hey folks,

I changed the reminder time to 9 hours. I always prefer this, because work and sleep are typically 8 hours for most people, so if you ever forget a turn and go to sleep or work before the reminder comes in, you man not be helped by it much.

if the extra three hours is, for whatever reason, a great annoyance to anybody, I can always switch it back.

good idea - i should do that for alexandria. the 1am reminders are like twisting the knife when you stale

Looks like I'm going to have to politely request a 24hr delay for the next turn (turn 6) as I'm going to be out all day on Sunday.

Was hoping turn 5 would have hosted by now so that I could have done my turn 6 tonight without needing a delay. But it hasn't hosted yet, so....

'Please can I request a 24hr extension for turn 6'

Apols and TIA.

[Omnirizon]

not a prob Calahan.

I don't suppose you could find a sub to do one turn for you? This early in the game doing a turn is typically pretty simple, and a pretty straight forward set of instructions is all that is required.

then again, if you're leaving now, you don't really have time for that either. Whatever happens, no worries, have fun, and we can delay game for a day.

I can happily withdraw my delay request now :-) but thanks for accepting it in principal :-)

The current turn has just hosted, so I can get my turn done tonight now :-) and not worry about tomorrow.

I guess going to the status page, hitting 'refresh' all the time, and saying "Come on, host you b@stard" really does work :-)

[Omnirizon]

lol. the '@' sign is hyperlinked, and clicking it prompts me to send some mail to someone at b[at]stard.

any rate. no prob.

and in other news, Caeluem has launched a suprise attack on a province of questionable value, but right next to our home capital; undoubtedly trying to get a look at what Shinuyama are up too. Troops were dispatched immediately, and war is expected to follow. However, there is still likely a lot of indie territory between our two borders, and open conflict will probably be delayed.

[Omnirizon]

Ermor is on the verge of staling.

do we delay?
I typically say no, since no one asked for a delay. I'm about to leave for a few hours this afternoon though, and am ambiguous. If other players want to, we can. otherwise the game goes on as planned.

edit: i just noted that the server hasn't updated in almost two hours. i'm not sure what that means. will the host even process? could ermor have sent in a turn and it isn't showing? anyone?

i think safest bet is to delay hosting until llama can be contacted and we know what is going on.


continued edit: llama got back to me. ther was an error on the server that was preventing it from updating. it's working normally now, and I'm going to allow it to host.

[Omnirizon]

not only has Caeleum launched a suprise invasion on our territory, Abysia refuses to acknowledge our embassy missions, and will not engage in diplomacy, a sure sign of hostile intent.

Shinuyama, it seems, is looking at a two front war, and it hasn't even been half a year. Other nations are encouraged to rise up and take action against Caeleum and Abysia, before they have managed to carve up Shinuyama together, and gained a large lead in lands and income. Their home capitals are 164 and 56, respectively. We will keep everyone updated on all their troop movements. Jump into their backyards and make a grab while we are keeping them occupied.

[Dragar]

Beg pardon?

Abysia has not noticed any embassy missions - perhaps I'm missing where I am meant to see messages?

Further Abysia has made no hostile movements towards Shinuyama. Clearly some early posturing here for early advantage..

[anticipatient]

Well I staled, which is kind of a bummer for turn 6 or whatever, but I'll look at it as enforced savings and . . . generally conservative behavior

Sorry about that, guys. It looks like either I downloaded the turn file but didn't copy it, or the file got ruined some other way. I remember expecting a new turn but not having one to play, and then I had to leave on a trip, so I didn't get the chance to check the forums or anything.

Apologies guys. I wouldn't expect anything other than a stale if I did the same thing again I may be wrong, but I am inclined to believe that it was an error on my end, not llamaserver's.

Oh, I may have also sent .2h files (for two or three different games) in one email and llamaserver only receives one. I should be able to recover just fine.
