Please advise if the due date for the turn moves up. I am planning on it being due Wednesday.

Its due 0:25 GMT on Wednesday. Or, in my neck of the woods, 8:25 PM. Need me to delay it?

Oh good gods.

What a time to stale me out.

Just finished a critical battle with Marverni, kicking their butts. Now he's had a 'free turn' to recover. No idea what's going to happen there--if anything.

Had my *capital* attacked by a 'group of heroes' that defeated it and laid siege to my home province. So I've lost its gems, income, and research. For two turns now.

TWO armies staling in a province that couldn't support them. Now they're diseased and starving.

ARGH!

*cringes*

Sorry again IndyPendant. That was quite unfair, especially since you let me know in good time. Wish I hadn't forgotten.

The ritual summoning of the lord of sloth and order costs three earth gems, one water, and one death. Or just a private message.

Mhm, "lord of sloth, devourer of turns"... I like that.

I believe "lord of sloth and order" means "Lazy_Perfectionist"? Nice.

That should be ok, I think. That's what 7:25 CDT?

Lazy_Perfectionist · #68 August 7th, 2007, 11:07 AM

Yep. 7:25 Tuesday.
I'm lord of sloth and order...

I'm especially proud of the 'devourer of turns' descriptor for llamabeast. Thats what he server does. Eats up .2h, poops out .trns.

P.S. That was an especially inelegant phrasing. Coffee? Don't type before awake in morning.

No worries Llamabeast; I knew you didn't do it deliberately. I was just...a teensy bit frustrated, is all...

You know, I've actually been enjoying this game a bit more than Chinchilla, and there have already been a number of interesting minor twists. I may do a writeup from my viewpoint when it's all over, if anyone is interested.: )

(Can't do it now, cuz it may reveal too much info.)

I'd be very interested in that. Chinchilla has been boring because there has been no diplomacy going on. This game people have been talking to each other and everything.
