MP: EA: Master Blaster [NOOB GAME]

[13lackGu4rd]

going out of town tomorrow, until the weekend than again next week. got my current turn in but I'd need an extension for next turn until Thursday or Friday night than I'll try to do as many turns as I can during the weekend and leave again on Sunday, until next Thursday or Friday.

sorry for these delays oh and before you guys ask, no I won't have internet access, nor a lab top for that matter, so I won't be able to do my turns while I'm away.

Blackguard, I don't see your Turn. Anyways we should probably pause the game till you get back, unless you don't mind taking a stale.

Game: Master_Blaster
Turn number 39
Next turn due: 14:35 GMT on Wednesday July 14th

Join up mates!

I'm worried that Blackguard might stale again. Can you please pause the game until this is sorted out? Also, if you aren't going to check the thread regularly could you please give somebody who does co-admin powers.

Kind of a shame for all of us to put a ton of time into playing a game and then have players stale because the admin doesn't check the forum.

no idea why I staled on turn 39, I was pretty sure I sent in my turn before I left. oh well... so anyway, got 2 turns in this weekend and tomorrow I'm off again, the current turn is in, I checked llamaserver this time to make sure, so if the game will continue on its 72 hour schedule than I should be fine. next turn due on tuesday, than the 1 after that on friday(should be back home by than, hopefully) but just in case I could use an extension for the next turn until saturday, if the admin is even checking this thread...

oh and if you guys play fast and get the turns rolling faster than I will need an extension until saturday, whenever next turn will begin...

Ulm, who I am currently fighting a war against, staled. I wonder if it was a one time thing if or if we should try and find a replacement. I think he is significantly better off then Yomi was...

Maybe Num wants to take over another nation .

No thanks. I was a little disappointed with the position of Yomi when I joined. I expected a bad one, but not that bad, and it is less fun without any hope nor plan to do anything. So I will not replace anyone soon .

I have no connection to this game, but want to post to say a big "Thank You" to Debaser8 for reporting that he was fighting a potentially staling opponent A very good sporting gesture indeed, and one that deserves much praise IMO. As it seems to be getting ever rarer in MP games these days

Personally I find it very sad how rare it is that players actually report this sort of thing, as too many seem to prefer getting an unfair advantage fighting stalers or AI's rather than fight honest hard-fought wars against other players Or they try to make claim they didn't know their opponent was staling (yeah right, likely story. How is it possible not to notice that your opponent is doing nothing to defend himself turn after turn as you attack freely)


Anyway, interruption over. Happy gaming, and best of luck to everyone

I sent a private message to Astyreal asking for an extension, around 16h before the hosting I think. I'm rather unhappy about the game now, since I expect to have lost two forts and my serious attempt at countering Kailasa's armies (I didn't see the new turn yet) due to not getting the extension I asked for. I think a rollback is called for. I can promise to not look at the new turn before scripting by defenses.

On an unrelated note, I'll be out of town for around two weeks starting next friday so I'm going to need a sub soon.

I am afraid I disagree with you Calahan. Maybe a lot of experienced players care only about winning, and nothing else. But in the few newbie games I have played, sportmanship is very present, exactly like in this situation. Lot of fair players (Well maybe not in diplomacy ) and lot of fair conducts.
With the big exception of time management and sudden disappearance of course.

No problem for the rollback.

[Debaser8]

I've requested co-admin powers from llamabeast. Please let me know if you object to a roll back.
