Greetings One and All,

The kingdom of Man stopped today, for news that we have been waiting for as arrived, the physical representation of our god has returned to us...Crystalmist is back.

A week long holiday as been called and there has been much rejoicing with in the kingdom of Man.

It is only fitting that on the same month Crystalmist returned to us, all presence of Dreamslayer (who grieviously slayed Crystalmist in combat) has been utterly removed.

Let this be an abject lesson in what happens to those who try to harm Crystalmist...

Prophet Tywin Lannister,
Man, Tower of Avalon.
Ooh,
A pretender vs. pretender battle. Can we have any details about that fight?

P.S. Thanks for hosting the game upstream. You've been doing a great job so far.

I did have screenshots. But it happened turn 15'ish or earlier so I deleted them some time ago. Enough to say Dreamslayer won because he equiped his pretender with a magic sword and buffed him up with spells. Dreamslayer then died a turn later causes unknown? Dreamslayer turned up a few turns ago at is former Agarthian capital (now mine ), my army made mincemeat of him in a 2 rounds of combat. Now he is dead forever.

Y'know, it'd be bloody nice to have a set turn schedule, since it's obvious that hosting isn't "every time I get all the 2h files." Feh.

Upstreamedge/Adam is doing a excellent job hosting, this game has zipped along.

However, I would like to 2nd Cainehill's request for a set 48hr turnaround, we are in mid game now and my turn takes over a hour or more to do correctly. Already I have sent in alot of 'rushed' turns.

cainehill, I am trying to stick to a 24 hour schedule, but the internet at my college is nightmarishly bad. I also have been in transit for a couple days because of the vacation.

I have just had a stale turn, my first one, not surprising since I never even got a chance to send in my orders...

I cannot keep playing at this kind of pace, so will after drop out of the game, even through I do not want too. :

I was not sent a reminder or any thing that my turn was due in...

I can continue to play in the game with a 48hr turnaround, if we stay at 24hr then I am going to keep missing turns, so I will switch Man to AI.

Maybe we should consider bumping it up to 48 hour so as not to lose players at this stage of the game. It's hard to do a straight 24 hour turnaround time doing PBEM, and I think most other games I am in complete a turn at way before the 48 hours expire.
