The Artifacts Game - [ HOLY S**T MICAH WON!! ]

[namad]

if you guys think it would be fairer i can go blank instead of ai... and the odds of finding a sub go down everyturn if your all out attacking utgard without utgard defending itself... it's a fairly good position someone might volunteer to sub it like tomorrow

[Lingchih]

I am not attacking Utgard at all this turn. I will wait to see if a sub can be found. If not, I will be attacking Utgard next turn.

I am not an AI land grabber. Utgard has powerful units and I must defend myself.

That's reasonable.
What about extending the schedule?- Its starting to look as if you're ignoring me and that's hardly nice. right?
If you want to keep this crazy pace I've no problem with that. Just let me know and I'll post for a sub as well.

I think everyone (almost) has agreed to 72 hour. I have.
That said... this turn is done and submitted.

[WraithLord]

We all agreed and the schedule was changed to 72h quite some time ago.
I find it strange that the schedule was changed back and shortened w/o a notification to the players or even better - consultation.
If our host doesn't have time or inclination to admin the game then the best he can do is just say so. I'm sure we'll find a sub admin (and if not I'd be willing to).
I don't intend a coup here, just thinking out load - Sorry if I jump to wrong conclusion and no offense meant.

WL, I am not ignoring you its simply that there was never any agreement to go to 72hrs. You pushed for it a while back and it was discussed but never unanimously agreed on. Nor has it been now as I count only three players supporting, one of whom is leaving. But if its a choice b/w going to 72 and losing a player I will of course set it to 72hr.

[WraithLord]

Oh, I see. Thanks for the explanation.
I'm all for doing a vote on the subject but I'm afraid most of the players will not opine. In-fact I suspect that this is perhaps the reason why only three players supported 72h schedule.
As for me going AI - I've never went AI before but I find the pace brutal and stressing, couple that with having to submit half done turns and I hope you can understand why I even consider this option.

So, fellow players, can you please post your preferred hosting schedule?

[Ironhawk]

Heheh, WL - I wasnt clear enough there is no need for a vote. I've already moved the hosting schedule to 72hrs.

[WraithLord]

Thank you Ironhawk!

I don't want to sound pushy, but is anyone actually still looking for a sub for Utgard? I don't believe Namad will still be looking after these few days given that he said: "i just haven't ever found a sub and doubt it's even possible" (feel free to contradict me though, Namad, if you are in fact still trying to find one.) and unless I'm totally blind no one has even posted a looking for sub post.

I didn't want to stick my nose where it shouldn't be seeing as I'm neither the player of the nation, nor anyone who had anything at all to do with organizing the game. And perhaps I'm totally mistaken, and some anonymous people have turned on their full lobbying power and are quietly but insestently waging a behind-the-screens recruitment campaign. But if no one else feels called/has the time to look for a sub I should be able to at least cook up a snazzy recruitment/propaganda post, and possibly ask around a little too.

I for one have had, and still am having great fun with this game, and would feel it would be a shame to just let it quietly peter out, that's all.
