Any chance of this game switching to a 48hr timer?

There's been a great pace to the game so far, and while I don't want to be the one to slow things down, I stale turned the last turn, and only just avoided doing the same again this turn. I'm still pretty new to MP games, but as far as I can tell the vast majority of games have switched to 48hrs by turn 30 at the lastest. And while it's impressive to still be doing 24hrs at turn 42, it may be taking it's tole on some of the players.

Not sure what everyone else thinks, but I'm going to continue to struggle to keep with this game if it stays on a 24hr schedule.

Haha, I was just thinking about this, after the weekend break. We've made awesome time up to here, but it might be nice to afford a little breathing/thinking room now. I'm not so much struggling - yet - but as this is not my only game..... Well, I appreciate the extra time to think, as well as the comfort of knowing my opponents are not rushed or staling.

We declare war on the unholy kingdom of Sauromatia, they invaded the Sacred lands of Lanka and will be punished.
We invite any and all nation to rid the world of this treacherous nation.

Sieging a castle owned by Marverni is invading the Sacred (read: coveted) lands of Lanka then, is it?

I guess it's party time then. And I would also encourage all of those other people who are taking bites off of Marverni, to take advantage of Lanka's overextended position, and stake a more fruitful claim on those territories.

A shame that you would go to war over one province, and the handful of indie archers that you chose to throw at the situation. We even waited patiently until your sieging force failed and was driven off. Don't tell me you didn't see that army sitting there waiting, that I had dispatched the month Marverni's leader disappeared.

I think you wanted this war, so be it.

I may have lost a battle to the AL, but I didn't lose the province.
That land was still under the rule of Lanka as were the surrounding provinces.
Will you retreat or do you desire a war with us?

Wow, people requested a 48 hours turn, and I was about to do the same thing when it occurred to me that I'm the admin now!
Sorry people, I'll switch to 48 now, I can't make turn like this either.

A rider has been dispatched with our reply, Executor.

In other news, Sauromatia is looking to trade limited quantities of Fire, Air, Death, or Nature for Earth gems. We also may be willing to forge Dwarven Hammers or Blood Stones as part of our end of the trade - contact me if interested.

Does anyone have any wonderful air gems he would like to sell or exchange?
Please PM me.

Anybody know what's happening with this game?

From the admin log it appears that the current silly deadline date (19th Nov) is mainly due to the llamaserver going a bit nuts on the 24th Sept, but when 'Executor' appeared briefly on the boards on the 27th Sept saying he had internet problems, he/she also added extra time. 'Executor' is the admin for the game btw.

Guess we'll just have to wait a few more days to see if 'Executor' re-appears. If not then llamabeast will need to be contacted to get/overide the admin password for the game to continue. Unless somebody out there knows something

I know that I am itching to post a turn for this game.

I'll send a PM to Executor. >.>
