Has anyone heard from Velusion? Does anyone know if anything is being done to fix the game?

Fix the game? It's hosting in eight hours, I'd guess the server blackout just reseted the timer. Besides, only Man left and he's probably ripe for being AIed...

I hope that the eight hour timeline means something this time, but it doesn't seem likely that it will. The deadline came and then went into negative time. Now the game won't tick, despite the fact that no one is listed as "turn pending". Does "missed a turn" mean the same as "turn pending?" (serious question)

The update page is only "about". The exact info you can get by logging onto server via Dom (if you give a wrong password you get to see the server status without messing up with your turn). I saw that 8 hours from the server prompt. Especially the hosting schedule on the web page is famed for being wonky each time something unexpected (server crashes) happens.

And yea, if it says missed turn it means Man hasn't put in a new turn either.

the server is working fine. there was a power outage on saturday, and so in restarting it the hosting period was reset. Vel posted the info in his "velusion's server" thread.

Only Man is left to go, and he will likely stale again. Its the second stale in a row; really more like the third as this turn was double-long, and so he should be set to AI.

Next turn EA Caelum will be going AI. EH informed me a during last turn that he was not returning. I am in my max of 2 games already, so last turn and this turn just doing some housecleaning. I never agreed to take on the Eagle Kings permanently. But it was fun while it lasted.

Hat is off to Velusion and Baalz. They are good players and countered everything I tried. If i had started this game, id play to the bitter end to inflict maximum casualties. But I do not view that as my job now that I know the owner is not returning.

Good Luck All.

Ouch!

And we have fallen at about the same time, as it turns out. Our once-mighty army stands dea... er... immobile at the feet of the blood-thirsty savages, who have come to drive the light of civilization out of the world.

It is only fitting that I should suffer the consequences of the shortcomings of my own start-location placement. In the future, if you have extra start locations on your map, remove start locations *from the middle* rather than at random!

But I should not overstate the significance of a good starting position - my starting position was not-at-all-bad. But AdmiralZhao exploited his excellent start with superb aplombe. Good luck to the rest of you, you're going to need it.
