Scratch the extension for me, I no longer need it. The campsite is flooded so we're "camping" in the back yard instead...

No VP Claim:

Province 105 has been taken on turn 54 by Yomi via Water Queen (et. al):

I'm not going to reset the time. Don't want to stale someone that didn't get the -postphone.

If all players get turns in, it will quickhost anyway.

Re: Countdown
 

And well, we still need to hear from Ermor anyway, and find out what's up there.

Re: Countdown
 

Any response from Ermor? Are we going to host as scheduled, or try to find a sub, or set Ermor to AI?

Re: Countdown
 

I'd say it's not looking good for getting an Ermor sub, which is a shame, as before their multiple stales, they were looking pretty good.

They had a great surprise attack against me (Marverni), taking lots of provinces and killing loads of valuable troops, and then followed it up the next turn taking more - but they lost their pretender and a fully equipped golem then too.

And the player has been AWOL ever since, so it might be poorly timed RL issues, or a failure to adhere to the "Baalz pledge" spirit. If it is the latter, that's a shame, as Ermor had a lot of tools still in left in the shed - at least two, if not more, of the Elemental Royalty, several of the Artifacts (and I think some very important ones), and the lead in research!

So too bad the player disappeared. And now after three stales in a row, and coming under attack, it is likely a losing proposition for any sub :(

But I guess it would still be nice to find someone who'd like to fool around with a "Custer's Last Stand" scenario, rather than setting Ermor AI (and watch the AI totally waste the assets the player built up before walking away).

Re: Countdown
 

Right TwoBits.. I really hate games being decided by stales.

I'd ask all players (especailly those that don't want two running away with it) to look for replacements.

I shall probably not be allowing the ermor player into any further games that I admin.

Re: Countdown
 

Wow I really have to say thanks to Stagger lee
who has decided to pick up and sub for Ermor.

As soon as he gives his email information I will sub him into the game.

Yay!

Re: Countdown
 

Hi guys. I've sent chris my email and hopefully will have the turn when I get home from work. It may take a minute or even two to figure out this vp system. And I'm at war with one of you. Prepare for the wrath of the Old Empire. I hope I got something left to fight with ...

Re: Countdown
 

Stagger Lee has been updated as the new player for Ermor.
A turn has been sent him (advise me if you do not receive stagger) - and the turn has been delayed 8 hours for his benefit. as this is now more than 24 hours that should be ok.

If you need more time, please give me a heads up stagger.

Chris
