Hmm, can't imagine why Mictlan objected to you jumping into the middle of their war.

Good news that some tarts were killed, though!

I need to add about 12 hours to the turn - I am on the road. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Oops, I owe Valerius an apology. It seems I jumped the gun on our NAP. I got a bad feeling that I screwed up when I saw Abysia did not attack me this turn, while I launched a pretty massive assault. So I looked back and realized I was supposed to give the orders on turn 67, with the attack taking place on 68. I try to comply with my NAPs and this was a pretty major botch on my part, especially since Valerius has been more than honorable.

I am open to any solutions Valerius - a rollback while painful, is fine with me if others don't mind. Or if you want to play on as is, I can just concede the victory to you. I dont want to win via treachery or have you think it was intentional. I think it was just how you worded the PM so that turn 67 stuck in my head even though you were very clear - I just didn't check until after I saw the turn host.

I'm okay with a rollback if that's what Valerius wants. Resending the .2h file isn't that big of a deal to me.

Valerius · #5 April 4th, 2009, 10:34 PM

Well, that was a surprising turn!

Thanks to both of you for being ok with a rollback. If it is ok with Mictlan as well then I would like to take you up on the offer since the attack was unintentional and I was pretty unprepared. In any case, I wouldn't want you conceding the war DC - that would feel like an empty victory to say the least.

If we do rehost I of course won't change my orders - just resend my turn.

DonCorazon · #6 April 5th, 2009, 01:18 AM

Ok, I am going to presume Mictlan is ok with a rollback and hopefully won't mind just resending his turn. Thanks, and sorry again for the mix-up on my part. Now I will have to be extra-creative on the following turn to come up with some surprises for Abysia!

Valerius · #7 April 5th, 2009, 12:09 PM

Thanks! I have resent my turn.

Valerius · #8 April 7th, 2009, 06:36 PM

Well, that was painful. I think I liked your first attack better, DC.

After having such excellent luck with horrors attacking provinces and scouts then taking over my luck changed this turn. In almost every case the scout arrived before the horror.

BTW, Burden of Time was a nice touch - boots of youth won't help me against that.

DonCorazon · #9 April 9th, 2009, 03:06 AM

Hehe V, it was mutually painful - I liked your first - "passive resistance" non-attack better than the endless horror spam. The newer players in the game will enjoy that experience should they have the chance to fight you. I remember the first time I got horror spammed I was like - wtf - I just lost my entire kingdom in 1 turn...

Anyway gents, I need to ask for a 24 hour extension. Just returned from a week of business travel and its the wife's b-day tomorrow. I almost have my turn done, but need to give it a careful lookover to counter Valerius's insidious plans

We may even consider going to 72 hours though I have enjoyed the quick pace in this game. Things will speed up for me after Thursday in any case. Thanks, dc

I'm glad you extended hosting. I was thinking of asking for a delay as I would have had to rush to complete my turn.

Now if I can only think of something effective to do. The horror spam was almost a complete failure - not only did I not take many provinces but I think you got most of them back the same turn when your troops moved. Time to try Plan B. Hmm, I did have a Plan B, didn't I?

I'm ok with sticking with 48 hours, with delays as needed. My empire is becoming smaller and easier to manage anyway.
