Default Re: War?

EH is a good player. If he had internet access and wanted to send in a turn, it would take him no more than 15 minutes given the small size of his empire.

So he either has no internet access(and he warned us that may happen), or he does not want to send in a turn. EH is pretty good about getting a sub when he is done with a game, so I assume he has no internet access.

EH post on this thread: "I managed to get ahold of an internet connection so I am still playing, I don't know how long I can continue to play though (depends on a few things)."

But i do not think the entire game should be held up for 1 player when he has had 80 hours to submit a turn.

Oh, I hadn't seen this thread, I just did a search on evilhomer now:

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=581730

It looks like he didn't find a sub, and he's not going to be doing his turn.

Edit: And of course, when Velusion patched (thanks Velusion!) he had to restart the server, so it started counting the 48 hours all over again. Everybody should have plenty of time to get 3.15 on their system before the next time it hosts, at least.

Well, I think Oceania is in as good a position as any of the water races. Does anyone know a sub? His research is actually way up there. It would be a shame to see another race go ai, especially since Oceania is in fairly good shape.

I could ask Tyrant, though I am not sure he is fond of me after Alpaca and the Big Game. But he loves water races. I sent Tyrant a tell outlining Oceania's position to gauge his interest.

Lol. Not many people are fond of you after playing you Xietor. Still, grudges should not carry over between games.

Default Re:Sniff

/sniff. Why not? I am a nice person? I luv everyone!

Message to whoever is playing Oceania: We have a 3 turn nap, but I did allow EH to own a land province in my area. I know EH from other games and trust him.

He was going to tell his sub that I was taking that land province in my area if EH relinquished control of Oceania. That has occurred, and my army will be in place to take the land province in my area the turn after next.


That is not a violation of my 3 turn nap with EH as I had told him of this fact. If you foolishly consider it a violation of our 3 turn nap then be warned that Pythium can enter the water. But we consider a 3 turn nap in place between us, with the caveat that you owe us a province.

So welcome to the game. If the new player is Tyrant, then send me a pm and we can discuss things in depth. We harbor no grudges from past wars in other games obviously or we would not have sent you the pm to alert you to the open position.

Good Luck Oceania, and may we maintain the peaceful relations that we have enjoyed since turn 1.

I was perhaps a bit harsh. The bold type was an accident done when sending. It was really just a joke.

Default Ghost players ?

I didn't manage to get the internet to work during monday-thursday (couldn't get the wireless to work properly in the apartment my company put me). Since I did my turn with 40+ hours to spare on sunday I figured I would miss exactly 1 turn during these four days (which I can live with). Now things are really weird, some orders seems to have been completly changed, and others seems to have been added. Anyone know what has happened to this game ? Is it related to the new patch ?
