@Everyone.
Well, I'm sorry for my teammate's hot words, he's a little rude sometimes. From my point, probably we really gained more than lost with the stale, as I think we were going to lose 3 equipped wishers otherwise and probably others. But, it seems he made his decision and now I have 2 options - take 2 nations or go AI myself. Actually I'd like to continue playing, however I really have no time for 2 nations now. So, unfortunately, it seems I'll go AI too this turn. I'll probably wait for the hosting time to see if some other options appear, though.

Its one turn in a very late game in a very intense game, and its a HUGE deal. Yes, indeed this game is very taxing so partially its just an exuse to go out. You should know how taxing it is - and you are just fighting us, not the whole map.
But I wouldnt quit under normal circumstances. Staling a turn is not 'favorable', by any means. I have probably lost more territory, I have lost invaluable mage-time, and, most likely, golems to magic duelers - instead of killing some Atlantean mages as I was going to do. In our position, its next to impossible to recover from; it was hard to hould our ground even without staling.
Being accused of a lie just added insult to injury.

I staled as Arco a few turns back, and just excepted it--period. Didnt get my turn in on time, even though I thought I had a few hrs. No rollback.

So, have you by chance changed your mind?- Or is your decision to go AI final?

Kuritza · #5 January 26th, 2009, 03:17 AM

Guys, you dont take into account one thing - you DONT HAVE to fight EVERYONE else, so in your position its not as fatal as it is in ours.

Do you guys know what 'circumstances' means? I was ready to send my turn on Friday, but since the hosting was delayed, I didnt - to have another look at the map, to disciss it with my teammate etc. But then **** happened so I couldnt even go online for 2 days. Then I ask for a rollback, thinking you are interested in a good game; instead, you saw it as an opportunity to seize an advantage. This is not what I'd call a good game, or good maneers. If you are so desperate to get an advantage - you can have it now, AI is weak.

Oh, and if you are curious, check this - http://www.llamaserver.net/doAdminAc...ion=showstales
I'm playing Bogarus there. 3 stales, and I still play, because indeed it is no big deal. Its not turn 79, and I dont have to fight against a joint effort of top players.
Why am I even trying to prove anything here? Heck.

Hi everyone.
After some consideration, I decided to try and take both nations to myself. However, since I have insane amount of work now (we have an exhibition on 3rd) and making proper turns under corruption requires huge amount of mm, I have to ask for a WEEK extension for current turn. From the next turn I'll try to go by schedule, though. If I see that I don't have time for this game, I'll switch to AI.

Meglobob · #8 January 29th, 2009, 08:13 AM

I have no objection to giving Dimaz the extra time, so he can take control of both nations.

But, a full week does after be a one off or we will never finish! After this I suggest at maxium 48hr extensions, applicable to everyone no matter what!

It would be good to finish this game before I after draw my pension!

Next team game must have VP's as the victory conditions.

The game will now host at 10:10 GMT on Thursday February 5th.

Now let's try to get this game back on track as MB suggests.

WL, sorry again, but I'll need 14 more hours to complete the turn. Last week was really hard, was working both Saturday and Sunday till evening and had no time at all for the game. I made half a turn already, but I need another evening to comlete.
