[Cor2]

I will take pangea, please

[Jazzepi]

I'd be interested in playing on just about any map but Aran.

Jazzepi

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I'd be interested in taking suggestions. Specific suggestions.

[Jazzepi]

Use the random map generator a couple of times till you find one that's nice. Bring it up in the map editor to clean up the links between territories.

I'd be happy to mess around making a map that way. Just tell me how many provinces per person you want. Also, what your maximum amount of water nations is.

Jazzepi

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

As currently implemented, I loathe random maps. But since I won't be playing in the game myself, I'd go with a random map if general consensus was in its favor.

I appreciate the offer of you messing around with the map, and would happily take you up on the offer. While I haven't found the time, I'm interested in altering random maps, myself.

Just convince the other members to take up a random map, and then the two of us will hammer out the remaining details.

[Cor2]

Any map is fine with me, but i would prefer a non-random wrap-around map, like Cradle or whatever.

[Reverend Zombie]

Caelum here, please.

[dmentd]

How about Cradle? I know it is often used, but it is a good map.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Hmm... Cradle sounds a little large to me, for eight players, but I haven't been in too many games, so I'm not really basing that on anything in particular.

If no-one objects to 25-28 provinces per player, I'll go ahead with Cradle, though I don't know about it being wraparound. It'll be especially large if a player doesn't show up for the start.

That little warning aside, I have no problem letting Cradle be the map. I will make other suggestions just because I can.

The Desert Eye (Wraparound) was fun in Veturi.
A Poke in the Eye V3 (user created) is based on The Desert Eye with some insane independents. Probably not a wise idea.
A Pangaean Earth is (user created) is the right size, but the lack of chokepoints probably doesn't make for a good first map.
Parganos is a bit unbalanced, thanks to fairly uniform swathes of territory, but a map I like quite a bit, perhaps for that very same reason.

Anyways, the new default map, barring any objections, is Cradle. I'm curious, Jazzepi. What's your objection to Aran? Something particular to you, or something I should keep in mind while organizing future games?

[EarthRaver]

erm... lets try to keep this game small and fast.

[Cor2]

I like desert eye. i just played Pangaean Parth and dont really like it as MP. Its not wraparound, the water nations have an advantage and the connections between provinces don't make alot of sence to me. Its not a bad map, don't get me wrong, i just think its SP material.

[Jazzepi]

Uh, this game is listed as closed does that include a spot for myself? c.c

I dislike Aran mostly because a lot of the starting positions are terrible and there are not enough water provinces to support more than one water nation. If you put two in there, they're immediately at war.

There's a starting position on the western peninsula that only has two bordering territories.

Jazzepi

[llamabeast]

I would be disinclined to go with Cradle, I'd say it was a bit big for 8 players.

One objection I've heard to Aran is that it's a bit wasteland-y. I've not really looked at it myself though.

Another alternative is my modified version of Parganos (where I have tried to even the terrain up and make it much less unbalanced). I can modify it a bit more as per suggestions you made before LP.

I'm still intrigued why you loathe random maps LP? I agree they're not as interesting chokepoint-wise, but they're not that bad. And it's easy to add real mountain provinces if you want.

Agreed,about abit too big for 8 players part.

[Reverend Zombie]

How about the fixed Karan map?

[Ramz]

Id like to play as jotunheim, and I agree that cradle is too large for only 8.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Haven't seen that one, Reverend Zombie. I'll look later today, but could you link?

[Reverend Zombie]

Lazy_Perfectionist said:

Karan was a Dom 2 map that I thought had been converted & fixed for Dom 3 to ensure fair starts, etc., but I can't find anything that supports my recollection--I might be confused with the work Edi did for Cradle.

At any rate, you can find the Dom 2 version on Illwinter's map page (http://www.illwinter.com/dom2/maps.html) and I'll continue hunting the forums to see if anyone fixed it for Dom 3.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I'll try to make a decision on the map by Friday, or if possible, this evening, so we can get this going this weekend.

