AOE does indeed have an iron will, a spine like an oak, and testicles like coconuts.

He also sets up a mean communion.

I suspect they just want your tasty delicious gem income that you have worked so hard for.

P.S.: Ulm's PD is so good.

No. I met all the deadlines as published by llamaserver, except this one which was moved up. I even said I was going to be away labor day weekend!

I think it wasn't kosher to move it up AoE; moving it up, after a server outage, after an upgrade, and after a request not to -but it can't really be undone at this point - so whats the point?

Anyway the position has some strong positivies. I'm not dropping as it isn't playable, I'm dropping because of disgust. But I'll help a sub anyway I can, to minimize disruption.

I'm sorry you're disgusted. You've already placed yourself as AI. The only way to undo that as far as I know is to roll back the previous turn. Yet, if we are going to roll back one turn then why not two?

I'm personally not going to decide on this though as it has way too many consequences. Those already embroiled in war would obviously change many of their actions based on the results of previous failures. If all of the players are for it then I'm willing to do the roll backs, but only if their is a reasonable consensus.

Little late. You can't undo going AI.

I thought it was still accepting turns, could be wrong.

Anyway, my main point is only that I'm sorry to hear you want to drop. I know that a stale can be pretty frustrating I understand where you are coming from.

Oh yeah, I can't open my games now. There is a new version of Dominions3?

Fakeymcfake · #8 September 1st, 2008, 01:42 AM

Yep, check the Dominions 3 page for the newest patch, might have to search a little for the link.

Chris dropping out then?

Are we getting a sub for him? And by the way, what happens to human nation during a stale turn? Is it just a passed turn, the AI doesn't interfere or anything? Just a bit scared what happens at our borders

Fakeymcfake · #10 September 1st, 2008, 03:29 AM

Nothing happens, it just sits and collects money/gems/research. And while I can understand that stale turns are somewhat irritating (I've had one already this game due to a mistake on my part) it is a bit of a disappointment that Chris dropping because of one missed turn. The issue with llamaserver has been cleared up in any case so I doubt there will be any further problems.
