MP: NoobTown - MA noob game Running)

Fortunately I have not been in a position yet where I've been impacted like this. But everytime I have seen it, the players are genuinely sad for what happened and wish it could be undone, but the consensus, particularly because of the corruption problem, is to move forward as-is.

I try to look at it this way. In war sometimes bad luck and good luck and bizarre things happens. This falls into that category. I hope I can look at it the same way if/when it happens to me.

At the end of the day its a game. So I'm going to be fine either way, but the precedent from other games has been to just keep going.

Cheers.

I really wish someone would just knock me out of this game already.

But since no one has, I'm just going to chime in and say that I've also heard horror stories of roll backs ruining games. I have no idea how rare this is, and roll backs do still occur in many games. Anyway, in my opinion Torgon should be granted a roll back, if he feels it's important enough. Generally, though, I don't think a single staled turn should warrant a roll back. If you do decide to do a roll back, it's important, that Torgon does his turn in a gentlemanly fashion, not taking into account any moves the other players have made (obviously).

Also, as Nightbringer said, if the roll back does screw up the game, it should probably count as a victory for him (or Matty, I don't know who's leading).

That's just my two cents. Ultimately, it's up to you guys to decide.

I've been in 2 games before that attempted rollbacks, in both cases the game was abandoned within 3 turns of the rollback. Both had issues introduced by the rollback; although in the first case the main problem was the original bug.

Since Torgon has 3 stales now, but has had no problems posting and admining another game; I'm pretty much assuming that he has spat the dummy.

What do you guys want to do?

I am willing to concede or play on. Either way. There is no way I will win or deserve to win. Man has kicked my butt in every battle. Pythium destroyed me in the one and only battle and I couldn't finish him off. I have no doubt Abysia would too!!

To me it was a battle between Man and Abysia. I will concede unless you want some target practice in which case I promise to fight the best that I can.

I agree that his main armies were tactically the best I've ever seen, great composition, placement and scripting, and first turn fog warriors on the W9 blessed wardens makes them almost unbeatable.

Strategically though 3 or 4 main armies only hold 3 or 4 provinces, so my strategy was to attack everywhere that he is not, and let my global kill all his deployed mages in his main armies.

Also got a couple of mage teams able to first turn iron bane and rain of stones those big armies if they try to attack anywhere crucial, which was the best way I could think of to inflict massive casualties on them.

Okay, if there are no objections I'll shut the game down tonight, since I suspect that's what Flop would prefer.

Was good to play with both of you, and thanks for the game.

Sorry I went for you first Flop, but Strands of Arcane Power was always the core of my strategy this game, and I had to get rid of those archtheurges before I could put it up.

Cheers,

Was a good learning experience. This was my 2nd full MP game and I've got to admit I feel more comfortable with this one and Noobaphobia under the belt.

Flop: I appreciate the tip about having at least 1 PD (THat was in Noobaphobia).

Nightfall. We are both in team game. Look forward to playing you there.

Flop. I probably won't survive Noobaphobia much longer. Hopefully we can get in a game elsewhere.

Torgon: Having fun in March Madness.

Cheers folks!
