True that (even though there are blood mages available, but they can't move masses), but all it takes is one empowerement. Either empower one dryad to D1 or a Revenant to N1, and there is basically an un-limited stream of Mound Kings and Carrion centaurs to lead the masses. Of course, in MA the Pans have a 25% chance to be at least D1, so no Empowering needed (although it would feel *wrong* to use a Pan to just summon Mound Kings and Carrion Centaurs; it's just *so* below them ).

Have we got a potential problem with 'P3D' / T'ien Ch'i? The last turn was staled, and are currently the only nation still to submit a .2h file for this turn.

Still a few hours to go until hosting though, so plenty of time for the turn to arrive, but thought I'd flag it up just in case. The forum activity stamp says that 'P3D' was last on the forums around 13 hours ago, so it does't look to be an AWOL case.

[archaeolept]

yeah 3 stales or close to it in the first 9 turns. wth

[quantum_mechani]

TC technically should have staled this turn but I extended and found a sub for one turn (Atul), unless P3D posts I guess I will start looking for a permenant sub.

[quantum_mechani]

Also, Marignon's sub Toran has requested another 24 hours so I've moved the host time.

Not much point in me continuing to do my turns, and my lone scout is getting tired of running all around the capital battlements, shooting at the fish men. So, Shin is going AI.

Have fun ya'll.

I'm back and ready to resume command of the Council of Cardinals. Perhaps some miracle has occurred and Smaug already graces Marignon with his blessed presence? One can only pray and hope.

[namad]

The nation which requested the delay already has their turn in quite early....


now I know you can't undo a delay because it might confuse someone but... could everyone try to get their turns in on the original schedule instead of waiting an extra 24hours that no one needs?

pls k thx bai

[Calahan]

The Marignon delay request may have been asked for so that the returning Marignon player (vfb) gets a chance to do his own turn rather than the one submitted by the sub (Toran). As I'm sure vfb would like the chance to ruin the chances of his own nation

It's also possible that the current Marignon turn is just a 'token' turn (just recruitment), and submitted to avoid a stale (just in case the delay request got missed/refused)

So I suggest that rather than everyone getting their turns in by the original deadline (so that the quickhost kicks-in), that the quickhost should be turned off to give vfb a chance to get a proper Marignon turn in, or until vfb confirms that he is ok with the quickhost being on (ie. He is happy with the current Marignon turn that has been submitted)

My own opinion is that regardless of whether or not a turn has already been submitted for a nation, if that nation asks for a delay, they should be given the chance to use it. The quickhost feature is not always a good thing IMO (and in fact I won't be using it in future games that I organise)


Edit: Having just checked the admin logs, the email for Marignon hasn't been changed back to vfb yet (which is to be expected given qm's timezone). So another good reason to turn the quickhost off for the moment.

[vfb]

I have no objections to using the currently submitted Marignon turn, but I don't think it's a good idea to undo a delay (as namad already said) (not that Calahan is suggesting that we undo the delay).

P.S. There was no arrangement for a delay with the intention of me redoing the turn, AFAIK.

P.P.S. I like quickhost, I especially like it when the last person to submit does another turn immediately (in the early goings, of course). I've only seen quickhost cause problems in network games when people try to do a turn offline but accidentally upload. What other problems have you had with it, Calahan?
