Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

your in my friend. Sorry you couldn't design your own pretender.

i'll pm you as soon as I get this llamaserver to do my bidding, and give me/you the password.

hmmm my lack of knowledge goes deeper. no idea how to email you, or how to find the password.

alright seems like this is what we need to do: dark elemental. drop me an email, or a private message with your email address in it. you can do that by clicking on my name: the option should be there from my homepage. if not post here and ill give you my email address.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

The problem was with me: I'd forgotten to enable private messages and email from forum members. Both should be enabled now, but I sent you an email just in case.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Great!Welcome!

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

all right.

welcome abord. I think this event marits a final 12 hour postponement...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I'm sorry to make everyone wait, but I'm having some trouble accessing the turn; it won't accept any password, even the 'master' password. This is my first PBEM game so I may be doing something wrong. I've just been moving the turnfiles to the 'lastrites' folder in my savedgames directory.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

There shouldn't be any in-game password.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

scratch this post, just figured it out...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Ok, I have to admit: if there is some special function to automatically send in the turns to the server, I can't figure it out. I've just emailed it to Colonial for now.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

No automatic, just send the turn file (.2h) to turns (at) llamaserver (dot) net

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Could we change the turn intervall back to 24 hours
Pretty please.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Korwin - its the 3rd turn... Preaparing and sending a turn takes around 2 mins...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I know, thats the reason why I don't want an 36 h turn around.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

hmm you should be conqered pretty fast - or I should be conquered;)
What if there will be turn 43...?

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

back to 24h.

sorry I forget to do that sooner. I'd like to see progress on this one so I may manually precess when we hit the 24 hour mark (the change comes into effect next turn...)

It seems Agartha has the same philosophy regarding life and unlife, if we can trust our sighting of the undead prince.

To further the philosophic exchange, we Bob are sending an emissary to you.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Hmm, if T'ien Chi had made the next turn after submitting last, we would Be allready in the Next turn.
**hint**

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

exacly....

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I didn't want to say anything because I'm a sub player, but yeah, Tien Ch'i's player taking so long to submit turns when the game is still in the very early stages (and turns shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes) is worrisome.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I don't really mind. we said 24 hours, he takes 24 hours. maybe he's a busy guy...

guess I could change it to 18 hours turns if its really pissing you all off

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

This turn he submitted the next turn immediatly. :)

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Dear Utgard,

after ruining my chances in the game, I hope you appreciate destroying your cyclops and 3 turns worth of lumberjacks.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

@Mule Warrior:

Hello there! :)

It appears our provinces are next to each other, and we would like to work out a border with you. We'd also like to sign a 3 turn NAP (i.e. we don't attack each other w/out a 3 turn warning first).

As a sign of our goodwill, please accept this crate of .... bananas!

- Patala

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I must say, this game is turning out to be pretty action packed. severed 36 (+1) heads this evening

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

To Patala: I just now submitted my orders, and sent you a fairly terse message, because we assumed that large army with elephants was about to attack our poorly-defended flank. A non-aggression pact would be wonderful. Atlantis has absolutely no interest in war with Patala.

The bananas were received, and to show our appreciation, this message should be accompanied by a crate of baby seal furs and a barrel of whale oil as gifts.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

@dark7element - No problem about the message. Even though we are monkeys and snakes, we will act w/ honor. Your western border is safe; will will not attack. Can we aid you in your war in some way? Also, thank you for the baby seal fur pajamas. ;)


@gotchaaa - I see we now share a border, and we welcome our new neighbors! We'd like to offer you a NAP 3 (we don't attack each other w/out a 3 turn warning first). Feel free to help yourself to some of the bananas growing down there.... just watch out for the monkey droppings!

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I appologise profusely everyone, but I'm gunna need to roll back the turn

my turn has become corrupted so I can't see who owns witch province. this might be the only chance to fix it.

I realise I should have done it 3 hours ago...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

no, what you should have done was delete both the .trn and .2h files of this game, than ask llamaserver to resend your turn and try again. rolling back the turn, especially without asking or even telling anybody first is bad. you're the admin of the game, but it doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want whenever you want, as that's just wrong. there are many reasons why many people, including myself, hate roll backs. the chief reason among them is that roll backs tend to cause a variety of bugs, which sometimes destroy games altogether.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Well, although the rollback will delay the game by a day or so, I'm not complaining, since this will save one of my valuable mages from an embarrassing death at the hands of a bunch of independent ichtyids. :D

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Hmm, double-post here, but I just got ANOTHER email containing 'turn 11', received AFTER the apparent roll-back. What's going on? Which turn should I play?

edit: Doh. I guess my tungalik will be meeting a fishy demise after all.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

@colonial: No worries; turn redone and sent in again.

