Jaguar - finished, Szumo declared winner

FYI, I'll be cranking out my turn sometime after 10:00 PM, GMT -5, Eastern Standard Time. I'll likely be back at my computer around 11, but I hope to get back earlier this time.

I'm happy with waiting for tomorrow to get my turn out of the way, but if goes faster, I'll be up till 1 AM, and up at eight or ten... Off to work around one.

Mon-Thursday work at 2:00 PM to 10 PM. Friday & Saturday work at 10 AM to 4 PM. Dangnabbit, I wish I checked in before one.

Okay, started! The first turn has 48 hours on the clock in case of problems - after that you're on 24 hours (although later in the game if you all decide you'd like to change to 48 hours let me know).

By the way, you should all remember to check out the webpage, www.llamaserver.net . Saying that, it's a bit up-and-down at the moment, annoyingly (hopefully fixed soon). The webpage is a separate entity from the server itself though, which carries on going regardless.

Scylla the gopher peeked outide her burrow, saw her own shadow, decided to go back down until mid spring. She amuses herself with new minions until then. She hopes mid spring comes early.

Interesting... I see what you said about thematic start positions. Very interesting. I do wonder what those crowns I see scattered across the map are.

Is it possible to resend my turn if I want to point my scout in another direction, and not everybody's sent theirs in yet?

[llamabeast]

Yep, you can resend your turn, and it will use the new version.

Apparently the website is being awful for lots of people. Sorry guys, but don't worry if it's not working, the server itself will be fine regardless.

What's with the website? I got my turn in before it happened, but it seems to have been invaded by ads, with no links to the game.

[llamabeast]

What?! Aaargh!

This is hellish to fix, because every change I make takes time to propagate through the internet (weird eh?), and often reaches other people before me. So it still looks the same for me. It certainly shouldn't be showing adverts and stuff. I've just double checked all the settings, so hopefully that was a blip.

Starshine, if you're still online, would you mind taking another look and telling me if it's still screwed up? If it is I'll have to try something different.

Sorry about all this mess just as your game is starting guys.

Do remember that the server should carry on working regardless of whether the website is working or not. So you can still send your turns in and so on.

[llamabeast]

Well, excellent news - it's not really worth explaining, but I had to wait for an admin to do something for me before I could sort out a permanent solution for the website. He's just done it, so now hopefully all will be sorted - except that it will take a day or two to propagate through the internet (and as a result I can't test it).

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Thanks for the server, thanks for clarifying that thing about sending in turns, and the webpage seems to be up now.

I'm still going to give it everything I've got- but I built my pretender design around a flawed understanding of the Dwarven Hammer. This is going to hurt.

Holy money.

I'm going to be richer than god according to this map. What was indy strength?
