3. The diplomacy is not bound to any ethical rules, you may under no circumstance start metagame whining about broken deals, channel that anger into some roleplayed vendettas instead.
4. No delays longer than 5 hours for the first 20 turns(24hQH), the game will start when full.

[ghoul31]

Gath

[Juffos]

I would like to join as Pythium, please.

[SciencePro]

I'd like to play Utgard please

[Ossa]

Ryleth

[vfb]

Ryleth

That'll work really well with Dead Seas. You won't even have to worry about your dominion effects! ;)

[Jazzepi]

I think signing a pledge is silly. I'm more than happy to abide by the rules enumerated in it regarding going AI and not just leaving the game to stales as well as the other ones in this game's OP.

If that's good enough, then I'd be happy to play.

Jazzepi

[chrispedersen]

LA Mictlan

[Fantomen]

@Ossa: The seas will be dead, so no R´lyeh.

@Jazzepi: I understand, that signup rule is primarily to make people think twice before signing up. You´re a well known old player here so that´s certainly good enough.

I´m holding slots for the two of you which means that we need just one more to go, I´ll get the game up for pretenders this afternoon.

[Fantomen]

Game is up. You may if you wish start uploading pretenders while we wait for our last player to sign up.

[zzcat]

Marignon please.

[Jazzepi]

I'll take Abysia.

Jazzepi

[zzcat]

Marignon please.
On second thought I may not have time for a blood nation. I'll take Patala instead.

[Ironhawk]

I was thinking about playing but it looks like zzcat just took the last spot....

[Fantomen]

@Ironhawk:So it seems, Ossa has yet to chose his nation. I´m not entirely sure if he wants to play so I´ll pm you if he drops out.

Ok so then we are full, initiate your foul planning of malicious conspiracies.

Edit:Someone has uploaded a pretender for Atlantis, I assume this is Ossas choice of nation but I´d like him to confirm.

[chrispedersen]

Moderator: Will you be using fixed starts, and the fixed version of the map? The distribution of territories if not on parganos is pretty .. well .. awful.

[Ironhawk]

K, just let me know if you need me

[Fantomen]

@Chrispedersen: Yes we are using llamas fixed version with fixed starts and dead seas.

@Ironhawk:Ossa has decided to play as Atlantis, you will be welcome in future games.

[Fantomen]

Just waiting for Ghoul31 to get his pretender in now, hopefully we´ll start tomorrow.

[chrispedersen]

hey guys,

I'm going out of town on Wednesday next week.
I've already posted for a sub a few days ago - I have one possible, but he won't be getting *into* town until tuesday. Other than that, I haven't had even one bite...

This is just an FYI - Anybody *know* anyone?

[ghoul31]

My computer died so I wont be playing anymore

[Fantomen]

Sorry to hear that Ghoul31. Did you try to find a Sub?

I guess I´ll try then...

[Fantomen]

Looking at the graphs, I find it very unlikely that someone would like to take over Gath at this point so I´ll find someone to set it AI.

[ghoul31]

I decided to get a new computer. Can you delay the game for a couple of days?

[Fantomen]

I suppose I could, but I´d rather you found a temporary sub. Since I stated no delays in signup conditions I´d like some second opinions.

[chrispedersen]

DOH!!!!!!


Hey Fantomen - generally, I try to bend over for players, its a game, we're all people, life happens. I'd rather delay a couple of days and let ghoul play - please see my comments in private however.

[Fantomen]

If there is no angry playermob showing up with pitchforks and sharpened sticks to lynch me, well then I´m going to consider Ghouls computer crash a force majoure and grant him the delay.

You´ve got two days then Ghoul, hope thats enough. I made a request for a temporary sub and if someone steps up I´m going to let him do a couple turns rather that postponing.

[Fantomen]

I´m absolutely positive I postponed the game, but something seems to have gone wrong. I appologize to Ghoul31 for this, sorry.

[SciencePro]

i agree with chrispedersen. I hate delays too but a day or too per person for unforseen delays seems reasonable.

[zzcat]

I won't mind if we roll back to previous turn:p

[zzcat]

Received an "unexplainable increase of wealth" message from host:(. Bug reported.

[Fantomen]

That´s fairly common, ignore it.

