I've kept my turns also.

I think it will be an interesting endgame. If there are any good battles, I will post screenshots and highlights, if I can.

Default holiday pause?

I've PMed Griffin. I'm hoping he can pause this game, since he started it, on Mosehansen. I will be out of town after tomorrow until next year (Jan 1), and I probably won't be able to finish this turn. The end turns are taking a long time for me to figure out what to do.

I hope this is okay with you Izaqyos (and Tyrant, you're still alive, though probably not after this turn).

This is fine by me.

Also it would be nice if the turns would be scheduled for five days. I find that four days for such a long turns is stressing.

I haven't heard back from Griffin, and this is my last chance to check email. I hope he can pause the game before the time expires tomorrow. I'd rather pause it than stale.

If we unfortunately stale, I guess we should just call it a tie.

Izaqyos, I hope you can get a hold of Griffin, I tried looking for an email address, but couldn't find one. Maybe you'll get lucky and see him respond to this forum in time.

Oh well. Happy holiday!!

Alas, I don't have Griffin's email as well.
I will probably also partially stale as I haven't had time to do nearly half the things I wanted done.

Clearly it ain't fair that you'd stale all the holiday. We cab either call it a tie or maybe stale together.

I guess with the turns taking so long now it is possible that we call it a tie. Though I feel I have a good chance to win, I'm sure you feel the same :-)

@Shmonk, I take it that you have staled last turn. After playing this game for a few months and investing so much time into it I hate to see it go unresolved. Then again, this is an unusual situation where we can't get a hold of the game's host. For the sake of fairness I concede to calling it a tie.

I have noticed that the timer is now set to more then 200 hours. which are about nine days. I'd say this will prevent any more stales. Taking into account that I wasn't able to give much orders the last turn would you consider continuing this game until the end?- I will understand if you don't but I'd be thrilled if we'll get the chance to bring this to game to a clear resolution.

I'm back.

I didn't give any orders last turn, so if we both staled, I'm fine with continuing on for a bit. I'm kind of conceding since I didn't submit any orders last turn while you did. But playing it out will be fun on the off chance I think I can turn it around and have a chance of winning.

Thanks again Griffin for changing the hosting schedule so we only had 1 stale.

I didn't stale last turn. I rushed my orders since I didn't have time so my turn wasn't complete either.
This is why I left it for you to decide. I would have decided the same thing had I been in your position. Simply for the fact that I don't care that much about the wining part. For me having fun is more important.

Anyway. Thanks for agreeing to continue. And best of luck!

BTW, in the turn you've staled you've killed my prophet and one of my demon lords. not bad for a stale

Edit: @Griffin, thanks for prolonging the hosting. I think it'd be good if the hosting is switched back to something like five days , 120h.
Editx2: come to think of it, it's best to leave it as is. please disregard my request.

Izaqyos, I hate to say it I have to concede. While I'd like to continue on for fun, I just don't have any time right now. The new year has started off with a "bang" and I have little time for this game, which takes a few hours a turn, if I really want to think about it and strategize.

It was fun though, and I got to see a lot of high level magic, so I know what to expect in the end game for other games. Great game, by the way. It was close.
