If you have the time to post on this board, punk, you have time to do Turn 6. Early turns aren't hard. Punk.

Many people are intimidiated by out-right rudeness by a punk, punk. I am not one of them.

I'm inclinded to be more sympathetic to Lazy, because his failure to respond withing 2 hours of my posting indicates HE MAY ACTUALLY BE BUSY.

Your utter lack of respect for another human being disgusts me. I'm reporting your post to the moderators.

It was a joke. I don't need your sympathy. I normally get my turns in very quickly, but if the host time is going to be 30 days, then I'll take my time. If you want to complain about the host time, then complain to whomever set the host time to that, not the people taking advantage of it.

Calm down guys, this is a place to post comments about game you play. This doesn't mean you can personally attack other players you dislike for whatever reasons.

I'll point out a board rule section that directly applies to this case:

3) USER FIGHTING:

If you post in this forum, we expect you to contribute positively to a conversation. If you disagree with someone, great, explain your point of view, have an open discussion. Please do not disparage the other person. Personal attacks are unacceptable. They just lower the brow of all involved. If you don't like someone, talk about it on ICQ, MSN, AIM, YIM, your journal, or your blogger, but not here. People who bait or bash members or mods may be banned without notice.

Flaming, humiliating, ridiculing, or belittling other members will not be tolerated. This includes blatant disrespect of others whether it is through negative language or general attitude. We see no difference between straight out calling someone stupid and using creative language and attitude to imply that person is stupid.

Trolling is prohibited. Trolling is whenever someone is clearly, deliberately posting in a manner for the purpose of angering and/or insulting the other participants of the board. Trolling could be directed towards one user or a group of users. Trolling DOES NOT encourage further discussion, it only encourages personal attacks (if left unchecked) and will not be tolerated.

If you get out of hand you will be warned, if the negative behavior continues you may be banned. Nobody likes it when this happens, so play nice! What actually constitutes out of hand or negative behavior is at the discretion of the staff.

Cool down and keep it civil please.

Seeing as how Jazzepi is a threat to my coastline, I don't suppose we could ban him from the game? Please? Pretty please?

[Lord_Bob]

Well that's good, because I was joking to.

And I understand that you have to look after yourself, and if that means delaying a turn for days, then that's what you'll do.

[Lord_Bob]

Oh, and I am pretty sure Lazy_Perfectionist is just burned out.... but the early turns are important, but not difficult.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Sorry. I'm back. Turn didn't come in for several reasons, but I'll focus on just one for now. I took a while because I wanted to see how the llamaserver ended up. If Llama can only check email once a day...

Anyways, I encourage people to send in their turns early this turn- though its no loss if they don't. Since I went last, I'll send my turn once I get my new turn file. It received my turn file 25 minutes ago, but I haven't seen my turn yet (possibly just att acting up again, not llama- att's been culprit once before)? Anyways, meandering aside,

Get in turn early as convenient in order to give time to work out any issues. If this turn gets through without any intervention required (no emails being refused, turns not being sent, etc.), then things'll be speed back up to a normal pace. If someone does have issues llama needs to work out, we'll keep a relaxed clock until either the issues fixed or llamabeast has unfettered internet.

Off to sleep now. I'll see you all this weekend, and I'll catch up on everything, hopefully to everyone's satisfaction.

Ulm (vanilla, evil Ulm), Vaettiheim, C'tis, Pythium, Midgard are all waiting for .2h.
Please get your turns in tonight or Friday. The current deadline is 0400 GMT, or midnight EST. As I've heard of no issues, and the latest llamainfo reports a day without problems, I won't be postponing if a problem arises _after_ noon on Friday. After this turn hosts, it'll resume a thirty hour schedule.

However, I hope we are all able to blitz the game this weekend and get past the expansion stages. In a game this size, I understand planning a blitz is impossible, but I hope we can pull it off to get several turns out this weekend.

In order to achieve this, I'll be checking my email regularly and trying to get my turns out as quickly as possible. If we can't pull this off, its as I expected due to the large size and varying timezones, and a not an issue for me to care about. But I hope it happens.

For history and future reference, not trusting my memory.

Atlantis and Midgard have signed a standard NAP.

Unknown dominion seen to the north, the castle of the ai Man, Towers of Chelm seen to the SouthEast. R'lyeh seen to the west, and my expansion hindered by bad luck in battle. I'm still able to expand at an acceptable clip, but I'll be nowhere near my mathematical ideal. At least I'm doing better than my last game with Atlantis where I only barely claimed my adjacent provinces. We'll see how it looks at the end of the year.

I'd be in a lot better shape if I could get by these crossbowmen and heavy cav indies that have 50+ troops in them...
