Ok, so play as if nothing happened. If you already sent your turns in, they should still be sent in. If you haven't, get your *** in gear

Although actually, there is a hosting delay for BigDisAwesome over the weekend (he should be back Sunday).

By the by, I think now would be a good time to thank Llamabeast again for all the great things he does for this community!

BigDisAwesome · #**162** July 20th, 2008, 10:03 PM

Alright I'm back. I just got my turn in. Thanks again for the delay everyone.

anticipatient · #**163** July 21st, 2008, 02:29 AM

Great

You beat a whole lot of other people.

I don't want to change the hosting delay, in case other people planned around it, but please get your turns in when you can.

You're perfectly welcome BDA.

You couldn't be more right.

THANKS LLAMA !!!!!!!!

Sorry for Pan holding the game up a bit. (just submitted my turn) Was all set to do my turn yesterday afternoon, but then I noticed the 1st turn email that got sent out with the AndeanZorro / DarwinZorro mixup, so thought it safer to hold it back until the all clear was given.

Also, I may need a delay this coming Friday+weekend (apols in advance). I've got a big family wedding on Saturday and no idea how much time (if any) I'll have to sort my turns out. Best case scenario is I won't need any delay, worst case is that I'll need a delay covering Friday-Sunday. Will know more towards the end of the week, but thought I'd give everyone a heads up now. And the days of 5 minute turns are long gone for me as well, since it takes me about an hour to do a turn now. Too much chaff! :-)

I'd like to make some things clearer about the rules we use in this game.

I thought i was agreed in MP games that NAPs should always be respected. They could be broken in th agreed delay.
Isn't it so in this game?

Because a certain satyre nation just broke a NAP-3 and attack me in the same turn.

The other games I've been in made it an unbreakable rule so it would be good to know how we stand in this one.
I don't see the point of making any NAP in this game if they're worth smoke you see.

My understanding was that there is no 'rule' per se that governs treaties/pacts etc, its up to the player to trust the other party. Of course, any broken NAP should be made public so that the offender's reputation is tarnished, but I've always found the capacity to backstab is what makes diplomacy in multiplayer games potentially so exciting. I'm always too proud of my reputation to do it, but it always adds spice to a game when it happens

Kheldron · #**169** July 22nd, 2008, 04:52 AM

Ok then.
To add spice, I'd like you all to know Pangea was the one asking for the treaty while Ashdod was biting at his hoofs a few turns ago.

Since he sent his god and about 500 troops to me, all those of you that have an interest in his whereabouts or want to uphold any honor in this game shall feel free to go and plunder his lands, he won't have much to defend.

Enjoy!

Yes it is true, the Ruler of the Groves found it necessary to commit the age old, and well practiced art of treachery against the flight gifted ones, and no defence is sought for our actions. But surely the ancient High Seraphs must have realised that a time would come when other nations no longer turned a blind eye to their quest for domination of this world. The wise rulers of the skies must have known their plan to swallow up any neighbour smaller than themselves, until none remained, would not go unnoticed forever. Indeed, I foresee the other nations of the world rejoicing at the news that someone is prepared to stand against the growing might of Caelum.

So while Pangaea can be considered the villain in this particular chapter of history, it is Caelum's over aggressive actions that has made the writing of it a necessity. As we found it impossible to merely sit and watch another smaller nation fall victim to the powerful gaze from the Eye of Caelum. We consider Marignon to be our friends, and Caelum's decision to engage them in open hostilities has forced the Maenad hordes to respond accordingly.

Marignon will not be the latest casualty of Caelum's glory seeking, as it is they themselves who will be the eventual victims of their war.
