Perpendicular won by Folket/hako

[Folket]

I'm trying my server with a fast game to see that everything works fine.

We will play on Fourmagedon. Random middle era nations.
settings are default but masterpassword, magic sites 65 and renaming allowed.

IP: 80.244.74.216
port: 2010

Hosts every day 5:00 swedish time.

[jimkehn]

OK...is Fourmageddon a map or a server???

Sorry if that is a stupid question.

8^)

[lch]

Fourmageddon (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=464497&page) is a map which is used for small, fast games.

[jimkehn]

OK...Folket...got the map. I'll byte if you still wanna do it.

[Folket]

Great, we need one more player then.

[Meglobob]

Is it just for new players or can a old hack join?

If so I have time for a quick, fast game.

I am assuming myself and jimkehn are 1 team vs Folket and your brother. Should be interesting... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Folket]

Great, I will randomize the nations then.

[Folket]

I'm Caelum.
My borther is C'tis.
jimkehn is Marignon.
Meglobob is Ermor.

I will put up the server tomorrow and hopefully we will get started soon.

[Folket]

Seems like my brother is going on an vacation. We will have to find someone else to play with me.

[Folket]

the server is up at least, I hope we can start as soon as someone else joins.

IP: 80.244.74.216
port: 2010

[jimkehn]

Folket, are you going to enforce a 24 hour autorun? If not, I will withdraw my position before we start. I'm not into one turn every three or four days.

[Folket]

We will play one turn every 24 hours. I believe this will be a fast game so I do not plan for this to change.

There will be no quick host, since the computer will be used during the day and we do not want hosting to interfere.

[Starshine_Monarch]

Do we still have that one spot open? If so, do I have to be C'tis? It's perfectly fine if I do, I was just wondering if we could randomize nations again since one guy dropped out.

[jimkehn]

I've already uploaded my pretender as Marignon.

[hako]

If you will need a substitution or someone resign befor it starts, count me in please.
Low/Moderate exp.

[Folket]

Starshine_Monarch, I find it fair that I will randomize your nation again.

The random give you the nation of Abysia.

I think that two days from now everyone should have thier pretender ready.

[Folket]

Hako, if everything works fine I will start a 8 FFA player game in three weeks.

[Starshine_Monarch]

What mods are we going to use, BTW? Would it be alright if we use the Streamers and Standards mod? And would it be safe to assume that teams have not changed?

[Meglobob]

Ermor pretender uploaded.

Looks like the strange combo of Ermor/Marignon are ready to go... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Folket]

We are not playing with mods.

It will be Caelum and Abysia vs Ermor and Marignon. Both teams are somewhat unlikely allies.

[jimkehn]

Yep...Ermor, Marignon...uh....allies???

Abysia and Marignon would be more toward a brothers of the flame sort of flavor!!!!

[Meglobob]

Ok, just waiting on Starshine_Monarch/Abysia to upload a pretender then we can get going.

[Starshine_Monarch]

Unfortunately, my computer does not seem to want to connect to the server. I click the "ok" button to connect and it just sits there, completely still. I mean, I can move my mouse around and all, but it just doesn't do anything. I don't know if it's just loading, or if it's really locking up, but it's hellza annoying.

And fire and ice vs Heaven and Hell...yeah that is pretty weird, but I'm sure it will work out in it's own way.

[Folket]

Have you check your firewall?

Have you been able to connect to other games?

[Folket]

Starshine_monarch, sorry but I want to get this started to see that my hosting works fine. I have messaged Hako if he wants to join.

I hope you find what your problems are and you can play in other games.

[hako]

I got a message to join, hope Starshine isn't too anxious;)
Shall I play Abyssia - fine with that.
I got patch 3.08 installed - is that ok?

Heh, it's my clash with Dom 3 after over 6 months break... I hope won't hurt;)

[Folket]

yes, we play patch 3.08. Once you have your pretender uploaded I will start the game.

[hako]

Abysia & Caleum VS Ermor & Marignon... that won't last long http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Preparing pretender. Folket, as I am playing with you, I sent you smal PM, please check.

[hako]

uploaded pretender.

[Folket]

Game is up.

I see now that I forgot to mention that I was going to have easy research. I hope that is fine with everyone.

[jimkehn]

OH NOW YA TELL ME!!!

8^)

That is fine.

For some reason I didn't get the pretender I wanted. I thought I was getting. I musta screwed up. Oh well. Live life and deal with it.

[jimkehn]

Folket, do you have a status page we can go to, to find out if the turn had run?

[Folket]

Sorry, but it is pretty simple to keep track of turns since we play one turn a day, nothing less, nothing more.

[hako]

I can see everyone finished their turns and there is still 7 hours till next hosting. Won't we go for a quick host?

[Folket]

No one will use the comp for week from tomorrow, so I will put on quick host.

[jimkehn]

Hey guys I appreciate all of you keeping the game moving.