[Jazzepi]

The people of Abysia have set torch fires to the evil empire of Pythium! Their multi-headed hydras have spread far and wide, but we will help cleanse the scourge of their evil from the lands!

Jazzepi

[Frozen Lama]

With the unprovoked attack by Atlantis upon the peaceful giants of the north, the benevolent lords of Mictlan are forced to take steps towards putting the aquatic beast to sleep. The exiled fish are yet to learn that their warlike ways are not tolerated above the waves!

[SciencePro]

The nation of Utgard thanks the honorable and wise emperor of Mictlan.

[Jazzepi]

I'm going camping this weekend. Leaving tomorrow morning. Can we have a hold on the game till I get back Sunday? I'll be able to do my turn ASAP around 1-2pm EST.

Jazzepi

[Fantomen]

Since we´ve passed turn 20 and the game has been almost free of delays so far, it seems to me a break over the weekend wouldn´t harm.

I´ll set the timer to sunday 1700 after next hosting (tomorrow 9:37am), unless Jazzepi gets that turn in before leaving of course.

[chrispedersen]

The benevolent mictlani seek a hammer, an earth hammer to be precise. Inquire within!

[chrispedersen]

We also seek skull caps!

[chrispedersen]

I am without power for the last 12 hours or so; and into the indefinite future. I need to ask for a delay.

Fant, if you don't mind keeping an eye on it, if the time gets down to 6 hours or so, and I haven't submitted a turn, can you delay for 12 or 24 hours?

Best

[SciencePro]

no power huh? Why don't you just forge a Tome of High Power? Watch out for the horror mark though...

[chrispedersen]

Science: =P

Hey guys today (sunday) is my son's birthday - and I'm heading out of town for 24 hours.

Can we increase the timer to 48 hours? If not may I ask for a 24 hour extension on the turn?

Oh: And congratulations Patala - I have #no# idea how I'm going to stop you.

[Fantomen]

Ok, timer extended by 26 hours.

24h is still ok for me, but if it is too fast for some of us then maybe it´s time to slow down. What do you others think?

Since we are only six players now I´ll change to 48 if two or more players wants it.

Edit: And congratulations to your son Chris! How old is he? My daughter got seven just yesterday.

[zzcat]

Oh: And congratulations Patala - I have #no# idea how I'm going to stop you.

After you have grabed a lot of provinces from me and magic dueled a couple of my thugs(the cloud trapezing sorceresses are really nasty)? I think you means "to destroy you" instead of "to stop you"...

BTW: Happy Birthday to your son:)

@all other nations: Would anyone be willing to see Mictlan conquer the world? With twice as many provinces than any other nation AND perfect magic diversity(sorceress) AND blood stones(god), few can stand his way if we would give him the chance to defeat us one by one...

[SciencePro]

i'm fine with a specific delay if anyone needs it, but I think I would prefer a 24 hour time-frame for now. Maybe that's just because my empire is so small though...

[chrispedersen]

Awwww thanks guys - really appreciate it..
He turned 9.

And he *loves* wargames - and dominions. Daddy has to kick him off the computer to get a turn in =-)

[chrispedersen]

Guys, there is somethign seriously bugged going on in this game.

for 3 of the last 4 turns I have submitted, llamaserver has gotten my orders - and ignored them.

None of my armies move. None of my mercenaries pay upkeep.
So for example, despite the fact that I paid upkeep for Nergal - he is now unemployed, and the money is in my treasury.

None of my remote summons are cast.

My commanders that were ordered to move did not.

I equipped mages with blood slaves - didn't happen.
Moved magic items around - nothing again.

Mages that were ordered to go from defense to research did not. I am willing to forward my turns to an independent so they can verify

[SciencePro]

****.

has anyone experianced anything like this before?

[Fantomen]

@Chrispedersen:Sorry to hear that. Now some of your remotes went through at least. I was attacked by two horrors last turn, and that army in your fort sure as hell grew a lot indicating a gateway or massive recruitment.

This makes me guess that you have made revised turns to complete your orders that Llamaserver ignored, yes? Correct me if I am wrong.

This problem has arisen recently with llamaserver, I´ve had it as well as several others. You get the confirmation email, but your orders are ignored. Very annoying.

Other commands that has been ignored have been timer changes and postponing of turns.

