[Calahan]

Ok guys, we need a decision within the next ~12 hours regarding TC. Assuming no sub comes along in that time (fingers not un-crossed on that yet though), then we have two options that I can see.

1 - Allow TC to be turned AI.
2 - Get someone to amend the orders to an effective stale turn.

The immediate outcome of the first option is pretty obvious. The second option gives TC another stale, but does keep the nation 'open' for a sub to be found.

Personally, I don't feel this is 'my game' yet, having only subbed in 2 turns ago. So I don't want to make a decision myself that will affect several months of work by the rest of you, and without a sub, there is no 'good' option for TC that I can see. So some feedback from you all would certainly be appreciated But my own take is that if TC is lost to the AI or staling, then this game is over, and we may as well save time by crowning the worthy winner now.


With regards the TC-sub position, can I suggest that if any one of you here really wants to keep this game going, then you need to get active with sorting the TC-sub situation out. As most of you know, I subbed in here as part of a sub-swap deal to solve a subbing problem I had in another game I was playing. So if the continuation of this game means anything to anyone here, then might I suggest you find a game that needs a sub, and offer to do the same.

[Calahan]

Ok everyone, I've managed to find a sub for TC, with Maerlande very kindly agreeing to help us all out by taking up the stewardship. So can you please all thank Maerlande when you see him for saving TC from the AI. (thanks Maerlande )

Since that dark weekend in early May though, Maerlande is no longer on these forums. So if you want to arrange diplomacy with him, you either need to head over to the IRC channel (details are in the FAQ), or PM him over at the Dom3mods forum...

I've also added 12 hours to the turn to allow Maerlande time to settle in.

Think that's all for know

[Isokron]

I think you should give him more time if he wants it, TC is in quite a complicated situation at the moment from what I can tell.

Thanks Maer!

No fears I'm in good touch with Maerlande, and offered him all the time he needs. But so far he has only asked for 12 hours, as he said he had good free time today to settle into his new surroundings.

But I will of course extend the timer wthout question if he needs the extra time.


@ All - You might want to let Maerlande know (in-game message, IRC chat, Dom3mods PM) about whatever diplo agreements you might have with him. Some are likely obvious if he has occupied lands but other relations will be unknown to him. So it'd be great if you can let him know somehow of any diplo info he needs to know.

[Calahan]

@ All - I added a further 6 hours to the timer for Maerlande.

I've also PM-ed Graeme Dice, as his turn is still missing, and he would have staled several times had the game seen regular hostings over the past week. Hopefully he's still with us, but I'll let you all know should I learn otherwise. (I won't be delaying the game for him though unless he asks, as ~10 days without a hosting means this game needs to host asap to get some momentum going again)

[Calahan]

Ok folks, I have no idea what happened there. I forced the hosting for turn 76 (due to the usual Atlantis reasons), and the llamaserver appears to have hosted 2 turns in a row for some reason. I only got sent turn 78 as well (not sure if any of you got sent turn 77 or not)

I'll wait a few moments for the llamaserver to come to its senses, and to clear out any kinks, then roll the turn back to turn 77 where it should be.

Fingers crossed that a jinx isn't creeping into this game.


Edit - Please don't open those turn 78 files. You likely won't gain much info, but whatever can be gained, shouldn't be gained. Good sportsmanship and all that

Edit 2 - I've asked the llamaserver to roll the turn back, but so far it doesn't seem to be cooperating

Edit 3 - Ok, it appears we're back in business as a turn 77 file should have just appeared in your in-boxes. Please let me know if you spot any weirdness, so an attempt to fix it can be made asap.

Otherwise, lets get this game going again

[Calahan]

Turn delayed 16 hours by request of two players.

[Calahan]

All

I just found about about a death in my close family, so I'm not going to be around for a few days to sort admin stuff out with this game. The current turn is due to host shortly, but after that Hadrian is going to need to step back in to sort admin stuff out until my return, which is likely to be sometime towards the end of next week.

[Isokron]

Perhaps we should delay the turn until Calahan can get back ?
