Server: LlamaServer (automated play-by-email, FAQ below)

Hosting interval: Initially 24 hours, 48 at Turn 20, 72 at 50
Age: Early
Graphs: On
Settings: Default except for renaming on, Magic Site at 55(+10%, which tends to mean that people generally get the gems types they need)
Mods: None (non-negotiable)
Map: Random Medium (I'll generate a few and choose home provinces that don't suck)
Players: 8+ (I'll close once 8+ is reached)
Rules: Anything goes. Unless you are hacking files or spamming email, any tactic allowed by the game is considered fair game.

Exception: If you make a Pact with someone, record it in the game thread with the Turn (and record when you end it). If you don't want to record it for any reason (eg. secret pact), then there shouldn't be any complaining about pact-breakers in the game thread.

Lanka - K
Neifleheim - Ossa

This will also be my first time as admin and using llamaserver, so any advice or suggestions are welcome.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

I'd like to sign up Ubercat for EA Mictlan, as he said he was really keen to get in as EA Mictlan next time I hosted a game.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

I'm in, I think I'll give Hinnom a try.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)

Looks like we have our eight. I'll make the map file and email it to llamabeast, then post a message when it is time to mail in pretenders.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

cool http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Okay, the game is set up to accept pretenders.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

We appear to have lost some people.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Yes, that seems to be the case. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Bwaha

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

It looks like we just need Caelum to send in their pretender.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Has anyone PM'd Janim?

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

yawn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Yup. I'll give him a day and then we'll start.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

well then find a replacement. it just a suggestion, but if in sign up this disrepect is shown, what will the game be like? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif Bwaha

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

If you actually want to replace him, I'll play in his stead http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

sorry about the delay, its been a busy weekend. I'll upload my pretender in a moment.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Ok, all pretenders are in. Expect your first turns soon.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Right, game is started! Hope all is well, let me know if there are any problems.

Have a fun game everyone!

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

er.... I think i'm missing the map. Was it posted somewhere?

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Me too!

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

My files are a little wonky so I've asked Llamabeast to post them.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Here it is.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

got it. it works fine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif Bwaha

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Whoo hoo. My markata scout is a Hero!

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Can our secret TienChi person PM me?

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

HELP!!! I keep getting file corrupted when I email my turn!!! I will be gone for about 15 hours today, so I will not be able to do anything with my turn until then. Please delay the turn until we can figure this out?? I went back in to the game and and tried to re-end the turn so maybe I would get a different save. I have never had this happen before and don't know how to fix it, other than zip it to Llama.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

I've postponed the turn.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

jimkehn - have you tried reopening the turn in Dominions and re-ending it? This problem's pretty rare, I think probably the file is actually genuinely corrupted.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Sorry to be so slow answering. Trying to get started harvesting wheat. But to answer your question Llama, yes I did go back into it and try re-ending the game as posted in my original message. If you have an email address, I can try zipping it and mailing it to you via an email address. I know this has worked before in games that were not Dominions.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

OK..reloaded it, made one change, and now it seems to have worked.

Let's roll!!

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

The game is so much more fun when there are fewer players who do their turns. I hate it when you get 20 players, cuz there is always SOMEONE who can't or won't do their turn. Just a word of appreciation for all of you for being prompt.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

hmm can i get a delay of an hour or two?

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Not a problem. 3 hours ok?

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

yeah it was perfect, thanks. I've done my turn now, and it looks like to be one of my last unfortunately http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

doing a last desperate effort to recapture my capital..

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Well this is the fastest game i've played. I'm going down hard and fast but even enjoyed getting my head handed to me because you guys are fast. This has been the best game I've been in. So before I die I say great game, LB http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif ps, I sent all my gems to someone before croaking...

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

I dunno, Bwaha!!! You have handed me my head for the last two battles, now. However I think that will not hold forever. I am bringing my WMD. And another set after that. And then........

Muahahahahahaha!!!!

Anyway....If you DO go under....good game. You dealt me a lotta death!!!!

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

That last post almost killed me. dying from laughter. good post. you stole my thunder. Bwahahahaha. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

I just wanted to do a shout out to Caelum's player janlm.

It's been a good war, and you've been a worthy opponent and a gentleman.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Vanheim has been vanquished, but not without a noble fight. He dealt his conqueror much pain in the process. Nice game, Bwaha. Hopefully next game, we will be closest of allies.

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Thanks, learned a lot. And love this group of gamers, you guys are the fastest players ever...Til next time. Bwahahaha http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

You are all cordially invited to a Hydra barbecue in Mictlan! Come one, come all. You don't have to bring anything...

No takers? Well, don't feel bad. we can't eat this poisoned meat, either.

(hmmm.... what to do with 20 or so giant, rotting, rancid corpses?)

Re: EA DarkParadise (Sign-up)
 

Ouch...Mictlan...You really know how to hurt a guy!!!
