MP: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Finished (Ulm won by agreement)

[Valerius]

Also, my assumption is that even if I'm just a temp sub I should play Pan as I would if I were permanently taking on the role (and obviously trying to win the game).

If I'm just supposed to submit maintenance turns so that Pan is actually doing some researching/site searching but otherwise play passively please let me know.

Well, it appears the previous player password protected his pretender. Not sure if we can get around that.

Oh, God. I have no idea if I set a master password, but I deem it unlikely. Furthermore, I don't see option for defining it in the admin options.
It would require me to send the turn to myself so I would see exactly how Pangaea does and I deem that unfair, which is precisely why wouldn't I create a master password at all.

I am going to try anyways though. Pray now, whatever gods you worship!

EDIT: Nope, no master password. Oh my, who would think of passwording their pretender in PBEM. This is a bad situation. Unless Heinrich raises from the dead, there's not much that can be done. The password should be stored somewhere in the pretender file, but that is stored on llamserver and not being sent anywhere so only llama can get it.
However, llamserver sends a notice your email is no longer used for sending turns. That could be the raise dead ritual spell we need, since Heinrich should have that notice in mailbox right now and he did send a turn here and there, so he should be aware something is happening. Unless he smashed his screen in addition to his keyboard. Let us sit tight or dance around the fire in an atttempt to summon Heinrich the Silent.

In any case, can we turn off hosting until after the holidays?

[jimbojones1971]

That would certainly work for me.

If Pan is dead, and cannot be turned to AI, then I think we need a metagame solution.

If this is the situation, then I propose we:
- declare Pan to be in a state of civil war
- nullify any and all agreements that Pan had with its neighbors
- let the free for all, all you can eat commence!

BTW Lung Drago, I recently had a similar situation in another game, and had not set a master password. From now on, I will always set a master password! Live and learn, eh? :-)

Definitly get a PM to Lama first.

I will also be quite busy, is holding of until monday possible?
In any case, the fate of Pan would have a rather large impact on how my turn is done too...

[jimbojones1971]

Quite a few people were about to stale, I've postponed the game til Monday as per a few people's requests. Not quite sure if I've pushed it quite far enough into Monday, I will add some time if needed.

My last painting was unanimously (after a few mishaps) voted best painting ever in Avalon! I present my next masterpeice for all to adore:

Lucy, Goddess of the Lake

I postponed once more. I am determined to not let Pan stall anymore until this matter is resolved. One of these 3 things can happen:

1. I didn't have much time during the weekend, but I finally wrote to llama and requested his most divine opinion on the matter. Maybe we can depassword the pretender
2. We release the hounds on poor Pangaea and watch how they morbidly devour the flesh and bone from her with evil grins on our faces.
3. Heinrich rises from the dead and enlightens us what will happen next.

Also, I envy Lucy her ability to draw. I remember tearing up a lot of paper as a child