Llamabeast has no access to his creation at the moment so the best we can do is to complete all our orders before sending in the first turn file.

The other problems has been dealt with by simply repeating the command, I guess you could send your revised turn file a few times over a few hours to make sure it goes through.

[Fantomen]

I am now changing the timer to 48h. Not because I really want to, I actually think the timer is often changed too early for my tastes. But it seems appropriate to minimize the current agony caused by the increasing bugginess of llamaserver.

For now try to get all orders right in your first turn file and double check the status page for hosting times and to confirm your turns have been accepted.

[chrispedersen]

Correct, I am sending the orders in two times at least.

[Fantomen]

Hosting postponed 24h on my own request, probably don´t need so much time but I need to be sure I get home in time.

I´m not sure if the timer change went through, llamaserver displays that the timer is 48 but it feels to me like it is still on 24. Strangeness...

[Fantomen]

Ulm welcomes the foolish giants into our cold loving embrace. Come little giant, listen to the lure of the night. Closer, come closer. Enter the womb of death and be born again in our service.

[SciencePro]

Unfortunately for you vampires, us Utgardians like our meat *cold*

Nom nom nom.

[chrispedersen]

Yah, no warm blood utgardians =-)

Fantomen, can you turn quickhosting off? I would like to change my turn. You don't need to change the scheduled hosting I just want to make sure it doesn't host before I get home.

[Fantomen]

Quickhosting turned off as requested. It will be turned on again after next hosting or if Chris pms me that he´s ready.

[chrispedersen]

Hey Fant
It seems as if hosting was delayed a couople of days? Was there a request other than mine? I appreciate the delay - I got the turn in before the deadline (as I said I would).

Chris

[Fantomen]

I have issued no more delays than those mentioned, and the timer seems correct to me.

[chrispedersen]

Hmmm. Just as a note, llamaserver did not accept the revised turn. Or rather, accepted it but did not run it.

[Fantomen]

Yes that seems to be increasingly common. Keep your turns until you´re fully satisfied with it.

[Fantomen]

Unfortunately for you vampires, us Utgardians like our meat *cold*

Nom nom nom.

Cold giant meat delivered, as requested.:D

Your blood is strong and most...refreshing, more of your kin is always welcome to feast with us in the night.

[SciencePro]

Unfortunately for you vampires, us Utgardians like our meat *cold*

My my... someone sure does love the smack-talking.

Don't forget to watch your back!

[chrispedersen]

May I havea delay of 3 hours? Hoping to get back in town in time to run a turn.

[Fantomen]

Done, assuming llamaserver minds its manners.

[chrispedersen]

submitted... why is abysia always holding its turn?
you're ulm aren't you fant?

[Fantomen]

submitted... why is abysia always holding its turn?
you're ulm aren't you fant?

I was last time I checked.

[Fantomen]

My my... someone sure does love the smack-talking.

I can´t deny it.:p

By the way: Ulm welcomes Porthos the giant werewolf hero in our service. May he slay many giants and inspire other unruly lycans to accept thier destined place as slaves to the nosferatu.

Don't forget to watch your back!

My my...now you got me all paranoid and stuff:cold:

[zzcat]

vampyres vs werewolves? Hmm...

[SciencePro]

By the way: Ulm welcomes Porthos the giant werewolf hero in our service. May he slay many giants and inspire other unruly lycans to accept thier destined place as slaves to the nosferatu.


sigh. i think his amulet of magic resistance was broken or something. Or I guess if you spam charm enough you eventually get lucky.

[chrispedersen]

This game is freaking beyond ridiculous.
Didn't take the revised turn *again*.

Never cast a divine blessing despite having 120 jag warriors, and being SCRIPTED to cast it. Absolutely FREAKING ridiculous. What should have been an overwelming route in my favor instead is an overwelming loss.

yay!

[Fantomen]

Well you also had a lucky shot taking out my fog warrior caster on turn one.

I think fog warriors and divine blessing would have been pretty equal in worth in this battle, and I would still have won. But who knows...

Heh, I was lucky that single point of friendly dominion remained during the battle. Whole bunch of bloodsuckers turned up in my capital.

[zzcat]

Never cast a divine blessing despite having 120 jag warriors, and being SCRIPTED to cast it.

