Jomon has said he will go AI?

At any rate, I was fighting him.

I also have posted for a sub, and can't find one. I don't want to stale or AI, but must unless a solution presents itself immediately.

I will be gone from Saturday tomorrow, until Saturday June 5th (one week).

Unless something happens, I will turn Pythium to AI.

I have enjoyed playing online on the server like this. It is easier than playing via email and I like that. I feel like the game has barely begun.

Request for Extension

I am going camping this weekend Friday, June 25th through Sunday, June 27th. I will be back Sunday Evening, and I am in the CDT Time Zone (GMT - 5 in Summer). I would prefer a weekend extension.

Additionally, if our turns are not at 36-48 hours yet, we should bump the turn time up.

Anyone against 48 hour turns and a weekend break?

Also is anyone else having trouble connecting, cause the game keeps freezing at the retrieving game info part for me.

Just a note: Utgard is now AI.

I'm surprised we've gone more than 60 turns all at 24 hours and no one has asked for interval increase. Quite impressive.

I wouldn't be against 36 or 48 hours as of next turn. Might lean toward 36 but either one is fine. I'm handling the 24 OK so far. No problem with me if an extension is needed over the weekend.

That makes 4 AIs, now? Craziness.... Don't people ask for subs anymore?

Fortunately, I believe that AI Marignon and AI Jomon are duking it out for supremacy of the noreastern region of the continent...

Scratch the extension for me, I no longer need it. The campsite is flooded so we're "camping" in the back yard instead... and I would prefer to go to 36 rather than 48, not that I'm necessarily interested in either. I figured, since this was a game with new people, that we "should have" gone to 36/48 by now since we're getting into late game phase, but if everyone can keep up with the 24 hour turns, that's cool, too.

I have noticed that my most recent several turns have required two looks--one to survey and plan, then let it stew for a few hours and come back and change orders around before submitting.

Please, please, PLEASE STOP GOING AI!

We can at least try to get subs. If you just "go AI" we got nuthin'!

If Corvus wishes it I can put an AI lock on this game.

Its become a rather popular feature. You can set your nation to computer player but the game wont accept it unless I add that nation to the allowed-AI list. That gives the person running the game a chance to decide if they should hold up for a sub or allow the AI.

Well, on the one hand I'd hate to put the game on hold to look for 5 subs, which would probably take a while. On the other hand, with so many computer controlled players I get this odd feeling R'lyeh's gonna snowball. Seeing as Mictlan was the only thing stopping him from taking the western side of the southern continent... Do the people still playing want to wait a while, maybe a long while for subs, Or continue to duke it out as it stands, or should we just say this ones been killed by drop outs?

You can't replace the previous people who AI'ed out. The only one that can be repped is Herr Heimlich (Mictlan), and that is what I'd suggest.

R'lyeh would not be able to "snowball" as you say. I could grab a significant portion of the eastern territories and I'm sure Septimus (Atlantis) could grab his western possessions.

Regardless of strategy, I suggest pausing the game and finding a rep for Mictlan.
