no he staled

even though its been 2 1/2 days since he Last submitted a move. hopefully just some temporary event has interfered w/ his playing. I changed one order in my moves that would have led to a large scale battle, since likely he would have moved his army out of that province instead of having me wipe it out. sent my pretender into my backlines instead to retake an indy.

If he hasn't shown up by the end of this turn, I'll find some capable forum veteran to temp sub the turn, and properly prosecute his war w/ me.

Tauren, please continue to try to contact him and find out what's up. Hell, if he can't play for some reason, you could sub him

as to pan, since man was staling I haven't had him set to AI, but I will have him by the end of this turn.

omg Ozymandias got in his turn.

I've set pangaia to AI.

Edit: [censored]. supposedly there's a known bug where if you set someone to AI using the master password, you can recieve a "CD key violation". I now need to have esben delete my .2h files, and I got a forced stale turn

well at least that will level the playing field then with ozzy's stales... hehe

archaeolept · #**134** August 26th, 2004, 11:51 AM

yah, but he only got one stale as well. and at least he deserved one

this bug, otoh, is a real pisser. in fact, i can't submit another move until Esben deletes the .2h files.

The_Tauren13 · #**135** August 26th, 2004, 12:44 PM

yeah that does suck... does this happen every time you set someone to AI? i could see why, because you log into their turn and and then yours, and since you have the same CD key as yourself, the game thinks that suddenly the player you set to AI has the same copy of the game as you do, thus violating the CD key policy. interesting.

archaeolept · #**136** August 26th, 2004, 01:13 PM

yah, i think that's how it works. rather defeats the usefulness of having a master password. Lost my indy mercs too, which I actually rather needed.

Tauren has agreed to take over djtool's T'ien Chi, which is great. and i doubt the loss of mictlan to AI will change much

Ozy did stale a turn, but the latest is in. hopefully this is just a temporary difficulty.

I'm sorry about my stales, I've been moving and haven't had regular access to the internet. I only started two games on purpose, because I understand they can become time intensive towards the end game, but real life does intervene. It seems that you have cruelly punished me for my stales too. C'est la guerre. I just won't have to pay upkeep for those armies anymore.

Anyway if there is someone who could step into my spot (hopefully just temporarily) that might help in my struggle with you. Otherwise I'll soldier on as best I can.

archaeolept · #**139** August 30th, 2004, 03:47 PM

well, you've only had two stales, as opposed to one for me, and the first of them I avoided trying to wipe out your army.

the second time however I wasn't so sympathetic...

still an entertaining and difficult war all around, no doubt.

you could start a thread looking for a temporary sub, or ask around in #dominions on irc.gamesurge.net.

Well it's my first real war in mp (belle_air has been surprisingly peaceful) and I'm still quite enjoying it.
