Well, I've taken one Mari province and I got a stale turn Last turn so my advance is certainly no blitzkrieg so far.

That certainly looks like a Blitzkrieg to me!

Yeah, turn 2 of my invasion was much better than turn one. LOL.

Seriously, drop me an email at johnpruner at yahoo.com and we'll work out a border if you'd like.

No! Don't "work out a border" with evil monster-Caelum. Attack! Attack! Attack!

*cough*

Say, would anyone be opposed to us trying to go to a sane schedule? 48 or 72 hour hostings, instead of sometimes 24, sometimes 48, sometimes 72? Would've gotten a stale this turn if I hadn't gotten out of bed at midnight to check.

Chazar · #6 September 28th, 2004, 07:00 AM

I would be really happy with any slower schedule, provided that there is still no hosting on Sat/Sun required.

A few of us (including me) are also playing in "Glacier" on Mosehansen's, so it might be convenient to mimick the schedule, i.e. 96h-Quickhost-Only. Glacier seems to progress quite nicely despite of the slow schedule and 17 players being involved...

If this is rejected as being to slow, then I would like to keep the fixed-time hosting, i.e. swichting to something like MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, & FRIDAY, which would give a -48-48-72 rythm (instead of our current rythm -24-48-24-72).

I'll be happy to make any changes the players want, but as mentioned before, quickhost won't work if Marignon hasn't set themselves to AI. I haven't checked on that lately, so they might have.

Glacier really moves a bit too slow; 48/48/72 would seem far more preferable than 96; if it's tricky to set that up, a pure 72QH maybe? It shouldn't really matter if there's a hosting on Sat/Sun with that, because you could still take your turns on Friday and Monday.

Chazar · #9 November 14th, 2004, 07:56 AM

Beware: the 72hrs schedule is still in place, and the game host within 3 hours, although R'yleh has not made its turn yet. I have asked Reverend Zombie to switch the game to QH only yesterday anyway!

Chazar · #10 November 9th, 2004, 04:54 AM

It seems that the 72hrs schedule is somewhat problematic: R'yleh already staled according to my scouts and Pangaea's player is currently pretty busy. I prefer a delay rather than staling opponents anyway, so I propose to switch back to unlimited Quickhosting after the next turn (C'tis was just defeated but is still shown as active for this turn, so I assume that this could prevent an ordinary quickhost?)!

That game is pretty exciting for me and I would really like to see it played to the end. So please remind yourself to do your turn once in a while! It would be a real shame if this game would be dying...
