Dystopia - new poor game (Running)

[Maerlande]

Dudes. 4 hours left and lots of turns outstanding. The delay is for NEXT turn.

[LumenPlacidum]

llamaserver never sent me the current turn file but I have to go to work now. I hope I can get an extension, even though maerlande seems to be banned...

edit: nevermind, it was a fast turn.

[Zeldor]

Request a resend.

And yeah, he is banned. It looks like we will be creating all new games on some new forums [that will have to be created probably]. Dominions players are not welcomed on Shrapnel forums anymore, it seems.

This game has moved to here.

Zeldor, I know you're friends with Sombre, Maerlande and some of the others who were banned in the aftermath of the Sombre Incident in the Night of the Long Knives thread, but please put things in perspective.

Dominions players are welcome on the Shrapnel forums and we would like to see as many of them here as possible. Participating on the forums does require adhering to the forum rules, however. Please refrain from trying to portray things as if Shrapnel wants to drive players away, because this is NOT what has been happening.

Being disruptive on a large scale or refusing to follow the rules will cause such users to be temporarily or permanently removed and unfortunately the past two days have seen several users (Sombre, Maerlande, Trumanator, Frozen Lama) permanently banned because they became disruptive on a large scale when the rules of the forum were enforced.

The actions of those people do not reflect on anyone else. Their removal from the forum does have a regrettable impact on the multiplayer games they are participating in, which does mean that game coordination may require either moving threads from here to somewhere else or having parallel threads somewhere else.

Edi:

Well, it's hard to say what was on Shrapnel's minds. Some of their people were extremely rude [Tim Brooks], way more rude than Sombre or any other banned user.

I won't organise any new games on these forums. We should have moved away from here when they were changing forums. We got a clear sign that Shrapnel does not respect Dominions community back then. But we stayed. Now it's too much.

But well, I hope to see you on ne forums too, Edi. You at least like that game and know what's the community about. And you must understand that many people just cannot stay here after what happened. Too bad Shrapnel cannot understand it [but previous discussions on several topics, for example ads with drug addicted women :P, proved it already].

TC:

Amazing fight at your fortress. I can't recall ever watching a closer one. I think the only reason why my forces didnt route before yours was the 60 point and 40 point standard on my prophet and last remaining thug.

Watching your fully buffed immortal hero hold the gate was truly a treat. I openened the battle before looking at the summary, so I did not know the fate of the attack. Watching it, even right to the end I thought I had lost.

Truly an incredible job on your part. And like I said, I think the only reason I didnt route first were the 2 hero abilities with their outrageous standard boosting morale of the last remaining troops thru the roof.

[Rytek]

looking at the battle again. It looks like your immortal hero failed 2 magic rolls in a row while inside the sleep cloud, putting him at 90+ fatigue, allowing one of the vine ogres to kill him. truly bad luck. seeing as how your immortal was at 18 MR.

[Zeldor]

It looks like we can congratulate Man on victory soon. It was obvious from the beginning that this game is about pure luck. And well, Man had most of it. Awake SC and first in research? Getting adepts of golden order? Getting so many good gold events? And how many commanders do you have? 100+? You managed to kill TC and own my army without any problem. I had to try and stop you and I knew chances are slim. Maybe others can try later too, but I'd say we can call game over, as I can compare what you have to what others can bring.

So - I make official request for a vote - surrender to Man and start new game. Nah, I'm serious, really.

[Graeme Dice]

I can try and put up a fight if we all band together against Man. But otherwise, I just don't have the resources to defend against him.
