My current "hats off" goes to Frozen Lama without any doubt. LA Atlantis are a pretty unloved nation, and have been tagged as weak by a lot of players. But that's an outstanding job of getting them blasting out of the blocks I must say Frozen Lama. Good effort all round to you there

Frozen Atlantis is a solid, solid nation which I would rate 3rd in power in LA, however that is somewhat dependent on map.

Their underwater leaders with astral/earth do not sleep, making them immune to dreams of R. They have heightened MR for use against Mind hund. And they have astral/earth on the forgiving fathers which allows crystal coins / shields.

Which they desperately need for battlefield spells. But once you pop on a few slave matrixes, lead a communion with a merciful mother - casting banish... yummi!

thank you chris, although i think 3rd is thinking a little big for atlantis.

in other news, Atlantis is selling nature gems for water, earth, or death gems. pm with offers.

Sorry everyone, but I'm going to have to kindly ask for another 24 hour delay for this turn.

The micro with Ermor has now got to the stage where if I want to do a decent turn, I need to spend about four hours shuffling my 5-6k of chaff around. Which with a 48 hour schedule basically means having to spend roughly two hours on this game every evening. And finding that sort of free time each day isn't always possible Fighting in 4-5 wars also adds to the required thinking time

I won't ask to increase the schedule yet, but I would humbly ask for forgiveness in advance if I need to ask for delays more often than not.

[Hadrian_II]

postponed

but if you will need lots of delays, i would think increasing the hosting tim to 72h would be the better solution

Henceforth, Gath's player will be known as AlgaeNymph. This will only affect forum correspondence.

[Frozen Lama]

so is it the same player with a different forum name?

[AlgaeNymph]

Yep. Annette can vouch for me.

[Calahan]

Are there any strong objections to the game moving to a 72 hour schedule? I'm going to need another 24 hour delay for this turn (a change to 72 hours would automatically add an extra 24 hours), and also probably for the next as well due to being out most of Saturday.

I know it's not ideal to switch to a long hosting at such an early stage, but my only other alternative is to start doing half completed turns, which would start draining my enthusiasm very quickly. Or of course to keep asking for delays (but Hadrian_II has already said in that case it's better to switch to 72 hours).

[Hadrian_II]

set the hosting to 72h.

also as i am out of the game, i would be happy to give the game admin duties to a volunteer still in the game

[Calahan]

I can take over the admin duties if you like Hadrian_II. (unless there are any other volunteers)

And thank you for switching the hosting to 72 hours. My thanks for that both as the Ermor player in MM hell, and as possibly the new admin. Since as the latter, that's one possibly controversial decision I won't have to make a (potentially biased) call on.
