All 3 of those things could cause globals to be announced but not appear.
The games coding is very linear. When someone casts a global, the message is created. If something else later in the turn sequence takes out that caster then the global might be removed but not the message IIRC.

Note that the casting of globals occurs on step 5, and the actual effects of globals is figured into the game on step 16

Ctis has started his move south by taking 2 out of the 3 provinces he attacked. No sign (yet!) of Tartarians. I wonder if there is a guide anywhere about successful strategies against an AI. What is he doing in the north?

Is there any cooperation we can do? I took two provinces from Ryleh, but his count remained the same - does that mean he is moving south also?

Since it is just the two of us, can we extend the turns to three or four days? Please.

Now about that Illwinter... This is not the spell to cast if you want some cooperation

[Jorus]

I have said some time ago that I am happy to adjust the server timing to anything the other players want. Still feel the same. Just make a concrete proposal (e.g. 3 or4 days) to Gandelf, maybe also by e-mail.

Illwinter: Yeah, I felt bad about it, I don't even know whether Ashdod likes cold or not, but I know Ctis doesn't - and he is the more immediate concern. Besides, you knocked out my Astral collection spell.

Gandalf,

Can we extend the turns to 96 hours from now on? There is just two of us left.

I'll send a PM too.

Thanks.

[Gandalf Parker]

OK its been extended

[Jorus]

Nauquan,

You've missed several turns now, are you prepared to concede?

I would like to play this out, so if you plan to

1. quit - please find a sub or let's put Ashdod on AI and I can practice my end-game skills (which are non-existent).

2. play after missing a few turns, but are just building up gems/whatever - just let us know.

3. start making your moves - fine. 96 hours OK?

In any case, it is a bit annoying that I have to wait for the full 96 hours for you NOT to make a move. Sometimes I'm ready earlier and would like to make back-to-back moves and get this game going.
