Tower of the Elephant - Newbie-Intermediate 10/10 - Ongoing

It would be pretty cool if people would post if they request an extension or if the admin does one. Lately it has become really annoying (to me) to see that Oceania always submits his turn 5 minutes before the deadline. I would like to get this back on a proper track, please.

I staled. I apologize, I lost track of dates. I recognize that my position at this point is hardly of importance, but since I find this behavior abhorrent in others I cannot hold myself to any less of a standard. Again, I apologize.

Sigil, You are a class act. No apologies necessary. Cheers Mate!

[Sigil Runestone]

That's kind of you to say, Matty. Thank you!

Okay, great. I am a semi-idiot. "Semi" because this was not documented on the Illwinter patch page, but I suspect most others read the proper protocol for updating Dom3. Basically, after llamaserver rejected my turn for being the wrong version, so I updated. However, the new version won't recognize my save. I have my manual/key but my disk is at the old house we have been moving from (see several pages back for a delay request in September). Basically, I'm hosed until later this week when I can go back and then reinstall Dom3 into another directory. I see little point in you guys waiting all that time for Lanka and it's one province (assuming I have one province after the stale), although I am disappointed that my very first MP game will end on this note.

Thank you for hosting, and having me. Cursed be Fomoria for wrecking my dreams of early conquest, and praise be to Caelum for being an awesome ally. All and all, not a bad length of survival for my first game!

Be well,
Sigil/Jonathan

It's the late game, I have a million billion mages to keep track of, and what's worse, it's the holiday season. And it's not just me who submits his turns at the last minute. We've all been pressed for time, I think.

Incidentally, because of this awful nonsense regarding the update version, this turn is probably going to be a stale from me. Apparently I'm going to have to reinstall the entire freaking game, mods and all, in order to submit any more turns, and I'm sure the deadline will have passed by then.

Edit: Okay, I finally found the other thread that tells you what to do. Kudos to Mattybyurn7 for figuring it out. Apparently, the game has to be uninstalled, then reinstalled in a non-program files folder. I'm doing that now. Still will be too late for this turn, but I'll submit next turn.

Remember to PM me if you need turn extensions, since I've already been eliminated I might not follow the thread too often.

Edit: I'm an idiot. I finally found out what I was supposed to be doing. I think it might be too late for me to get the turn in this time, but after several days of fiddling around with this absurd thing I think I FINALLY have got it working again. I'll have suffered a couple of stale turns from the bargain (I don't want to request extensions and slow the game down any worse), but hopefully Ill finally be back on track.

Double edit: Did manage to get a turn submitted. It's a bit suboptimal, but oh well. I won't be as pressed for time now, hopefully, and I'll try to do my next turn sooner rather than later.

Game has been delayed 72 hours due to requests from players.

[Ragnarok-X]

Turn is due in 48 hours and already people are asking for a 72h extension ? Sure its the correct game ?
