How do you see who staled? I thought that was rather hard to do on this server.

[Samhain]

Besides inferring from lack of activity (which is darn tough with score graphs off), the only way I know of is to remain on the screen that shows all of the banners of the nations in play. Any X'd out when the hosting clock runs out likely staled. I know from administrating a past game (though on llamaserver) that many players though will often get their turn in just minutes before the game hosts.

I've suspected that at least in some cses this is actually a form of metagaming, acting as if you are going to stale to get your opponent to take a risky move. I've considered doing it myself but have been too paranoid that either a internet connection failure or real-life event will cause an actual stale. So, I tend to do the opposite, get a draft turn in as soon as I can and, if possible, a more considered turn later.

PavlovianCat to the rescue

[PavlovianCat]

Hey all, P-Cat here. Like he said, I'll be taking over for TNN. I was able to log in fine so it should work. I'm not even in that bad of a position, though I really don't understand some of the stuff it seems he was doing (there's a bunch of sidhe champions just sort of... researching, and I have no idea why).

That said, can anyone fill me in on the current political situation? I need to know which side the pointy end of the spear should be facing.

[Hylobius]

Welcome PavlovianCat. I am playing Vanheim, and we were at war. More recently we have both been attacked by Fomoria so it is probably in our best interests to work together against a large and aggressive Fomoria. I'm not certain what your current relationship is with Agartha. Best of luck.

Hope is kindled

[Thanatus del Dragos]

TNN and Argatha are friends

[iRFNA]

Caelum loaned TNN 100k gold and 1k astral pearls under the guarantee that they'd be paid back with 10% interest by turn 75

[Soyweiser]

I wonder where Caelum got that kind of cash to begin with. Cheater! You norfleet (do a search ).

[PavlovianCat]

Oh certainly! Here let me just get that for you... You accept fey gold, right? Don't worry, all those rumors of fey gold disappearing, or turning into snakes and such is just slander*.