It's really weird. I think you should check the debug log and post it to the bug thread:eek:

[Fantomen]

@Chris: I looked closer on the battle. You have no h3 priests. You had one communion master and one sabbath master, none of them were priests.

Either you forgot to script communion master for one or your priestmages or that mage ignored that order.

In any case there are no priest on the battlefield capable of casting divine blessing.

[chrispedersen]

==============================
The Couatle (H2) was scripted

Communion Master, Divine Blessing Banish x3
==============================

Communion master would make him an H5.

Taking out the Fog Warriors guy wasn't an accident. I've been watching your combats for awhile.

I had two S2 guys set up to mind duel him. The odds were ~84% that he would be dead in the first round.

[Fantomen]

So he ignored the communion master script and instead decided to cast body ethereal? I can understand how thats pretty damn frustrating:( Perhaps it was due to casting first, before there were any slaves present. Seems very strange anyhow.

I take it you gatewayed those troops in there with you Couatl, it was a nice move. I expected that but not the mind duels, suppose I´ll have to count on that from now on.

[Fantomen]

With the llamaserver gone mad it seems we have still managed to host. The quirk is that I received no turn file, did anyone else get their turns?

[SciencePro]

no turn file here for any of the four games i'm in. Just some spam then nothing. I guess llama is still working on it

[chrispedersen]

With the llamaserver gone mad it seems we have still managed to host. The quirk is that I received no turn file, did anyone else get their turns?

No turn file, the web page has been like this for days.

[zzcat]

With the llamaserver gone mad it seems we have still managed to host. The quirk is that I received no turn file, did anyone else get their turns?

No turn file:(

[SciencePro]

seems fixed now. You can get the turn file by requesting a resend

[chrispedersen]

As a heads up, I leave town saturday night returning tuesday.
So I will get this turn in before I leave, but I will probably need time on the subsequent turn, please.

thanks

[Fantomen]

Ok, I´ll see to it.

[chrispedersen]

Can we get a 4 hour delay?

I'd also like to propose you the winner I know abysia will object but ....

[Fantomen]

4 hours it is.

I would object as well, the only graph where I´m ahead of Abysia is gem income. And there are some unknown factors as well. I´d say the outcome of this game is still quite uncertain, of course I´m no multiplayer veteran.

[zzcat]

Ulm's vampire horde is awesome. But Abysia has immortal pretender too and he has access to blood sacrifice so the situation is quite tricky:)

[chrispedersen]

I am very close to tearing my hair out in frustration.

My couatl mage, once again decides to go off script.
Chooses for some RIDICULOUS reason to cast madness.
Berserks himself
and promptly throws himself on the sword of the enemy.

Once again DECLINING to cast bless.

I checked the debug log

It seems you scripted arcane bolt but there is no magic being in battlefield. Perhaps you installed some mod which modifies spell IDs.

[Fantomen]

If it is of any comfort, a blessing probably wouldn´t have helped you much in that last battle. I think you are overestimating your sacreds if you think so. Touch of madness was probably the worst possible spell at the time though, so your frustration is understood. I can´t deny it was hilarious to see that couatl berzerk himself.:p

Arcane bolt against my gargoyles on the other hand...lucky me I sent the devil.

[chrispedersen]

3 gargoyle SCS 2 Devil SC's so I rolled the dice. And lost as you attacked with the devil.

So I understand completely why it went off script. No magical creatures. But Touch of madness on itself is just FREAKING brilliant.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway Science wants to take over Mictlan. (and go AI with utgard)

Any objections?

[Fantomen]

It will be sad to see you go, I have really enjoyed our little war. But I have no objections if you get a replacement. Sciencepro should be motivated enough to exact vengance, and you can´t blame him for giving up utgård at this point.

[SciencePro]

Yes i held on with utgard for as long as i could but there isnt much of anything left of them now. I figured sice chris doesn't want to play and i do i might take over mictlan if it Is okay with everyone. I doubt i could win the game or anythng but at least i could practice with a new nation and keep things sporting for the game oveall ehich seems to me to be far from decided.

[Fantomen]

Very well then. I will need your email adress via PM to put you in control of Mictlan.

[chrispedersen]

If you insisted I would continue, or if you feel I'm not being true to the good player pledge. But I honestly feel you beat me fair and square - outmaneuvered me on two occassions.

