Game is postponed 48 hours, so it shouldn't host until something like Monday. Just keep sending your turns in when you get a chance, and ask for extensions as you need them, bigdis. I am happy to keep setting extensions if it means we can keep the game going

I am guessing Llama confused Andean Zorro and Darwin's Zorro; Darwin's Zorro, Llama said, was started, but actually it is just not on the list anymore, and based on my email and whatnot, the times all match. So we'll see. I think we're overworking llamabeast

My understanding was that there is no 'rule' per se that governs treaties/pacts etc, its up to the player to trust the other party. Of course, any broken NAP should be made public so that the offender's reputation is tarnished, but I've always found the capacity to backstab is what makes diplomacy in multiplayer games potentially so exciting. I'm always too proud of my reputation to do it, but it always adds spice to a game when it happens

Kheldron · #4 July 22nd, 2008, 04:52 AM

Ok then.
To add spice, I'd like you all to know Pangea was the one asking for the treaty while Ashdod was biting at his hoofs a few turns ago.

Since he sent his god and about 500 troops to me, all those of you that have an interest in his whereabouts or want to uphold any honor in this game shall feel free to go and plunder his lands, he won't have much to defend.

Enjoy!

I am going to be out of town for about 24 hours this weekend (JUST enough to get a stale). I hope you don't mind giving me a 36 hour extension. I will, of course, return and send my turn ASAP when I am back.

Uh, I actually went ahead and delayed it.

Kheldron · #6 August 1st, 2008, 02:15 PM

Hail Lords of War,

it is with great sadness that I must bear grave news. Know all that honor has definetly fled our world as the aliens of R'lyeh proved to be no less treacherous than their satyre counterparts. They just broke a NAP-5 they asked for when I was in a position to deny them most of their lands.

Act as your heart decide if you also have an agreement with these despitefdul creatures.

Lord of the deep, we believe your deeds were dictated by greed as much as vileness as you saw Pangea holding me in a stranglehold. You may have acted rashly to ensure some share of my lands before it was too late.
Well, Pangea just took a backbeat for having been too greedy and it would have been worse had he acted as I thought.
Meditate on this when you salivate on the piece of cake. I'm made of the bitterest lemon.

Anyway, if we intend to fight till the end, I do realize that being ganged by three nations is no less a trial than building sandcastles with a coming tidal wave.
To all of you who have borders with Pangea and R'lyeh, know then that they shall soon be more powerful than ever after swallowing me...and they just showed how much you can trust any agreement you had with them.

Now would be a good time to strike I believe.

Nekraal of Caelum

BDA, seems like you are not near destruction so my vote would be to try and find a Sub, or if that doesn't work delay the game, but I wouldn't object if you want to go AI

Calahan · #8 August 14th, 2008, 05:13 PM

Ashdod are far from gone in this game. In fact I think they're causing me (Pangaea) more problems now than at any point before.

I'd be happy to see the game delayed for a few days until BigDisAwesome got back from his hols. Be sad to see him get subbed-out, and silly to turn him AI. Plus 18th-22nd is only five days after all, which is nothing when you consider that most games last months.

Hail all,

holidays are already a memory which is sad but good for the game.
I must confess the computers on which I played these last turns couldnt display battles !!!
We can go on a 24h or 48h schedule from now on, that is after BDA comes back.

Thanks all for your patience

Calahan · #10 August 17th, 2008, 10:57 AM

Good to have you back Kheldron. Hope the holiday was a good one :-)

And your lack of visuals certainly hasn't stopped you dishing out some serious casualties to the Pangaean ranks. In fact I'm very worried as to what will happen now that you CAN see what's going on! Given our last few clashes, it's me that wishes my computer wouldn't display the battles! :-)
