I'm casting Mother Oak now.

(I suppose that makes me the next target once Tien Chi is gone. Oh well. First, or tied first, to a global enchantment!)

Apparently the RNG decided to punish me and sent Bogus the Troll Raider and a gang of other heroes to take one of my provinces in retribution, even though I took a luck scale.

Yeah, I had something similar happen in my other game and it derailed my plans for 3 turns. Sympathies...

New Lesson Learned (for a newb);

I spent two turns with all my mages Calling Back my killed Pretender. I knew he would return weakened, but it was painful. He lost one level in all the magic paths he had, and since he was a (mini) rainbow Pretender it cost five levels in total, and he lost access to 3 paths.

Sigh....

Now we have to start the "Call Competitor" spell and revive Kupiko.

13lackGu4rd appears to have failed to sub in for Kupiko since TC has missed the last two turns for a total of 7 stale turns so far. Should I set Tien Chi to AI so that we don't have to keep waiting 24h for turns and stuff?

well, I guess "failed to sub" is the right definition... if only I'd have received some turns I would have played, but I didn't even receive an email from llamaserver saying that I've been added to the game, so there wasn't much I could do about it... when you seek a sub you usually need to halt the game until the sub gets into the game, than give him some time to catch up on the situation and let him start playing. for this to happen the game admin needs to change the email address of the dropping player into the sub's address, so the sub can start to receive the turns. this step never happened in this situation so it was really out of my control...

Well, thanks for telling us something of what was going on. I had no idea what you and Kupiko might be discussing - I got no requests to delay the game or change email address, so I'm guessing you sent that to Maerlande, who appears to have been banned. Do you want me to try to fix some of it?

Sheesh, confusion and lack of information.

13lackGu4rd · #**108** May 19th, 2010, 06:50 AM

actually I didn't do anything, Kupiko wanted a sub, I accepted, it was up to him to change the email addresses so he can be relieved from the game... he said he asked Maerlande to change the addresses but ever since than I heard nothing and received no emails...

Jorus · #**109** May 19th, 2010, 08:33 AM

Too bad about the miscommunications/assumptions. We're all newbies here, so we learned something new about playing Dom3 MP.
13lackguard, what do you want to do? Kupiko's position has suffered badly over the last 4 turns. He has 5 provinces now, I believe, down from 19.
If you want to play, then we can pause for a day, or whatever. Otherwise we should put TC under AI command immediately.

do you guys communicate well with Maerlande since his ban from these boards? if you guys think those 5 provinces still have enough troops and mages to put up a decent fight than I can sub in, if not than just set it to AI, been waiting for them emails, thought you guys paused the game or something, but it seems that you continued. so really, up to you guys...
