decided to liberate my province. You'd think luck 3 implies ... luck ...

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

are you using the priest starspawns? they are the only ones iirc with a summoning bonus

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

Yes, I'm using the priests. Which is why it's even more insulting, I finally get a s2 and it crazies on me.

Re: Schlitzohr - Aran map - open for players
 

which is one of the reasons the chalice is probably one of the best artifacts for ryleh because can let your mages get very high summoning lvls. the other is that knights cant attack underwater can they?
