Opossum - Started

turn 2 is up.. i dont know if you're still around potatoman, but if you are, go for it.

i'm fine to wait. i mean, i'd rather play 30 turns tonight but if i need a delay I'd like to have one, so I'm fine granting that to others.

Postponed. I's just waiting for you Potatoman, so just play it whenever you get back online.

Good luck with the move!

Alright guys, tips for a fun game (taken from a post of mine on the Mongoose thread):

- Engage in lots of diplomacy. It's fun. Send messages to your neighbours, preferably in the character of your nation. Make threats, deals and alliances. One thing though - if you actually agree to a deal (such as peace for n turns, or exchanging items), do stick to it, otherwise you are likely to upset other players and make the game unfun.
- Post in-character stuff on this thread. See Tuidjy's posts on the "Neo Xekinima" thread for an excellent example of this. I really enjoy reading that thread.

People always say the most fun games are the ones with lots of messages flying around and posts on the forum. Silent games are fun too, but miss out on one cool element of multiplayer play - they're a bit more like single player versus very competent AIs.

Yeah.. looking forward to some diplomacy.. once I figure out who my neibhors are We're only one tunr in

But.. we should move forward soon, right? Potatoman said he'd be back today?

ALSO... new patch 3.10 is out. Are we going to switch to this? How/when? Llama?

[Potatoman]

Posting from work... I will hopefully be able to take my turn today. The broadband installer guy is going to be coming around sometime before 6 pm.

Thanks for waiting, everyone!

Good to hear the move went well, and gl with the bradband installation.

Rock on. Turn 3 begins.

Um... So I think we all got the following message from host:

"Ermor had an unexplainable increase of wealth this turn. This could be caused by cheating."

Should I just assume this is tripped by a very nice good luck event early in the game when that could cause a large perturbation in income? I am not accusing of cheating... but the llamaserver autosent this message.

I've never seen a message like this before... someone reassure me please

[llamabeast]

I have seen this before, occasionally - it seems to be caused by overzealous anti-cheating measures by Dominions, and has never so far in my experience corresponded with any actual dodginess. Just to be sure I checked Ermor's turn, and he has the amount of money you'd expect, so definitely nothing to worry about.

I havent seen turn 3 yet, but i can assure you i havent done anything weird nor illegal in the first 2 turns. Anyway, thanks for checking the turn file llamabeast since I wouldnt like to be suspected of cheating.

[Zylithan]

Very good. I suspected it was just dom3 being overprotective , but wanted to confirm. I'm unaware of any way to cheat anyways, and I trust everyone here.

No insult meant!

Looking forward to meeting people in the game..
