Fun? This ain't about fun! This is about rooting out heretics, cleansing the unclean in rivers of blood with wire brushes. It's about burnings, putting peoples on crosses, tossing them down wells, razing temples, and making sure that virgins can't be used by the evil sorcerors of *@#@@! to perform their unholy rites.

Heh heh heh. Okay, that last bit can be kinda fun.

Ahh, learning more about Dom2 every day. Not about fun, check. I shall endeavor to do more of those things you mention, although my neighbors may complain about the screaming that results from all of them.

Turn 7 is out!

Let's try to get another turn in this weekend since it is so early in the game. So, the deadline for this turn will be Sunday, August 14, 10:00 pm, eastern time (Portland, Maine time, which is the same time in Boston).

Hi All:

Turn 8 is out!

One player is going camping until early Thursday. So, I think we will host this turn on Thursday at 10:00 pm eastern time.

I am traveling to the Great State of Wyoming from Friday through Wednesday. I am happy to turn the hosting over to someone else as a substitute, or we could put the game on hold while I am away. (I have no more big trips planned for months.) Also, I am happy hosting the game manually, but if folks want to set this game onto a server, fine by me.

I will be gone over the weekend myself and welcome the delay. Also, the PBEM thing is working very well and I vote for keeping it just as is.

Have a wonderful time in Wyoming, which is the site of the finest natural park the world has to offer (Yellowstone).

I am lucky to have a brother who lives in Jackson, just south of the Parks (Grand Teton and Yellowstone).

I guess I'm ok with PBEM, though I'd much prefer a server game if it goes quicker that way. Because we are taking over 3 days a turn, for the first few turns no less, which should take no more than 10 minutes or so. I guess my assumption that a game with every race would be fun, but because there are more people, it's a lot slower too. The pros and cons. And, it's summer time, so all the vacations have to be factored in too.

Oh well, maybe I'll go buy Dungeon Siege 2, just to have something to play. Doesn't look that bad...

I think for a game this size a fair pace would be 48 hour hosting, whether PBEM or server. BUt I'd wait until summer is over though so the vacations slow down some...

Just waiting on Goblin.

Ummm - I didn't get turn 8... but can do it very quickly if it is sent through. Sorry I was wondering why it was taking so long, but did check the last couple of posts to see it was already out.
