I'll be on buisness travel from Apr 23 to Apr 26. I don't know if I'll have internet access during this time.

Can the game be put on hold during this time? If the delay is to long, a substitute is acceptable.

Thanks

We can put it on hold during this time. Any efforts you can make to make sure you have a turn in just before you go, and perhaps getting in a turn during your trip will be appreciated, though. Nonetheless, I'll make sure you don't stale.

Thanks Hellboy. I'll be doing turns over the weekend and I'll try to get a turn in AM on Monday before leaving.

Reset server to allow Jay Thomas some extra time.

I'm in Iowa, USA. I was able to get an internet connection but I can't connect to any of the game servers. Probably some firewall setting on my work computer which I won't mess with.

Anyway, I'll be home tomorrow evenning to continue my turns.

Well, Helheim has had up both Forge of the Ancients and Well of Misery up for a while now - does anyone care?

I guess I would've expected a neighbor of Helheim's to initiate some coordinated effort to dispel these (especially the FoTA) - does Helheim have no hostile neighbors?

I have also seen on the Dom3 boards a number of people (including quantum_mechani) who believe that no diplomacy or little diplomacy makes for a higher quality game. I am certainly not of that opinion, but is our game made up of players who consider diplomacy a bad thing?

One thing I will say is that I know that Helheim controls a large (huge maybe?) area, and that they've had FoTA up for a while, and WoM up, and afaict, both of these are unopposed. Based on these facts I would say that without diplomacy, Helheim's victory is a fait accompli.

Now in saying all the above, I should mention that I am having a great time playing in this game in my corner of the world. Also, I have no ill will vs. q_m (the player), he appears to have done an outstanding job of accumulating power in the early/mid game.

I can understand why having two globals might worry people, but just because I'm slightly ahead of the game in that one area doesn't mean a lot of other people won't be soon throwing up their globals too.

I should also point out that as far as worrying about a nation being on the fast track to winning, that Helhiem is not one of the nations already bloated on huge areas of conquests (Mictlan, Niefelhiem, or Ulm). The case of Mictlan is particularly worrying given how huge they can - invisibly - grow their blood economy. They even have access to probably the most efficient blood outlet in the game, in the form of super-blessed jaguar fiends.
