Looks like Ulm's gonna stale. What's up?

Did Eldanesh stale last turn? It looks like the last time he posted was the 8th. Maybe something came up? Should we pause the game and look for a sub? Seeing how Ulm is involved in so much fighting right now, it would kinda throw the game off if he staled a bunch in a row.

Do we have an admin?

It's also entirely possible that he "quit" after realizing that he's dead, and thus started staling. Which is the assiest thing you can do to the rest of the folks in the game you're in, but it still happens. Instead of putting yourself AI, or fighting your wars to the bitter end, you just quit. He even started them, he should've had the courtesy to follow them through. Or in the case of "something having come up" putting up a post about it.

But nah, no post and no fighting.

Him staling wouldn't throw the game off a whole lot, though, because he has no army to speak of anymore. There's no point putting another person in that position. He's going to die anyway. He's pretty much in the same situation as Ermor was, and as a result, I'd say him going AI would be a lot more sensible.

No sub (because putting a person in a position like that would be awesomely crappy for that person), AI. If something came up... Well, as I said, he could've said something. He should've said something. He didn't. Thus, the assumption is that he quit.

I believe he had something come up and we should maybe postpone the turn for a while waiting for him at least to post here, i'm not saying wait indefinetly but at least 1-2 day we can and see what happens.

I do not believe this 'staling' is intentional, i doubt anyone in this game is so lame to do that on purpose, at least i hope so

PS.
Maybe some problem with the new patch ?

Well, as I said, he should've said something in the thread if things aren't working for some reason. I'd say we shouldn't postpone anything, just let him stale something like 3 times and turn him AI as seems to be the usual fare when people don't post that they need more time to make their turn. He isn't doing so well that giving his nation to someone else would be justified, and he isn't doing so badly that 3 turns would kill him completely (he's got a lot of land after all) - if he comes back in those 3 days, he'd still be in a shape to do something.

Although, if he has (sudden) connection troubles, that'd be different - then you still have other choices, like net cafes, libraries, friend's places and so forth to send in a post from, but obviously that's far less expected of you, but games still have to go on in your absence, especially if you don't do anything to send in a message telling that it's your internets that's being an ***.

EDIT: And yes, I get a bit cranky when I can't get my Dominions fix. ;p

Yeah, he's staled once so far. You can check: www.llaamaserver.net->Mongoose->Admin options->Show staling data. It's the only admin option that doesn't need a password - maybe a slightly strange place for it.

I will PM him.

The alliance for good has has discovered massive blood hunting centers hidden deep within Abyssia territory. They have been summoning massive arsenals of demons to slaughter the innocent beings of the world. But fear not, although demons are powerful, they are no match for the combined forces of good. The world will be saved.

You can identify these blood hunting centers by looking for a temple with around 4 demonbreds stationed there. Please report all illegal blood hunting activity. Children under 17 should not try fighting demons at home.

I don't know why our war notice didn't get posted before but since it hasn't I'll make the point.

We have decided to remove the evil nation of Abyssia that consorts with demons and is so deranged that they think virgins are for sacrificing instead of bedding.

Hardfeldt · #**189** October 13th, 2007, 02:42 PM

As part of the alliance, Marignon has joined the crusade against the sinful Abyssians and their hideous ways of sacrifices and demon dealings. Let our flames cleanse away all heresy and decay.

fabio80mi · #**190** October 14th, 2007, 03:50 AM

The nation of Abysia will make the so called 'alliance' pay dearly for this impudence.

Reports indicated that Mourn Son of the Sun , false god of Marignon has been killed by one of our heroes.

Similar fate happened to Slither , false god of Arco who also was killed by our superior forces.

Let all the world know that Abysia shall from now on be called god-slayer