The game is not yet set up, we need to decide on a map, but when thats together...


Instructions for uploading pretenders:
[...]
Here's how [...]:
[-LP says don't forgot to turn off any mods your are using.]
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name, ['Bragi'], in the subject line of your e-mail



Then, create an empty folder in savedgames by the name of Bragi. When you receive your first turn file, you will download it into this folder. E.G. "mid_agartha.trn".

When you finish your turn, you'll send your order file (in the same folder) to turns(at)llamatserver(dot)net. For instance, "mid_agartha.2h". You should receive confirmation within five minutes.

You can also check the status of the game at www.llamaserver.net (http://www.llamaserver.net) at any time, to see whether its created, taking pretenders, started, or waiting on a particular player, etc. etc. etc.

Whomever is hosting this, please answer my question.

Jazzepi

[llamabeast]

I don't know sorry Jazzepi.

However, I do know the game is now created, so you can send your pretenders in.

[Halaster]

Hi.

I'd prefer something compact, but since I'm not familiar with either map, I won't push you in any direction.

I'd play Man, if possible.

CU,
Halaster

[Cor2]

Jazzepi said:

Jazzepi



I dont know either, Lazy perfectionist is the one to contact. But i count 8 people on the list IF LP is playing, If not then just 7. I woul dbe fine with upping it to nine players (or more), esp on a big map.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

You are included, Jazzepi.
I will not play in the Valhalla series of games unless a sub is needed or have some particular reason.

However, I wasn't going to add you officially to the list until I'd figured out whether there's an acceptable map. If consensus stuck us with Aran, then you would be out of this one game.

Actually... I just forgot. I added you to the count, but forgot to sneak your name in.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

How about Parganos? Do you still have your tweaked version of that map, llamabeast? Just include a few more mountain provinces and I see no points against it.

If you do have it, I'd like to go with that. I see no reason for anyone to object to that.

On a related note, I am really curious about Karan- but don't have the energy to be curious, just to keep on top of my given tasks. Some other time, perhaps, after a less awkward week.

[Cor2]

Parganos is a good map, IMHO.

[llamabeast]

Yeah, I think fixed Parganos is a good idea. I'll dig it up and add a few more mountains.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Okay people, if you haven't already, decide on a faction:

Sent In:
Pangaea
Man
Caelum
R'lyeh
Arcoscephale

Claimed:
Eriu

[Jazzepi]

I think I'll play Pythium.

Jazzepi

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Earth Raver had to drop out, unfortunately, but I've had good 7 player games on maps of this size.

We can go ahead without a replacement, but if someone wants to jump, and can design a pretender by Sunday/Monday, we've got a slot open.

Llamabeast, do you know if EarthRaver submitted a pretender, and if so, for what faction?

[parcelt]

Is that spot still open? I'd like to play. If possible as Machaka. I can get a pretender in later today.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Yah, we've got a spot open. I believe Machaka is unclaimed.

Earth Raver was asking for eriu, and hasn't submitted a pretender yet, so there's no hassle in fitting you in.

It looks like everybody's selected a faction, so we're getting close.
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Bragi

[parcelt]

Cool. My pretender is in.

[Cor2]

Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

We're only missing one player, Jazzepi, as Pythium. I've seen him make the deadline before, so I'm inclined to wait until he gets in.

Thats said, hurry up, Jazzepi, or stop feeding the kids (cor2) sugar! Don't you know how long this car ride is going to be?

[Jazzepi]

Sorry, I had to tech support my own computer yesterday. I've been working with them for a long time, and in the past year I installed a RAID 1 array. Well recently I got some weird symptoms on my computer where it wouldn't boot. Turns out one of the drives in the RAID array died but the array still thought it was healthy.

Weird.

I'm back online though. Just had to pull one of the drives out of the array.