As for the sacreds on the last fight - I had no commanders to move the sacreds to safety - you killed all of them. Too many sacreds to just let go. Had you attacked with the gargoyle, no mr, no armor arcane bolts would have won the day I think.

Coulda woulda shoulda = ).

People are crazy to leave you with 4 globals. I've seen all of abysia's warlocks - but that might get rid of .. one.

Good luck all!

[Fantomen]

I am delaying the game until monday because I had to work extra during this weekend.

[Fantomen]

It seems that the person supposed to set Utgard AI has failed to do so, I´ll ask chrispedersen if he can do it.

[binarysolo]

Whoops, sorry about that. I was handed Utgard and wasn't sure if I was to play it to the death (as per usual, to make it a fairer game for those not adjacent to the nation) or not.

I'll make a pretty big disclaimer that my own purpose would really just be to hang on and be a "defeated AI+" than anything else. The nation I took over was in a pretty sorry state of affairs, though I think I could make the aggressor nation pay in blood for the last two fortresses. Probably take out a few SCs while I was at it.

Let me know if you guys still want me to play out the last turns of Utgard.

[Fantomen]

Silly me, now I already handed it over to someone else...

[binarysolo]

It's cool, sounds like he's gotten a handle of things too. Stretch is your pointman for the last of the Utgard. :)

[SciencePro]

Thanks for your help binary.

Has anyone heard from Jazzepi lately? He staled last turn and looks about to stale again.

[Fantomen]

Not a word. Would be a shame to have Abysia lose ground from staling considering how strong it is. I´ll see if I can get in touch with Jazeppi and if he seems about to stale I will postpone the game over the weekend. I´ve noticed he usually waits until the deadline though, and he hasn´t staled more than once in a row before.

[SciencePro]

he got it in i see

[zzcat]

Abysia staled two turns in a row.

[SciencePro]

yeah he hasn't responded to PM's either. This is discouraging.

[Stretch]

I could use a 3 hour delay to ensure my turn gets in tomorrow night. I've been subbing for the last 4-5 turns. Not sure if Abysia is big or not, but if we want to wait for him to get back I'm down.

[Fantomen]

We should make sure that Abysia doesn't stale again. I'd say Abysia has a pretty dececive role to play if we want this game to go on.

[Fantomen]

I'll be delaying the game 24h unless I see Abysias turn coming in soon.

[Fantomen]

Ok, as there is no sign of Jazzepi I´ll delay the game by 24h.

[SciencePro]

Did Jazzepi say he was going to be away? If he gave no notice and isn't responding to anything then maybe we should advertise for a permanent sub. Even with the stales, abysia's position in this game is still very strong.

[Fantomen]

Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

[Fantomen]

As there is no sign of Jazzepi I´ll stop the game until we find a sub for Abysia. I think you all agree that Abysia is absolutely necessary for the game to stay competitive.

As I border Abysia and have the recources to quickly invade I think setting Abysia AI would equal a win for me so thats a bad idea. Letting it stale is just the same.

So I'll make a thread looking for a sub, please help me find one if you know someone who might want to take over.

I'd also like to offer Stretch to switch to Abysia as an alternative solution.

Stay tuned.

[Fantomen]

Frozen llama has taken up the burning mantle of Abysia.

[SciencePro]

Yay welcome llama.

[Stretch]

I think signing a pledge is silly. I'm more than happy to abide by the rules enumerated in it regarding going AI and not just leaving the game to stales as well as the other ones in this game's OP.

If that's good enough, then I'd be happy to play.

Jazzepi

I guess not quite good enough, eh? :doh: Thanks for helping out, Lama!

[Frozen Lama]

I happened to be fast. turn sent

[zzcat]

Welcome:)

[Fantomen]

Sorry folks but I have to delay this turn too. I just spent more than an hour doing my turn, and then my computer crashed. All orders nullified. I really have to go to sleep now so I'm delaying another 24 hours.

[Stretch]

Oh wow... sucks. I need a delay too, if possible, so it works for me. :)

[Stretch]

I had my turn such as it was ready to go and my internet had dropped off. :( I finally got it back (it was a problem with equipment somewhere on comcast's end), but it was too late. Not that it mattered much (or at all) in the grand scheme of things, I just feel bad asking for a delay and then still not getting the turn in.

