MP: a lEArning experience (Newbie EA CBM1.92) [in progress]

Did someone stale?

I was hoping the longer turn duration would avoid that.

I'm interested in your story Arco. What's been going on with you?

[mattyburn7]

Yes, Arco...what did happen. Perhaps we can offer words of wisdom for the next game?

Hey guys, did anyone else stale? I didn't actually stale because I submitted a preliminary turn -- I tend to have second thoughts and resubmit turns -- but upon trying to submit a turn that actually had *battle orders* for a change I got hit by this:

If nobody seriously objects I would like to roll back the game to the previous turn and resubmit. If people object, then I'm frankly even more screwed -- to be honest, I don't need artificial handicaps at this point.

In another game. Someone referred to them as flying rats ...However seeing as I'm playing Caelum in another EA game, I'm going to be most respectful to the Eagle Kings!

Mega widget- I presume you would simply submit the rejected orders? Aderion has very valid concerns that you would benefit from the rollback from seeing his military actions. If the orders you submit were from before the turn processed that might alleviate his concerns.

I wasn't intending to cheat, and I haven't seen the latest turn yet.

However, upon consideration I have decided not to roll back, as that screws everyone but me over given that they'll know other people's moves. Yeah, it means I'm really really really ****ed. I had a start worse than Arcoscephale (we talked, and he had a pretty bad one, but he was also less cautious expanding than me and paid for it) so Dominions 3 hates me, and I guess Llamaserver hates me as well. I'll live. Well, more likely not. But I shouldn't penalize everyone else for this.

Eh. It happens. The second game I ever played (this game only being the third) I started in a corner almost right next to two nations who were allied and proceeded to push me into my capital and keep me there from about the middle of the second year until I was eliminated. I think in some respects Dominions is a lot like Dwarf Fortress where half the fun is seeing how you're going to lose this time.

The good news is there is always another game and more fun right around the corner!

Cheers to that! I am enjoying the telling of the tragic tale of Arcosephale.
