And so the world is rid from an unspeakable menace from beyond, and the golden age under the wise and farseeing leadership of Sankriss, God of Invincible Power, He Who Is at the Center, Prince of Excellence, Bringer of Misfortune, God of Patience draws ever closer.

The surviving population of the sadly demised nation will be given the opportunity to give a positive meaning to their existence, and will be allowed to join the construction crews who will be erecting great Ziggurats in honor of The Divine One. Those who prove hardy enough to adapt to the live in our hot and humid swamps are surely greatly blessed, and will be allowed to serve the Priests of C'tis until the day of their death.

Heh? When did the hosting time change back to an earlier hour from 23.00 GMT? Here I was, playing my turn in no particular rush, and then manage to send it in 15 minutes after hosting, thinking I had 2 hours to spare

(yeah, yeah, I know, I could have paid attention to the mails delivering my turns, I know. I just hadn't expected the hour to change without announcement. Does this program actually following the quickhosting procedure? I was convinced it didn't do that, and only hosted at the appointed time. )

Luckily this wasn't the most crucial time to stale a turn, though it's allways annoying of course. But in any case I'd like to request a few hours extension on next turn (23.00 GMT again should do I guess), since I won't be able to play my turn in the early evening tomorrow.

It's a genuine quickhost. I guess maybe that hasn't been noticeable because a couple of nations have been staling for most of the game. Sorry it caused you to stale.

Amhazair · #**264** July 31st, 2007, 06:46 PM

Ah, well... it happens.

Besides, I should give my poor fellow players some chance, right?

Meglobob · #**265** July 31st, 2007, 06:46 PM

Should we perhaps move the game to permanent 48hr quickhost? Its near turn 50 now, hard to do your turn every 24hrs without fail.

We have done great so far, fastest game ever, no need to spoil it with stales in the end game.

Amhazair · #**266** July 31st, 2007, 06:52 PM

You're right, it has gone fast. Might have something to do with the crowded map, maybe? Or not. Anyhows, I won't object to 48h, though until now I haven't had troubles with the pace, so for now either way is fine with me.

Also: G'night, mateys! My hammock is calling me.

Valerius · #**267** July 31st, 2007, 07:11 PM

Ok, turn 47 hosting has been delayed four hours to 23:55 GMT Wednesday.

It seems reasonable to go to 48 hour quickhost. If no one objects I'll make the change for turn 48.

Kristoffer O · #**268** July 31st, 2007, 09:28 PM

I'm for 48 quickhost. My vacation is about to end.

I find myself spending about 2 h on a turn. Probably because I still have vacation, but I don't think I could get them down below 1 h, unless I rushed them through. I might be a bit of a micromanager, but still ...

How do people manage to play more than one or two games at the same time by the way? Don't people have better things to do than play dominions

I'm quite impressed with the speed of the game. Sad that there were some stalers.

---

I want to thank you all for the game, before any more turns AI or leaves. I've had a very good time so far. It has brought the joy of dominions back

I haven't played for so long, I almost had forgotten how fun the game can be. I have also learned a lot, and gotten useful inspiration.

Is anyone here interested in AAR's or sum ups, look at my turns afterwards or something? I wouldn't mind sharing or looking at others turns when the game is over. I still have my .trn files from the last 20 turns or so in my mail.

Unfortunately, I have gotten rid of my first 20 or so. A bit of a pity, since they were quite crucial for my currrent developments. So a it wouldnt be a very good AAR.

Cheers Kristoffer O, it has been a pleasure and honour to be able to play in the same game as you, although I haven't bumped into the Lawgiver yet I have enjoyed the RP surrounding him.

Thanks again.

KO--

I am sorry to see you go. Just finished reading the thread last night to get muself up to speed, and I found myself reading the Lawgiver's words again and again. Hope we meet again soon.

Methinks that even a being from the Celistial Sphere such as I could learn much from such a one...