[Stretch]

On the one hand, I staled again (thanksgiving conversations with family took longer than I thought). On the other hand, my nation is tiny, I'm waiting for Ulm to take another stab at me (so that I can deliver a massive beating), and he didn't attack this turn. So good job, whoever else is keeping Ulm busy, and I'll make super sure to get this turn in.

[Fantomen]

Sorry for the delay. But my turns are pretty damn huge now, and I'm not in a position where I can afford to stale or make mistakes. I might need to set us on a longer timer.

[Fantomen]

The people celebrates, long will this day be sung in the gloomy inns of Ulm. The day when destiny hung by but a thread of hope. The day when ulm's defenders stood outnumbered against armies of superior numbers, against a foe composed of former allies, whose treachery were as black as their hearts, and yet they prevailed.

Heh heh, that was probably the most epic battles I´ve had in MP so far.:)

[zzcat]

LOL, I scripted vortex of returning @ Old forest but after a long hesitation I resent the 2h file and cancelled it. So they got annihilated:(

I think now it's time to vote Ulm as the winner. What do you think abut it?

[Stretch]

I've been playing Utgard as a favor to the other players in this game... it has no chance to win. Whatever you guys think is fine.

[Frozen Lama]

lol. i can keep his vamps back by blood saccing. that just leaves a million gargoyles and a bunch of storm demons and all the other stuff that's been generally owning me. yeah, i could fight for a while, but he's owned me and patala's armies. he deserves the win

[Fantomen]

I am very honoured:), but I agree. As I suffered no real losses and have all my resources intact. I would be able to launch a full fledged offensive right away and you probably couldn't stop me at this point.

Luck played a big part though, and I´d say losing just one of those big battles could have left me vulnurable, or forced to turtle up.

I'd just like to hear Sciencepro's opinion before wrapping it up.

[SciencePro]

Yes I agree. Nice job Fantomen!

Good game everyone.

[Stretch]

The remaining commanders in Utgard salute Ulm on their victory. They have retreated to their last redoubt under the watchful eyes of their remaining skratti, norn, and ice devil generals. While they may have to begin paying taxes to their new Ulmish overlords, the indomitable spirit of the giants shall never be quashed.

[Fantomen]

Let the world rejoice, peace at last. After years of war the world unites in worship of Santa Sangre(holy blood). A new dusk, a darker future for everyone. Let the hospitals be replaced by Igors, let the cities be ruled by councils of vampire elders. Send your innocent daughters to the party and throw yourself to the wolves as the feast of endless night raves across the world.

:ghug:

Thank you everyone for playing, it has been a deligthful adventure. Special thanks to Frozen llama and stretch, who stepped up as subs and gamesavers. Also my first multiplayer victory, wohoo! :first:

Hope to see you all in other games, as friend or foe.

[Fantomen]

lol. i can keep his vamps back by blood saccing. that just leaves a million gargoyles and a bunch of storm demons and all the other stuff that's been generally owning me. yeah, i could fight for a while, but he's owned me and patala's armies. he deserves the win

Btw, I´m a "she" actually. As in: "she's owned me and Patalas armies":D

[Trumanator]

Didn't you know, there are NO GIRLZ ON THE INTERNETZ!

lol j/k

[rdonj]

Male until proven otherwise?

But really, it's no secret there are several female dom3 players here. We just don't make a big deal about it.

[Stretch]

No problem, it was fun. I hadn't got a chance to play with ice devils before this. The 30 or so storm demons that showed up in my lands toward the end gave me pause, as Utgard had no air capability and no rings of tamed lightning. After a kind donation of 20 slaves from another player and some research into evocation I was going to try a massive deluge of blade wind + shadow blast to take out their guards quickly while my werewolves tried to rush in after the fact and let the bells of cleansing do their work (or get lucky with blood vengeance... not sure if spell focus amulets help it work or not). It would have probably resulted in dead werewolves, but with all of the fireworks I was hoping that some of the later scripted evocations would start hitting the storm demons that I wanted to hit, letting the ice devils mop things up.

There was still the fact that I only had 2 provinces and was just being contained, but at least it would have kept the Well of Urd safe from the usurper, should it be attacked. ;)