Jazzepi

[Jazzepi]

Someone said they were fixing this map right? I just booted up a practice game to get one last look at the standard production units and my starting province is SURROUNDED BY WATER! It's on that tiny little island in the lower left hand corner of the map.

Geeze http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Jazzepi

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

A practice game? You mean one in the original game?
There's Edi's fixed version, which adds some nostarts.
http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=501807
Then there's llama's version, which I assume is based off of Edi's, but makes swathes of terrain less homogeneous. I must admit, I enjoyed Edi's version of Paraganos quie a lot, but am interested in hearing what people think of Lllama's version.

[Jazzepi]

Whenever I'm making pretenders I always look at what units the race can recruit at home and in a citadel then I try to build a pretender. My goal is to completely oblierate the AI. Then I know I'm doing it right.

Jazzepi

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Llamabeast, it seems like everyone's submitted their pretenders, when will you be ready to start the game? If you don't have the time to tweak Parganos, Edi's version will do.

[llamabeast]

Yeah, sorry for the slow start, I've been away from my computer most of the weekend. Will sort it out now...

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

No problem. I just wanted to make the situation clear, since I've been a bit sloppy with things like listing Jazzepi earlier.

[llamabeast]

I think it would be useful if you put a list of players and nations in the first post LP.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I've got both of those... but not everyone told me who they picked, so they're in two separate lists.

[llamabeast]

Oh okay, fair enough. Maybe for future games demand they tell you. As both a player and an organiser I find such lists useful (e.g. for PMing diplomacy, or to find out why a nation's been staling).

Anyway, starting... I modified parganos again. I'm interested to hear what people think of it.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

First turns due by 21:25 GMT Tuesday.
In my area, thats 7:25 PM.

You'll have 48 hours to get your first turn in. After that, every turn will be on 30 hour quickhost. I'll be checking in on the thread occasionally - frequently at first, but don't be afraid to cast "Summon LP, the Lord of Sloth and Order" or send a PM if I'm needed.

I'll be watching the game start, in case there are any issues. If you need the game hosting froze for a while, or such, let me know.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Oh... I need to edit my perception stat. I blame Mist.

Everybody (or near enough) did mention their race. Updating first post.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Game freeze requested. RZ may be able to get in one, two more turns. Will kick in tomorrow.

Llamabeast, if you're still around, is there a way to remove the timer, but leave quickhost on, or do I just settle for delaying it?

[llamabeast]

When designing the server I decided to make it impossible to turn the timer off on games so that, if I'm not watching it in the future, games don't sit on it forever. No I'm not so sure that's really useful though (and I think I will notice if a game is dead for a long time anyway) - still, for the moment you can't turn the timer off. But you can change the hosting interval to a fortnight or something, which will come to the same thing (I had originally intended to limit the hosting interval to 1 week you see).

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Merci beaucoup.
Gracias
Thanks.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Resuming... 30 hour turns reinstated as soon as everybody has their turn in.

If the system takes negative values, the deadline will be somewhere around Monday. If not, it'll be Wednesday.

Well... my guinea pigs... I'll continue to learn the administration pages.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Caduceus, I'd like to hear from you, please.

You've stalled two out of three turns, and haven't yet gotten your turn in with this long freeze on the game.

As we're waiting on one player, not the one who requested the freeze, I've forced the next turn to arrive now...

[Caduceus]

Uhh... I never joined this game? I don't think I sent you a pretender, either. Maybe I have had a stroke...

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Uhmm.. if you haven't been recieving the turn emails, than that means I made a mistake, and someone else is involved in R'lyeh. Sorry. My apologies to you, Caduceus.

Any idea who is playing R'lyeh? I suppose I can switch to AI without knowing that... but that isn't ideal

[Caduceus]

I'll take over if you want, but haven't played Ryleh before http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Only if you want, Caduceus, only if you want.

It was my mistake, not yours.

[Caduceus]

Check your PM Lazy_Perfectionist.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Okay, I've changed the email address and resent the turn. Feel free to play as long as you want or set to AI if you need.

