I'm back. I will reset the timer for 72-hour turns.

Holy cow - did I ever screw that up! In the process of trying to set the game so it would host a few days from now, I apparently moved the hosting time into the past, and it hosted (twice!!!) before I realized what I had done.

I can try to roll it back, or I can stale while y'all take free shots at me, either way is fine with me.

I would prefer a rollback. Also, I am afraid I won't be able to do more than one turn a week. Apologies, I am so busy these days

OK - the game is rolled back to turn 72. I have submitted my turn. I will just leave the clock on its very long timer, so let me know when your turn is ready and uploaded, and I will then force-host.

I am currently writing my thesis, expect no frequent turns from me either.
I will totally attempt to troll Shinuyama a bit though.

Gurthang messaged that he will not have the time to fight on, so I went ahead and closed the game out. Many thanks to Llama for running the server for us, and many thanks to the players. I think it was November - and a turn somewhere in the late teens - when I subbed in. I had a great time.

I hope to have time soon to write up a bit about how the game looked from my perspective.

Congrats to your win RonD! You see, there was a reason why I attacked Shinuyama early. From SP testing, I am fairly certain that Rose Ulm can Trollface/Rush anybody without something like an awake SC immortal Pretender early on (spies to lock down the cap, early summonable troops to get monomentum, Mages that dont need much research to kill things), so I tried took out the nation I saw as the largest threat asap. I may have did it without Acro interfering.
It was propably a bad move to attack Pythium without having the means to finish it quickly, but I saw a great opportunity to eliminate Pythiums standing army with some cooperation from Mictlan, which didnt quite work out as it should have (wasted an army I needed not to have lost).
The next mistake was no longer being diplomatically active, as well as not bringing Anti Thugs to bear earlier against Pythiums harbingers.
