Epic Heroes Mod MA game(finished)

[GrayZ]

Luckily GE has, and has researched mind hunt & soul slay already

My MP experience is pretty lacking. A few games in dom 2 (pan, abysia) and two in dom 3 (Vanheim, Eriu - both not going well.)

I've played a few SP games of Arco & Ryleh recently to get comfortable with high level astral...

i do not vote on the subject banning game-ending spells because i did not made up my mind.

Ten Hours to Host! Do your turns!

If you sent them in, even if you received an email receipt, make sure that you verify that your turn has been received at the Llamaserver website.

I sent mine in earlier, and received an email saying it had been received, but when i looked at the web page it showed my turn had not been received. I had to resend it.

To date 4 nations have still not sent in their turns, or sent them in and were not retained due to the computer issue earlier with the host computer:

Rlyeh, Pythium, Mictlan, and Machaka.

I vote *against* banning game-ending spells.

Furthermore, I vote twice! From beyond the grave! Wooooo!

Seriously, I don't think it's fair to ban game-ending spells at this point. You should specify if you're going to do that sort of thing at the begining.

[Xietor]

As I explained, I understand that position. But I really am hosting this game to test Epic Heroes. And believe it or not, with the chalice and a very high d gem income, i can make a viable play to win with BOT up.

But I think it would achieve a better result for me to test my mod to let the races slug it out. If this was not the Epic Heroes test game, I would have never proposed it.

And it is being voted on-i did not unilaterally impose it on anyone.

[Xietor]

If a 5th vote is not received before the next turn, I will assume there is at least indecision among the remaining 5 about banning game ending spells after the game is started.

So if you are unsure, just do nothing, and all spells will remain fair game. And perhaps that is for the best since we did not vote at the start of the game.

[Xietor]

Ok,

It is now official-no spells will be banned. While only 1 voted no outright, the silence of 4 indicate doubt about changing the status quo. And it is possible that the astral races think they can get up that arcane nexus and steal a win.

I will state that I personally will not cast burden of time or utterdark. But the remaining 8 players feel free to cast anything you want.

[GrayZ]

I think that's the right approach, I delayed in voting because

1) If I voted no, I would be the first vote, and possibly make myself a target and
2) I had just joined the game, and didn't want to rock the boat.
3) I wasn't entirely sure either way, so I was hoping the decision would be made for me

It was only after repeated prompting from you Xietor that I voted - we'll see how big a target that puts on me

[Xietor]

I encouraged everyone to vote-not just you. The other 4 just ignored me. heh. If we were going to implement it, I wanted a decision made fast in case anyone has been sitting under the water making clams the whole game thinking that was their ace in the hole.

But it is now settled in a timely manner and the Rlyeh can continue their clam operations without fear(speculation on my part). I would recommend the other astral races save their own astral pearls for a dispel.

In another of my games the host time increased from 24 to 48 and now to 72 hours. My interest in that game is waning a bit because of the amount of time between turns.

When this game was set up, I said I was going to stick with a 24 hour hosting schedule. But since 2 players wanted a 48 hour host(and they are both still alive), I went to 48.

But the game will not be going to a 72 hour hosting schedule. The map is not that big, and I cannot envision anyone needing 72 hours to complete a single turn.

If your real life schedule becomes such that you cannot do turns in a 48 hour period, then you may be able to get a temporary sub until your schedule gets better, or even a permanent sub if there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

No one has even hinted to moving the game to a 72 hour schedule, but in case someone was thinking about it-do not.
