I'd like Tyrant and (whoever was playing Arco, I forget) to comment on my scorched earth at the end. Does that dissuade people from attacking me in the future? Did I do enough damage that you even noticed?

Do you think it was sportsmanlike? I'm a bit of a game theory buff, see.
GameExtremist did, now I am subbing for him. I only joined when you had your last army, so I can't really comment on how well it worked.

I found it interesting that when you attacked my capital. Since you didn't own the castle (or any other provnince), it removed you from the game. I guess it would have been better to attack one of the uncastled provinces instead...

Curious that none of the astral races have voted.

Let me be the first, and the first to vote no. I've never played an astral race MP, I'd like to keep my options open. I think (possibly naively) that the remaining nations in the game could join together to overcome those spells, either by spamming globals, dispelling, etc.

While war has constantly raged in the West, is there peace in the East? Why aren't you guys killing each other? Get with it.

Good Luck.

Luckily GE has, and has researched mind hunt & soul slay already

My MP experience is pretty lacking. A few games in dom 2 (pan, abysia) and two in dom 3 (Vanheim, Eriu - both not going well.)

I've played a few SP games of Arco & Ryleh recently to get comfortable with high level astral...

Ten Hours to Host! Do your turns!

If you sent them in, even if you received an email receipt, make sure that you verify that your turn has been received at the Llamaserver website.

I sent mine in earlier, and received an email saying it had been received, but when i looked at the web page it showed my turn had not been received. I had to resend it.

To date 4 nations have still not sent in their turns, or sent them in and were not retained due to the computer issue earlier with the host computer:

Rlyeh, Pythium, Mictlan, and Machaka.

I vote *against* banning game-ending spells.

Furthermore, I vote twice! From beyond the grave! Wooooo!

Seriously, I don't think it's fair to ban game-ending spells at this point. You should specify if you're going to do that sort of thing at the begining.

Default ReForce Host is OFF!

I do not want people stale turning because they are waiting until the last minute to do their turns because they do not want force host triggered.

Force host is now off. The game will only host once every 48 hours. So there is now no disincentive to turning in a turn in a timely manner.

So, even if everyone has turned in their turns, the game will not host before the 48 hour period expires. That way you can always revisit and tweak your turns at a later time, while still having a "basic" turn submitted to avoid a stale.

Default Re: off for a week

Do you want me to try and find a sub for you until you get back? Things look fairly grim judging by the score graphs.