Thank you, and welcome to the game, Caduceus. Good to have you, sorry for the mixup.

If you need some ideas for R'lyeh, check out the 'Strategy Index'

[Cor2]

hurray for the brave Caduceus who was voluntold to play Ryleh.

This could be a great new tactic for filling up MP games, "I draft you you and you!"

[Caduceus]

LP had my kids hostage. He told me so.

If you don't play Ry'leh, your toddler will be fed to the illithids!

[Cor2]

Caduceus said:

LOL

At least its quick and mostly painless...

[Caduceus]

Any chance of a slow-down of Bragi over labor day weekend?

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I can slow it down to 50 hours. I can postpone it for 72 hours, or I can set the turn cycles to 72 hours.

Checking in on all mah games here. If I don't hear any particular feedback, I'll set to a 50 hour cycle, till monday/tuesday.

[Cor2]

I am fine with whatever.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

50 Hour cycle until I'm reminded to change it back.

[Caduceus]

Thanks! I missent a turn yesterday and will get to resend it at lunchtime today - EST, before going out of town for the long weekend.

[Cor2]

So how is eveyone? Game wise that is. I mean if you want to tell me about your life thats cool. Any nasty wars going on? Tell me all your plans http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Jazzepi]

Wow, I just got stomped. I find the hardest armies for me to master are those with more traditional military units like Pythium.

I was really frustrated to find that for some reason the mages that I prepped to defend my capital by casting the spell that makes a single unit ethereal did not go with the defending forces. Instead they just stayed inside of the castle. They might have won me that fight on their own. Without any way to produce hydras, I'm setting myself to AI.

I suggest you all dogpile Pangea. He's just taken over quite a few territories from me, but over extended himself to do it.

Please take me off the e-mail list for turns.

Jazzepi

[Cor2]

Sorry Jazzepi. I needed somewhere to expand and you where the last to offer me a NAP.

I must dissagree, I am not overextended http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif.

[Jazzepi]

You didn't need somewhere to extend. I sent a scout over and there were plenty of neutrals ;P

Jazzepi

[Cor2]

That is true as well. I had to hit someone fast before they got research to stop me. and Pythium becomes a holy terror late game.

[dmentd]

This has been a viscous game already. From what it sounds, Pythium is out and Machaka lost his capital. Blitz strategies seem effective so far.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Shall I leave this at fifty hours, or turn it down to 30?

[Ramz]

I say we go back to 30

[Caduceus]

I'm back, so whatever the majority says.

[Cor2]

Me too. Its too slow for me. I keep forgetting what happened last turn.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Okay... three out of six. This turn will complete at the preordained time of 2:45 Saturday, or when everybody gets their turn in. Please make it the latter. The remaining turns will host on the 30 hour schedule.

[dmentd]

I have submitted my turn three times, but the server still says that it has not received it. What should I do?

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Wait a bit... coffee hasn't seeped into my brain. If need be, I will postpone hosting.

Uhmm... I'll look into things a bit. When did you try, and did you receive any error message or email? Try again in two hours, and let me know.

Edit: I did the postpone, but the status page isn't updating to match. I'll keep an eye on things and post when something changes.

Edit: The first postpone didn't go through (too impatient), but a bit later, the second eight hour postpone went through. Try sending in the turn once more. 2h file, Bragi, turns(at)llamaserver(dot)net. Let me know the results of that. I'll postpone again as long as this problem is unresolved.

[llamabeast]

Just had a quick look at this. It seems there are two problems:

1) It thinks your 2h file is corrupted (never seen that before).
2) It's not managing to pick up your e-mail address for some reason (this is something I need to look into), so the error messages it's trying to send to you aren't getting to you.

I'd suggest first going back into Dominions, taking the turn ('Continue where I left' so you don't actually have to do it again), then hitting 'End turn' again, and trying to send the file again. Alternatively try using a different e-mail account and see if that helps.

