It's time to submit your pretenders!

To join

- Go to Game Tools -&gt; Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- 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 Hieronica in the subject line of your e-mail

Jazzepi

[Executor]

Wow, I always wanted to try Abysia woohoo!!!

[Pelthin]

Agartha -- Didn't she write mystery novels..

Err - I guess that was Agretha Cristy, or some such.

Looks like I am playing SP tonight. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[anticipatient]

Agartha Christy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif hur hur hur.

Jazzepi, are you against making this a CBM game? I don't want to start any kind of delay or debate, just a yes if that's cool with you or a no if it's not http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[llamabeast]

People may enjoy the new "Game settings and admin options" link on the game page, through which you can see the game settings, and mod has a link to where you can download it.

You can see all the same things here, but hey.

No CBM. It would have been announced in the mod section.

Jazzepi

[Cerlin]

Ill try to make one soon to send it...a pretender that is.

[Pelthin]

Sent my Pretender away... Man this is a weird race.

We shall see.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Cerlin]

Sent in. I hope we can start soon

[Jazzepi]

And we're off!

Please message me if you need a delay or somesuch. I'm pretty liberal with them, but excessive staling will not be tolerated.

Jazzepi

[anticipatient]

Yay http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[anticipatient]

I am going to be out of town for about 24 hours this weekend (JUST enough to get a stale). I hope you don't mind giving me a 36 hour extension. I will, of course, return and send my turn ASAP when I am back.

If that's not okay, I'll take the stale. Thanks :_)

[anticipatient]

Thanks. Anyone wantin' easy pickin', go after Ashdod and I in the east http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Dragar]

If you peer into the murky depths of the raging seas you'll see Atlantis and Rlyeh battling it out early for aquatic supremacy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Both Pretenders are out and about, both sides have landed blows, and it is likely to resolve itself one way or another very soon!

[anticipatient]

Mictian and Ashdod are in a battle to the death . . . Mictian has finally begun inflicting casualties, but is it too late? Both the giants and the ADD Aztecs are doomed by their struggle, but who will prevail?

[Janlm]

It looks like the giant squid losts its nerve along with the few tentacles I cut off in our first encounter.

[Dragar]

gah! wish i could log in now to check!!

[Janlm]

Don't worry, nothing interesting happened http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Janlm]

hmm yeah nice new website I guess, it has fewer threads per page though which is annoying..

So anyway... I have to ask, wht the hell is going on with C'tis, and why do we keep waiting for him?? its starting to annoy me quite a bit..

[Dragar]

Is he submitting his turns, or staling? As long as he is submitting within the time set I don't see a problem with it.

[Janlm]

Well he is postponing the turn timer with one day every day, instead of doing his turn.

[Jazzepi]

Sorry about that, normally I wouldn't have bothered but I really wanted to do some diplomacy and I thought the forums would have come up sooner.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled hosting cycle!

Jazzepi

[Executor]

Must have missed the message homer I guess it was a in-game message, I never seem to notice them, I'll try to get my turns in on time but I'm already starting to stale some more important games where I can win, and this game seems least important to me, If I stale too much I'll turn to AI so that caelum doesn't win without a fight.

[Executor]

I'm switching to AI, I can't make the turns.

[anticipatient]

I played my last turn but somehow failed to send it in . . . is it possible we could rollback the game 1 turn so I could send it in? Ashdod just went AI after we had a long war from the beginning of the game, and when the turn staled for me, I lost some pretty important commanders (for no good reason). I know it would kind of suck for everyone, so if we can't do it, I understand, but I thought I'd ask.

I already have the .2h file I'd need to send in . . .

[Jazzepi]

Unfortunately I'm loathe to ever do rollbacks because of the issues they cause with troop movement during battles. I know it sucks to miss your turn, but there's a reminder to send it in, and a confirmation message to let you know that it's been received.

Jazzepi

[Dragar]

The battle for the sea wages on.. down to its last two provinces, the kraken pretender recently destroyed, The Void Lord pretender of Rlyeh took his army in to the Atlantis capital for the kill!

However, a strong committment to training coral queens paid off, with the Kraken making a welcome return at home with 598 hitpoints, surviving all of the mind attacks with his iron will and crushing the invading force, inclduing the Rlyeh Pretender!!

