NEW EA GAME - Server Is Up. Game has started. - Page 25

abysia has missed one, and 2 of last 4
marvnie missed last one
ctis missed last 4
agartha missed 3
griefor has missed 4, and due to problems I don't think will restart.

I believe that agartha and ctis are being conquered. I wish that someone had gone AI. So in keeping with the ai after 2, unless someone says something (quickly) I will AI ctis, argath, and sauro.

Weird, Agartha struck back at me once when I started attacking them. They got all quiet after I killed their pretender, but that's kind of typical. >.>

This game has just been terribly ill fated..... I hope no one holds it against Chris, since there are two games running on the same server, that both started around the same time, and Glory is doing just fine.

Just a streak of bad luck, I'd say.

Even glory had it's share of bad luck when Ich's/Gandalf's server crashed and we had to restart. But Chris rehosted it and it's been going quite well since.

JimMorrison · #**244** July 1st, 2008, 12:59 AM

Oh it had its share, right at the start.

Just, this one has had far more than a fair share.

I second Chris being an all round top host and administrator :-)

This game certainly seems to have had a Misfortune 3 setting from the start though. ****e happens I guess :-(

(Edit) Just checked the status page and the sleepers have come alive! Agartha, C'tis, and Abysia have all submitted turns for turn 19. Any news from these players Chris? Only Marverni appears to be still AWOL. But 6 hrs to go before hosting, so you never know :-)

StrictlyRockers · #**246** July 1st, 2008, 05:00 PM

I also think Chris is a great host. He has proven his worth.

I'm easy. I'm in favor of a restart, but happy to play on.

JimMorrison · #**247** July 1st, 2008, 05:49 PM

I just sort of wish that Graphs were on, so we could get a sense of how "healthy" the game is as a whole at this point.

Isn't there a command the host can run that gets similar stats, and can be posted somewhere for us?

chrispedersen · #**248** July 1st, 2008, 10:30 PM

Cal,

They only showed alive, as I set them to AI. The nations seemed to be viable. So, I suppose they were voting with their feet.

I consider the game to be tainted by all the problems. And while I love the race I'm playing, I don't like problems or bad feelings.

So, if I were to vote, I'd vote to start another game - and honestly, preferably one not hosted by me =). I'd be happy to play with each and every one of you. And I'd really like to play the same race. But I don't want to encourage a game to fall down, especially for john, and other people that are doing well, and hopefully enjoying it =P

my .02!

well sorry for not getting back to you yesterday, but, i had no problem with this game (technically), i played the 2 turns up til yesterday, though i was forced to miss a turn because i came up to north spain to stay with a friend and until just now we couldnt get my computer working with his internet (router problem, but just fixed it)...

so i stalled last turn but the turns before that were no problem, however I do see that ive been put on AI already so considering that is unchangable, oh well

the technical problem i was having was only with that other MP game that i was starting. thanks for investigating though as I seem to be a bit unreliable on putting in turns everyday, i think i will opt out of playing any serious MPs until i really get situated with a job and living permanently somewhere again soon hehe

i wasnt expecting to lose connectivity for the remainder of this game, because I'd still be in spain (just in bilbao, now) for the next 2 weeks or so and it looked like abysia would be dead by then anyway regardless of what i do, or even game close to a finish....

i opted out of the other game because i didnt want to start up a new one, not knowing if id have every-day connectivity about a month from now.

anyhow.
good luck the rest of you on the rest of this game, looks like its going to be over soon anyhow.

chrispedersen · #**250** July 2nd, 2008, 05:27 PM

Well, I'm glad to know other games have technical problems too. =P

No problem effeDom.. was a pleasure to play with you. I would be fine with playing with you again. I just suggest you be clear you want a game with no or loose turn deadlines.

Bleh! The only option is to reset to turn prior to AIing.

Chris
