[Juffos]

I would like to join as Niefelheim.

[Ossa]

I'd join as Helheim

[Shikome]

I'll take Sauromatia please

[Iron Duke]

Hi, if there's no hard feelings( I'm atlantis in Kickabout :) ) I'd like to participate... as tir n'an og, that just sounds cool :D

[coreyh2]

Its just a game to me. I only regret not winning. Good luck with the rest of that game. :)

[Quitti]

I'd like to take Mictlan

[Ruminant]

It's about time I tested out the multiplayer waters.. So if noone's taken Agartha then consider the position filled! :cool:

[numskully]

I would like to join as Yomi. This is my first multiplayer game so I'm a newbie.

[Traks]

Okay, this is my first post and first game here.
I will try as Gath, if that is allowed.

[coreyh2]

This is going to be a EA game and Gath is a LA nation. Hinnom is their EA nation. Do you want that? I'm not sure how similar it is. I haven't played either.

[Traks]

Sure, I am not at home PC now so I may mix them up.
I'll take Hinnom as it is ok balanced. Only MA Gath is too powerful for my liking.

[Vanslime]

I've been wanting to give MP a go for a while...

I'll play Abysia.

[coreyh2]

I've created the game. Time to upload pretenders.

[numskully]

I uploaded mine. How do we deal with diplomacy?

[coreyh2]

Free diplomacy. In game and out of game. Make and break treaties as you see fit. In the other games I've played it was mostly just short term peace treaties done in game. Player also trade items and gems.

[mscfish]

arco thx

[coreyh2]

The game is full already mscfish. Sorry.

[mscfish]

The game is full already mscfish. Sorry.

ok

never mind~~~~

:)

[Ruminant]

Ladies, Gentlemen and those of indiscriminate gender; start your engines because the great game is afoot. Good luck! :up:

[coreyh2]

I had to resend my turn because I didn't get it. Anyone else have that happen?

[Ruminant]

Ya mean you submitted your turn but never received a reply from llama server? Odd, worked fine for me. Sent it off and in under five minutes got a reply.

Edit: Also, because I'm curious.. if everybody takes their turns before the deadline do we start the next turn early? Or are the 24 hour time limits absolute?

[Ruminant]

Editier: Actually Coreyh2, I just retook my turn and got no reply for ten minutes. Resent it again then got a reply for that email 30 seconds later. Then a minute later got a reply for my original email. So it seems to be working, but as the email says make sure ya don't end send different versions of turns within 10+ mins of each other ;)

[coreyh2]

I didn't get my first trn file until I told the llamaserver to resend.

It automatically hosts when all the 2h files are received. The 24 hours is from the time the last turn was hosted. If all the 2h files aren't received in 24 hours no actions get taken by the late players.

[numskully]

I didn't get my turn file also. Trying to get a turn resend.

Does it send the turn file to the email you sent the pretender to?

Good luck all!

[numskully]

I got my turn file.

When you send a turn in, should I include "TheGreatNooby" in the title?

[Ruminant]

Nah, I don't think it matters.

[numskully]

Ah, thanks for the info Ruminant.

Another question, how long after all the 2h files get sent that an email with the new turn file get sent to you? For me it takes 3-6 hours.

[Vanslime]

We should get the new turn the moment everyone has sent in orders.

[numskully]

I have 36 air gems for sale. If anyone wants to buy them, post here, send a PM, or message me ingame.

[Vanslime]

In light of recent developments, I have two things to say:

1:Sauromatia staled two turns in a row, what should we do about that?

2:BURDEN OF TIME ONOES

[Quitti]

Mictlan disapproves Burden of Time. Our priests do not like to live two weeks instead of twenty years.

[numskully]

If you send me some astral gems, I should be able to dispel it.

[Iron Duke]

If you send me some astral gems, I should be able to dispel it.

lol :)

on a side note, someone please dispel this evil upon the world.

[Ruminant]

-Can- anyone dispel it? I'll gladly contribute gems towards it. Anything to stop the Hall of the Oracles from turning into an upscale retirement village. Giant-sized wheelchairs don't come cheap :sick:

[numskully]

Sauromatia still is not taking their turns. Can coreyh2 do anything about this?

[coreyh2]

I sent him a message.

How is his position in the game? Would it be better to set him as AI or try to find a replacement?

[Vanslime]

I'm,well,kind of destroying him.

Well,I was.

Between Burden of Time and FAIRIES,that may change.

[coreyh2]

His page says he hasn't been on the boards since 12/1. Even though it might slow the game down I'm going to wait a couple more days before I do anything.

It'll give you an advantage Vanslime but I don't want to replace him before he responds.

[coreyh2]

I set Sauromatia to AI.

[numskully]

"Note that the following pairs of nations took their turn using the same copy of Dominions last turn: Ulm, Sauromatia"

This message was on llamaserver.net, what does it mean?

[coreyh2]

That was me setting Sauromatia to AI. I send his turn to me, turned it to AI, and send it back. The message is a warning for someone cheating by playing multiple nations at once.

[Iron Duke]

Thanks to the heartless deans of my university, I'm gonna have 7 finals in 8 days, so I'm retiring from all my games, setting myself to AI. I'm really sorry people :(

I was going good in that one too...

[coreyh2]

Later Iron Duke. Good luck.

[numskully]

Thanks to the heartless deans of my university, I'm gonna have 7 finals in 8 days, so I'm retiring from all my games, setting myself to AI. I'm really sorry people :(

I was going good in that one too...

I would hope that school comes first. Goodluck with your finals!

[numskully]

Well, I switched to AI. Getting pounded very badly. Good luck all!

[coreyh2]

Postponing hosting for Juffos.

[Quitti]

The nation of Mictlan is currently hoping to get some aid in the form of gold to recruit enough priests to research up to enchantment 5 for dispel. We are also accepting any pearls and suggestions for the amount of pearls to use in dispelling the current global enchantments.

[coreyh2]

I changed the hosting interval to 48 hours. My earlier game switched around turn 40.

[Quitti]

Seems that no-one wants the burden of time and foul air dispelled...

[Ossa]

Can I get a delay until 4th of Jan? I'm on vacation;)

[coreyh2]

Done. Does someone who is still in the game want to take over admin duties? I'm not checking this thread as much as I was. :)

[coreyh2]

I sent Ruminant, Agartha, a PM. If he keeps stalling I'll set him to AI if that works for everybody.

[Ruminant]

Sorry about that, been rather busy the past week. I'll keep up to date from now on.

[coreyh2]

If you know when you'll be busy I can delay the game so you won't stall.

[coreyh2]

Juffos has told me the game is pretty much over. Should I end it?

[Ruminant]

Yes, -after- this last turn ;)

Well played Juffos and thanks for hosting Coreyh2.

[Quitti]

Yes, it's practically over. Good game, too bad about that burden of time - practically ruined my chances there ;)

[Ruminant]

Aww, wanted to see if my mages could kill at least one Jarl ;)

I don't suppose there's anyway to view next turn then?

[Quitti]

No, unfortunately no :/ Too bad about the BoT really, it really killed off my any source of blood slaves, and you know what turm3 mictlan is without slaves... (Hint, very weak lategame-wise). I had 2 Heliophagis, 1 arch devil and Pazuzu (Demon Lord) at the end, and I reckon Niefel had gazillion jarls and other stuff. At least he didn't attack me. Couldn't have done anything about those raiding jarls my spies saw everywhere.

[Juffos]

Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!

I had enormous luck. Check the attached turn file for explanation.
