Okay, I have once again gained direct control over my nation and my brother Stavros is no longer acting as my intermediary.

Sorry about the lack of e-mail notification last turn. I've finally figured out the secret: If you pass "-preexec scriptname" then nothing will happen, but if you pass "-postexec scriptname", then it will work. So e-mail notification will probably work from now on.

I know that at least one person staled last turn. I'm sorry about that.

Are you going to back up the turn one move?

Zooko · #**224** August 28th, 2005, 09:06 PM

Sure. Just a minute.

Zooko · #**225** August 28th, 2005, 09:14 PM

Err, actually the e-mail announcements and the "recording backup copies of turns" were both connected to the same hook -- "-preexec" -- and so I don't have a backup copy of turn 19, so the best I could do would be to revert to turn 18, and that's too much.

I'm very sorry, Panther, but I'm going to leave the game going in turn 20.

By the way, I've reported the behavior of "-preexec" in the bug thread.

I updated the first post in this thread to show the locations of all teams, since I've now figured them out and I'm hereby telling everyone else.

My brother Arc is volunteering in Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, so the game is going somewhat slowly, as I wait til the last minute before I do his turn for him, since I don't know when he will return home and start playing again.

Tien Chi is engaged in a titanic struggle against the combined forces of Pangaea and Arcoscephale. Last month they had conquered all but two of our provinces, but this month we defeated two small armies and won back some territory.

Let it be known that all citizens of the nations formerly known as Pangaea and Arcoscephale will be treated fairly and paid a reasonable wage once their nations are properly Enlightened.

Regards,

Bwoo the Enlightener

Dear Unspecified Enemy:

Heh heh. That death match was a pretty stupid move on my part. I was imagining some big beefy opponent, not a swarm of 30 skeletons. :-/

I think if I had told my 13 Demons of Heavenly Fires to fire at Large Enemy Monsters instead of at Enemy Cavalry, then your Pretender would have died.

But anyway, I have to give you credit for a brilliant tactical reversal by bringing in a bunch of HARPIES of all things! If it hadn't been for those damned harpies then I either would have won and destroyed you, or I would have lost but left you with almost no army remaining...
