Mongoose - Starting (at last!)

WonderLlama · #1 October 23rd, 2007, 02:55 PM

I could have sworn 10 minutes ago the game page correctly said the deadline was today. About 20 minutes ago. Now it says the 23rd, as you say. Did you see it that way too, Sensori, or did I just not see the date before?

Sensori · #2 October 23rd, 2007, 02:59 PM

Today is 23rd, man.

This is what it should've said:

Next turn due: 17:14 GMT on Wednesday October 24th

Which it says now! It's right this time! Yaay, Llama fixed our stuffs! Just one more day to wait for the turn to run, then, unless Eldanesh shows up and does his turn. ;p

EDIT: THe thing was that it's 23rd today, and the timer had passed the time the turn was due - thus making it look like we were gonna hafta wait for 23rd of October to be Tuesday some year in the future unless Ulm sent his turn. Llamabeast sent me a response saying that it was just not showing right while the time had been, in actuality, changed to Wednesday.

Er, ok I was making no sense when I wrote that. It was 1:20 my time, 17:20 server time that it said the turn was due 17:14 Tuesday October 23rd. And it stayed that way for a while, and I was wondering why the turn was taking so long to process. And then it changed to say the due 17:14 on Wednesday October 24th.

So that's not right, is it? I mean, we've already waited 24 hours. We didn't switch to 48 hour hosting, did we? There's nothing about it in the admin log.

Oh, ok, you edited your post. Did Llamabeast mean to give us an extra 24 hours when he reset the timer? Or did he just think that's when it was supposed to be?

Sensori · #5 October 23rd, 2007, 03:19 PM

Yeah, he did mean to give us an extra 24 hours, I fink it says so in his email.

Let's see... Yeah, here it is!

I've stuck an extra 24 hours on all the timers anyway just in case.

So, it's 24 hours more of not having to worry about turns unless Ulm shows up. ;p

Got it.

From the mail i received i think he just added an extra 24 hours anticipating possible problems with the double turn.
However we all figured it out and sent our turns in... like 12 hours :-P

All except Eldanesh who has gone silent since a little while, let's hope he comes back soon to do his turn

Well, that's pretty much it. I think the forces of good are defeated.

A small force of elite Caelum mages and an Air Queen confronted one of Abyssia's large devil armies. They were set up to destroy it with several battlefield enchantments.

Two of those enchantments were Storm Warriors and Wrathful Skies. I thought Storm Warriors gave lightning immunity. I was wrong. The turn after the enchantments went up, Wrathful skies destroyed the High Seraph holding the storm staff, which was holding the devils at bay. And then the mages were all killed.

That's pretty much all I had. Don't get me wrong - I'm going to try to come up with some way to defend my lands. But I've just lost my only good combat summon, combat artifacts, plus I alchemised most of my gems to attempt that attack. I've got nothing left.

Why did you throw Sea of Ice, anyway? Didn't you realize that, as MA R'lyeh, I was pondering casting it myself. But then you threw it for me, and I'm very much happy. ;p

But... You could've technically just given me all the gems, because that's how much it's gonna help you.