Can Atlantis regain its lands quickly enough to bring the battle back onto an even keel? Does rlyeh have the priests to bring its Void Lord back to meet his rival?

Tune in next time..

[anticipatient]

Bummer. Okay.

[Janlm]

i certainly wouldn't mind making a few changes on troop movements, or a rehost of the combat result, but that ofcourse wouldn't be fair to atlantis :)

[Janlm]

Atlantis, I think it is time that you admit to defeat and surrender your last two provinces to me. You have our word that we will treat your people generously and perhaps allow a few of them a will of their own.

[Dragar]

Never!!!

[Janlm]

So the big squid comitted suicide instead of submitting to the rlyeah troops? I don't understand what happened.

[Dragar]

he was horror marked, big nasty arrived and made calamari :(

[Janlm]

oh that was a shame.. :)

[anticipatient]

Fear the big nasty, eh! :)

[Janlm]

Hey Atlantis, if you have given up could you please set yourself to ai instead of staling?

[Dragar]

Sorry that stale wasn't intentional played the next turn. AI is a good idea though

[Janlm]

Now Ashdod follow the trail of dead gods, and it seems that Agartha is on their way as well. With these graphs off it can be dificult to know what is going on around you. Is there noone that wants to share their stories of triumph, or failure, so that the rest of the world may know what is going on?

I'll share whatever news I have from deep beneath the ocean surface.
I'm sure its a well known fact that, after a tough and costly war, Rlyeh has banished the god of Atlantis from this world and completely enslaved his people, with no exceptions.

[anticipatient]

Sh-t. I broke 4/5 of my LCD computer screen. :o/ Smashed. White, black and pink. No good. I can't run dom3 on any other computer at the moment, so the 10 or 11 games I'm in need subs :( I'm really sorry. Hopefully it'll be temporary (anyone know if it's possible to replace monitors on laptops?)

Okay, I go to post on the next game =(

[Jazzepi]

It is possible, but if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, I would get a professional.

I'm putting in a 48 hour extension for anticipatient to find a sub.

Jazzepi

[Janlm]

That sounds like you had a bad turn :)

[anticipatient]

Ok, so I've figured out a way to limp by until I get a replacement monitor working, and I can continue playing. Sorry about the fuss :)

[Janlm]

Next turn due: 03:43 GMT on Friday September 19th

What did i miss?

[Jazzepi]

Sorry, I'm the admin and I'm having power issues because of the hurricane. I've downloaded my turn, and I'll try to get it in tonight, but no promises. I think 300,000 people in Columbus losing power is a good excuse for an extended delay.

Jazzepi

[Janlm]

ok thats cool, i was just wondering what it was about since we haven't heard anything.

[Janlm]

Is it possible to set mictlan on ai?

[Evilhomer]

Everytime miclan stalls god kills a kitten (put him to AI now!)

[Jazzepi]

Everytime miclan stalls god kills a kitten (put him to AI now!)

I'm sorry D: Let me find someone. I've been kind of negligent in my duties for this game.

Jazzepi

[Evilhomer]

It seems we are waiting for miclan again.....

[Jazzepi]

I'm out. I have absolutely nothing going on for me.

Good game evilhomer.

Very frustrating when your ally overcast BoT which you obviously dispelled.

Jazzepi

[Janlm]

heh thats great... bye then..

[Evilhomer]

So, does this mean I won, or are Rlyeh and ermor still in fighting mood ?

[Janlm]

still in a fighting mood? heh we haven't actually been fighting yet.. But I don't know, jazzepi suddently getting pissed and leaving ****s everything up really.

[Jazzepi]

still in a fighting mood? heh we haven't actually been fighting yet.. But I don't know, jazzepi suddently getting pissed and leaving ****s everything up really.

One of the few aces we had was that global. I'm not pissed, but I just had my main army easily disassembled by Caelum.

Jazzepi

[Janlm]

alright, well i don't really think there is any point in wasting time on this game if jazzepi leaves. Lets just declare caelum the winner, i'm pretty sure i can't beat him at least.

[Evilhomer]

Oki, thanks for the game then guys. Also I have to clarify that Rlyeh never overcast the second burden of time. I dispelled it and then Rlyeh (on the following turn) put up the maelstorm in the empty global slot.

[Janlm]

aha!!!!

well yeah, thanks for the game :)