[dmentd]

I continued then ended as suggested. I also sent the e-mail from another account. I will give the server a few minutes and then check to see if it worked.

If I have to do so, I can try to redo the turn from another computer. That will be my next try.

[dmentd]

It did not work. I also did not get an e-mail. I will try the other computer.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Another account? Are you using an app like outlook/thunderbird/eudora or are you using the webinterface?

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

You could also try attaching the 2h file, and sending it to [scrubbed out to avoid spam bots]

I'll see if I can read it and send it in for you. I'd seen something similar to this once, and it may help. In that case, it was a once off.

I'll also look through my posts and see just what I did and what happened and blah de blah de blah.

[llamabeast]

E-mailing it to LP and getting him to forward it would indeed be a good idea.

Sorry I can't be more helpful on this, I can't really tell what's going on.

[llamabeast]

Oh, LP, you might want to PM your address to dmentd and then scrub it from here - otherwise your address might get cheerfully eaten by spambots.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Well, no matter. Yahoo was a one shot... I'll scrub it anyways, but I'm not really using it much. I think I'll end up making gmail my Dominions account in the far future.

[llamabeast]

gmail is lovely. I have every single e-mail sent to the llamaserver backed up on gmail - isn't it amazing that they give you all that space for free?

[dmentd]

Hurray! A new file from the other computer appears to have worked. Sorry about the problems.

[llamabeast]

No worries, sorry it didn't work. Not sure what was going on with the corrupted file, but I will have to look into the business with it not grabbing your e-mail address correctly.

[Cor2]

This is the sound of grass growing.
this is the sound of noone talking om this thread.

So how is everyone doing?

Arco. I have not heard back from you. Did you get our reply? Please don't mind the scouts you have foun, they come in peices, err peace.

Greetings giant people to the east! Hope we can be friends. Seems your doing quite well for your selfs.

Hello Man. Why did you attack us? Did you think us weak? Have we dispelled that notion yet?

[Cor2]

Hello Caelum. how have you been? have not heard from you in a while. Would you like a gift? Interested in trading gems?

What the hell is happening with Ryleh? Seems to be just setting there. thats cool. I mean that is what I like players to do.

[Reverend Zombie]

Cor2 said:

Hello. We hope you are faring well.

Things are peaceful in Caelum. The mammoths grow strong, the seraphs fly high, and the people grow strong in body and mind under the watchful eye of Sophia, supreme deity of this world and the next.

We welcome private discussion regarding trade.

[dmentd]

We had a problem at the plant and I just finished a nearly 20 hour shift. Would you please delay this game for a day. Otherwise I might stale.

Oh, and Caelum, I somehow missed your message. New job is getting to me some, and I am tired, so I will search for it tomorrow,

[dmentd]

Couldn't sleep. Turns in.

[Reverend Zombie]

Would anyone besides me like to see this game moved to a 48-hr. host cycle?

[dmentd]

I would welcome a change to 48 hour timing.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Until and if someone says otherwise...
50 hr.

[dmentd]

Thank you. You may have helped save my marriage, and many young single women who would otherwise be subjected to me. My turns may get better too...

TMI, I know.

;-)

[Caduceus]

Heh, from R'lyeh - Still wrapping my head around the nation, with a somewhat late start.

I will be out of town over the weekend for a conference without computer access, I will leave Friday morning, early and return Sunday afternoon, so will likely stale one turn unless someone knows someone who wants to take over for a single turn.

[Cor2]

The nation of Pangaea...errr... I mean I will gladly take over for Rlyeh. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I suppose I could postpone on friday.. but as you're clearly not asking for a delay, I'll do nothing.

[Cor2]

Ouch. that hurt.

[Caduceus]

Well, I will be out of town without Dominions access - First weekend sans kids for us in over a year. I don't mind staling a few turns, honestly.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Well... its no problem to postpone- but only if you ask.
Besides you can probably count on people not to take advantage if you announced your absence. Just consider it income time.

