Sorry about that. My fault. I have now changed it to (started)

Now if you guys check the directory you will see some of the advantage of a webdir for each game.
http://game.dom3minions.com/games/mid_Unlucky/
I will maintain rotating copies of scores and stats.

And so far I have only received one request for email on turn. PM me or email me at dom3minions.com if you want notification when the turn processes.

Otherwise you can keep an eye on the check page at
http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/mids_chk.cgi
A red asterisk means we dont have a turn from you yet. And the check page now lists the countdown timer also.

Default Problems connecting again

Now I'm getting the "waiting for info" thing repeatedly.

For the last couple of turns its been random, try once or twice then the next usually gets in. Tried 6 times so far, will keep trying

edit: Figures, next time I tried, no problem

Well, I tried 4 times in a row and came here to post that this is getting old. The I saw your post, so with hope unbounded, I tried again only to fail.....again. I am about an inch from advertising for a sub, or worse.

keep at it, even with the annoyance of trying 6 times it still only took like 5 minutes.

I use the shortcut on the web directory
double click
see "waiting for info"
ctrl-alt-delete, task manager
don't do anything other than right click, close the dom tab
wait a sec
click end task
wait a few secs
click don't send
close task manager
repeat
takes maybe a minute or so on my comp

The first 6 times I also had firefox, outlook up and closed them for the time it worked. I really think it was coincidental, but you never know.

Default Re: Horror of horrors

I gotta set myself to AI this game. School starts back tomorrow and I am in eight games, so I am finding it hard to do my turns for this one and two others because of map size mainly. In this one I am fighting on so many fronts that I cringe when I look at my turn because of the amount of time it will take to do my turns properly.

Good job getting together an alliance consisting of most the server when Tien Chi has almost every unique artifact and Tartarians galore. That must have been some fast talking to convince them I was the real threat. Well played, you deserve the victory you almost certainly have earned through diplomacy unless Mictlan gets their head out of their rear and realizes what is up. Even then I think Tien Chi is going to run away with this one because Mictlan will be fighting multiple allied nations too that have no chance of winning and are praying to be the last eliminated by Tien Chi for whatever reason I don't know.

Was fun, the massive alliance being the only thing that soured it for me seeing how I was a middle of the road nation at the time behind atleast 3 others in power.

That sucks man. Ry'leh scares me to be honest. More so than the Giants or a blood gorged Mictlan. Starting location, hanging out on my back door and scales just made me think of potential threat, not necessarily current threat.

I for no reason think I'm an obvious winner by any means, but I will admit that right from the get-go I started currying favors because I thought (still) that you'd be a late game threat.

In truth, there was no "whole server" alliance against you, but there were multiple actions with server wide assistance/acknowledgment/donations - dispels/rewrites. There was also quite a bit of explaining exactly what I was doing, which gave plenty of fodder for further activity "i'm attacking here, here and here... look, I'm NOT attacking here, and here" "or I plan on dispelling xxx, I have xxx gems and going for a xxx cast, if anyone wants to donate let me know"

Saint_Dude says you're a good player, so unfortunately that just fueled my paranoia.

Sucks to see you go, see you in perpetuality.
