Gath

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

I would like to join as Pythium, please.

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

I'd like to play Utgard please

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

That'll work really well with Dead Seas. You won't even have to worry about your dominion effects! ;)

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

I think signing a pledge is silly. I'm more than happy to abide by the rules enumerated in it regarding going AI and not just leaving the game to stales as well as the other ones in this game's OP.

If that's good enough, then I'd be happy to play.

Jazzepi

LA Mictlan

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

@Ossa: The seas will be dead, so no R´lyeh.

@Jazzepi: I understand, that signup rule is primarily to make people think twice before signing up. You´re a well known old player here so that´s certainly good enough.

I´m holding slots for the two of you which means that we need just one more to go, I´ll get the game up for pretenders this afternoon.

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

Game is up. You may if you wish start uploading pretenders while we wait for our last player to sign up.

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

Marignon please.

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

I'll take Abysia.

Jazzepi

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

On second thought I may not have time for a blood nation. I'll take Patala instead.

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

I was thinking about playing but it looks like zzcat just took the last spot....

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - recruiting!
 

@Ironhawk:So it seems, Ossa has yet to chose his nation. I´m not entirely sure if he wants to play so I´ll pm you if he drops out.

Ok so then we are full, initiate your foul planning of malicious conspiracies.

Edit:Someone has uploaded a pretender for Atlantis, I assume this is Ossas choice of nation but I´d like him to confirm.

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - Upload pretenders!
 

Moderator: Will you be using fixed starts, and the fixed version of the map? The distribution of territories if not on parganos is pretty .. well .. awful.

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - Upload pretenders!
 

K, just let me know if you need me

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - Upload pretenders!
 

@Chrispedersen: Yes we are using llamas fixed version with fixed starts and dead seas.

@Ironhawk:Ossa has decided to play as Atlantis, you will be welcome in future games.

Re: Zebra - LA CBM - Upload pretenders!
 

Just waiting for Ghoul31 to get his pretender in now, hopefully we´ll start tomorrow.

Re: Zebra - running
 

hey guys,

I'm going out of town on Wednesday next week.
I've already posted for a sub a few days ago - I have one possible, but he won't be getting *into* town until tuesday. Other than that, I haven't had even one bite...

This is just an FYI - Anybody *know* anyone?

Re: Zebra - running
 

My computer died so I wont be playing anymore

Re: Zebra - running
 

Sorry to hear that Ghoul31. Did you try to find a Sub?

I guess I´ll try then...

Re: Zebra - running
 

Looking at the graphs, I find it very unlikely that someone would like to take over Gath at this point so I´ll find someone to set it AI.

Re: Zebra - running
 

I decided to get a new computer. Can you delay the game for a couple of days?

Re: Zebra - running
 

I suppose I could, but I´d rather you found a temporary sub. Since I stated no delays in signup conditions I´d like some second opinions.

Re: Zebra - running
 

DOH!!!!!!


Hey Fantomen - generally, I try to bend over for players, its a game, we're all people, life happens. I'd rather delay a couple of days and let ghoul play - please see my comments in private however.

Re: Zebra - running
 

If there is no angry playermob showing up with pitchforks and sharpened sticks to lynch me, well then I´m going to consider Ghouls computer crash a force majoure and grant him the delay.

You´ve got two days then Ghoul, hope thats enough. I made a request for a temporary sub and if someone steps up I´m going to let him do a couple turns rather that postponing.

Re: Zebra - running
 

I´m absolutely positive I postponed the game, but something seems to have gone wrong. I appologize to Ghoul31 for this, sorry.

Re: Zebra - running
 

i agree with chrispedersen. I hate delays too but a day or too per person for unforseen delays seems reasonable.

Re: Zebra - running
 

I won't mind if we roll back to previous turn:p

Re: Zebra - running
 

Received an "unexplainable increase of wealth" message from host:(. Bug reported.

Re: Zebra - running
 

That´s fairly common, ignore it.

Re: Zebra - running
 

The people of Abysia have set torch fires to the evil empire of Pythium! Their multi-headed hydras have spread far and wide, but we will help cleanse the scourge of their evil from the lands!

Jazzepi

Re: Zebra - running
 

With the unprovoked attack by Atlantis upon the peaceful giants of the north, the benevolent lords of Mictlan are forced to take steps towards putting the aquatic beast to sleep. The exiled fish are yet to learn that their warlike ways are not tolerated above the waves!

