The gracious Aethyr will now be playing Atlantis. The nation will be reinvigorated, and all will tremble at the name. Muwahaha!

PS Apologies again that I didn't carry on playing. First game I've ever dropped out of - I just got a big bogged down and really wanted to avoid it becoming a job. Have a good game guys - and if I were you I would fear Totl! (I love your posts Kristoffer ).

We also fear him!

The apparition seems to have allied with independent necromancers. Two months ago his first dreaded minion arrived with a horde of soulless Mictlan peasants, the hapless victims of his Ill will. The evil mage now resides in our capital where he has entered the Tomb of Totl to cast a great spell upon himself, uttering a promise not to die as long as Totl leads the world to darkness.

Last month another necromancer arrived at the gates of one of Great GrayZ's castles, denying his retreating troops access to the safety of the walls, effectivelt crushing his entire army and the Righteous, the Mighty, the Unconquered Cu Chulainn, prophet of the Earth Monster, slayer of Totls enchanted Minions; between the hammer of Totl's mictlan slaves and his evil necromancer minion.

If your lands has been attacked by independent necromancers, you must be aware that it is not a random event. It is surely the malice of the Prince of Pestilence that haunts your lands. Ill luck has come to us as well as our enemies. As spoken by Saturn:
Mine are the maladies that kill with cold
The dark deceits, the strategms of old.

R'lyeh has fallen, the evil Lizards of C'tis crushed our last fighting army. As this message is written, all remaining starspawns are fleeing this land into the deap sea of the great ocean.

It was a good game, as long as it lasted, and the next time i will play rlyeh, i will make sure that i will be able to mind hunt.

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.

Ah, well... it happens.

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

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.