Have a great weekend! :)

Nrasch (LeafyBits)

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Sorry blackguard, I won't roll back again.

everyone, use the second turn 11, if you could...

rollback ment my god will awaken later...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I hope you guys all know that you need to delete both the .trn and .2h files before using the new turn 11 files, otherwise it'll cause errors and bugs, on top of the random errors and bugs that occur with most roll backs.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

But, but, I won those battles last time around! With almost no losses even. How is this possible!

Clearly, this is the work of the nefarious Bob the Lich! He has great astral powers and must have used them to turn back time and change causality! This is only more proof that the world must unite against his reality perverting powers before it is to late!

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Hmmm... I'm fealing kind of bad about that call now...

If any of you want to take over as admin, I would be happy to let you

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Ehh... Don't be. Such is dominions after all. And its not like I have been crippled or something. Although whomever plays Pangeae is probably also quite pissed.

Then again, Bob the lich, of Ermor, is located comparably close to that province as well.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

First of all I want to thank you that you killed him without wounding him at all. That was a great butchers job.

And... well.. Mitclan is one of the strongest nations. Especially with that bless. We just had to do what we did...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

didnt know that... I resend the proper file

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Yeah I am pretty pissed. It changed from me winning two battles with minimal losses to losing most of my two expansion armies due to freak accidents that didn't happen last time.
That's pretty crippling considering I am right next to ermor who is being the usual LA boogeyman.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Eh, several people have suffered major setbacks. The null first turn has hurt me badly in the long run, and my unfamiliarity with Atlantis has made me run way behind on establishing enough forts. Plus, as was just discussed in this thread, Mictlan got mugged. Ermor is becoming a monster but everyone else is taking notice.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I have zero out-of-game problem with getting mugged, one should epect it on a crowded map. My first expansion was scripted bad, I lost my 2nd expansion party to the Cyclops - which did not have H2 priest to cast Sermon of Courage. The rollback itself hardly affected me.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Live and learn, now you know. It isn't exactly the end of the world, Ermor seem to have that covered ;)

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

That was a pretty improbable loss alright. If it makes you feel better I could tell you that very province also ate one of my expansion parties earlier.

Then again. Of all the indies in the province. After your attack, the only one remaining is a single indy commander. I will send the scout that observed the battle to deal with him next turn and see if I cant punish him for both of us::D

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Hey now I still claim that province. I will be back with the survivors next turn.
Besides its not the most unlikely loss I ever had. The most hilarious was with an air/astral bless kailasa where first turn an arrow hit my tough mage/priest before he could start blessing my troops causing 3 dmg (25hp commander) and afflicted him giving battle fright and he just up and ran taking my army with him.
I was dumbfounded as to just how staggeringly unlikely that was.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

All right, here's a potential worry:

Blackguard was saying that you sometimes get bugs from a rollback:

I know that on the rolled back version of turn 11 my pretender popped up, and this time around it hasn't even said the dorment pretender gods are awakening...

is it random what turn these guys begin to wake up, or is this a ****up?

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

don't worry, it's random when dormant pretenders are awakening. generally it's supposed to be on turn 12 but it's generally from turn 10-14 or so. you should have still gotten the general message that the pretender gods are awakening, but it's no biggie if you missed it.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

glad to hear it. did other people get the general message that they'se awakening then?

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - Second Year
 

Well there goes the crusade against ermor. Feel free to take bites out of his territory and push his dominion back. Better do it now before he can drown the whole world in undead.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - Second Year
 

Whats that crazy talk from Pangea?

Bob recommend to the neutral Pretenders:
Keep your neutral stance, in a little while you can feast on the corpse of Pangea/the Gorgon.

Would be crusaders will find only dead and misery in the Ermorian Empire.
Beware! You will only have one chance. Well maybe two. The eternity is long.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - Second Year
 

welp, his holiness just woke up... no worries on that front I guess

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - Second Year
 

I set Mictlan AI, I see no point of staying in the game just to kill 20 lumberjacks every second turn.
