during work hours, I'll continue to monitor the thread and requests for postponement.

I just don't have dominions at work..

Re: Countdown - ***Started***
 

That sounds like a terrible job. Then again, I don't either. Perhaps that explains the quitting.

Re: Countdown - ***Started***
 

Phew - got my turn in with 5 minutes to go :)

Anyone have any Earth gems? I have Death and Astral in exchange. Or Skull Mentors if you like that kind of thing :p

Re: Countdown - ***Started***
 

I am not sure yet but I might need a delay during next turn. Appologize in advance if thats the case.

Re: Countdown - ***Started***
 

sure, let me know during business hours EST.

Re: Countdown - ***Started***
 

I came in for Yomi as a temporary sub (10 turns), and now it looks like Yomi will need a longer term caretaker. I enjoy playing the demon ogres of love, but I can't keep up with the pace. I think I might have to start looking for a replacement soon.

Hm, sounds as if chrispedersen might be out for longer than though :(

On an administrative note, can anyone clarify the VP situation? How is that going to work?

Re: Countdown - ***Started***
 

When you take a VP, it only counts if you report it.
Each turn that you report it - you earn 1 vp.

Game ends when someone has acquired the requisite number of victory points.

When you report it say something like:

Marverni - Turn 45, Province 431.

I will update the First post to keep a running vp total for every nation.

Re: Countdown - ***Started***
 

Intriguing! So you need 100 points total? For example, holding 2 locations for 50 turns (but only if you report)?

And there are six locations, correct? The north half of the central island, and the 5 surrounding sea provinces - are there any others?

And you say no fortifying the victory locations - OK, but what if you get a castle via a spell or luck event?

Yeah, I guess I wasn't paying attention (or have forgotten :D ) to earlier discussions of VP conditions, but it's getting to the point where it might start to matter, I think.

Re: Countdown - ***Started***
 

Casting a spell to fortify a province would count as fortifying it. Having a random event castle form, I would say, would require that you demolish said fortification the turn it appears or as soon as humanly possible.
