Only 1 guy handed in turn so far with 2 hrs to go, I've taken the liberty to extend 24hrs... There won't be more unless an extension is asked for!

Well we have a repeat, 1 guy handed in turn only and almost hosting time.... so extended.

Should we just change to 96 hr hosting?

96 hrs. might not be a bad idea. Though we may also want to discuss where this game is going. For a while now, we've had some trouble with everyone getting turns in. The game's gone on over a hundred turns, and shows no sign of ending soon. It may be that people are just tired of it.

So, the question is this: do people wish to continue the game, or should we just call it?

I'm worn out, but I can go on, and after having fought so hard for victory after a crazy comeback I'm inclined to follow through with it, I think I just about wringed all the end game experience with ryleh as I can. This game really taught me how to maximize ryleh's potential.

I did note that people are doing half turns (I can understand why... I'm not doing full turns myself):

Atlantis: Slow in retaking empty raided provinces (well... not so empty anymore after 1+ year of raiding), seems to be generally micro fatigued and not really doing much.

Ryleh: not fully scripting forge / rituals / army orders / logistics. Micro fatigued but hanging in there.

Patala: Overwhelmed by the nation, kinda attacked atlantis but went limp from over-micro fatigue. It looks like 2 boxers into round 10 and dead on their feet =P.

Man: Weary of the crazy micro should he declare a war (Pangaea don't count), thus ended up just kinda sitting and hanging, sorta like Patala except they went limp after declaring war (It's the same with me in another game, so I know).

Pangaea: Props for hanging on and sticking to it this far, but not much they can do at this point.

Agartha: Subbed in a critical moment just when the tide of war is shifting between them and ryleh, alas no time to adjust to nation tactics and did as well as they could, now the war that lasted 5+ years is all but settled. Also running out of steam like the rest of us, subbing into a pressure cooker situation didn't help.

So... assuming my assessment is close, we might as well call it, but if I'm wrong and any of you have hidden reservoirs of energy, let's play.

Btw Otherling, seems everyone but you and Pan has turns done, I'll force host once your turn is in.

I'm willing to concede to Ryleth, though I wouldnt mind playing along a bit further, just to finish 2 projects I'm planning - it would take only 3-4 turns.

If you wish to close this game I'd happily slug it out against the ai.

okay just waiting for word from Patala, Agartha and Atlantis.

Oh in case the project affects us, remember to declare NAP cooldown with us ;-)

Sorry for not turning in my turn, been a really busy couple of weeks now, but, as you have already stated, my role in the game is pretty insignificant and pretty much all i can do in my turns is capture a raided prov.

To be honest, i'd be glad to see this game end, but seeing as it's not really my game any more (and hasnt been for quite some time), i'm ok with it continuing.

If the game should end i agree on conceding it to ryleh.

I'll be honest. I haven't really been enjoying this game for a while. I'm slowly pushing into Patala's territory, but the thought of how long it would take to conquer them completely...

I'd have no problem with ending the game and declaring anyone the winner, really.

Okay I think we can go on, only waiting to hear from Mauxe. For those who isn't enjoying it anymore, what you can do is ask for a sub while keep playing, once a sub is found you can swap out gracefully, I think its win win as it saves you time while someone else can get some enjoyment and late game experience out of it.

I'll keep it up for a bit.
I definitely don't have the involved turns I should with a nation of this size.. but I've never had a nation of this size and there is a @#$%^-load going on!
