Alpaca: 10 player game to test new server(started)

[llamabeast]

Yeah, that's exactly how I understood it. Definitely not paralyzed even briefly. Miserable sequence of events:

Tartarian Cyclops and two Devil-killing Harbingers cloud trapeze on top of devil.
-- Battle starts --
- Devil flies in and sends a fully kitted Harbinger to Inferno

- Tartarian Cyclops casts Petrify
- Second Harbinger casts Mistform

- Devil sends Cyclops to Inferno

- Second Harbinger flees

Oh dear, we're getting a good bit of staling from R'lyeh and Ermor. Are you still around guys?

Tyrant and Sieger are doing turns in their other games. So they are still around.

I do not think either ermor or ryleh has a realistic chance to win, so their lack of interest given the delays etc is understandable. I think vanheim took the wind of of ermor's sails when he took down well of misery.

It has, to be fair, been an extraordinarily static game for Ermor and R'lyeh (and Vanheim, until very recently), I absolutely can't blame them if they're losing interest a bit. I've found personally that I begin to stop enjoying Dominions games when "cold war" periods go on too long (I was going off this one for a while before the Great War started) - in future I plan to make sure I have war all the way!

This is getting quite dramatic now though, at least for me, Vanheim and Pangaea. R'lyeh has caused considerable trouble (especially with that Infernal Scythe!), but I guess it could be frustrating that he's outnumbered and Vanheim can't easily support him. As for Vanheim - well he mentioned he was scared of us and thought he had no chance of winning, and I'm scared witless of him! Hundreds of freaking Tartarians! Master Enslave! I guess it's a bit like spiders ("They're just as scared of you as you are of them").

Hi guys, I'm going away this weekend (last trip away of quite a busy summer, I'm going to write sketches with some friends who are putting on a comedy show), so I've extended the timer of the _coming_ turn by 24 hours. The timer for the current turn remains the same (hosting in 6 hours or so).

Really getting into this game again now there's a lot of action. I've managed to put a lot of time into the last two turns (more than an hour both times), so hopefully, Vanheim, you're beginning to feel the heat!

Vanheim appears to be losing provinces. What is happening?

Whatever happens to Vanheim, though, I will applaud Val as the most chivalrous player I have EVER encountered. He likely could have won the game earlier if he was more ruthless.
