I'm still around the forums guys, and it's really a pity that noone wants to take Hinnom

But yes, if noone wants to take them, it would hurt even more to keep delaying the game. Anyway, just send tell me if you need them set to AI. (I actually didn't play a turn yet because, beside the lack of time and finding it difficult to concentrate on a game I'm about to give up, I was hoping to find a quick sub,and so I didn't want to scramble Hinnom's situation even more.)

Ugh... it sucks gearing up to trash a nation, killing a couple big armies, preparing for a showdown with the rest of his forces and then having the player behind it fail his morale check and leave. I don't know what to say... I don't want an easy AI victory. Is there any way to just turn Hinnom's territories into dust so that no one can take them? He built forts over every available piece of farmland so it's not like I'm taking much of a haul over the mountain provinces that I took from him (most of which I got, or maneuvered to get before he decided to stop playing).

I'd like to request a delay (Canadian Thanksgiving, turkey time!). 48 hours would be great. Hopefully this will give some extra time to find a sub for Hinnom.

Ah, that's why I bought a turkey this week.

Don't worry about the delay, I expect we'll be waiting longer than that.

Is anyone here interested in Frozenllama's offer:

how about a switch? i will take over one of the nations if one of you guys sub in as Gath in Cataclysm?

I'm thinking about it, but I don't know if I've got the time to take on another lategame position.

I posted in the other thread, but I am willing to take either of the two permanent positions.

damn, another 3 days delay? slow as usual...

Iron Duke · #**497** October 13th, 2009, 03:25 PM

don't get me wrong, thejeff is doing a great job as admin, though the slowness of the game sometimes get me on my nerves...

thejeff · #**498** October 14th, 2009, 02:36 PM

Well, we're not so much slow now as stopped. And I'm no happier about it than anyone.

Hopefully, when shard returns, supposedly on the 18th, we can get moving again at a faster pace. We've got a replacement for Hinnom. I'd still like to get one for Caelum, so if you know anyone who'd like to play...
If we don't have one by the time T'ien Ch'i is ready to go, I guess I'll have to set Caelum AI.
That means I'll probably bump it by another 3 days, which will give Shard a day to get his turn in, and then we should be on schedule again.

I'd like to ask every to get this turn in well before the 18th, so that when he does play we can start moving right away.

Will do, thejeff, but note that the hosting time is currently tomorrow at 2245. A number of us don't have turns in... I assume that you are going to bump it (since tien chi doesnt have his in yet) to Monday? I'll get mine in tomorrow for sure.

thejeff · #**500** October 20th, 2009, 11:25 AM

We have a new Caelum! LoloMo has taken over.
He offered just after I'd gone ahead and set it AI, which is why the turn showed up last night.

I've postponed hosting, again, to give him time, but hopefully we can be moving again full speed shortly.