[dmentd]

Was that aimed at me? I got lucky this time. Next time, you will be better prepared for that assault. Of course, I am currently trying to figure out my next grand scheme...

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I don't know if my comments are aimed at anyone. I'm fair game- all my missed turns have been due to stupidity. Like five simultaneous games stupidity.

Now if I'd been on vacation or something? That's a hypothetical I won't bother with right now. Especially the vacation- I wish that was possible, not hypothetical.

So, peeps, since I haven't been in on this game, do you have any feedback to offer? Things you wished I setup differently? Graphs on? Graphs off? Winged monkeys doing the disco? Hallucinogens or random rambling?

[dmentd]

Actually, my question was aimed at Cor2, which is why I changed the title. We had a fight, and I wanted to gloat while possible because eventually the shoe will beon the other foot and I will have to receive.

I think the game has been admin'ed well. When I had a technical problem, you responded. Other than the Ry'leh startup issue, it went well.

I admit I prefer to up the magic sites by 1 or 2 ticks to find more stuff. Everyone seems to leave it at default. Otherwise, I like it.

[dmentd]

Does anyone know directions to Pangea's house? Cor2 insists that his capital is in between the couch cushions and I just cannot seem to find it.

You know, it would be far more courteous to put your road signs in common instead of the Pangean script...

[Cor2]

LP. Your a great admin. the best I have ever experinced, not that I have played alot of mp.

And certainly a hell of alot better than I was, but I did have the awesome Lama server.

[Cor2]

It begins. Unleash the minatours of war.

oh yeah!

Q:What do you get if you set a minatour on fire?

A:A bad smell and an axe to the face. Ha ha ha.

(Okay so its not funny, sue me)

[dmentd]

You see, you have no problems defeating my attack forces. Of course, I do have some ideas of my own to counter. Those minos do have a lot of HP though...

At least I killed more than 3.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Caduceus]

Back in town.

Turns done, thanks for holding off.

Played miniature golf at Mt. Atlanticus: Minotaur Goff yesterday. Thought of you all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Cor2]

yea! Minotaurs rock balls!

[Cor2]

Et tu Jotunheim?

[dmentd]

Could we please delay the hosting of this game for 24 hours? Else I will likely stale again. Thanks.

[Caduceus]

Not to add to the cacophany of displeasure, but I will be out of town (again) this weekend for my marathon. Out on Friday, returning Monday. I have yet to find a replacement for these turn(s).

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Forgot to mention- postponed until monday, 7:35 GMT. I'll probably be postponing a bit more, as 3 in the morning might be earlier than expected...

[dmentd]

Lets not play act this one. Caelum told you that Jotunheim was coming which is why he happily stabbed me in the back. I also did not stale this turn so I should fight a little better than a fish out of water. Hopefully I have a little good luck to make up for last turn.

Sorry, did not mean to upset you. How did i stab you in the back ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Oh , sorry I misread. Caelum stabbed you in the back not me, got it.

Caelum certainly did tell me, which is why I was able to get bands of revelers behind jotunheims front lines, not that they are anything more than an annoyance. But at least they are one hell of an annoyance.

[dmentd]

Could we please delay this game for 24 hours? I will not be able to get to the turn until very late in the day today. Thanks.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Done and done.

[dmentd]

I keep sending in my turn and the server is not accepting it. I sent it 6.5 hours ago and I sent it 5 minutes ago. Please help.

[dmentd]

I will not have time to work on this in the morning. Please delay the game so I can work on it tonight.

[llamabeast]

dmentd - you sent in the 2h file for last turn (46) rather than the current one (47). The server should have sent you an e-mail to that effect - did it not?

I'll postpone hosting by 12 hours.

[dmentd]

That was my error, and I apologize for burdening you with it. So you know, I did not get a message from the server explaining the problem, and I do not have any messages in my screened mail box.

BTW, since you are looking, I wanted to tell you that I am impressed with this server. The automated bot controlling these games runs very well. Thank you.

