No problem; the hosting time has been set to 4:46 GMT Tuesday.

Valerius · #**252** December 28th, 2010, 06:11 PM

I've been postponing hosting so that C'tis doesn't stale. Pjoo hasn't logged in since Dec. 13 but he also hasn't been staling so he may be away for the holidays.

Ok. Thanks for giving me the Christmas break.

Zwago shivered in the frozen darkness. How long had it been? Months? Years? It was impossible to know; time had no meaning in this wretched place. No sun or moon ever ascended over the bleak horizon.

What he did know was that he was alone. He knew no word that described the feeling, but the half-numb ache in the lumps of scar tissue by his left and right shoulders were a constant reminder that it was there. It was worse than the hunger; the hard, rancid flesh of the occasional unwary Frost Fiend was barely able to sustain him. Worse, even, than the cold, so very far from the balmy jungles and volcanic isles of their youth. His youth.

The crunch of the snow under his talons echoed across the tundra as the trail of footprints behind him stretched closer and closer towards infinity...

At last he could take no more. He collapsed with a dull thud into a snowbank, unable or unwilling to take even one more step. The beating of his heart grew slower and slower as he welcomed death with silent revelry.

Suddenly, he saw something shimmer in the corner of his eye. No, not a light, but a sort of ripple in the air, almost imperceptible against the monotonous expanse of the lifeless realm. He recognized it instinctively: it was a planar rift. It could take him home! Filled with a sudden burst of energy, he jumped up and leapt through the veil before the opportunity was lost. Almost immediately he felt the heavy warmth flow over him. Home...

"? Zwago the Zmey drowned in Utterdeep."

Thanks for the update on Zwago.

Doesn't seem right that he survived all that only to return to a water province and drown.

Also, we had an unfortunate stale last turn as I didn't see Soyweiser's postponement request until too late. Sorry about that; I know you two have a tough fight going on.

I'm having PC trouble again. Something is making a burning smell which I think is my PSU. I've ordered a new one which I hope will arrive on Tuesday. I've done this turn but if I don't get my part I might have trouble getting next turn done. I'll be able to get on the forums elsewhere if that happens.

Valerius · #**257** January 9th, 2011, 11:59 PM

Ok, I'll keep an eye on things to make sure your turn is in. The current turn hasn't hosted yet since when it was having problems the llamaserver set the next hosting time for 4:55 GMT Thursday and we still have a couple of turns outstanding.

durecellrabbit · #**258** January 11th, 2011, 06:01 PM

My new PSU didn't come but I have managed to grab my installer off my HDD and get the game running on a older machine. So I shouldn't have any trouble there.

DragonRider · #**259** January 12th, 2011, 11:02 PM

Do we know that Soyweiser is okay for this turn? He hasn't posted in the thread since his stale last turn. I'd hate to see him miss two in a row.

Valerius · #**260** January 12th, 2011, 11:51 PM

Yeah, I was getting kind of concerned that your turns weren't in so I just postponed hosting by 24 hours. It looks like the llamaserver is having problems and so it had already added another 24 hours to hosting as well.

But I notice Soyweiser hasn't logged in since the 7th. Hopefully that stale wasn't too disheartening - I know you two have a fierce fight going.
