TucoTuco - MA game for new/newish players (upload)

[JimMorrison]

News from the Steaming Lands that lay between Caelum and Abysia spreads quickly. In the grand fight between the Seraphs and the Demonbred, the Seraphs were the decided victor. Hordes of Abysia's finest were cut down in the driving rain in front of Caelum's castle, before a much smaller force of Iceclads. A hushed rumor circulates that the Seraphines who were trapped in the castle, neglected to show up for the battle, leaving 2 full battalions of Iceclad out of the decisive engagement.

Tungitri the High Seraph, and acting general of the Caelian southern army was furious. He blames the irresponsible Seraphines for letting the Abysian false-god limp off the field in a bloody mess. "10 more good men and that Cyclops would be in a glass case on Mount Caelum by now, but we should have had 100!"

After the tragic loss of Tengri to a rare jungle malady, many wondered if Caelum could ever rise to become a world power. It is quite true, the resilient descendants of the Yazata are clever and tenacious, and for that, this reporter salutes them.

That was a very beautiful battle imho.
Respect!

Hearing of this, the august Emperor of Tien Chi sends his congratulations!
It is also heard that a spirited engagement in the south between the holding forces of Abyssia who proudly marched out from the shelter of the strong-walled castle they built on the Tien Chi border for just that purpose and valiant vanguard of Tien Chi gloriuos army resulted in a decisive, if costly, victory for the Tien Chi army.
While some of Tien Chi infantry allowed themselves to be drawn out by Humanbred militia instead of meeting main body of Abyssians squarely, which allowed the later to reach some of the less important Tien Chi mages and slay them despite the valiant defence provided by bodyguard detachments, the withering hail of Tien Chi crossbow bolts, together with the magic laid down by the Celestial master and sharp counter-attacks by Imperial heavy infantry, proved in the end to be too much for undisciplined barbarians, who turned tail and ran. Some of their forces still continue to hold their castle, but with their numbers depleted, it isn't expected they could hold it for long when Tien Chi reinforcements arrive.

I am going to leave for a field work which would probably take about two weeks, beginning from Tuesday. For now I found no sub and I have heard that Fakeymcfake also searched for one. What do you think? May be it's time for pause? Or can you find someone for the game to continue?
I would prefer to not go AI, but if no other variants show...

[Darkstone]

I've just asked two players I know... hopefully one of them can do it. Have you posted a notice on the MP board?

[Fakeymcfake]

We've both posted and I don't know about Wrana but mine has been up for a few days now and I've not heard anything back. I'll only be gone for a week so it wouldn't be much more than a babysitting gig for whomever takes over for that time. I won't be leaving until Thursday so I'll need someone to step in before then, preferably at least a day in advance, so that everything can be worked out smoothly. Also, if you guys are willing to go on a break until Wrana gets back I wouldn't be opposed. As for myself I'll be gone from the 31st to the 6th or 7th.

Am I still admin for this game? Sorry if I am. Would any of you volunteer to take over for me?

[Wrana]

Currently I still have no reply. If there is no one by about 21-00 GMT, I formally ask to pause game or turn me AI if others prefer so. I shall be gone for about two weeks, as I said.

[Fakeymcfake]

I'd volunteer but I'll be gone soon and by the looks of it I'll have to go AI unless everyone agrees to a pause.

[Psycho]

I can sub for one of you if the game is on 48h. I'd like some details on what you want done if I take the sub. I've played pangaea once, but not tien chi.
