If I set you AI, I can't un-set you AI

I move on vacations on wednesday 30th until the 16th of august.
I'll try to connect as often as possible (game on usb key) but I can't vouch for more than once every 2-3 days.
Is it possible to have a 72h timer starting on wednesday ? If it's too much to bear, I'll try to play with 48h but...

[Dragar]

should go with 72 hours until Kheldron is able to log on more frequently. It would be a shame to have him stale or be forced to sub or AI

[Calahan]

All

Thanks for the delay this weekend, and apols for the hold-up. Should be able to get the current turn done in a few hours.

And I second 'Dragar' in saying we should move to 72hr turns to accomodate 'Kheldron'. Be silly to lose anyone at this stage just because of the hosting being too rapid.

Also, once 'Kheldron' is back properly on or around the 16th August, what's the general concensus on this game then moving to 48hr turns? The game will be close to turn 40 by then, which I think is quite late on to still be on a 24hr timer. I know I'm currently struggling to keep to a 24hr timer on a good day. (although I'm guessing my turns probably take longer to do than anyone else).

If most still want to keep with 24hr turns then that's cool. Just thought I'd throw the idea of 48hr turns out there and see what got thrown back :-)

[Janlm]

yeah lets do that, 72 hours now, and 48 once back to normal.

[Kheldron]

Thanks all.
I promise I'll try to make it as quick as ever.

72 hours is the new hosting interval. Continue to play when you can, but I very much agree that we should do our best to accommodate Kheldron.

"The hosting interval for AndeanZorro has now been changed to 72 hours, and the deadline for the next hosting has been automatically postponed by 48 hours.

Please note that this information will not be updated on the game status page for a few minutes."

Done.

I am going to be out of town for about 24 hours this weekend (JUST enough to get a stale). I hope you don't mind giving me a 36 hour extension. I will, of course, return and send my turn ASAP when I am back.

Uh, I actually went ahead and delayed it.

Hail Lords of War,

it is with great sadness that I must bear grave news. Know all that honor has definetly fled our world as the aliens of R'lyeh proved to be no less treacherous than their satyre counterparts. They just broke a NAP-5 they asked for when I was in a position to deny them most of their lands.

Act as your heart decide if you also have an agreement with these despitefdul creatures.

Lord of the deep, we believe your deeds were dictated by greed as much as vileness as you saw Pangea holding me in a stranglehold. You may have acted rashly to ensure some share of my lands before it was too late.
Well, Pangea just took a backbeat for having been too greedy and it would have been worse had he acted as I thought.
Meditate on this when you salivate on the piece of cake. I'm made of the bitterest lemon.

Anyway, if we intend to fight till the end, I do realize that being ganged by three nations is no less a trial than building sandcastles with a coming tidal wave.
To all of you who have borders with Pangea and R'lyeh, know then that they shall soon be more powerful than ever after swallowing me...and they just showed how much you can trust any agreement you had with them.

Now would be a good time to strike I believe.

R'lyeh went AI, but I am moved by your impassioned plea none the less, and I will gladly assist you by conquering the water provinces



P.S.
I like Lemon Cake
