Sheap is still hosting, right? Did anyone ask him to increase the quickhost time?

Whollaborg · #**632** January 25th, 2007, 05:31 PM

I guess Sheap didn't even have time to increase quickhost time as Frank asked it in this thread on tuesday and it seemed to be agreed on wednesday and now it's thursday. Perhaps he's not informed even now?
(I am sending him a pm.)

I find it unreasonable from Frank to complain about the host already without him being able to respond.

Another unreasonable thing is to claim something but not willing to back the big words with deeds:
Perhaps you could give Sheap a bit more time and play just few turns so i could really show you how the beating is to be given as you seem not to be willing to surrender but would like to boast.
If i would have seen this kind of behaviour coming i would have attacked more ruthlessly and without as much caution with the attack to leave you a bit less to build your fantasies upon.

If your behaviour would be accepted we should hear Xox too and accept he's pretenders ascendacy to goodhood.

I'll play to the end whatever the case may be. I know I'm having fun.

But I don't think the 24-hour turns have anything to do with Frank being "Denied". Rather, I suspect its more to do with the fact that Sheap got tired of this game a while ago and hasn't bothered to check this forum for several days. I also know that he's staled most (if not all) of the last 5 turns.

So I suspect he's just not up to par on what's going on with this particular game and he'll extend the turn hosting time once he gets Whollaberg's message.

Then everyone should have enough time to process turns and continue this game if that's what we desire.

Whollaborg · #**635** January 26th, 2007, 05:30 AM

Frankly,
You claim that you could play 73 turns with 24 hours quickhost and when you lost you told you couldn't do it anymore a single turn.
Outrageous!
Furthermore, building false fantasies after cowardly deed annoy us.

Tien Chi's Nexus was down and its gem income was about a half of Vanheims already when you annouced that "you would be the second and run". Vanir, golems, tartareans and devils were taking your provinces around 10 a turn at the time and all the time more and more troops emerged behind your lines by teleporting, and flying. (...and Sneaking trough Maverni provinces by the way)

And in diplomacy you sucked even more,
Both nations of Ctis and Maverni which were already more powerful than your Tien Chi and both had promised to Vanheim to join in the war against Tien Chi. But then of cource your claylegged empire crumbled surprisingly easily and they didn't have to rise an arm.

Now you claim that you beated them, no way!

Please reconsider this and we would be happy.

FAJ · #**636** January 26th, 2007, 05:15 PM

He already staled on a critical turn. There is no way he would bother comming back to this game. Its not worth the effort. I don't think he even cares enough to bother with claiming second place. There are no prizes for winning, and the situation of the game up untill now isn't going to be contested because he staled and everyone ganged up on him.

So, are you argueing that he shouldn't consider himself 2nd or that he shouldn't leave? There no way to to win either of those arguements. He will believe what he wants and he isn't comming back.

I would like to see this game end and another one come up again. I would be interested to see if the outcome would be the same now that everyone isn't a noob anymore.

Whollaborg · #**637** January 26th, 2007, 08:30 PM

No FAJ, I don't believe he would start playing (i am neither attempting to convince him to play).
And he didn't stale the critical turns as those were turns he's position was taken and he's empire was crushed. He only staled when he saw that there was no hope for him left.

Instead of forcing him to "play" i'd like to see him withdraw those outrageous claims he's put up.

I am ready to finish this game if you others are too.

Xox · #**638** January 26th, 2007, 08:59 PM

I am ok with the game going on or with declaring Whollaberg winner. No outrageous claims to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc...

Anything can still happen, I really believe that, with the wild magic and forces available at this stage of the game. On one hand it would be fun to try those out, but on the other hand Whollaberg is definitly in the commanding lead.

Shall we give it to him by acclamation? You have my vote for that or for continuing. Whatever the rest of you want.

Kydorias · #**639** January 26th, 2007, 09:43 PM

If we did continue, it would have to be everyone vs. Whollaborg. I watched several of the huge battles in Anodyr with Tien Chi vs. Vanheim and I know I wouldn't have been able to win against either side.

So if we continue, lets all gang up on horsey-boy. Or if we don't continue, that's fine with me as well.

Sheap · #**640** January 27th, 2007, 05:12 AM

I could have increased the turn timer but was not watching this thread those days. Sorry about that

I feel like a bad host.

What should happen now?

As far as agreeing to an ending, IMO it is more common in games without victory conditions to have to agree to one, otherwise the game drags on indefinitely. At some point, there is simply no point in continuing to play. IMO, if the only nations with a realistic chance of winning agree on a pecking order, then that's good enough. BUT that is no rule, just my perception. What constitutes a "realistic chance of winning" is usually apparent but not possible to define.
