MP Power Beyond Comprehension aka "My power is still raising!" newbie game - Running - Page 33

Mine? Nope, I dont recall him from previous encounters. Lung Drago I met in the last I Need More Power -game, not before that - nor after either. Otherwise the post is a bit confusing: I, on the otherhand, was trying to say, that with fast host interval (48 or less) the game doesnt get delayed that much from my point of view. The interfering delays start only after when admin starts postponing the host still without reactions from stalers. But this is only me...

I will likely need a postponement after this turn is through (since my laptop is refusing to reboot and has been in startup repair for 24 hrs as of now). I can't say for how long, unfortunately.

No worries, thanks for letting me know.

No response from Abby or Arco. It seems pretty clear Arco needs to be set to AI. I will get someone to check Abby for me and tell me if it looks viable - if not, AI too. Otherwise I'll troll the forums for a sub.

OK, Abby is probably still in the game, but Arco is dead.

When I get a moment I will post for:
a) a sub for Abby, with some description of where they are at (from what I know)
b) someone to turn Arco to AI.

Then, back on track!

Just wanted to mark my agreement that good form is to at least go AI if you're in a hopeless position, and preferably to find a sub if your position is still playable.

...on the other hand we might want to note that AI really messes things up - more likely than not. If nation has some muscles, AI is preferred or simple stale... Now if we do the math, staling does not in fact delay the fast paced game much at all. The delays, as I have noted above start when adming starts postponing the automated host for the stallers. The greatest delays come from players who face force majors and thus cannot play for several days. If thise pile, the delay is somwhat upsetting. However, if there aint stallers in a game of 48H interval, we might save some 6H for each turn which means a full day for one complete week of turns... that not that much...

The delay is annoying and really avoidable, but certainly not a game breaker.

Staling though is a game breaker. At least the AI will build some troops and put up some kind of resistance as opposed to a free ride into the staler's capital for the lucky person who is fighting them.

jimbojones1971 · #**329** May 8th, 2012, 08:24 AM

It seems we have a sub for Abysia, and possibly for Arco. More details soon.

Good work as usual Jimbo.
