----------------------------------------------------------------

Alright Folks.

Because last game had the organiser disappear from the board, I have stepped in to fill his shoes. taking the oppertunity to get some experience managing a game.

---------------------------------------------------------
The Players:

The Rules:

Vanilla
Late Age
New Players (>4-5 games experience) only

Urraparround2 map modified for equitable starting points
(http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attac...achmentid=5954 - Map
http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Urraparrand_with_harbors - Description)


Score graphs off (!)
Hall of fame size 15
Magic site frequency 40
Gold multiplier 125
Renaming on
-------------------------------------------------------------

Otherwise good luck everyone. New players remember that late age Ermor is different and often banned. I advise playing a few turns of it if you haven't, having a look. Also Atlantis starts on land, like everyone else.

Alright, let's finally get this show on the road! Looking forward to it.

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread
 

one more pretender and we are good to go

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread
 

Is there still a spot left? If so ill take it =)

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread
 

there is. Who would you like?

preferebly a land nation, as we have 12 preset starting locations, all on land.

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread
 

Ill take Panagea. Pretender sent.

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread
 

Almost ready.

Sent a PM pestering Gotchaaa

Re: Newbie game - Last Rites(LA) - Full - Submitting Pretenders/Migrating thread
 

and... i think we should start...

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

I am having an issue - i sent my pretender in to pretenders *at* llamaserver dot net

subject - Last_rites


returned error sayin its not a recognized game!

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

The game's already started, with Ermor as a player. Did you send a pretender in before Xanatos?

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

Postponed the process so you can deal with this.

tell me if you need me to rollback to the upload pretenders stage.

it won't do to have anyone miss their first turn...

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

Agreed, let's get everyone going. No point in losing players before we've even started.

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

well but lets make this quick. If we have to wait 48hrs during the first turns, this game will last forever...

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

after the first turn I'll be more harsh, I sware

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

So I have rolled back to the pretender upload stage. I'm hoping Xanatos uploads in the next 24 hours and this road block doesn't cause too much ball-ache.

My oppologies to people who are getting impatient. I figured it was a better call to get the game right at the beginning.

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

OK folks, i am on the road and for whatever reason the laptops i am using to access the game (via my external harddrive) while usually working, this laptop is not, the latest i will be home is sunday, so I should probably drop from this game due to technical issues=/ which is very disappointing for me. but i get cant open file errors on this machine when ending turns.

Re: Last Rites - Started - First Year
 

eleven players?

Re: Last Rites - Newbie game - Spot Opened Up! - starts in 10 hours
 

Sure. Unless someone drops in soon. This game has stalled for long enough already.

Re: Last Rites - Newbie game - Spot Opened Up! - starts in 10 hours
 

I should be home at the latest in 6.5 hours.
If thats not to late, I'll send an Ermor pretender.
But I'm expecting to get rushed and exterminated fairly quickly.
The Ermorian late game would be the dead of me... ;-)

Re: Last Rites - Newbie game - Spot Opened Up! - starts in 5 hours
 

I'm sure we'll oblige :p

you could always choose an empire other than ermor... (that also would make it less likely you get to the endgame)

Re: Last Rites - Newbie game - Spot Opened Up! - starts in 5 hours
 

Nah, I'll give it an try :-D
I'm on the way home, so pretender should be submited shortly ( < 0.5 h )

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Looks like we started this morning! :)

Good luck all; going to be a fun game.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Not at all unhappy. Better starting position and better pretender design.

I realized to late that a design involving luck and turmoil will work poorly on a map with 125% gold. Fortunately I could change that due to the restart.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

yeah, I'm liking mine better as well.

As a naval power, I actually have access to the see :D

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I'm liking my new start position a lot more too! Anyways, good luck everyone, looking forward to smiting you all ;)

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

but hurry up guys...how about setting the host to 12 or 24 hrs? making one turn isnt a problem and 12 hrs counts when the last player sends his turn, so probably it will be like "real" 24...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

It is strange that none of my games have hosted in the last 16 hours (Guesstimate). And the people on the other forum have noticed that the server does not always respond to your turn file when you send it in.
Or that is, your orders get carried out on hosting, but the server do not update the fact that you sent them your turn file and thus do not host until the time limit.

Have anyone noticed anything similar here or am I just paranoid?

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

The Game page says Atlantis and C'tis are missing...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

In tenderfeet the game page have said that Atlantis have been missing every turn for the last three turns. Yet despite that he has attacked indy provinces every one of these turns. This means that either he sends in his turn file ten minutes before deadline, or the server doesn't recognize his turn file for the purpose of knowing when to resolve turns. But do recognize it when resolving.

It's all very confusing.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

sorry guys it takes too much time
Im out

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

So Utgard went AI?
And Atlantis takes his time? (get an deja vui on this one...)

...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

well we should be around turn 6 or 8 and we didnt have turn 2 even....

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Atlantis is being played by a guy named Mule Warrior. His last post on the forum was signing up for this game in the other thread, 16 days ago.

It is possible that he has simply forgotten that Dominions exist and do not intend to play anymore.

Maybe we should put him as AI as well?

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Fine by me if you put him on AI. I fully intend to stick around for the full game, and I think once we settle in we'll have a great time. :)

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Its official, Atlantis stalled.
I too vote for AI, let us get some speed in here.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

ok, lets make it fast then

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

wow, just turn 2 and we already have people going AI? yes, this game has been awfully slow thus far, but it should start to pick up the pace(hopefully) so come on... if you signed up for this game than it means you want to play, don't just vanish after the first turn...

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Yikes, people are going AI already? This game must be cursed, but seriously, let's try to keep a good pace so we won't lose anyone else.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

are you sure it was a stall and not one of these 'processed the turn but looks like they didn't recieve the file' things people were talking about? I'll send an email seeing whats wrong.

as for the game being cursed, saros' pretender seems to have died... check the hall of fame. (it might be immortal though)

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I'm shure,
http://www.llamaserver.net/doAdminAc...ion=showstales

everyone can see the stalling statistic.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

yeah, he hasn't posted on the shrapnel forums since he asked to join this game.

he gets until everyone else has submitted their turns (or I wake up tomorrow morning, cuz of time zones) then he goes AI.

he doesnt have an email address in his profile either.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Setting a nation to AI in such an early time is not a good idea.
Maybe we should find another man to play ATL,or maybe we can start a new game.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

i don't really think we should start over again, I think we need to keep the game going so we won't lose more people. But I agree that it's a shame to lose Atlantis this early, so maybe we should see if we can find a sub by tomorrow?

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

fair, I could drop a wee sub request, its a bit of an awkward position for a sub...


http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=46684 <-- sub requested

Shall we wait a bit longer for a sub to come along, then?

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

I'd be willing to sub for Atlantis. Noone is interested in the game I want to start, so I'd be happy with any game (I've only played MA Atlantis before but I'll be sure to explore them a little bit in SP so I don't make a total mess of it). This will be my second MP game.

Let me know if you'll take me.

Re: Last Rites - Restarted - First Year
 

Oh well it really sucks to lose your god to a crossbow bolt that does 52 damage.
Ugh.
