Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!]

[DrPraetorious]

I echo Squirreloid's concern - Blackguard, can we have a delay of 48 hrs or so?

[13lackGu4rd]

sure, I'll delay the game for you US folk. we still got more than 24 hours for the original turn duration, I'll add 24 hours for now and if you guys still need more I'll add another.

[13lackGu4rd]

extended the game by another 12 hours so all the turkey eaters can finish their turns without unneeded pressure. this will also take us back to evening(GMT) host times as it was until not too long ago.

[13lackGu4rd]

as you guys can see Patala has gone AWOL, thus I've extended the turn by another 24 hours(making it 48 hour extension in total) so his teammate can complete both their turns, and hopefully someone will step up and sub for the Patala player.

Is something being done about MA Man? That nation has staled the last 4 turns. That's a full month, the real world kind, with no turn submitted.

[13lackGu4rd]

MA Man is dead in the water, the way I understood it, his teammate was dead and he was no contender for anything. he also revealed his identity on the forums already(in case you missed that thread he made). I should probably just turn him AI, but letting him chain stale helps keep the game on a fixed schedule, so it's not all that bad. still, I guess I can turn him AI if it bothers you guys so much.

[DrPraetorious]

Man should be turned AI so that there is some disincentive in place to conquer all his stuff.

Man / Mictlan are still very much viable IMO. Not as viable as they were before the douche bag Man player bailed on the game, but certainly not an AI candidate. And an AI nation in a team game (while team-mate is still alive) can cause real (and very unfair) problems for that nation's team-mate.

The ideal solution of course is a sub, or the still anonymous Mictlan player to agree (by contacting the admin, and not via thread posts) to take over control of both nations (which IMO, is certainly far better than the constant staling or turning the nation AI). But only the active Mictlan player can decided if he/she is willing to do that (or maybe call in a favour owed to acquire a new team-mate)

All of this is IMO of course. (as the admin is the person who decides)


Edit - If you want to keep fixed hosting times, then I believe that can be achieved by turning quickhost off. Although I've not actually played in a llamaserver game without quickhost myself, so this will need either testing or confirmation. But in 'theory' it should keep fixed hosting times (unless my understanding of the quickhost feature is faulty)

[13lackGu4rd]

hmmm, I was under the impression that his partner was dead, my bad than. if that's the case though than I wonder why his partner didn't say anything about it, or volunteered to do Man's turns himself. not like there's a time shortage in this game, there have been plenty of extensions already and will continue to be if there's a real need.

Calahan:

Well, it's hard to say that Mictlan's game was very competitive. Hard to say how much was it his teammates fault. He can transfer gems from Man, set him AI and grab his provs, before others do.
