Andean Zorro - MA/diff_research/VPs - game started

Ermor is on the verge of staling.

do we delay?
I typically say no, since no one asked for a delay. I'm about to leave for a few hours this afternoon though, and am ambiguous. If other players want to, we can. otherwise the game goes on as planned.

edit: i just noted that the server hasn't updated in almost two hours. i'm not sure what that means. will the host even process? could ermor have sent in a turn and it isn't showing? anyone?

i think safest bet is to delay hosting until llama can be contacted and we know what is going on.


continued edit: llama got back to me. ther was an error on the server that was preventing it from updating. it's working normally now, and I'm going to allow it to host.

not only has Caeleum launched a suprise invasion on our territory, Abysia refuses to acknowledge our embassy missions, and will not engage in diplomacy, a sure sign of hostile intent.

Shinuyama, it seems, is looking at a two front war, and it hasn't even been half a year. Other nations are encouraged to rise up and take action against Caeleum and Abysia, before they have managed to carve up Shinuyama together, and gained a large lead in lands and income. Their home capitals are 164 and 56, respectively. We will keep everyone updated on all their troop movements. Jump into their backyards and make a grab while we are keeping them occupied.

Beg pardon?

Abysia has not noticed any embassy missions - perhaps I'm missing where I am meant to see messages?

Further Abysia has made no hostile movements towards Shinuyama. Clearly some early posturing here for early advantage..

Well I staled, which is kind of a bummer for turn 6 or whatever, but I'll look at it as enforced savings and . . . generally conservative behavior

Sorry about that, guys. It looks like either I downloaded the turn file but didn't copy it, or the file got ruined some other way. I remember expecting a new turn but not having one to play, and then I had to leave on a trip, so I didn't get the chance to check the forums or anything.

Apologies guys. I wouldn't expect anything other than a stale if I did the same thing again I may be wrong, but I am inclined to believe that it was an error on my end, not llamaserver's.

Oh, I may have also sent .2h files (for two or three different games) in one email and llamaserver only receives one. I should be able to recover just fine.

Dragar, he either sent diplomacy via the forum here or via the game itself, in which case it would be the top item at the beginning of the turn when your "messages" screen turns up (same place you find battle results).

[Dragar]

ah, its a forum message. Never used the messaging system here so didn't think to check. Assumed any messages would come in game

well, it seems there was a simply misunderstanding with our embassy to Abysia; probably a cultural difference.

diplomacy is now underway and progress has been made. There is no war between Abysia and Shinuyama any longer.
