Could we change the hosting interval to 48 or 24h? I've just staled a turn simply cause I'd missed a warning mail, and it was quite painful. And imo we won't be able to finish the game in any reasonable time with the current huge interval anyway.

Well, sorry about your stale. 24h? No way. I've things to do beyond playing Dom3. And I was really hoping, Vanheim would keep neutrality this time, but now things have gotten complicated again for me.

But of course we could take advantage of quickhosting in the cases I (and all others) get the turn in earlier. I'll ask somebody to turn Atlantis to AI. The 5 remaining of us should often manage to get to quickhosting.

Hello again all

I can turn Atlantis AI if you like, or take a look at the position if you are looking to sub them out. Since an AI water nation could attack anybody, which is a randomness that not everyone welcomes.

Atlantis' email is changed. Of course you could also sub instead, if you find it interesting enough.

duncanshriek has just swapped Atlantis over to my email.

Have taken a quick look, and the position seems ok to me. I can still switch them to AI if that is the preferred solution, but would also be prepared to take them over on a permanent basis. I don't do the whole holding grudges thing, so if I did take them over I would play only as I thought best, and not driven by events that occured during my brief stint as steward of C'tis.

I'm easy either way though, but I just have a hatred of seeing viable nations turned AI. There is still a few days left before hosting, so will wait for some feedback before doing anything. But wouldn't want to do anything that isn't agreed by the main players in the game.

I think we should get Mictlan's opinion.

Sadly he staled last month, so he didn't get to see all the valiant running away my fearful lizards are accomplishing. Do we need to put the game on hold? There's not much point in playing without him.

I also have things to do, and that's why I'm for shorter hosting. Once you receive your turn in 3,5 days after you'd done it, it takes twice time just to remember what were your plans, so I have to do my turns within the last hour before the deadline. And I can't remember a single notable quickhost since ~turn 40. What about 50h, if 24 is not enough?

Hey guys (and gals)

Any feedback out there on whether or not I should play as Atlantis, or just set them to AI? Willing to do the former, duncanshriek (as admin) asked me to do the latter, and happy myself to do either

If no one minds, ulm can also be switched to AI. Another game is wasting all my life(circa 6 hours/turn) and I can not afford playing here.

And if anyone has interests, I will welcome him to replace my position.

Since Mictlan has gotten Arcane Nexus up, let us recapture the measures needed to counter a premature game end.

A) Minimize the gains through Arcane Nexus:

No usage of gems besides astrals (For rituals or forging; also for battles?).
No usage of astral gems either, since they are needed to get Arcane Nexus down.

B) Get it down as soon as possible:

Kill the caster: How many S8 candidates does Mictlan have? Where are they? Any infos anybody? I'm in the dark there.

Overpowering would probably be to hard. Is there any known Enchantment site? I don't know any.

Dispel it: Since my Gift of Nature's Bounty fired first, it got the open global slot. Arcane Nexus overpowered Atlantis' Maelstrom. Would be nice to know, how many extra gems were put into that Maelstrom, but only the disappeared Jim Morrison knows the answer.

Volunteers, please donate gems! Alone Jotunheim is not in the shape to win the gem income race against the Nexus.