Re: Zebra - running
 

The nation of Utgard thanks the honorable and wise emperor of Mictlan.

Re: Zebra - running
 

I'm going camping this weekend. Leaving tomorrow morning. Can we have a hold on the game till I get back Sunday? I'll be able to do my turn ASAP around 1-2pm EST.

Jazzepi

Re: Zebra - running
 

Since we´ve passed turn 20 and the game has been almost free of delays so far, it seems to me a break over the weekend wouldn´t harm.

I´ll set the timer to sunday 1700 after next hosting (tomorrow 9:37am), unless Jazzepi gets that turn in before leaving of course.

Re: Zebra - running
 

The benevolent mictlani seek a hammer, an earth hammer to be precise. Inquire within!

Re: Zebra - running
 

We also seek skull caps!

Re: Zebra - running
 

I am without power for the last 12 hours or so; and into the indefinite future. I need to ask for a delay.

Fant, if you don't mind keeping an eye on it, if the time gets down to 6 hours or so, and I haven't submitted a turn, can you delay for 12 or 24 hours?

Best

Re: Zebra - running
 

no power huh? Why don't you just forge a Tome of High Power? Watch out for the horror mark though...

Re: Zebra - running
 

Science: =P

Hey guys today (sunday) is my son's birthday - and I'm heading out of town for 24 hours.

Can we increase the timer to 48 hours? If not may I ask for a 24 hour extension on the turn?

Oh: And congratulations Patala - I have #no# idea how I'm going to stop you.

Re: Zebra - running
 

Ok, timer extended by 26 hours.

24h is still ok for me, but if it is too fast for some of us then maybe it´s time to slow down. What do you others think?

Since we are only six players now I´ll change to 48 if two or more players wants it.

Edit: And congratulations to your son Chris! How old is he? My daughter got seven just yesterday.

Re: Zebra - running
 

After you have grabed a lot of provinces from me and magic dueled a couple of my thugs(the cloud trapezing sorceresses are really nasty)? I think you means "to destroy you" instead of "to stop you"...

BTW: Happy Birthday to your son:)

@all other nations: Would anyone be willing to see Mictlan conquer the world? With twice as many provinces than any other nation AND perfect magic diversity(sorceress) AND blood stones(god), few can stand his way if we would give him the chance to defeat us one by one...

Re: Zebra - running
 

i'm fine with a specific delay if anyone needs it, but I think I would prefer a 24 hour time-frame for now. Maybe that's just because my empire is so small though...

Re: Zebra - running
 

Awwww thanks guys - really appreciate it..
He turned 9.

And he *loves* wargames - and dominions. Daddy has to kick him off the computer to get a turn in =-)

Re: Zebra - running
 

Guys, there is somethign seriously bugged going on in this game.

for 3 of the last 4 turns I have submitted, llamaserver has gotten my orders - and ignored them.

None of my armies move. None of my mercenaries pay upkeep.
So for example, despite the fact that I paid upkeep for Nergal - he is now unemployed, and the money is in my treasury.

None of my remote summons are cast.

My commanders that were ordered to move did not.

I equipped mages with blood slaves - didn't happen.
Moved magic items around - nothing again.

Mages that were ordered to go from defense to research did not. I am willing to forward my turns to an independent so they can verify

Re: Zebra - running
 

****.

has anyone experianced anything like this before?

Re: Zebra - running
 

@Chrispedersen:Sorry to hear that. Now some of your remotes went through at least. I was attacked by two horrors last turn, and that army in your fort sure as hell grew a lot indicating a gateway or massive recruitment.

This makes me guess that you have made revised turns to complete your orders that Llamaserver ignored, yes? Correct me if I am wrong.

This problem has arisen recently with llamaserver, I´ve had it as well as several others. You get the confirmation email, but your orders are ignored. Very annoying.

Other commands that has been ignored have been timer changes and postponing of turns.

Llamabeast has no access to his creation at the moment so the best we can do is to complete all our orders before sending in the first turn file.

The other problems has been dealt with by simply repeating the command, I guess you could send your revised turn file a few times over a few hours to make sure it goes through.

Re: Zebra - running
 

I am now changing the timer to 48h. Not because I really want to, I actually think the timer is often changed too early for my tastes. But it seems appropriate to minimize the current agony caused by the increasing bugginess of llamaserver.

For now try to get all orders right in your first turn file and double check the status page for hosting times and to confirm your turns have been accepted.
