MP: ANDalusian Sun: Lolomo wins after more than 2 years of gruelling competition!

[DrPraetorious]

HA! Your mewling struggles continue to amuse me. If you surrender now, I will show you no mercy whatsoever, but will keep you broken and chained as playthings in my games of unspeakable torture.

Of course, when I conquer you utterly, shatter your inept followers, and ascend to the throne of all, I'm going to do that anyway. So it really makes no difference what you do.

[Dimaz]

Hosting postponed for ANDalusian_Sun by 6 hours. The game will now host at 07:10 GMT on Saturday April 9th.
Player's request.

Are those wails of despair I hear? Fret not, for when I have ascended to sit My throne, you will all be dead to joy (not that it would come up) and sorrow. The anguish that you feel now? That is but a passing thing, with time the coming nightmare will be normal.

[Fantomen]

You are mistaken, those wails are naught but your own vain daydreams of glory. As blind as the mole ascended from earth, as blind the pretender pretending to know his future. As the cowards cower from the rustling wings of foolish thugs, true power matures in the shadows.

[DrPraetorious]

Is this what you tell your feeble, mewling underlings?

Psst. We're winning! But it's a *secret*, don't tell anybody.

You have done well, and earned yourself a place of honor - every other monday, I will trot you out of your cell to be my capering jester. Don't worry, you won't be missing out on any of the fun of our rivals - the missed 12 hrs of torture will be spread out over the remaining two weeks, in place of your nightly hour of sleep.

Hm, looks like we have a problem. I've been informed by one of the players that he received an in-game message from another one asking for NAP. Obviously this is clear violation of game rules. Personally I think we can either find a sub for the player who sent the message or warn him and continue. Probably he missed the OP part about the game being anonymous. However, as no information about player's identities has been disclosed (only that one of the players doesn't like to read the game rules for the game he's joining), I think we should warn him (by PM, probably) and continue if he promises not to repeat this in the future.

Yeah, I suppose this is probably the best solution.

Feel free to add some serious wrist-slapping on my behalf though.

Edit: Heh, great timing for my post. If it's a repeat offender I guess you're right (again) though. You may still feel free to slap...

[Dimaz]

OK, after considering the fact that similar incident happened during YARG1 game and the decision was to remove the player from the game, I'm going to do the same here. The offending player will be removed from the game, and I'll try to find a sub soon. I'm adding 48h to game timer.

Dimaz has asked me to post in the thread, as I mentioned to him that restarting might be an option.

As it's only turn 5, and since there's no guarantee a sub is going to be found, it might just be easier to cut our loses now, and restart with 13 players to have a 'clean' game (free of subs and broken rules), rather than wait an unknown amount of time for a sub to turn up.(As we certainly can't continue with an AI nation.)

I reckon I can re-do the map for 13 starts this evening in less than an hour, and there's a fair chance we could be back to turn 5 by Wednesday's turn deadline, resulting in no real time being lost.

(probably best to post replies to Dimaz rather than thread, as we don't want any more rules broken or ID's compromised)

Edit - I might just re-do the map anyway, since I have a bit of free time right now.

Edit 2 - Just realised we need a good sub as well Since given the player line-up, the high chance of a newb being unsure of the nation he'd inherit, and the unfamiliar plan of his predecessor, a newb would likely be just as unbalancing as staling or AI. Why can't players spend just 5 minutes to read the rules

Edit 3 - Ok, map is re-done for 12+1 if needed. Quite a nice fix actually, as a few of the poorer starts managed to get a bit of love in the process

[Dimaz]

So far we have 3 votes for restart and 0 for continuing.
