FruitBat - EA newbie game - started

[llamabeast]

Okay, the game's started! The first turn will have 48 hours on the clock in case of difficulties, and subsequent ones will have 24 hours.

How it works is that the server hosts either 24 hours after the last hosting or when everyone's turns are in, whichever is sooner. This means that the hosting time tends to gradually creep forwards. It's important to be aware of that. Remember you can check out the game status at any time at www.llamaserver.net .

I'd like to ask for a volunteer to admin the game. The admin has to do two things:

1) If a player asks for an extension or anything then do it (provided it's reasonable; a day or two is reasonable, if they are going away for a week they should get a sub). It's super easy via the interface on the website.

2) If the admin gets knocked out of the game, pass the password on to one of the remaining players.

It's a really easy, almost zero-work job, but it keeps me from having to carefully watch 20-odd game threads (which I tried for a bit, and it hurt).

Right, enjoy the game guys!

Thanks llamabeast for setting up the server and the games, that really runs great (as I can tell so far).

If nobody objects I can do the admin stuff.

As we are on the subject, I am away over the easter weekend, Thursday morning (20th) till Tuesday noon (25th), or 4+ days. If several other players are taking days off, we could stop the timer or I have to find a sub, provided I will be still in the game.

Anyways, the tribes of Marverni, used to fight it out amongst themselves are now hearing the call of the awaking god and are marching forward united, so beware and do not cross their path, as they have a hot temper. However, the advice of the druids is usually heeded, and these are wise and peaceful, unless provoked. If so, they will turn into formidable foes!

So everybody interested in trading, alliances or just a little chat, is welcome to contact me.

Thanks for picking up the admin side, appreciated.

Yeah I'm away for a few days at Easter 26,27,28 but I can get a sub no problem. I'm happy to go with the consensus about a break for Easter.

fantasma sent you a private message, outlining the advantage of Marverni becoming a vassal state lol

I think a break for easter is a great idea. I for one hope that we can all be flexible if people ask for a day or two.

Good gaming to all!

No plan for the easter holidays, so everything is fine for me.

"Confucius said: 'If you would govern a state of a thousand chariots (a small-to-middle-size state),
you must pay strict attention to business, be true to your word, be economical in expenditure and love the people.
You should use them according to the seasons.'"
- The Analects of Confucius

Object?
Who would be silly enough to do that? Lanka stamp!

[Donny]

All the possible solutions will be fine for the holy T'ien Ch'i.

Ulm is easy...just not cheap! A break at Easter would be fine.

Klaus, the FrostFather, is breaking free! His people, the tribe of Ulm, rejoice and set out to gain land for his glory! Those who oppose us shall wither and die in his all consuming Cold...

[llamabeast]

Thanks so much for offering to do the admin fantasma. Much appreciated. I'll send you a PM with the password.

Abysia here ~ I don't need a break for easter, but if most of the others do that is fine with me.

Stormcrow....I am saddened to learn of your desire to embrace cold. We Abysians find anything below 100F a little chilly, but your lands won't be below 90F, right?

Anyone who is interested in a Non Aggression Pact with Abysia let me know either via in game message or PM. My proposed terms would be that either of us can cancel at any time for any reason, but that there could be no offensive action taken for 3 turns after.

For example, if you informed me of you desire to cancel prior to turn #1 resolving, on turn #4 you could attack me.

Let me know.