[dmentd]

Would you please delay this game for 4 hours? When I get home from work I will be able to get to the turn. Thanks.

[dmentd]

I think llamaserver is having a problem. I sent in my turn but it has not received it. It is also not updating. I was hoping to not stale the game.

[Sensori]

Keep checking on Mongoose to see if it runs or not...

I REALLY HOPE IT DOESN'T CUZ IT DIDN'T GET MY TURRRNNNN ARRGH

EDIT: So far so good, it passed the timer and still isn't refreshing... I'm hoping that it either

a) doesn't refresh at all until Llama checks his stuff,

b) when it starts refreshing, it realizes that the turns were sent BEFORE the system went haywire.

Since choice c would make me rather aggravated.

[Cor2]

I just put out an add for a sub. School is being more time consuming than i had hoped. If there is no takers i will play it out.

[Ramz]

Well definitely stunk with that stale last turn...

[Cor2]

Baalz is going to sub for me. I will email him all the diplomacy info and relevant game history.

LP could you see that he gets the turns now? Thankyou.

[Baalz]

Use bragi.20.dre at neverbox dot com for my turns please.

[Cor2]

Baalz, I hope the summary was sufficient. Any questions and I will be around, just pm me.

Thanks eveyone for the great game! I wish i had more time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Reverend Zombie]

I staled, but swear I sent in my turn on time. Anyone else experience weirdness?

[Cor2]

I just got the new turn, I guess it has not been shifted to BAALZ yet. I did not stale but it looks like Jotunheim did.

[Baalz]

Forward it to me if you would at the address above and I'll handle it.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Sorry about missing it. Got the pm, and made the change.

[Cor2]

No problem LP. Your a great admin, thanks for doing it.

Baalz, i just forwarded it to you, don't know if it was redundant or not (if the server will auto send one).

[Cor2]

No talk? How is by beloved Pangaea doing?

[Baalz]

Skinning some giants. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Cor2]

Good to hear!
Hope your not too dissapointed with what i left you.

[Caduceus]

Internet woes at home - DSL or phone line is not working. You can host turn 67 if you want, but I will load my save on a zip drive and send it from work tomorrow morning if you can wait that long.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Postponed. Out of curiosity, do you have AT&T?

[Caduceus]

We do. But it turns out a truck hit the phone pole at the end of the block. Telephone was restored last night, but we got the wrong phone number. DSL still non-functional. Host without me while I sort this out. Of course, this was the day that satellite TV was supposed to be hooked up... Argh.

[Caduceus]

Can I get a re-send of the latest turn?

I'm trying to send mine and llama is hiccuping.

[Baalz]

You can request a resend from llamaserver.net

[Caduceus]

Sorry, I got confused. Turn will hopefully be done tonight by 9 EST, though there are a few other nations left as well.

[Reverend Zombie]

I am disgusted with my inability to keep my pretender or air queen alive.

Moreover, Caelum is quite overrun by the Pangeans.

I'm willing to concede to them at this point.

[Baalz]

To be honest, I'm in control of 90% of the map - Caelum is the next biggest power. Anyone object to calling this one done?

[Cor2]

Awesome! All hail Pangaea!

[Baalz]

Going once....going twice....

[Baalz]

sold! Game over. Good game everybody. Who's the admin for this game?

[Reverend Zombie]

Lazy Perfectionist.

[Cor2]

Dont forget to post on the hall of fame winners list.

[llamabeast]

Oh, I was just looking here to tell you I'm postponing the game for christmas, but I see you've finished! Hope you all enjoyed the game. I'll close it now.

LP seems to have gone AWOL for a bit. Maybe his internet's broken or something.

[Caduceus]

Ah well, Pan had me right where he wanted me. Sorry I wasn't very good at R'lyeh.

[Cor2]

Caduceus, not your fault. You subbed after losing the crucial first 10ish turns. impossible to recover from.
