My apologies on the matter. In chris' defense he has actually suffered 2 staled turns, which at this point can lead to quite a set back. This is especially true considering his original strategy.

Either way I believe chris might have staled anyhow considering the original deadline was early today, not sometime tomorrow as he perceived.

I am willing to delay turn 14 in order to find a replacement. Though I'm sure that might take a couple of days to find. I also bet Ry'leh would be eager to have a bit of coast uninhabited by an active player.

My encouragement to chris is to stick it out if you can. I have come to this point in a few games myself and would dearly have regretted giving up. Jim can contest to this since he was in the last game I played.

I am willing to delay the game further in order to find a replacement. Though I'm sure that might take a couple of days to find. I also bet Ry'leh would be eager to have a bit of coast uninhabited by an active player.

AOE does indeed have an iron will, a spine like an oak, and testicles like coconuts.



He also sets up a mean communion.

I suspect they just want your tasty delicious gem income that you have worked so hard for.

P.S.: Ulm's PD is so good.

No. I met all the deadlines as published by llamaserver, except this one which was moved up. I even said I was going to be away labor day weekend!

I think it wasn't kosher to move it up AoE; moving it up, after a server outage, after an upgrade, and after a request not to -but it can't really be undone at this point - so whats the point?

Anyway the position has some strong positivies. I'm not dropping as it isn't playable, I'm dropping because of disgust. But I'll help a sub anyway I can, to minimize disruption.

I'm sorry you're disgusted. You've already placed yourself as AI. The only way to undo that as far as I know is to roll back the previous turn. Yet, if we are going to roll back one turn then why not two?

I'm personally not going to decide on this though as it has way too many consequences. Those already embroiled in war would obviously change many of their actions based on the results of previous failures. If all of the players are for it then I'm willing to do the roll backs, but only if their is a reasonable consensus.

Little late. You can't undo going AI.
