MP Game - Back to the Fray (noob/int game)-running

Has Thufir done his turn yet?

[Thufir]

My apologies, but I reset the clock earlier this morning. I confess, but I am struggling a bit to keep up w/ this 36 hr pace. I'll try to keep up for the next turn or two, but I may request to move back to 48hr if I don't find a way to do my turns more quickly.

This post is much belated, but hopefully Bluebird and Jeff will check out the old BttF thread once more. I just wanted to say thanks to all those who have given such a tough fight in this game. Bluebird, I know after an opening round where you were instructed as to the criticallity of maintaining a minimum of PD, you did field some impressive Niefel Jarls and wreaked some havoc among my SCS (iirc, you took out 2 AQs and some nicely equipped Tartarians, among other stuff).

And, recently of course, Boron you proved the power of astral magic in your initial victory over your capital. Your enslaved/charmed at least half my army, and had you not been screwed by an unfortunate (and totally unreasonable) rout, the outcome of the war was far from a certain Man victory.

Finally, Jeff, congrats (and thanks!) for a long fought war with Pythium. You were out resourced and out researched, but from everything I heard from Boron, and what I could see in the graphs you fought a very long war to very good effect. Its clear that you made an excellent use of tactics, and adapted to circumstances quite well, always varying tactics when something was proven ineffective. You certainly had a very positive effect on the game, and thanks for sticking it out!

This has been an awesome game, and thanks to everyone involved!

PS. I'm working on my turn now, and should submit before 7pm PST.

One water queen down, two to go!

OTOH, it seems that Atlantis has discovered the magical tartarian tree, supplying a never-ending stream of fully equipped tartarians

The server needs another reset, I'm unable to connect. AGAIN. This is getting bloody tiresome. I'd also like to move to 48-hour QH, if it's okay with everyone else.

Sounds good to me. And yeah the connection is flakey. Seems to be a symptom that increases in frequency as long-running games go on...

I believe this is correct.

I've now set to 48h QH and restarted

Hey! Someone knocked down my GoH!

[Thufir]

Sorry to do this again, but I'm going to reset the clock in order finish my turn. I should finish in the next hr or two.
