Well when the turn processes you will see I sent you an in game notice and no one is in your territory, at least none of MY guys...

Yet.

But the turn has yet to process. Unfortunately. Tien Chi, is he still playing? Or has he staled the last 2-3 turns? Havent heard anything from him in awhile...

Grrr.

I hate being impatient but I am lol

He is the host of this game, so presumably yes.

I thought Llamaserver did the hosting automatically, and he simply set up the game.

Now the hosting occurs automatically at the time interval set or automatically once all turns are in.

Could be wrong though.

It happens as soon as the last turn is in. I was last once, and when I was last, I took a follow-up turn right away. I think Tien Chin has been the last to finish a turn for the past couple of turns, so we have to wait on him, but he has not been following up with a second turn, per parcelt's suggestion, so we are only getting in one turn a day.

Oh and on the 'in the shadows' communications comment:

I'll be upfront with you all right here, right now. I talk to anyone I can and try to keep as many lines of communication open as I can. I dont think I make any 'secrets' about this. I try to keep deals confidential because, really, no one else needs to know. Wether this is some sort of NAP or Alliance or trade of gems or what have you, it really is only important to me and who I make the deal with.

If I make a deal, I will try to stick with it.

However, if someone makes me a better offer, or if a situation changes, I reserve the right to change my mind.

The best way to keep the peace is to make it in both parties best interest for the peace to be kept. Dont expect me to let you gain an advantage unless I am gaining another advantage in return.

Man, in your case, there really isnt much of a way to deal. If I let you swallow Tien Chi, I'd have only one way to expand and that direction wouldnt be expandable for long. In addition, after I had eaten that nation I would then have to go to war with a stronger version of you.

It is in my best interest to take you out now.

Good luck, and whatever happens, I hope you have fun.

A certain Rishi of Bandar Log is interested in collecting together as many death gems as he can find. He will naturally wish to keep this matter a private one between himself and the parties involved -- there is no reason to involve the White Council, who in their blindness do not understand the need for such magic.

The offer is 10g, 2 astral, or 1 nature gem for each death gem.

DonCorazon, that is exactly what I meant. Again, it should all be without pressure (the server forces the turn anyway after 24 hrs so that is the real deadline). But if possible it would be nice as it breaks the pattern of our different timezones and keeps the game moving. It only takes the llamaserver something like 2 minutes to process and send the turn back to you (when you're the last one).

On the communications in the shadows, those are perfectly acceptable IMHO and can actually greatly increase the fun of playing (be prepared to be called some bad things if you don't stick to the deals you make though).

As far as I know T'ien C'hi was still playing.... ?

I think T'ien C'hi (Zeldor?) has been submitting his turns, just because the deadline time keeps inching forward each day, but apparently he can only do his turns at a certain time. Perhaps he'll be able to catch up since today is Friday.
