No need to apologize, we have players from around the world. And, your English is better than my ability in a second language.

Thanks for the warning. At that point we should be well into the game and can maybe put the game on hold (I find it's most important to avoid delays early on when turns only take a few minutes to complete).

Hmm, so I guess two players were at war and one of them said "here's all the info on nation x's pretender if anyone wants to attack him"? While I don't think this violates Dominions etiquette, I do want this to be a friendly game and I can see your point about how that it would come across as aggressive. It might be better to just say that you can provide intelligence to anyone willing to help in the attack on nation x.


As far as abandoning games goes, there's no requirement to sign a pledge but of course I agree with the idea of following through on games you sign up for. If you get off to a bad start or suffer heavy losses in battle or just aren't enjoying a particular game, I encourage you to stick with it and try your best. There's a decent chance you'll learn something new, and even if you don't you are making the game a better experience for the other players. If they do the same when the shoe is on the other foot and you are doing well while they are struggling, MP just becomes a better experience all around.

If you decide that you just don't like Dominions, or at least Dominions MP, in general and want to stop playing then things become more difficult. In this case it's understandable you'd want out but it would be nice if you could have the courtesy to line up a sub instead of just disappearing. BTW, this is another reason not to start too many games early on - if you decide you don't like Dominions MP all of a sudden many games are facing the need to replace a player instead of one or two.

I hope Mr. Cuathon is just plotting his strategy and hasn't abandoned us. Please let us know if you need help with anything. Hopefully we can get started soon.

Hmm. Looks like we have Caelum instead of Jotunheim. I just want to make sure that that's Mr. Cuathon and not some interloper trying to steal his spot.

Thanks for noticing that. TaoCuathon's not on the forums at the moment so I think you may be right. I'll message the Caelum player from the llamaserver.

Maybe one of us is rather a bit too anxious to get it started

Although, quite honestly, I'm not sure how much longer we would want to wait for Mr. Cuathon if that's not him. It's been about 40 hours since the game was posted to Llamaserver, so this doesn't bode well for him being able to make a 24 hour turnaround.

He PM'd me several times over the past few days so he's been around. He ran into problems yesterday because he wasn't able to find his savedgames folder to send his pretender/turns. I assume he's using Windows Vista (or maybe 7?) and I sent him this link but haven't heard back from him since then.

I'd like to hear from him. If he switched to Caelum then no problem and the game can continue. If he didn't send the Caelum pretender then we either need to resolve his problem finding the savedgames folder or find a sub.

I just went ahead to see if everything works out for me (nice starting position btw, hope we can continue :P) and it does.

And Caelum sent his turn in as well, lol.