[Folket]

Seems like the hosting is buged. In dominions 2 the closest hosting time was skiped when quickhosting. Since I can't reach the computer there is nothing we can do about it.

We could agre to play two turns a day and let everyone stale when the computer hosts the third time so that someone do not get an unfair advantage.

[hako]

That's right. I was last yesterday, so I made 2 turns in a row. But as I've noticed hosting time didn't reset to 24 hours - it was still set to host at 5 am.
I can do 2 turns a day now, but everyone must agree and confirm it here.
I am not sure if someone else made their turn after me yesterday, but if that was only me, I can stale one turn to cancel this advandage - which graphs do not reflect;)

[jimkehn]

No matter to me....just so we are clear about the schedule so we all stale at the same time.

[Meglobob]

I staled my last turn.

I have just done the current turn. If Abysia does there turn in the next 4 hrs or so I will be able to do another turn. Otherwise I will be at work and will stale again. I am 100% guarenteed to stale the 3rd turn as I will be at work with no internet access.

[hako]

Making my turn now... I hope not too late.

[llamabeast]

Guys, just turn off your 5am hosting and do ordinary 24h quickhost, then you won't have to do any staling.

[Folket]

There is noone with access to the computer before thursday.

[jimkehn]

So, what's the plan???

Are we done for the day? Or can I do another turn??

[hako]

Only me left with turn undone - making it as a last one. Than all stale... lol, strange game:)

[jimkehn]

OK..stale after this turn....


8^(

[Folket]

Let anyone that will not be able to play any more turn before the scheduled hosting post "stale after this turn" here and everyone else will not be allowed to play the next turn.

[Meglobob]

9 hrs left, stale or no stale thats the question?

I will check in later, after I get back from the pub. Its always fun doing your turns when drunk... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[jimkehn]

>>Its always fun doing your turns when drunk

No.
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

[hako]

so, I understand that we stale this one... or can everyoune do another one?
Confuesd... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Folket]

Noone says we are stalling so we play on.

[Folket]

But I'm going to bed now so next turn we will stale.

[hako]

I will be doing my turn in about 3-4 hours. Sorry for such a delay but I'm working whole day today :/
Will you be able to do one more turn after me yet? - About 22:00 London Time.

[Folket]

well, I think I will be off to bed by then.

We will stale next turn then.

[hako]

I can see Marignon played one more turn... its 4 hours before host...

[jimkehn]

>Noone says we are stalling so we play on.

Guess I read this post, so I played on.

8^)

Hey Hako.......you wouldn't have a recipe for toad stew, would ya???

[Folket]

We stale next turn.

[hako]

I'll do my turn about 20:00 London time... how long would that take before we swith to standard quick host?

[Folket]

We will return to hosting once a day tomorrow.

[hako]

Do we play another one before host?

[Folket]

We continue to play turn until someone says we should stale.

[hako]

Well... 5 hours before host no one said we should stale, but also no one made his turn... I don't want to take any advantage:)

EDIT:
4 hours left - still no one moved - we shall stale than.

[Folket]

I got alot to do yesterday so I failed to do a second turn as planed. Tonight the quickhost will be removed and we will not have to worry again.

[lch]

This game sounds... confusing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[hako]

That 'stale turn' thing requires even more strategy planing, because you have to consider your orders will last for 2 turns:) Blood hunt, taxes, mercenaries, cast a spell and next turn your mage will 'rest'... heheh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Folket]

Hello, I'm sick but given how little I have to do in this game I feel that we can continue to play it.

[hako]

is the server running?

[jimkehn]

Uh-oh....I set my nation to AI. I didn't want to really do that, but I did. Wasn't paying attention when I exited out of the program............

But....since I was beat anyway........ Nice job, Hako. You did a good job of defeating Marignon. A good a worthy opponent.

[Folket]

The server is up again.

[Folket]

Seems like the game is over. Well played everyone.

[hako]

I staled my last turn by accident but I can see Ermor withdrew his forces - deadly dragon:) Good job Folket, I have no idea how did you resist Power of Ermor and still hit him back, I thought you were finished - but well done.
I was wondering about a game on a larger map, maybe 8 players 4 vs 4 or sth... could have been interesting.
Thanks for the game.

[Meglobob]

Heh Hako, that horror you conjured up, was the reason I withdrew, it would have killed everything I had.

I would have just been playing a fighting withdrawl on 2 fronts until you finished me off.

[Folket]

It kind of bugs me that I did not get to see the battle in which my wyrm died. With earth power and fire shield I thought he would have good chances. I guess his chest wound got the best of him.

hako, Caelum mages are pretty powerful in battle. Even more so when using storm power. They also work very well unscripted. I scripted them to air shield, storm power, cast spells.

[Meglobob]

I saw the battle and you got it spot on Folket, the +5 enc meant he quickly went over 100 fatigue, the casting of the spells just made it worse.

I was so sure I had you at that point but alias not. Caelum of all ages is a good nation to play.

Those hurricanes/rain of toads on my capital did me in as well. I think unrest was 200+.
