Pernicious Peanut - Newbie only 4 player game (Running)

[ErikM]

The lizards of Ctis are pleased to announce that they have reached Construction 4, can make Skull Mentors, Thistle Maces etc. for trade, and would like to buy Earth gems or a Dwarven Hammer.

~1h left with no turn from Tien Chi in. This would be a really bad time to stale, so I'm putting up an extension for them. More mental problems going around?

Only house painting takes some time but i managed thx.

But before you celebrate too much and send your turn in (oh, but you already have) you might want to think about those units you slaughtered - did they have wings? Where did they come from? Is it an empty bag you're holding?

With all due regards, Caelum

I thinnk it is considerate that the game was delayed for Tien Chin even though unrequested (he does need help), and there still is the unanswered question why the game was not actually delayed when I requested it and the game was supposedly delayed - but wasn't. I ended up with a stale turn!

The real point here is that we should be consistent - otherwise we could get in the area of suspected favoritism. My personal feeling is that the game should only be delayed if the player concerned cares enough to ask for an extension. And then it should be given if possible (unless it becomes too frequent).

Otherwise, let's just remove the deadlines.

I happened to have time today and noticed TC's lack of a submission. I was considering changing my moves accordingly, luckily I didn't. My strategy would have failed miserably if he needed and got an extension I was not aware of (I don't normally check this thread).

In conclusion, I am not complaining - just request that we are consistent.

Man i was in a mood to roleplay although i don't remember exactly what message i sent of course if it's message i sent that annoyed you. After all this is only a game and i wanted to move things a bit. Wings or no wings i'll enjoy learning how to counter players. I am not very experienced in MP but i definitely dont mind loosing if i can learn from it.

Yo, mi amigo Kupiko, sorry if I have created the wrong impression - I'm just happy to be still alive three turns after the announcement of hostilities (in the form of your invasion) between our two nations!
In my role as leader of Caelum and member of the opposition to the Tien Chi hegemony it is my duty to trashtalk about you! Once we sign a peace treaty (or perhaps you surrender?) I will refer to you only in the most reverent of terms.
Until then, en garde!

PS
And yes, I am jealous of your position as the most powerful in SSStreamlands.

PPS
I am a raw Noob and have much to learn.

This is most amusing to me. On the one hand, Tien Chi is first on provinces and pretty hugely ahead on army but seems to have ended up on the defensive. On the other hand, "everyone dogpile on the leader" is working surprisingly poorly. Over the past 3 turns or so since the war started, net province change has been TC-1, Ctis+1, others 0. Time to bring more hundreds of units and some Death-5 summoners to bear, I guess.

On the other topic, I guess the easiest way to be consistent is "no more extensions unless requested", which saves me checking the game page, but I still have to check here and my email.

PS
A tip to Kupiko: I think you mean "losing" here. Loosing is when you set something free. When enemy armies arrive in your capital, you are losing.
