Dammit, I just got back online and you find a guy. Oh well.

Drama++. Awesome.

Fakeymcfake · #73 September 2nd, 2009, 07:14 PM

No no, no drama to be had. While I was looking forward to the game I fully expected something terribly terribly wrong to happen that would keep me from getting online despite my provider's assurances that everything would be working monday.

So, to whomever ends up taking my spot (as it appears to be in some contention still) please enjoy yourself and I'm sure another game will come along soon.

If you want, I am willing to back out of the game and let you have my spot. I was initially coming in to take ghoul's theoretically but not actually vacant spot anyway.

Nah, it's for the best really. I just started up school again and looking at the workload I don't know if I'd be able to keep up. Have fun with my blessing.

Yeah, I usually reserve spots longer than this, but I read between the lines from your posts and came to same conclusion. So, hopefully, no hard feelings?

On other news, I started the game before anything else superdramatic happens. The game seems fine, there even isn't even a single illegal pretender!

I extended the clock 24h for the first turn to accomodate if someone was really counting on the Friday start in their scheducle.

Oh, and just to avoid any further confusion, I'll give a more accurate definition to the victory conditions, which were defined as thus in the first post during recruitment:

Quote:

Victory Condition
1)40% of capitals and provinces held for consecutive 2 turns (when someones winning, you have to act immediately!)
2)The surrender of other players

With thirteen players 40% of capitals is 5,2 ~ 5. We have 132 provinces, 40% of which is 52,8 ~ 53. So a player will win if he holds 5 capitols and 53 provinces for 2 consecutive turns. Compared to many other games, this is pretty "easy" to achieve, so people are highly encouraged to keep an eye out for potential winners and take pre-emptive actions well before they can reach the requirements. It's especially dangereous if someone manages to take the 5 capitols, since air-dropping around to take the province requirement really isn't that hard.

None at all Burn, good luck to you all in this game.

Alrighty, because we got hit by an extremely rare bug, we needed to restart. I won't go inot details, but basically, Intostructure, the player of R'lyeh was comletely unable to get his turn file. I won't go to the details, but here is Llamabeast's assestment of the situation when I talked to him in IrC:

Code:

[01:14]	llamabeast_	I don't know what to do about this guy's e-mail issues
[01:14]	llamabeast_	I still can't log into the llamaserver
[01:14]	llamabeast_	Something like it has happened occasionally before though
[01:14]	llamabeast_	From time to time there are files that, when sent, never arrive
[01:14]	llamabeast_	I know that sounds like superstition but it's true
[01:14]	llamabeast_	Nothing throws an error so I have no idea what causes it
[01:15]	llamabeast_	I think you'll either have to let him stale this turn, or restart

Since staling the first turn isn't fun for anyone, I decided to restart since it's just turn 1.

Still no turn file. Don't know what to say guys.
I feel bad holding up a show that's been held up so much already. If you want to omit/replace I'd understand.
